ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Cartoon Violence

(Additional accessories are required for the multiplayer modes and are sold separately.) Players can challenge themselves in three different modes: Mole Adventure (1-2 players), Mole Marathon (1 player) and Party Battle (1-4 players). Mole Adventure consists of four stages with three difficulty types. The faster you bash, the more points you get.

Also, three characters from the original Fatal Fury (Duck, Dan and Geese) have returned to the fight. Building on the appeal of the previous game with two-line battles, special moves and powerful finishers, this game is truly worthy of its “special” distinction.

Why not sign up for a (free) account?
 
It's up on IGN Board if you want to copy and paste it from there.

I was disappointed there was no classic Mega Mans on VC today, but I guess it would have made more sense in the days leading up.

Dart Rage.


My mind is blown just by the fact that there's actually a game titled "Dart Rage" out there. That's almost worth 600pts by itself.

Is the DSi Golf game good? I want a golf game on my DS... And Mario Golf DS has never (and may never be) made.

@-JKR-
Got a review right here: 7/10.

The game is made by Camelot, the same guys that did the Mario Golf games. The graphics look similar in style to the Hot Shots Golf series. For the small entry fee price, I think it's a safe venture if you want a decent golf game on your DS.

Well, Jeremy Parish reviewed MM10 and, while he doesn't think it's nearly as brilliant as MM9, it's apparently still one of the best 2D action games available out there.
