It may sound kind of odd, but what I always took away from StarTropics was the control. It took me a second to get the hang of it. As being stuck to a grid was a game mechanic I have never played before. But since the game was designed around it makes so much sense. I find it more enjoyable because of it. |

Well, also Mario 64 but that was because of my cartridge was glitched... StarTropics was the one game I called them because I was actually stuck in it. So it's notable for that in my memories. As an NES game in general it's notable for being the only NES game developed by Nintendo themselves that didn't get a japanese release at all (I think... oh and the sequel of course... correct me if I'm wrong). There's also the Nintendo version of Tetris, but they got another version so I don't count that :P It's one of my favorite NES games actually. If I managed to be able to make a top 10 for the system, it would be in there. Amazing music, I liked the storyline and setting, badass gameplay... there's nothing really wrong about it. Sad that Zoda's Revenge didn't live up to the first AT ALL, it's terrible in comparison. I'll definitely play through this soon for the VGConnect :P --- End quote --- I liked hearing the Nintendo Help Line story. I never called but always remember the advertisements and such. It's a long gone era from before the internet. It brings back memories similar to the Official Nintendo forums with people like NOA Andy. I didn't know that it did not get a Japanese release. Interesting. Your and mascozine's comments have me interested about the controls. I don't remember them too well. I am looking forward to the game! |

I have never played this game. I put if in to see if it worked, but I've never played it. This is going to be a good test to see if these NES games are actually good or if I'm blinded by nostalgia. |

Eventually I want to get both on NES, all I have is Startropics on Wii VC right now. --- End quote --- Agreed. ZR had a good thing going, but it seemed more linear than Star Tropics I. I'm honestly surprised that Nintendo doesn't have any plans on re-hashing the series. It's coming up on its 25th here in 2 years. |

Nintendo hasn't done anything with the series in nearly that long. The games didn't even get released in Japan, so they probably don't care about it. |
