(Retro) What have you been playing this week?

[Fader209]

You lack the mad skillz my friend
It was proper crazy some of the things I was managing to do when playing the game last night, went a bit delirious at one point after doing a red coin level set in like a pinball machine thing which I failed to complete years ago.
I never realised before that the "FLUDD-less" levels are very similar to some of the ones found in Galaxy 1 & 2 right down to the backgrounds and objects used.

This is the EXACT level I was picturing!

I love Sunshine, I know some people don't think much of it but along with many of the GC games I can play it time and time again and not get bored.

I've been playing a lot of Burning Rangers this week. Man, those graphic glitches are awful but I'm still enjoying the game

It's a nasty level! Took me 5 attempts I think in the end whereas before on my old file...maybe 50 fails?
Sadly I am now stuck on another tricky one - popping balloons with rockets on the roller coaster at Pinna Park. Can manage 18/20 so far and the aiming is horrific.

I have to say I am loving the game, it's just as good as Galaxy and I suppose you can't really go wrong when you follow the same formula as Mario 64.

Oh yeah, do you get on Brawl much? I really fancied a go on multiplayer with that the other day.

Critical Velocity. It's kinda decent, but kinda lame at the same time.

I never liked a Mario Kart as much as the original one, with the GBA one coming close simply because it was so much like the SNES one.

100% agree. My 10 year old nephew went mental when i mentioned this to him

started Donkey Kong Country this morning, only played it briefly first time round, thoroughly enjoying it are 2 & 3 worth picking up also?

2 is mint! I still prefer the first one out of the three though

[losersclub]

I recently finished Seiken Densetsu III which i certainly enjoyed although the last ten hours seemed a bit tacked on to give it extra content with no plot advancement - i'm pretty sure Secret Of Mana was shorter, or at least felt it! Can't really decide which one of the two i prefer though.

The Snes has also been getting a lot of other play time with Super Mario World, Buster Busters Loose and Chomakaimura

A little bit of 3 Count Bout on MVS as well as i picked up another MVS setup for my cab

3 Count Bout is fun. It's a little clunky, but it is pure 90's arcade, and for that reason I love it.

Definitely pick up DKCR for the Wii too if you are able to. One of my fave games of this gen (probably because it sticks to the gameplay from the older gens )

Most definitely! DKC2 is a masterpiece with some of the best music in any videogame ever. DKC3 doesn't quite reach the same heights but is excellent nonetheless. Both give a decent challenge too if you want to access all the hidden levels and gain 100% completion (well, I think it is actually 102% and 103% actually!)

I've had some interesting conversations with my nephews or my friends kids about stuff like that, it's pretty funny at times. Hardly ever see them but got my nephews hooked on all sorts of Street Fighters, Namco fighters etc .

Bought Battletoads on the SNES the other day and played it last night. Used to play it as a kid but could never get very far at all. Not much has changed but still a great game with some awesome background music and the fact you play as a frog who beats up pigs is hard to top

Also had a blast on R-Type (I rebought this boxed) which again has some great music and is good fun but seemed to have an awful lot of slowdown when the screen got busy/I had the laser upgraded weapon.
