Streets of Rage Sunday: "Final Crash" Shiva Move

Hey folks! So right now in the United Kingdom it is coming up to 8am. I have been up since around 6am (body clock lol) So I decided to play this Streets of Rage.

Here is a screenshot of the game. I am playing a survival mode type deal using Shiva from Streets of Rage 2. I took the pic with a camera whilst playing and the picture has an interesting look into the framework of Shiva's Final Crash move.

Shot of the early frame in the move

Blur effect showing multiple frames in the move.

I thought this was quite a unique look and a good capture of one of the most nostalgic moves in Shiva's unique arsenal of fighting moves.

New Game Day: Super Mario Bros 3

As gamers know, there's one thing that can make us go into a child like state of mind....It's new game day! 

So today I got a Nintendo Entertainment System game, Super Mario Bros 3. It is one of the best games on the NES and one of my fondest childhood memories.

I ordered it off of Ebay a few days ago. It is only the cart but never mind, I did get it for quite a low price for what nostalgia this awesome Mario game brings to the table,

Here is a look at Super Mario Bros 3. Enjoy!

Hardest Boss Battles: Dragon Lair

Thinking back and thinking about just how hard some of the bosses were back in the day on consoles like the NES and Mega Drive, leaves me unfufilled with modern day gaming. There is way too much focus on graphics than the more important aspect, gaming.

Here is a good example of a quite difficult battle against a dragon in a NES game called Dragon Lair,You will notice it is just a projectile fest kind of a boss battle! Enjoy!

NES Longplays: Castlevania

Hardest Boss Battes: TMNT Bosses.

Pure hatred for the boss battles

The NES game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle was in my eyes, a pretty solid title when it came to boss fights. It was one of those games where you know you were in quite a firece battle as soon as the music changed. A lot of others have also expressed hatred when it comes to the difficulty of the fights.

Here's a collection of the boss battles in the game.

Hardest Boss Battles: Shadow Queen

Shadow Queen From Super Paper Mario 2 

As most people who have played Paper Mario 2 know that this game is one of the most difficult Mario games out there. Then there's the shadow queen. This boss is one heck of a fight, you have to pretty much do exactly the right attacks to bring her down along with button combinations to preform, there's a lot going on in this battle

Take a look at this video of the battle in question

GameBoy Advance Longplays: Super Mario Bros 3

The first time I played this awesome and in my opinion, best Super Mario game was on the Nintendo Entertainment System. After playing Super Mario Bros 2, I needed something more, then Super Mario 3 came out and my mind was blown by the graphics, addictive game play and non stop fun!

I was even an awesome game on the Game Boy, and why wouldn't it be? You get to play Super Mario Bros 3 where ever you want! Awesome!!!

Hardest Boss Battles: Shiva (SOR2)

This is Shiva. 

He is the second to last boss in Streets of Rage 2.

Although he is the battle before the main boss, the fight with Shiva is an intense and long one! He is quick and lightning fast, attacking quickly and suddenly, countering most of your moves with a spinning kick, booting you in the face out of no where, just generally a pain....but one of the most awesome pains of a boss battle ever!
