Nothing special released this month; Bases Loaded was an ok baseball game that slightly improved the graphics, so I'll give the edge to them on this one.

Metal Gear made it's first release, but it was a weird game to get used to, and there's debate as to if it should be included in the metal gear series. But, the clear standout game in this month was Double Dragon. This was the original in one of the best arcade-to-console adaptations...

City Connection or Rambo. Rambo was better only because City Connection was another side-scrolling shooter game we have probably at least 15 selections of that by now. Rambo was just Zelda II side-scrolling though, but remember, Zelda II hadn't been released yet, SO this was model for...

We had the sequel to Ikari Warriors, and it was pretty much the same thing with some shops for upgrading, which was a good improvement, but honestly I'd probably go with Major League Baseball as the best game of the month. I could be partial as I owned the game growing up, but it felt like a...

No special games released. We had an Ice Hockey game, which was ok at the time, and Dragon Power was saturated with unnecessary in-game dialogues that detracted from gameplay. I'd probably go with Ice Hockey as the better game.

The real standout of this month was Contra. Let me tell you, if you try to beat this game fairly, you will have a heck of a challenge on your hands. I couldn't get past the second boss until I discovered the 30 lives code, then it was extremely easy.

Street Fighter II Turbo has been voted into the reviews early, thus it has been added; there may be more commentary on a future update.
Aside from this, January 1988 saw the release of Karnov and Renegade, and honestly, I couldn't really decide which was better. Renegade was released before...

One of Capcom's signature characters, MegaMan was born this month, and he quickly became a hit with the Nintendo fans. Honestly I would venture to say either MegaMan 2 or the first SNES were the best, but this is the original, so you have to give it credit for kickstarting this series.

This was a weird month. I think many were expecting Super Pitfall to be the smash hit, but it turned out to be The Goonies II. That game was a great story-like game with a maze-like feel, and a soudntrack that sort of sounded like 8-bit Goonies, and I could not put this game down....

In this month, we got one of the best NES games of all-time: Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! A very simple game, but still challenging nonetheless. The only other game worth mentioning here is Rad Racer, a simple racing game that was a decent play, but you certainly need to try Punch-Out...
