Love is in the air with Valentine's Day on the horizon, but who gives a shit about that? There's new shit to play on NES Online. That's way more important. THE GAMES: SUPER MARIO BROS. 2: - Radically different from the first game and all the succeeding 2D Mario games, but I still like it a lot. Many staples of the franchise came from this game, like enemies (Birdo, Shy Guys, Bob-ombs), the ability to pick up and throw shit (something Mario's been able to do since this game), and even character traits (Luigi being taller and having a higher jump, Peach's float in Smash). Super fun, worth playing at least once. KIRBY'S ADVENTURE: - Believe it or not, this is actually the second game in the franchise (the first one was on the Game Boy). Kirby games are known for being easy yet incredibly fun, and this title is no different. This game introduced Kirby's iconic Copy ability, has some fun minigames, and is just a delightful time all around. I had a dumbass grin on my face the entire time I played through it. In addition, we get two new SP games: BLASTER MASTER SP: - A save state that puts you at the final level and decks you out with all the upgrades. Nothing special. METROID SP 2: - A second SP version of a game? This one puts you at the very end of the game where you go through Tourian to kill Mother Brain. If you beat it, you get to see the secret ending that reveals that Samus is a girl (spoilers from 1987). Still a save state, but it's great if you've never seen that ending in your life. We only get two new games again this month, but considering what we got are a pair of NES essentials that really should have been here sooner, I'd say they're worth it. Once again, the SP games aren't much, but I'm starting to get used to that.
I'm hoping the upcoming Nintendo Direct will reveal something other than a NES emulator for online subscribers, because as much as I love this, I'm kinda itching for a GB emulator that has Tetris in it. In any case, I'll be playing through Kirby while I wait for the Direct. - end -
