They both look nearly the same to me.

Yeah for sure. Such a shame too because they did a great job in reviving Killer Instinct as well. It seemed like they were on a roll.
This is the thread of the year. Keep it going.
Play the first Ninja Gaiden. Play Deadly Towers. Play Adventures of Lolo! Play TMNT (the first). Play Nobunaga's Ambition.
YT yourself while playing them. Sort of like Cobain-Jesus not-so-angry video game manly hunk.
A couple of those games are indeed on my list. And dammit Steel, stop filling my head with ideas! Now I have to fucking do a video....
YT yourself playing them while in the bathtub, Robio.
If I start shooting in the bathtub again, I'm going to have to do a push-up or something first.
No, dad bods are in ( Thank God!)

#6. Monster Party: Quick Verdict - Probably not, but depends who you are
Monster Party is a great NES title that flew under a lot of people's radar when it first came out. It's the story of a monster that teams up with an average baseball bat toting kid as they travel through the Dark World to destroy an evil something or rather. There's a lot to like here. Each level as 2 or 3 boss battles that are as imaginative as anything from the NES days. You'll fight classic monsters like Grim Reapers and Medusa, Eastern monsters like ghost samuarai, and really weird stuff, like giant cows that attack with smaller cows, and a giant fried shrimp. The bosses aren't the only impressive monsters. Even the average ones walking around making your trip difficult are really creepy and well designed too. The levels, particularly the early ones, are also done with a great deal of care of do a great job of getting the horror/monster theme across.
As good as the aesthetics are for an 8-bit game, it doesn't really carry over to be a great game today. The controls were decent enough for the time, but are definitely substandard now. The level design often favor aesthetics over clarity, and at things you'll have trouble figuring out if the object in front of you is something you can jump on, something that will hurt you, or just a background tile. So, while there is a lot of stuff to like, I can't quite recommend it to the average gamer. However, if you're a sucker for good horror monsters, this might be worth giving the game 20 or 30 minutes of your time just to see how weird and bizarre the developers got with the theme.
Also, just as a fun note, I'm trying to turn this into a video series. I'm trying to make a video for Monster Party, while learning how to do everything at the same time. So far it's slow going, and it doesn't look as good as I conceptualized in my head, but I'm going to follow through so I at least have one before I say "no more" and just stick with writing.
Do you own all of these old games? If not, how do you have access to them?
I figure he's using an emulator on the Wii Homebrew Channel.
Raven gets the answer in one try!
Not sure if it would work on a the Wii Mini (assuming that's the red one you're talking about). But yeah I went ahead and rehacked it. The kid doesn't touch it anymore now that he's glued to LBP and Minecraft on the PS3, and anytime I play a Wii game I play it on the Wii U now. So now the Wii has the Homebrew Channel, is hooked up to a large SDTV and has become my retro gaming device.
Nah, I have the Super Mario Bros 25th Anniversary edition Wii.
All right, I'm going to have to step this up. Unfortunately I now have about 3 weeks to do this in, as opposed to the entire summer as I initially planned. Due to the home/roof repairs I'm taking a weekend job at Best Buy selling computers. Not the worst job in the world, but it's going to suck up a big chunk of my weekend once July starts. Oh well, let's see what I can get done.
I actually played that version now that I think about it. Can't remember much about it, but I'm sure I shook my head at the graphics.
