any other questions?

I don't personally know the answer, but can you name all the Nintendo-licensed games on non-Nintendo systems?

Tman · « **Reply #28 on:** March 28, 2003, 03:20:28 PM »

Atari 2600 version of DK, 3 CD-i Zelda titles. Thats all I can think of.

Ace · « **Reply #29 on:** March 28, 2003, 07:13:40 PM »

Yep, thats all of them. It's actually amazing how many iterations of that little system nintendo fans have gone through. I really didn't consider the Wide Boy/ Advance to be one of them seeing as they cannot be purchased by comsumers

Hey Tman, you totally forgot the old mario bros. game, mario hotel, mario is missing, learn to type with mario, mario's time machine mario fun with numbers, and mario fun with letters. Actually I'm not sure if those are the exact names but I'm pretty sure

Tman · « **Reply #31 on:** March 28, 2003, 08:04:32 PM »

the only nintendo game on a non nintendo system I had was the 2600 version of DK.

FX games:
Citadel, Star Fox, Stunt Race FX, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and...oh crap, there was some bike racing game, but I can't remember the title now.

All I remember is that it used sprites on 3-D backgrounds.

I believe they were called hanafuda, but I think that just means "Japanese playing cards." Was it something like "matching flowers?" Dates back to 1889.

Nintendo did make Disney playing cards back in 1959, though.

gameboy, gameboy pocket, super gameboy, gameboy light, gameboy color, transfer pack, gameboy advance, gameboy advance sp, gamecube gameboy player, do think that is it. That is the order anyway.

ThePerm · « **Reply #39 on:** May 05, 2003, 08:24:02 PM »

ok, how old are these people?
Hiroshi Yamauchi, Minoru Arawaka, Howard Lincoln, Peter Main, Peter Mcdowell, Perin Kapplan, Shigeru Miyamoto, Koji Kondo?

Well, Shigeru Miyamoto is a god, so he's infinitely old...

I think Old Man Yamauchi is in his early 70s... but damn, evil question!

thats pretty good couchmonkey!
here is what you listed: Citadel, Star Fox, Stunt Race FX, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and...oh crap, there was some bike racing game, but I can't remember the title now. All I remember is that it used sprites on 3-D backgrounds.

that makes 4....now there is Doom for snes that uses the fx chip as well....
and the bike racer you're thinking of was Dirt Trax Fx! when this game was previewed in
Nintendo Power back in the early 90s, I was watching this game like a hawk...
the graphics were simply amazing IHO, and the game looked like it would play like a dream...
so I waited and waited YEARS for this game, and after waiting so long I just about forgot about the game
until one day my friend picked in up in bargain bin at kbtoys...and I finally got to play it
it was just as I thought it might be....awesome in all aspects! - graphics, gameplay, multiplayer xtras, etc
so citadel, starfox, stunt race fx, super mario world 2:yoshis island, doom, and dirt trax fx!
if anyone knows any more games that used the fx/fx 2 chip...feel free to post it up

These are the SFX-2 games that I found:

PowerSlide (Elite)
Doom (Id)
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (Nintendo)
Winter Gold (?)
4x4 Racer (Elite)
StarFox 2 (Nintendo)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (Capcom)
Comanche (Nintendo)
Transformers (Argonaut)
FX Fighter (Nintendo)
Dirt Racer SFX (Elite)
Dirt Trax FX (Electro Brain)

joeamis · « **Reply #43 on:** May 08, 2003, 05:02:34 PM »

yea thats a good list,,, but starfox 2, comanche, and fx fighter were all cancelled,,,drat and those were
the ones i was looking forward to the most back in the day....
starfox 2 became starfox 64, comanche died entirely (the pc versions series started earlier), and fx fighter was released for the PC...it was an okay fighter for its time... however i can remember the gameplay being slow and cumbersome to control.
i can't believe SFA2 used the fx chip wow... and i've never seen transformers released anywhere, how is it, is it any good?

i wonder what the fx chips really did? does anyone know? was it just like the expansion pack for nintendo 64...simply more memory? i mean they could've probably just released something (like the expansion pack for n64) but then again how well would that have flied in the console era of the early 90s... and i think when they made starfox they didn't take into account that many other games would use the fx chip, so they just threw it in the cartridge itself... does anyone know??

edit*** Streetfighter Alpha 2 using the Fx chip makes me think it simply was just extra memory because they needed it for all the frames of animation, but then you think to yourself... they could've just made a larger megabit cartridge so that really makes my thought of the fx chip being for memory completely wrong...damn

Myxtika1 Azn · « **Reply #44 on:** May 09, 2003, 10:08:49 PM »

Star Fox 2 is not really that similar to Star Fox 64. I heard that there's a rom dump of it on the web somewhere.

As for what the SFX chip might be, I read somewhere that the cartridge contains a reduced/simplified version of the SNES cpu. I'm not sure if that's true though. The SFX-2 games just has two SFX chips inside the cartridge.

I'm not sure if that all made sense, but it's late, so oh wellz....

Later!
