This week me and the wife are having a blast with good ol' Street Fighter Collection (Saturn). We're having a tournament week and she's pwning me, as usual.

LOL -- so I'm not the only one who's wife pwns them at games. Luckly fighting and FPS are the primary ones I can beat her at. She nails me on puzzle and sports games.

Yeah, she totally destroys me at fighting/puzzles and Sega Tennis 2k2

On the other hand I can pwn her in any Bomberman game with my eyes closed, to the point of her deciding Bomberman is "boring". Any game becomes automagically "boring" if she keeps losing to me

(And if I keep winning, I'm "cheating". Wives. Gotta love 'em).

I haven't played Bomberman with my wife in a while, but I'm pretty sure she was good at that too.
Worms Armegeddon was usually a pretty close and heated battle.

Hmm, not really. It was still being sold - just because it was dirt cheap and well, we do have a lot of poor people in Brazil - but very far from "dominating" the scene.

The PS1 was king in the late 90s, and many, many folks had N64s and Saturns. All the other Sega/Nintendo consoles - all the way back to the Master System - were still being sold in stores at the same time, but you just bought them if you couldn't afford the newer ones.

Yeah, i guess dominate was a poor choice of words. But it's still fascinating to me that the SMS was dead here so fast and succeeded in other markets. I loved SMS and still play it a lot. I wasn't under the illusion that 16 and 32 bit consoles never made it there. Did Game Gear do well there because of easy ports?

I guess to keep in touch with this thread I'm playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Shining Force III on Saturn right now and I played NES Contra this weekend.

Nope, portables were never widely successful down here. I'm not sure why.

Super Metroid....got stuck after getting the jump boots for two years!

Even though I had to go online and read a faq, ...I never read faqs unless I am totally stuck, I figured over a year is officially FAQ time, I had to blow up a hidden passage way to continue...great game design nintendo

Im giving it one more chance, and hopefully it will only take 5 more years to beat.
