[h=1]On this day (May 21) in Nintendo history...[/h]

  • Game Boy Wars was released in 1991 for the Game Boy in Japan. In this turn-based tactics game, developed by Intelligent Systems with Nintendo R&D1, it's the Red Star Army versus the army of White Moon, facing off across sixteen maps. The biggest change from the Famicom Wars campaign is the six-way movement across the map using the hexagonal grid. You can either play against a computer or a human player, passing the Game Boy between players each turn.
  • Joy Mech Fight was released in 1993 for the Family Computer in Japan. In this fighting game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, Dr. Little Eamon and Dr. Ivar Walnuts have built some of the most spectacular robots in the world. But when Walnuts goes mad and steals all of the robots, Little Eamon fires up the machine and activates the only one remaining, the comedy robot Sukapon. Fight through a series of enemy robots using standard and special moves.
  • Classic NES Series: Dr. Mario (known in PAL territories as NES Classics: Dr. Mario) was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this puzzle game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Dr. Mario, developed by Nintendo, Mario goes medical! With several nasty viruses on the loose, the multi-talented plumber takes immediate action to wipe them out in this remarkable puzzler.
  • Famicom Mini: Balloon Fight was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this action game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Balloon Fight, developed by Nintendo, go up, up and away. In Balloon Fight you have one simple mission: pop or be popped! Burst enemies' balloons from above, and hit them again before they have time to re-inflate. Danger comes from the sky or sea, too; watch out for lightning strikes and a very hungry fish.
  • Famicom Mini: Clu Clu Land was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this puzzle game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Clu Clu Land, developed by Nintendo, manoeuvre Bubbles around the stages by grabbing posts with her outstretched hands and swinging in your chosen direction. Clu Clu Land is a unique and fast-paced action-puzzle game. To win, explore the whole maze to uncover all of the gold bars. But beware! Spiky sea urchins can pop Bubbles if she touches them.
  • Famicom Mini: Mario Bros. was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this platform game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Mario Bros., developed by Nintendo, the gameplay is simple yet challenging: eliminate all the enemies in each level for a big score. However, Mario cannot jump on enemies from above and must hit them from below and finish them off with a kick. Add a second player as Luigi for even more fun! Mario Bros. is a treasure trove of gaming history.
  • Famicom Mini: Wrecking Crew was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this action/puzzle game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Wrecking Crew, developed by Nintendo, Mario and Luigi have gotten jobs tearing down a derelict building site, but the mean Foreman Spike and his lackeys have other ideas. The aim is to break all the stone walls on each stage with your hammer. You have to climb ladders and drop down onto platforms to reach them all.
