Ninja Warriors Again was actually made by Natsume. Still a great music though, I have the soundtrack that City Connection released for it last year.
But if Zuntata had a go at it, It would be amazing! Daddy Mulk from the original Ninja Warriors is one of the best VGM tracks ever.

While we're on Technos, give Kuniotachi no banka a try. It rocks.

How difficult to find is return of double dragon? Even SFC is fine.

How do you feel about Pocky & Rocky?

Shin Kidou Senshi Gundam Wing Endless Duel is great.

Boxed is expensive unfortunately, and I don't deal with nekkid carts.
SFC is better because they actually bothered to finish the game, otherwise enjoy no intro or ending.

Natsume really needs a greatest hits/collection disc one day
also: anyone know if there's a loading speed difference between Super Everdrive 1 & 2?
haha is that what Ninja Warriors was called in japan? struggled to get that game for like $30 years ago, this hawaiian dude sold me what's still the roughest looking label of my library but it plays great & i don't even wanna know what it goes for now
yeah rented it in the day & this was my takeaway too, never did play DD/battletoads though
i have SMT 1 & 2 as well as Bahamut but haven't really given them a go yet (or Seiken Densetsu III now that i think about it), but BS Zelda felt like the Mario All-Stars remake of Zelda 1 - some changes aren't gonna be for everyone, but all classic Zelda fans should give it a go one day

It's hard af but still fun, and the Genesis version is even harder but at least it's closer to the NES version with more music and sound effects.
This man speaks truth.
This section still remains my favorite:

Yeah, it actually plays a little different because it has an additional enemy type. Also there's blood (but it's green).
Just completed this as well, pretty decent game, although a bit too short and easy for my taste. But well worth owning and playing for sure!

Does Demon's Crest need any knowledge of English? I'm thinking about getting the Super Famicom version.
Edit: looking more into it, yes.

JP ver has like blood 'n stuff, right?
Blood and religious imagery.
Got Vampire's Kiss and fired it up for the first time today. I know it cant match the PC-Engine original, but its been more than five years since I played that, and treated on its own terms, this game is pretty great!
Edit: Btw, what is peoples opinion on Secret of Mana? Is it playable alone, or do you need to do it in mp?

Sorry, but the best advertising for Super Castlevania IV remains the Japanese TV ad.

You have a Wii U? You can try the VC version to make sure it's your type of game first before investing in a pricey cart.

Mana was a blast with a friend, but yeah, the OST is the finest part as I recall
Yeah, its definitely cool they made that option, now I constantly have to guard my companions so that they dont die (and thus loose leveling progression I guess), Stuck at the huge Fire Dwarf pretty early in the game right now, I enter the room, it starts to chain attacks on me, and I cant even move. And since the AI is stupid and keeps following me, his attacks will always hit all three characters at once. It seems they never quite decided if they were going to make a normal turn based rpg were attacks are unavoidable, or an action-rpg as they ended up with. As an action-rpg, its just nowhere near stuff like Soul Blazer or even the similarily disappointing Crusader of Centy.
Edit: And the hit detection is just fucking atrocious lol. It seems to be there simply are a lot of situations where you cant hit, or maybe there are evade-ratings to watch for? Anyways, goes against all normal actio-rpg rules.

lol yeah, I havent had the chance to finish my co-op run. But I think we yelled at each other more than anything (in good spirits of course). "Hit it!" "I did but it wont take!" "Move over to the side then hit it" "Damn it, you do it!" lol.
Secret of Mana mostly prides itself on music and art. Now I havent played SD3 yet, so maybe thats better action. Legend of Mana has the same problem.
EDIT: I think there is some kinda accuracy / evasion factor going on in the game that isnt mentioned. Or its semi-turn based in a way. You cant just spam attacks ala Ys or Zelda.

Gotta confess, I wasn't really feeling Secret of Mana when I got around to it in 2010. Loved the graphics and sound, but the actual gameplay? Waiting an arbitrary amount of time to be able to use your weapon again (and not just weakly swinging it around to do 1HP damage) didn't feel good to me at all. Worse, apparently the accepted "correct" way to play the game is to spam magic so the bosses/enemies can't attack back worth a damn. Haven't gone back to try it since learning that, but if the correct way to play the game is to cheese it because physical attacks are worthless...

Unless you love the music and aesthetics (Like I do), I don't think Secret of Mana is all that fun outside of co-op, to be honest

Secret of Mana is extremely overrated. Even 20 years ago when I only had a handful of games to compare against it was still disappointing

Hmm. Don't recall many negative impressions of SoM. I do seem to recall grinding to upgrade weapons, which wasn't much fun in the early going.

I still play it yearly. Lovely game and definitely one of my top of that era.
I even beat it on iOS!

It didn't age well, unlike the vast majority of snes hits.
You're not alone in that view. If it wasn't a square rpg it wouldn't have gotten the attention it did.
But if you played it back in 1995, you'll still love its quirks today
Terranigma > Mana
But look how few of us knew about terranigma.
