It's comments like THAT that make me glad most gamers don't make games. Yeah, I'd love to see a more hip and radical Muddy Mole. Maybe give him Rayban shades and a surfer dude look? Ew that is not what I meant at ALL. He can be altered to look contemporary without being made EXTREME and MEGA-COOL. I don't want anything about his character to be changed, I love the bumbling father personality. I just want him to look different enough that people stop confusing him with Monty Mole. Though admittedly this has been less of a problem lately since Monty himself has gotten more pronounced and unique in design in recent years. Yeah, I like how Monty is now personified with using cannons. Also burrowing in Mario Galaxy. I think if Muddy was redesigned, he would have a shirt or something.

I guess these five franchises are the most forgotten: Solar Striker: This is perhaps Nintendo's only scrolling shoot'em up. It's one of the simplest scrolling shoot'em ups I've ever played. It was also represented at the very beginning of the "Trouble with Tetris" episode of Captain N: The Game Master. Right now, I have a feeling telling me that shoot'em ups are nearly obsolete. Also, like many Game Boy titles, Solar Striker became forgotten. Many people preferred home console gaming than handheld gaming back then, until Zelda: Link's Awakening, the Final Fantasy Game Boy titles and Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/Green came out. Stunt Race FX: Several people thought this was just another racing video game. Not even an extremely-rare, limited edition, Hot Wheels-brand F-Type race car given to those who sent a rebate from an Apple Jacks box made Stunt Race FX sell well enough. When I saw it, I wanted to play it. The music was good, but the replay value is pretty low. One of the largest (if not, the largest) problems about this game is the controls. This is what got Stunt Race FX in making several people lose interest in it. However, if you want to play something more challenging than Super Mario Kart, play this Super FX title. Another large problem is that Super Mario Kart for the SNES has what Stunt Race FX doesn't have: Cheating weapons. Because it brought a new way to play racing games. But the most notable thing that Stunt Race FX has that Super Mario Kart lacks: 100% 3D-graphics. Super Mario Kart has just sprites moving around Mode 7-powered race tracks, while Stunt Race FX has everything in 3D. Tin Star: This was released near the time many people lost interest in the Super Scope and the SNES Mouse. Wild West-style video games aren't very popular. Also, most gamers prefer less-wacky video games other than the Mario-related ones. This wasn't released anywhere else other than North America. Most old-school Nintendo arcades: Space Launcher, Helifire, Space Fever, Sky Skipper, Space Firebird and Space Demon, are some examples I could think of. Why not rerelease them even for those who are curious about Nintendo's past? Helifire was going to be ported to the NES/Famicom, but then it was cancelled. Space Fever was Nintendo's version of Space Invaders, with three different modes. SF-Hisplitter, released the same year, was a special version that features aliens double the width of the standard variety, which can either be destroyed completely or split into two smaller aliens depending on where they are shot. It later got its own sequel as a minigame in the Game Boy Camera. There are also some Sky Skipper references in the same Game Boy title. Space Launcher, Space Firebird and Space Demon are probably the most forgotten. Sheriff, Radar Scope, Donkey Kong, Popeye, Donkey Kong Junior, Donkey Kong 3, Punch-Out!!, Super Punch-Out!!, Arm Wrestling, the VS. series and the Playchoice arcades are the least forgotten. Time Twist: Read the history about it at Wikipedia. And while you're there, read about its settings and characters below in the article. Those are several reasons why Time Twist stayed in Japan.

Dunno what's the problem, the mole already wears a scarf and glasses, that's enough to seperate him from the average mole. Throwing a jacket on him would be like throwing jacket on Kirby... or Yogi BearOh and a lot of people hate on Wrecking Crew because of Screw Attack's video. Wrecking Crew is awesome, fuck the haters

Heh, I like the bit where it says in 1995, the world has been destroyed by a nuclear war. As for the game itself it sounds quite interesting. The fact that you can never get a 'Game Over' is interesting as well. Damn you, NOA and your religous censoring poilicy!
