The Jungle Book – Super Nintendo

Mario Party 3 – N64
If you’ve read my reviews on the original game and its sequel, you know that the steep drop in enjoyability left me less than enthusiastic about revisiting Mario Party 3 for a closer look. If you haven’t read them, I’d suggest doing so as I’m reviewing all 11 titles for comparison and contrast. As it turns out, I like this game just a little bit more than Mario Party 2, but for the most part I think it simply tones down the annoyances of the previous game without adding anything substantially unique or amounting to much more than an expansion pack. In fact one of the major additions, Game Guy, proved so unpopular that it would never be seen again.

Platform: NES Release Date (NA): October 1990 Developer: Nintendo Genre: Puzzle Rating: 8.5 out of 10 Most people tend to point to Tetris as the epitome of puzzle gaming during the late 8-bit era, but Dr. Mario gets my vote without hesitation.

Mario Party – N64
I wish I’d been lucky enough to own Mario Party back when I was 14 in 1999. Here is where it all started, one of the longest enduring spin-offs in video game history.
Yoshi’s Story – N64
Yoshi’s Story is more or less the sequel to Yoshi’s Island, which itself was really Super Mario World 2, so in weird sort of way this is actually Super Mario World 3 but without any Mario.
