Oh man, you know the one I’m talking about! It’s that iconic intro with Claire Redfield making a run for it as a helicopter is blasting away at everything around her, sending glass flying everywhere. Seriously, a classic moment!
If you didn’t play this game when it first came out, it introduced some really new ideas for its time. You could hack computers, experience a story that changed based on your choices, take damage to specific body parts, disarm enemies up close, and battle genetically modified mutants – all pretty groundbreaking stuff back then.
Before the Nintendo 64 became a hit, another innovative game starring Mario proved how versatile the character could be. Released in Japan on March 9, 1996, and in North America a few months later, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars combined the classic platforming gameplay with the style of role-playing games from Square. Though not as well-known as another Mario title released that same year, Super Mario RPG was a significant step forward for the Nintendo franchise.
Many Spider-Man fans consider the “Clone Saga” to be the biggest misstep in the comic’s history, even more so than the more recent “One More Day” storyline. It severely damaged the Spider-Man comics for years, which was particularly shocking given how well they were selling beforehand. Having read the series when it originally came out, I think it’s actually not as bad as its reputation suggests. While it definitely has flaws, revisiting the issues reveals it wasn’t consistently terrible – in fact, it was genuinely good at times throughout its lengthy run.

What are we expecting from the announcement? It’s likely to include extra content – things like unlockable items and small additions – for either the fun Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered or the somewhat imperfect Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered.
The Super Smash Bros. series is a fantastic example of innovation in the fighting game genre. The original game was a surprise success on the Nintendo 64, and Super Smash Bros. Melee continues to be popular with professional gamers. While Super Smash Bros. Ultimate felt like the series’ high point for many, Super Smash Bros. Brawl – released in North America on March 9, 2008 – is arguably the best game in the series and a nearly flawless fighting game experience.
