Trying Toaplan Arcade 4 (Part 2) [Evercade #261]

Like I said, this is probably the last Toaplan arcade cart. And how did the last Toaplan Arcade cart go?
Overall, it's probably my least favorite of the Toaplan carts. Only Pip & Bibi's and Snow Bros. 2 interest me from this one.
Snow Bros. 2 is a good follow-up to the first one (though incredibly difficult). The different characters all have their strengths and weaknesses, so it gives a player choice depending on their playstyle. It's good!
Grind Stormer is a decent shoot-em-up for what it is. But there isn't anything too special about it compared to what we've seen in Toaplan 2-3 in comparison.
Knuckle Bash is a beat-em-up...and I don't like it. I'm not a fan of the genre as a whole (though some individual games are stand-out greats), and this one doesn't help. It's just not very fun, especially when the enemies charge up attacks off-screen...
Snow Brothers NES is a good game - one of the best bonus games that we have for the VS! But does it really matter when there is still no menu on the VS to access it?
Overall, this cart feels like a "whatever was left" cart from Toaplan. It has 2 games which I like (Snow Bros. 2 and Pipi & Bibi's), one which I'm curious about (Dogyuun) and the rest either I don't like or just don't care about.
Oh well. Toaplan as a whole is awesome on Evercade. But this final cart is a bit of a let-down.
