It looks as if they may have recycled the FF1, 2, and 3 tilesets on a couple of those. Titanic looks like it may be an incredibly well-done Rocketeer hack. Quite impressive.

I actually have that Mario cartridge, bought it along with an old Genny when I was in China back in 2005. I still haven't tried to find an adapter that will let it work off of our "cooler" electricity, but yeah, if anybody thought to themselves "maybe that will be good" no its not. One thing, obviously they agreed with the rest of us that its a shame Kuribo's shoe only shows up in one stage, its used more extensively in that game ;)

That LotR fighter better have combo breakers, or Legolas is invincible.

Win2000 is the best! But also great how the Dead or Alive-game turns out to be a run-of-the-mill strip-MahJong-game that has nothing to do with DoA except having Kasumi on the cartridge. And too bad they couldn't test the NES version of DDR, because you need the special controller for this (wonder how that looks like...). Especially considering the staggering three song soundtrack.

The best one is Top Fighters 2005. A fighting game with Ryu, Gohan from DBZ, Muhammed Ali, Michael Jordan, and Antoine Walker. It even has a screenshot of Muhammed Ali knocking out Antoine Walker. Best. Game. Ever.

@Guizzy: I agree. Maybe one day they will. Can't blame them for using pre-existing IP though, it's the only way they'll get any recognition.

That and China hasn't quite grasped the concept of not ripping off other stuff.

@toneroni: True.

They seem very resourceful. Give 'em a legitimate SDK, a few artists to work on ORIGINAL art, and they might be able to crank out some half decent games!

Dear sweet mother of god. They ported WINDOWS 2000 to FAMICOM.

Well, ok, it may just be solitaire and a few other things to make it LOOK like Windows, but according to them it's FRIGGIN WINDOWS 2000! Made by Bravesoft, apparently.
