Review Adventure Island (3DS eShop / GB)
Master Higgins' first Game Boy adventure
There were a good number of NES franchises that ended up making appearances on the Game Boy system, some better than others.

Woah, this looks different from the first NES one. I'm guessing it's the GameBoy version of Adventure Island II on the NES?
You are correct. It's scaled down a bit, but it's based on the NES Adventure Island II cart. The NES version is better, but this is a good game if you're looking for short, but very challenging levels. Think of it as a concentrated version of the NES release.
I don't like the Adventure Island series.
Looking at this game I KNOW I have played a game in this series before. I had a GBC as my first console though so it might have been one of the GB games with colour slapped on. Playing this one doesnt feel as familiar though; it might have been the sequel I played.
I don't want this one bit, but it's probably coming out on the 24th anyway in the States. Ah well, at least I have my pre-ordered copy of Mario Kart 7 to look forward to for December 4th.
