Hey yo. I’ve been hit by a common-cold to headache to insomnia combo attack recently that has impaired me somewhat. I’m not at a hundred percent yet, but I am feeling much better and much more hospitable. Which means I can rant again. So here we are.

(2014 Update: The following post originally featured Hulk Hogan inadvertantly gave away spoilers for taped editions of Impact Wrestling. The video in question has since been removed, so in its place, I posted another Bite commentary, along with a couple additional bits that were posted days later, but weren’t long enough to merit their own individual posts. As per the case, any modern reflections is added in bold)
Hello, young whippersnappers. I’m back after a busy couple of weeks. I assure you, however, that the tardiness of this commentary has nothing to do with the virus going around… but it’s the hottest thing since the east coast power blackout!!! Which means it’s not hot at all, but it sounded so good I’ll say it again…
THE HOTTEST MOTHERFUCKING THING SINCE THE EAST COAST POWER BLACKOUT!!!

We’ve seen the Ferengi show up. We’ve seen the Borg show up. So with season 3 coming up in a month or so, let’s see what crazy stuff awaits us in this supposed Trek prequel series that’s feeling like something else being pulled out of someone’s ass…

Around the late-80s during the NES craze, Nintendo decided to take some of their top titles and convert them in arcade games. You had games like Vs. Super Mario Bros, Vs. Baseball, Vs. Castlevania, and others like that. The one addition that struck me as odd was Vs. Gradius, which is the NES port of the original arcade game Gradius. Curious. Out of all the NES games they could have converted to the arcade Vs system, they had to choose a game which started out as an arcade game… and a pretty good arcade shooter. In any case, I’ll review this game for what it really is: an arcade port of an NES port of an arcade game.
Argh! Too hard! Great game though…
Around 1987, Nintendo created several arcade games that each featured a slightly different Nintendo game. Some of the popular games at the time received this treatment. One of them, conveniently enough, was Castlevania.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this game. For those unaware, there indeed is an arcade version of the original Super Mario Bros. video game. While mainly a gimmick by Nintendo to try and sell more NES systems, the arcade version is somewhat different from its home counterpart.

So THIS is the Super Mario Bros. 2 game that was never brought to the states either because it was too tough or too much like SMB1, right? All I can technically say is… good move.
