Superfamicom TURBO by BANDAI. So you know it's good! (mediocre).

Released late in the life of super famicom, it was yet another attempt by Bandai in the game market.

 

 

Sufami Turbo is a lot like alladin for NES. Low cost ROM carts can be plugged into a base unit. But that's where all similarities end.

If you put different carts in Slots A and B, the characters in the two games can MEET and BATTLE. Yes, that's right, port over.

There's a series of SD games that can be combined. It's a very strange mix  when games are merged.. What is more interesting, is that there is a Sailor moon puzzle game.. but I really don't know if you can combine Sailor Moon and SD Wars. I really hope you can though.

Super complex instructions huh? They have this huge diagram on the back of the box. You can use the Sufami Turbo on a modded SNES, just clip out the two protrusions inside the cart slot well.

Games for the Sufami Turbo were released as late as 1996; almost a year and a half after Playstation and Saturn were released. Strange until you consider that most SD gamers seem blind to the 8 bit graphics of the series. We are talking about super deformed (SD) robots in turn based combat.. Yawn.

1994-1996: At this time Bandai had line of products that included the failed Playdia, and disasterous Pippin. Perhaps it was Bandai's attempts to create their own game console environment. Everything they tried to do failed. Playdia was designed for kids, and desperate to make profits, they started releasing anime Idol discs. Excited? Me neither. Pippin, well, that was a device before it's time. Internet, games, avatar, a true innovation from Apple. However, Bandai ws losing money at such a rate that they aborted the machine and less than 10,000 were released in Japan. Think X-BOX, but in 1994. The only thing that held it back was it's incredibly high cost. Why Sufami Turbo was released in such an atmosphere is beyond me. Very few games were made, and it faded quickly.
