What the hell is a Rocky Wrench doing in a grassland area?!

Just realized that myself. XD Despite that glaring error, I still like the box.  |

Really, really nice work. I've also read into your other "Virtual Console No Show" posts. Remember that Nintendo isn't exactly an expert in making Nintendo system emulators.
My only complaint is that your Konji Kondo's music post induced a good amount of lag, raised my CPU usage to 50% and raised my CPU temperature by 10K (or increment of 10°C). All those YouTube players are instances of Flash objects, and Flash is slow when you run some 40 of them together in the same page. (With Flash Player 10.1 anyway; haven't tried Flash Player Square on 32-bit browsers yet.)

Yes, I was indeed afraid of CPU performance with the massive size of that post. I may split it into two parts to try to alleviate the issue. Edit - Did just that, so hopefully it won't be as much of an issue. Thanks for reading the VC No-Shows posts, too. I like writing those. I'm sure there's good reasons as to why Nintendo hasn't released some of the games I've covered, but they remain glaring omissions in my book. Update - My NES Spin-offs piece is up. |

Ah, the music pages are better now.
You're no good at puzzle games? Too bad. I'm pretty good at those (being my favourite and most proficient game genre), and to answer your post,
- Wario's Woods is very, very difficult. Do not try unless you're really good at action puzzle games.
- Mario & Yoshi is a pretty simple, straightforward game. You don't have to think much like Puzzle League or even Dr Mario, and you can pick it up easily - unfortunately, this game seriously lack contents as well. Again, not recommended.
- Yoshi's Cookie is a pretty good game for burning up some extra time. It's not a lot pressure there, although you do often have some last pieces that you cannot clear, and it's rather frustrating. You also do the same thing 100 times over and nothing else if you play the NES version. The GameCube version is the best one, but you also get to clear... 990 boring standard stages (and it does get a lot harder by level 99) when you are not playing the new modes.
Of these three puzzle games, I'd recommend Yoshi's Cookie the most.
I've never played NES Open Tournament. I probably won't, either, as I'm never used to the UI of golf games outside of the ones made by Camelot.

I'm not too big on puzzle games - I find them boring, I guess. The only two I've liked enough to keep a hold of is Meteos for the DS and Sega Swirl for the Dreamcast. *shrugs*
I've played Wario's Woods, and it's not all that much fun to me. Yoshi I distinctly recall wanting to try when I was a kid, so I would consider giving it a shot. Yoshi's Cookie...I've never understood that one. Thanks for the comments, though, YL! I appreciate the advice. ^_^
Tonight, I'll have another article or two up, depending on how much I feel like writing.

Wario's Woods was the last NES game released in both Japan and North America, but I noticed something. While Wario's Woods was first released in Japan, Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II came out in North America next. While the North American release of Wario's Woods is sort of like a re-release, Zoda's Revenge was pretty much the company Nintendo's last real NES game.
(Mario &) Yoshi was Game Freak's first involvement with Nintendo. Between this and the Pokémon series, Game Freak also developed the SNES Mouse-compatible Mario & Wario.
The 1983 Mario Bros. arcade rendition of Mario seen on the Japanese front cover of Wrecking Crew was last seen in the ending of the Game Boy title, Alleyway, one of Mario's least known appearances.
(Mario &) Yoshi and Yoshi's Cookie were also released for the Game Boy. Yoshi's Cookie was also released for the Super NES with extra features like a puzzle mode where you have a limited amount of turns to slide and match all cookies to clear the screen. In its VS. mode, Yoshi's sprite later seen in SMW2: Yoshi's Island make's its first appearance.

themushroomkingdom.net/smb_release.shtmlSomething I just read from TMK. I was very surprised to see that NOA kept no record of the release dates of NES games. Happy birthday, Panepon. Now that reminds me on how hard it is to play Nintendo Puzzle Collection on GameCube. It's far, far more difficult compared to the SNES one.
