Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones – Wii U (eShop)
Stealth Inc. 2 is an interesting mix of Metroid style platforming and Portal style puzzle solving. It’s a very interesting game and definitely worth the price point, but the Adventure Light really sucks.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles – Wii
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, the 2009 rail shooter, is the follow-up to 2007’s Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Can the “Darkside” improve the formula that made Umbrella Chronicles so good? Or will it fail to live up to the previous game? The answer is one click away!

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS – 3DS
Super Smash Bro. for 3DS is everything that a portable Super Smash Bros. should be and a worthy successor to the franchise, being more competitive than Brawl, but less hardcore than Melee. A shame about the online mode, though.

Resident Evil – GameCube
Lots of zombies were killed, some pants got wet, and blood curdling screams were heard (from the game?) all while Nerd Bacon.com and reviewer, Steroid Gamer, played the 2002 GameCube version of Resident Evil.

Wall Street Kid – NES
You could argue Wall Street is a necessary evil. The Wall Street Kid on the NES just argues it’s a necessity. Who thought this game was a good idea?

Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers – NES
Nerdbacon Contributor Earthboundmother retells her account of Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers for NES. Before Kingdom Hearts took on the PlayStation where blending and integrating characters from multiple developers and resources was the norm, this was one of the best titles in the Capcom/Disney union. Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers highlights both the Disney Afternoon and Capcom’s solid propensity for brilliance in the Platformer medium while at once ensuring that when one’s head hits the pillow at night, one does so realizing that the game is still afoot.

Metroid II: Return of Samus – Game Boy
Amongst the discussion between the original NES game and the SNES Super Metroid, the series’ second installment, a Game Boy exclusive, is often overlooked. Metroid II: Return of Samus was polarizing during its day and remains a point of contention. For instance I enjoy the many gameplay mechanics and complex layout, but I also find the limited graphics tiresome and dated. Good or bad? You’ll have to decide for yourself.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat – DS
When Mortal Kombat was at it’s peak during the mid-90’s, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was a popular arcade attraction. The game underwent many changes during its transition to home consoles, but 10 years later, an arcade-perfect port landed on the Nintendo DS known simply as Ultimate Mortal Kombat.

Turok Evolution – GameCube
The Turok series sees a fantastic update in Acclaim Entertainment’s first Turok release on the brand new and impressive 6th generation consoles. Turok: Evolution is a prequel to the first Turok: Dinosaur Hunter game with updated controls, graphics, and gameplay. While the story mode is still the bread and butter of the franchise, Turok: Evolution’s multiplayer mode makes excellent use of 13 maps and a 4-player split screen. The days of Turok 64 are long gone.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril – 3DS
Marvel has gotten a lot of exposure outside of comics for the past few years, and Lego has taken the time to put their unique, light-hearted spin on the Marvel Universe in Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril. With a familiar but updated “Lego style” and a roster of 150 characters, Universe in Peril is a must-have for handheld owners.

Super Mario Bros. 2 – NES
Nerd Bacon newcomer Earthboundmother reviews one of Mario’s oddest entries: Super Mario Bros. 2. When looking towards making a sequel to the smash hit original SMB, Nintendo decided what they had planned was too hard for American audiences, so instead they slapped some Mario paint on a game called Doki Doki Panic, and voila: Super Mario Bros. 2! Read on for an in-depth review from an experienced SMB2 player.
