Finally, we get to the SNES Stuff here at Finding Nintendo Version 2.0! We'll be starting with a review this time!
Beavis and Butt-head is a Platformer based on the hit TV Show of the same name. Released in 1994, it received mixed reviews. I found it entertaining and fun myself. Here's why:
Story: 3/5
"Beavis and Butthead want to go to a GWAR concert and the only problem is that
they don't have any money. They think that if they take pictures of themselves
doing cool things, they will be able to get in for free."
Yes, it's a pretty basic story, but I found it rather unique for it's time. Anyway, that's about it in terms of story.
Gameplay: 4/5
This is a Platformer with Action elements, as many of them have. You know, left and right, up and down, kill enemies with whatever means the game gives you. Still, who could argue with this tried and true formula? You move left and right, picking up weapons along the way to combat whatever comes your way, whether it be jocks, skateboarders, evil teachers, dogs, or whatever. The basic goal of each level is to get to the end, defeat a boss, then take a picture of yourself doing something cool to get into the GWAR Concert. There are many things you can do to complete each level, such as having Butthead jettison Beavis over obstacles to overcome them. For whatever reason, the Character your not controlling won't get hurt by obstacles.
Controls: 2/5
The Control Scheme is kind of annoying. Seriously, what kind of game makes you use X to run and B to jump? If you know your SNES Controller, you'll know that it would be annoying to do that.
Sound: 3/5
The Music is pretty good and sounds pleasant on the ears, but the Voice Clips sound awful. It boggles the mind, considering other SNES Games have Voice Clips that sound good. Anyway, more on the Music, it's mostly heavy metal, and if you like that kind of music, your in for a treat because, interestingly enough, 16 Bit and Heavy Metal mix well.
Overall: 4/5
This is an EXTREMELY fun game, but it's also really hard, so if you plan on playing it, get ready for a challenge.
Would I recommend it? Yes, I would, especially for people who love a challenge.
Screenshots:
This is ReddMcKnight, signing off!
Ah, the RPG...my favorite Genre. Among them, I have been playing the Dragon Warrior (Now known as Dragon Quest) for years now, and I've greatly enjoyed each one I've played. Anyway, this particular entry is about the first one in the series, Dragon Warrior.
You play the role of an unnamed Hero, who is the descendant of Erdrick, a Hero of the Past. Your goal is to recover the Orb of Light, and destroy the Dragon Lord. Sound easy? It's not!! 
You have to do all this stuff, like collect items, rescue a Princess, and kill a Golem-Like Monster before you can go and battle the Dragon Lord, but fear not, for it's damn good fun doing it all, and it's well worth your time, despite the high difficulty of it all.
So, why do this at all? Because it's fun. For more fun, here's some Trivia on the game:
-In Final Fantasy I for the NES, there is a Gravestone marked "Here Lies Erdrick". This exists because Square and Enix hadn't become one yet, and were rivals back then.
-There is a Remake for the Super Famicom and Game Boy Color.
-Erdrick is actually the Protagonist of Dragon Warrior III.
-An Episode of Captain N: The Game Master revolved around this game.
Also, if you look at Screenshots of the Japanese Version VS. the US Version, you'll see that some graphics were changed. Besides that, the Japanese Version used Passwords, and the US Version used Battery Backed-Up Saves.
That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed reading this entry!
Excuse the bad title, but I love the game I based that title off of. 
But seriously, I have been REALLY busy lately, but fear not, for I am still alive. (No pun intended).
So, what exactly have I been doing? Lots of freelance work and hanging out with friends. It's been pretty hectic, but I'm back now.
Now, onto gaming matters: I have been playing games from almost every generation, hence the title of this post. I started out with Punch-Out on the NES, and I played it using my power glove. My arm STILL hurts!
Next up, I decided to give the infamous Shaq-Fu for Genesis a try. Now, bear with me here, and please forgive me, but I did not think it was that bad. Now, it's not like it was Game of the Year, but it was decent.
What game next? Capcom's Aladdin for SNES. I know what your thinking, Movie games are crap, but NOT when Capcom makes them. This was one fun Platformer.
The next game on my list was Virtua Fighter Kids for the Saturn, and out of all the ones I played, this one was the worst. It felt unfinished for some reason, and neither me, or my friend could get into it.
Gamecube time! Metroid Prime 2 rules, and I'm actually still working on it! Here's hoping I get through it without much trouble!
PS3...I was playing Mass Effect 2, until I read about a Save Corruption Bug, so here I am, two weeks later, waiting for the freaking patch! Hurry up already!
Anyway, that's about it for now. Oh, and no Sprite Comic update yet. All this has kept me really busy. Next time for sure!
