Tetris in name only
0 of 1 found this helpful If you love Tetris, prepare for disappointment. Tetris 2 is a bad game and it doesn’t need to exist.
Tetris 2 is actually plays just like Dr. Mario, minus the charm that series has. Instead of clearing horizontal lines, you need to match up station color blocks in order to clear the stage. Despite not being a Tetris game at all, Nintendo couldn’t even nail down a good aesthetic, using a fuzzy, chalkboard look that comes off as cheap and uninspired. Fitting, huh?
With “Tetris & Dr. Mario” available on the SNES, Tetris 2 is irrelevant. You can play either game as well as play them against one another, and the controls are as precise as they were on the NES. Tetris 2 lacks character, polish, and a purpose in this world.

Two great puzzle games from yesteryear
1 of 1 found this helpful Dr. Mario and Tetris are best known as NES games, cementing them in pop culture as those games you had to play. But if you missed out on them on their first go on Nintendo’s home console, the SNES ports do them more than enough justice.
Although the sound chips and graphics are different, each game is well translated to the new hardware, keeping those familiar songs intact. Best of all, you play Tetris Vs. Dr Mario, making for a weird mashup that is weirdly enjoyable.
For about $20, this is a steal. It might be bare bones compared to other SNES titles, but what you get are three fantastic game modes with endless fun to be had.

A solid system a generation behind
1 of 1 found this helpful Many consider the Wii U a failure as it failed to capitalize on the success of its predecessor and (despite years lead) fell behind its competition. However, little of that matters when all I want is to play a few Nintendo games for a good price.
The system was in excellent condition and I could hardly tell it was used before (except for the Wii data that was hidden away on the system). The interface and gamepad are a little clunky but the overall satisfaction is high. Access to plenty of classic games, Wii, Wii U and more is a good incentive, as is the ability to play many games using just the gamepad screen.
The major downsides of the Wii U are the archaic network setup (buying games, accessing your NNID if, god forbid, it was made on another system) and third party support. Aside from a few first party titles like Mario Maker, it is hard to see the draw for most people, especially with a new system (the Nintendo Switch) around the corner. However, for my money, it is worth throwing a few hundred down to get access to the games I want to play and to keep any Wii purchases from feeling completely obsolete.
Who knows; maybe the next system won't support touch, making games like Mario Maker a thing of the past.
