SNES A Day 47: Contra III: The Alien Wars
Approximate Release Date: April 6, 1992
Genre: Action
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
It’s incredible that Konami was able to release Contra III: The Alien Wars and Super Castlevania IV, two of the best early Super Nintendo games, so close together.
SNES A Day 46: Super Adventure Island
Approximate Release Date: April 1, 1992
Genre: Platformer
Developer: Hudson Soft
Publisher: Hudson Soft
Super Adventure Island would feel like an evolutionary dead-end for the platformer genre if it weren’t for the recent resurgence of endless runners for cell phones.
It is the Archaeopteryx to Canabalt‘s pigeon.
SNES A Day 45: Raiden Trad
Approximate Release Date: April 1, 1992
Genre: Scrolling shooter
Developer: Micronics/Toei Company
Publisher: Electro Brain
For a bit, I was convinced that Raiden Trad would be a good scrolling shooter for beginners to the genre.
And then I died.
SNES A Day 44: Extra Innings
Approximate Release Date: March 20, 1992
Genre: Baseball simulation
Developer: Sony Imagesoft
Publisher: Sony Imagesoft
Extra Innings‘ distinguishing feature is that it’s the best-looking baseball game so far on the Super Nintendo.
That’s it.
SNES A Day 43: The Addams Family
Approximate Release Date: March 10, 1992
Genre: Platformer
Developer: Ocean Software
Publisher: Ocean Software
The Addams Family screws up the one thing that any adaptation of the movie of the television sitcom needs to get correct: The rendition of the theme song is terrible.
SNES A Day 42: Smart Ball
Approximate Release Date: March 1, 1992
Genre: Action/platformer
Developer: Game Freak/System Sacom
Publisher: Sony Imagesoft
Smart Ball is adorable. That’s not surprising since Game Freak, the developers of Pokémon, were involved in its creation.
