This is a remake of Super Mario Bros. (which was an NES game) on the Game Boy Color.

Released on January 31, 2000 on the PSone, Marvel vs. Capcom was the next step from Marvel vs. Street fighter. While some features were toned down for the PlayStation release, it still remains a great, competent 2D fighter. The first of the magnificent 3 Marvel Vs. Capcom titles.

If I told you that Square, the company who owns all of its' fame to Final Fantasy (with characteristically slow gameplay and the fact that they've always paid far more attention to the plotlines and looks of the games rather than how they actually play) developed one of the most unique shoot em ups to ...

Rayman 2 is a 3d platformer, and a good one. The visuals are cool, the music is great, and the platforming is as good as it gets. Rayman 2 also boasts of a hoard of robot pirates to fight, which isn't something that you can say about many games.
