Advantages: Underrated Mario gem Disadvantages: You've probably already got it
I was a bit hesistant about buying this, seeing as it's a remake of a game I've owned for about ninety years (or thereabouts), but I shouldn't have worried. I've been playing it as my handheld game of choice for a couple of weeks now and I'm still enjoying it.
All the quality and charm of the original NES adventure Super Mario Bros 2 is present and correct, and like all of the original Mario games, time has been kind to it. It's still as fun as it was in 1983 (Pointless Fact: It's as old as me!) To add extra sweetness to the mix though, the game has been tweaked and adapted to fit its new home on the Gameboy Advance, so we're now treated to new extra large enemies, items and power-ups, plus new bosses and animation.

With the TS9 you can get a light blues overdrive to hard driven rock! Go and buy one!! ...

Now though, it's reality (Sonic on a Nintendo game, not the beating up story). Sonic has come out for the most hallowed of Consoles, The GameBoy Advance.
~ What?s it all about (Alfie) ~
Before Sonic, the now world famous Hedgehog, SEGA fans had to put up with people like Michael Jackson on the front of their SEGA boxes. Not cool. Not cool at all?
It was hard enough for Sega to start with. Nintendo had a lot of die-hard fans built up and all SEGA had was a 16-bit console and loads of money. One of the ways Nintendo had got so many fans was through there mascot, the ever popular, Mario, and, occasionally, his brother ...
