"Bring out the party favors and blow up the balloons, Mario has once again decided to party hearty in this follow-up to 1998's video board game filled with mini-games. Mario Party 2 retains the same six characters and gameplay as its predecessor while offering new graphics, new mini-games and additional elements not found in the original. As with any party, certain guests didn't quite make the list, and all the mini-games that featured rapidly spinning the analog stick in a circular motion didn't receive an invitation to return. Nonetheless, a total of 64 mini-games are available on the 256-Meg cart, 44 of which are completely new. Some of these new games involve grabbing cakes speeding down a conveyor belt (Cake Factory), pounding totem poles into the ground (Totem Pole Pound), and sneaking past a sleeping Chain Chomp on your way to the exit (Sneak 'n' Snore)!"--AllGame guide.

Whimsical graphics - Deceptively simple gameplay - Sharply drawn character personalities - Strong elements of nonlinear strategic gameplay - From the mind of Shigeru Miyamoto.

"The day after his 21st birthday bash, Conker's sporting the worst hangover ever, and he just can't seem to find his way home. Prepare to stagger through randy, raunchy, raucous scenarios crammed full of bad manners, twisted humor, and graphic bodily functions. Unless you're a fan of violence, foul language, and racy innuendo, you'd best steer clear of this one."--Container.

"Disney's Beauty and the Beast: A Board Game Adventure has three levels of play, a total of seven game boards to choose from and two different types of games. The first is an adventure-style game where you play as Belle. You must beat Gaston to the castle to warn the Beast. The second is a traditional board game for up to four players. Each player must choose a character, and the first person to reach the end wins. Along the way in both games you will have to play mini-games (ten in all), which can either add to the number of spaces you'll be able to move or subtract from them. It all depends on your skill!."--All game guide.

Through dual-screen display and touch-screen controls, players follow the adventure of a brave young prince in exile, and lead a small team of heroes in turn-based battles of magic and metal across grid-lined battlefields. Different characters of different classes have different strengths and weaknesses in their speed, attacks, and defense, leading to fresh and engaging tactical considerations in each new battle. Shadow Dragon is the first Fire Emblem game for DS, and includes tutorial levels and additional content that adds depth to the characters and settings of the original game's story. It is also the first Fire Emblem game to support online multiplayer combat, through a DS wireless connection to broadband Internet. As an introduction to the series thus, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon offers multiple difficulty settings and plenty of backstory, designed to support to veteran players as well as newcomers to the series."--All game guide.

"Battle enemies, earn new abilities, and explore over 20 levels of traditional 2D platforming in Wario Land for the Game Boy Advance. Though his goody-goody counterpart Mario has played the classic hero in countless console releases, the complex and brooding Wario seems to have found his niche on the smaller screens of various Game Boy releases throughout the years. This trend continues as the crusty antihero embarks upon this new adventure developed specifically for the 32-bit Nintendo handheld. Unlike earlier games, Wario is not invincible in this adventure and the action now requires attention to self-preservation as well as exploration, with the character gathering heart icons to replenish his health. By collecting the many treasures hidden along the way, Wario can also purchase new items to aid him on his journeys. Different situations may call for Wario to become extra-heavy, inflated and light, thin as a pancake, or to undergo other strange transformations in order to access remote areas and collect every last bit of treasure."--AllGame guide.

"Perfect Dark thrusts gamers into a futuristic world run by an evil corporation called dataDyne. As a field agent for the Carrington Institute, you will embark on a series of missions that begins with a mysterious kidnapping and culminates in an intergalactic conflict between two alien races. The game takes place in the year 2023, a time of despair. Animals are being mutilated, people are being abducted at alarming rates, and the planet seems to have become one giant playground for forces unknown. These events have not gone unnoticed by the Carrington Institute. Led by the benevolent Daniel Carrington, the institute was created in order to research and develop new technologies for the greater good of mankind. That's not all they do, however. The Carrington Institute takes it upon itself to investigate certain actions that threaten society, and Daniel believes dataDyne may be responsible for many of the world's problems. To that end, he has assigned his best agent to investigate: Joanna "Perfect" Dark. (The "Perfect" comes from her stellar test scores as an agent-in-training.)"--All game guide.

"With its nonlinear action, tight controls, large areas to explore and familiar gameplay, Metroid II: Return of Samus will please fans of the classic NES title. The popular Samus Aran has returned, but this time she's on planet SR388 --- home of the Metroids. Her mission is to seek out and destroy 39 of the creatures, each of which acts as an entry point to another area. Samus has a number of new weapons at her disposal, including the spring ball, which lets her jump while curled into a ball, and the spider ball, which lets her climb on walls. In addition, level progression can now be saved via battery backup-up, eliminating the old password system. The backgrounds are more detailed and Samus looks great, but there are fewer hidden secrets in this game than there are in the original."--All game guide.
