I saved one of the best games for last. This is TANT-R which is one heck of a game. Before Wario Ware there was this game. It never got released in the arcades outside of Japan. It got a release however on the Mega Drive in Korea. I guess they thought the game was too hard and challenging to bring it to the States. I think they were probably right. The game can be very difficult at times and somewhat impossible on the harder difficulty setting.

The game will remind many of Wario Ware because it is very similar to TANT-R. You have a certain amount of time to complete a mini game. The biggest difference between the two is that Wario Ware is a bunch of super simple mini games that are only a few seconds long. TANT-R is a bunch of simple to extremely complex mini games that can last about a minute. It's not nearly as fast paced initially, but gets hectic really quick once the mini game starts as it seems mostly that you have just the right amount of time to complete the task within the given time frame. This game will eat you alive, but at the same time it is incredibly addictive and fun. Most of the time really hard games are hardly ever synonymous with fun. This is a very well designed game that I am glad they decided to bring state side.

Because I have never played any other version besides this one, I looked up a video of the original arcade. From what I can tell the graphics and sound have both been significantly improved while the gameplay has been left untouched. Even if it were not a faithful port of the original arcade, this would still be a fantastic game on it's own.
