He takes a couple uppers, he downs a couple downers, but nothing compares to his blue and yellow, red pills. Either that or add Eggplant Wizard to Smash. Nintendo should hook up with one of these top-tier indie outlets to reimagine Pit’s first outing for modern audiences.
I still think Kid Icarus is absolutely ripe for a remake. Kirby’s Dream Land is one such game, and while it’s easily the worst Kirby platformer, it’s still a pretty decent Game Boy game thanks to the adjustable difficulty. There are several games on this list I’m coming to with a fresh perspective having played them since I last ranked these titles. Thank God they turned things around for Fatal Fury 2. No wonder Street Fighter II, which released several months prior, absolutely ate this game’s lunch. For some reason, Fatal Fury only ups the number of playable characters by one (Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi), keeping the rest of the characters controlled by the CPU. One of the main critiques of the original Street Fighter is that you can only play as either Ryu or Ken with the rest of the cast restricted to the CPU. So Fatal Fury: King of Fighters was created by Takashi Nishiyama, who a few years earlier gave the world Street Fighter from Capcom.
#SUPER MARIO LAND 2 SECRETS FULL#
Made it a full two rounds before I switched right back over to 3rd Strike. Right before I sold it on eBay for a nice profit, I tried to play through the original Street Fighter in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for Switch.
Super Mario Land would have been placed lower on the list for being such a strain on the eyes, but its soundtrack is sick. The arcade game is not that fun, so this spot on the list is based on the Game & Watch title, which is pretty decent from what I remember of Game and Watch Gallery 4 on the GBA. He actually appeared in the Mario Bros. Game & Watch several weeks before that. Nintendo considers Luigi’s first appearance to be in the Mario Bros. Your game sucks, but you’re so much fun to play in Smash Bros. Given the state of early video game preservation, I probably never will. Three years have passed since the first list and I still haven’t played Gyromite. On this re-ranked list, it takes its rightful place in the bottom spot. It’s pretty much the video game equivalent of a pinwheel: extremely basic with a novelty factor that wears off within seconds. But, have you ever actually played Ball for the Game & Watch? It’s boring. Don’t get me wrong, Ice Climber is not a good game. The first time I made this list, I convinced myself to put Ice Climber at the very bottom of it. So strap in, sit tight, and get a notepad out because you’re going to want to make notes on where I totally screwed up this time. This time, there are more than 90 characters from 72 different games represented. With Sora finally out in the wild and Masahiro Sakurai back frozen in carbonite until the next Smash Bros., now is the perfect time to revisit that original list and re-rank the games. Thankfully, two season passes of characters are giving me another shot at creating the ultimate ranking for Super Smash Bros. I was pretty proud of that first list, but looking back at it, there were several placements I knew I got wrong. Not only were there 59 different games I had to sort through, but I’m pretty sure half of them were just Pokémon and Fire Emblem titles, and who can honestly tell the difference between the games in those franchises? In fact, it was a very dumb decision for me to make. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch, I gave myself the thankless task of trying to rank every fighter based on the game they originated from. Three years ago, just before the monumental launch of Super Smash Bros.
