It Came From Japan: New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Endless Duel

Based on the popular anime hit series Mobile Suite Gundam Wing, New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Endless Duel hit Japan for the SNES in the late 90’s. Sadly the game never made it across the states. We missed out on a great 2D Gundam game, luckily there are English patches out there if interested.

When starting the game you are greeted with a intro screen, playing one of the themes in classic 8 bit. Nostalgia will hit as you gaze upon the characters, and Mobile Suite Gundam.

The gameplay is similar to Marvel vs. Capcom in which your able to perform air combos, specials, and you can dash. It’s a really fun game that gets crazy the more you play. Giant robots, projectiles, and laser swords. 

What more could you ask for in a Gundam game?

It Came From Nintendo: Super Smash Bros. Melee

After the success of Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64, the sequel, Super Smash Bros. Melee hit the Nintendo GameCube over two years later on December 3, 2001 in North America.

If you loved Super Smash Bros, then you probably loved its sequel. The improvements made in Super Smash Bros. Melee were substantial and left many gamers satisfied.

New features included an Event Mode, where you try different challenges such as Fire Emblem Pride. You could also take pictures by plugging in a controller to the fourth port of the GameCube. In the game you could collect trophies that resembled characters and items. Gamers could read about its history once you achieved them.

The characters roster was greatly expanded, you could now dodge even in midair, and the characters had more move sets that made the game a more technical fighter then it used to be. There was also of course the graphical upgrade, the new items that were scattered across the game, and new stages from each Nintendo universe.

You could even play enhanced remakes of stages from the previous Smash game as well. One of the coolest new features in the game was the Adventure Mode where you could play through stages based on each character from their universe.

Remember the stage 1-1 from Super Mario Bros? Ever thought to yourself playing through it as Pikachu from Pokémon, or Link from The Legend of Zelda? That was the weird nostalgia that Adventure Mode brought, playing through it with different characters. At the end of the Level would be a boss from that video game’s universe.

For example, in the end of the Super Mario Bros stage you have to fight both Mario and Princess Peach on top of her castle from Super Mario 64, which is also a playable stage in the game.

This game was a dream come true, not only as a fighting game but also because of Adventure Mode that made the game a platformer in its own unique way.

It Came From Nintendo: Super Smash Bros.

Smashing its way onto the Nintendo 64 in the late '90s, a new franchise was born. Super Smash Bros. was a hit fighting game that sold over five million copies.

The game was marked down by fans as one of the greatest fighting games ever created. The 3D fighter took all of Nintendo’s well known mascots from different games and created an amazing crossover game that pitted them against each other in a four player madness.

It was a completely original fighting game.

Gone were the traditional health bars and special meters used in traditional fighters like Street fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom. The gameplay was simply mass mayhem, seeing who can knock the other player off the stage.

For gamers who haven’t played any of the smash games yet or those who may have forgot, here’s how the game works.
