Anyone interested in any of Sunsoft's titles like Raf World (known as Journey to Silius outside of Japan, which Sunsoft was planning to make it based on The Terminator before they decided to release it as Raf World / Journey to Silius), Gimmick! (known as Mr. Gimmick in Europe), Ikki, Chô Wakusei Senki Metafight (which its plot was changed for its American and European version, Blaster Master), Trip World, Galaxy Fight, Aero the Acro-Bat (and its spin-off, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel), The Wing of Madoola, Waku Waku 7, Atlantis no Nazo, Hebereke (known as Ufouria: The Saga in Australia and simply Ufouria in Europe) and its puzzle title: Hebereke no Popoon (known as Hebereke's Popoon in Europe)?
Sunsoft was also known for developing titles based on popular licenses. Most notably Time Warner's cartoon shows and comics.

I used to have copies of Final Fantasy Legend and Final Fantasy Legend II. Definitely not as good as most console RPG's I played, but considering that they were for the Gameboy, they were pretty good.

Sunsoft had a few hits (most of the ones you posted), but they flooded the Famicom with games of widely varying quality. They were an early third party company. I'm gonna have to finish my lists of all Famicom games  |

The Final Fantasy Legend "trilogy" (originally SaGa) and Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu) were originally developed and published by SquareSoft, but a few years later, they were re-released in the US by Sunsoft. It's a situation I'm sure you're all too familiar with. So... they're not really Sunsoft games. |

I knew those games weren't really Final Fantasy games (God I hated localisation in the 80s/early 90s), but I didn't know about the rereleases. Anything worth mentioning, or did they simply publish them a few years later for seemingly no reason?

Pretty much no reason. The games were exactly the same. Sunsoft just stuck their logo on the boxes.
I actually have the Sunsoft release of FF Adventure, and the SquareSoft release of FF Legend II.

I enjoyed Blaster Master on the NES, and I hear that Batman is one of the better NES licensed games done for the system, but I can't say I've played too many of their games.

Gimmick! kicks mayor amounts of ass and is one of my favorite NES games... though a bit short and unforgiving hard sometimes (wizzle level 3 and it's run-jump 1-hit-kill spike cave). I still think the whole star attack is pretty creative and rad for a NES game. Blaster Master is really fun aswell and since I love simplistic NES games, Atlantis no Nazo scores pretty high on my list e: Holy hobo I didn't notice that link you posted there parrothead. The video is bloody awesome, it even has Super Arabian  e2:..but it doesn't have Gimmick?!  |

SNK / Playmore recently announced that they are going to release Sunsoft Collection for Sony PS2 sometime in 2008. They might release it worldwide. However, it's only going to include Waku Waku 7 and Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors. |

Even so...
Waku Waku 7 is a fantastic fighter. Memorable characters... fun gameplay... and graphics that rivaled that of most fighters at the time.
Galaxy Fight is pretty forgetable.... none of the characters were liked.... it was slow, boring and dull. But I suppose it did pave the way for Waku Waku 7 which I really liked.
I'd like to see SNK's Sunsoft collection, hopefully there's some awesome new artwork for the games like they did for their other collections.
You know it'll only cost 20 bucks, new... so it's no harm. And who knows? Maybe if they ever make a sequel to NGBC we'll see some Bonus Kun or something.

I really didn't like GB version of Batman, when does Batman uses a gun? but still hilarious and the intro music was pretty creepy. |
