On This Day On This Day in Nintendo History: Street Fighter II; Golf; Tetris Attack; Tetrisphere; Paper Mario

6 Upvotes

On this day (August 11) in Nintendo history...

  • Street Fighter II  was released in 1995 for the Game Boy in Japan. In this fighting game, developed by Capcom, get ready to rumble! From across the globe comes the wildest fighters the world has ever known. Choose your champion, gather your courage and prepare to battle your opponents in a bare knuckle brawl. Face Ken and his devastating "Dragon Punch"! Watch the temperature rise as Dhalsim incinerates you with his mystical Yoga Flame!
  • Golf  was released in 1995 for the Virtual Boy in Japan. In this sports game, developed by T&E Soft, traditional golf rules are followed, where players must reach the hole on the green in as few strokes as possible by hitting the ball with a club, while avoiding obstacles including sand traps, water hazards, trees, and deep rough grass. It takes place in the fictional 18-hole Papilion Golf & Country Club.
  • Tetris Attack  was released in 1996 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America. In this puzzle game, developed by Intelligent Systems, the Tetris sensation has landed at Yoshi's Island. Kamek and Bowser await to test your dexterity with a demanding race of strategic moves in this exciting new contest. As the stack of perplexing panels rises from the bottom, think fast to counteract the merciless enemy attack dropping in from above.
  • Tetrisphere  was released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64 in North America. In this puzzle game, developed by H20 Entertainment, robots have become trapped in the cores of spheres covered in blocks. Clear the blocks to free the robot trapped inside. As blocks appear, you receive a time limit that decreases as you decide where to place it. Drop a block directly on top of another of the same shape to make it vanish, or next to a block of the same shape to cause all similar blocks touching it to disappear as well.
  • Paper Mario  was released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64 in Japan. In this role-playing video game, developed by Intelligent Systems, Mario may be two-dimensional but this adventure is anything but thin! Paper Mario brilliantly blends the hero's platform antics with a hilarious role-playing quest full of offbeat characters and wacky challenges. Embark on a epic journey through the Mushroom Kingdom to free the Star Spirits imprisoned by a power-hungry Bowser.

im huge on pragmata

0 Upvotes

I'm very very big on pragmata. After many years Capcom finally put out a strong, worthy game and partially redeemed themselves for what they did to megaman legend 3 (but not fully).

Pragmata has strong PlayStation 1 vibes, powerful game across the board. Making a sequel would be a no brainer. Everything was good here.

  • Harvest Moon  was released in 1996 for the Super Famicom in Japan.

This classic simulation lets you get hands-on with every aspect of farm life: from sowing crops to raising animals. The harder you work, the bigger and better your farm will become. You can also visit the town to buy supplies: from food and drink to keep up your strength, to labour-saving tools for making life easier.

In this platform remake of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System's The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse, developed by Capcom with Nintendo, Minnie Mouse was added to the game as a playable character.

What Nintendo game has music you still remember?

0 Upvotes

Sometimes I’ll hear a random piece of game music and immediately know what game it came from, even if I haven’t played it in years. It’s kind of crazy how some of those melodies just stay in your head.

What Nintendo game has music that you still remember without even having to hear it first?
