Two games this week involve things being
thundery, at least in terms of title. Of course, neither
Gate of Thunder nor
Rolling Thunder 2 has much to do with actual
thunder --
Rolling Thunder 2 is about dudes shooting guns at each other, and
Gate of Thunder is about spaceships shooting space guns at each other.
Pokémon Snap we've already discussed. It's really easy, but surprisingly fun for a
Nintendo 64 game Pokémon spinoff game, and with added functionality that will let you bug the hell out of your Wii friends with annoying spam.
What should have been the biggest news on the list -- a
Kunio game -- is instead
not. When
Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari came out, we feared we were mistaken and that it was actually
Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku Daiundokai, a street-Olympics game that predated the game known as
Crash 'n the Boys Street Challenge. Well, this week, it actually
is Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku Daiundokai. So, uh, yeah.
