DuckTales getting a squiggle bracket was not on my bingo card, much less it almost falling into the low range. Yikes. I'm a bit worried about how other NES ports will fare.

Tower of Druaga, The
I'm kind of curious to try The Tower of Druaga, as it has appeared or been referenced in various Namco games but I don't really know anything about it, other than that apparently it's very important to use a guide. I'm also curious to see how Double Dragon makes the conversion to Game Boy.

Kind of a weak topic this time. I guess not every topic can have an End Sector to carry it.
Games for this topic:

Weakest Link, The
We finally get the chronologically next game in the K-1 series after a mere 6 and a half years since we originally covered K-1 Grand Prix (which I mistook for the first game in the series even though it was actually the third). As K-1 Grand Prix was one of my favourite early finds for GAB I'm curious to see how this one turns out. Don't worry, I haven't made the same mistake with Dragon Knight, this is the only game in the series that's on PS1 (there's also a pretty detailed guide for it). I'm also kind of curious to play The Weakest Link, which I remember being a big deal for a few months back in the day but I remember absolutely nothing about it.

I don't really have a ton to say here, other than that I'm surprised Bubble Bobble got as few votes as it did, as I would have expected it to be very well known. I guess a lot of people just stuck to the NES version, which segues well into our next topic...
Games for this topic:
Battle Ping Pong
Battle Unit Zeoth
Dexterity
DuckTales
Shounen Ashibe
Rolan's Curse
Battle Unit Zeoth is a game I keep seeing on the gameboy list since it's near the top of the list alphabetically and by release order, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's about, but no question the big story here is DuckTales. As one of the most popular NES games, I'm quite curious to see how that will help or hurt the reception to the GB game. Rolan's Curse is also a game I remember being popular in the old days.

I really wish more people had the ability to try End Sector. If I can ever get some free time maybe I'll end up writing a guide for it. Also, we were very in sync in this topic, only Magical Drop 3 didn't get the same rating across the board.

I remember a very long time ago, someone asked if we were going to cover the sequel to Descent. And we are, only 7 years after the original! I wonder if whomever posted that is still here, because I couldn't find the original post. Speaking of sequels, we also have Makeruna Makendou 2, which you probably don't recognize because the original game was called Kendo Rage in the US. I also think Dragonseeds looks like an interesting game.
