The one group of games that seemed to have never run out is the movie-based games, but now in 1997 there is a tremendous lack of movie-based games. So far, the Nintendo 64 has only received one game: GoldenEye, which I might add is an excellent game. Game Boy only received two games: The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules. Game Boy will also receive one more game before the year is up: The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The Super NES has had none and will get none (as far as I know) in the future. Remember, the Super NES is a dying system. The last few games that the system will get will probably be a few "series" action games and sports games. The last Super NES movie-based game was Casper. It was released in December 1996.
What will you have to look forward to, from this genre?
As you can see, there aren't many. Keep in mind that all of these dates are for North America. Japan may get these games earlier and Europe & Australia may get them later. James Bond 007 will be an overhead action/adventure game. Mission: Impossible will be a 3-D action/adventure game. Quest For Camelot (for Game Boy) will be an overhead adventure game (like Zelda). I have not seen any pictures of the Nintendo 64 version, so I can't say what type of game it is. (It might be a 3-D game, since that's the direction most games are going.) |
