Battletoads Double Dragon: A Dream Team of Heroes!
First up is Battletoads Double Dragon, a stellar crossover beat-’em-up that was unleashed by the iconic studio Rare in 1993. Picture this: the legendary warriors Billy and Jimmy Lee team up with the toad-tastic trio—Zitz, Rash, and Pimple—to battle the evil Dark Queen and Shadow Boss.
“Tussle with terrific twins Billy and Jimmy Lee as they team up with Zitz, Rash and Pimple to defend the Earth!” – Nintendo
This isn’t just any beat-’em-up; it’s an exhilarating ride where you leap from the Battlecopter to confront menacing foes aboard the Colossus spaceship. With an arsenal that includes Smash Hits and Dragon Force Techniques, you’ll unleash combos of kicks, punches, and throws! Bring your A-game because you’ll also need your driving skills to zoom through on the Speeder Bike and high-speed Space Pod. Who’s ready to save the world?
Big Run: Racing Through African Landscapes
Next in line is Big Run, a thrilling racing experience that initially revved up for the Super Famicom back in 1991. You’ll race across Africa, from Tripoli to Dakar, navigating through nine stages of intense competition.
But here’s the twist: victory isn’t just about speed! You’ll pick a sponsor, hire crew members, and maintain your vehicle by replacing tires and engines as they wear out. It’s a thrilling blend of strategy and skill—can you master the challenges ahead and claim the glory of victory?
Cosmo Gang the Puzzle: The Challenge Awaits!
Let’s not forget about Cosmo Gang the Puzzle, a captivating action puzzle game that hit the Super Famicom in 1993. In this game, you’re tasked with tackling falling-block puzzles across three exciting modes.
Do you have what it takes to clear blocks and score high in 1P Mode? Want to challenge your friends in VS Mode? Or how about testing your skills in the 100 Stage Mode? Combine strategy with quick thinking to remove containers and Cosmos that fall from the screen. Try to create combos by clearing both types simultaneously! It’s brain-teasing fun that’s sure to keep you coming back for more.
Kunio-kun no Dodgeball: Enter the Championship!
Lastly, we have Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō!, making its way to the Super Famicom, courtesy of Technōs Japan in 1993. Known as the River City series outside Japan, this sports game invites you to the dodgeball court with Kunio-kun leading the charge.
Face off against international teams, showcase your incredible dodgeball skills, and use various moves to outsmart your opponents.
