Let's face it: we all love the DS, but if it wasn't for the handhelds of yesteryear, we wouldn't be enjoying the dual-screened bliss we do on a regular basis. Instead, our reality would be dark and cold, our fear of what is right in front of us only challenged by our incredible lack of knowing what is right in front of us. It would probably lead us to suicide.But, lo and behold, the passage of time flowed in favor of Nintendo, as the Game Boy lead to the Game Boy Advance and the Game Boy Advance lead to
Well, now is the time to rustle up those nostalgic memories you have pattering around your noggin. The games are:
- Rolan's Curse 2
- Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
- Mole Mania
- Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
- Mega Man V
- Kirby's Dreamland 2
- Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land

Unrelated, but when did you guys change the banner to include a DS Lite instead of a regular DS?
And why a black one?

Just yesterday, actually, and black fits the color scheme better, wouldn't you say?

Yeah, I have to agree.
Before, I was thinking that since white is the "original" color of the DS Lite, and to keep the two Nintendo Fanboy sites consistent, it might be better to use a white DS Lite.
But if I look at DS Fanboy, it has a gray background, and a black bar right above the banner, which is the opposite of Wii Fanboy's color scheme. So in that sense, using a black DS Lite looks better.
Oh, hey, I just noticed...Why doesn't Wii Fanboy have a "Joystiq presents" thing?

it technically, does, actually, they just don't use a graphic for it. you can still click in the empty space to jump back to Joystiq

Wii Fanboy is the rebel blog. We do not accept our overlord's control. :D

I played Kirby's Dreamland 2 and Wario Land to death. I perfect both of them. I got a castle on the mood in Wario Land. :P

WoooooOO Wario Land! I played a lot of super mario land 1-3. Must admit that I don't have any of the others on the list (wouldn't mind more kirby though).

Mole Mania has long been a favorite of mine, way back to the GB Pocket days. Thanks for giving it a little love.

I loved Rolans Curse 2, way better than the first game in the series. The multiple playable characters were awesome.

Ah, Dreamland 2, I used to have that game, so much fun and it was real difficult to get to the real last boss. Love me some Tetris Attack as well.

Love Wario Land and played it to death back in the day (never got the best castle, though). It's the game that made me a fan of Wario, and one of the reasons I want to see Game Boy games on Virtual Console.

Loved Mario Land 2. Childhood memories of playing video games mostly go to that one.

....Wow, I actually own/beat all of those :3
My copy of Mole Mania was played second most recently, with Myths and Monsters being played most recently for some extra face-time with Pit before the Brawling began...
...So where's my playable Muddy Mole in Smash Bros, hmm?
