Shame we couldn't get more like it. I guess there's Paper Mario, but that never interested me.

So the Mario head was the top of the poster then the rest was underneath? Kinda feels overdesigned, although I guess it helps Mario stand out more prominently. The lower part is great, though.

Were they on the back of the poster? And the cards are really cool. Can't remember if I had those.
Yeah the head is the top and they had the cards stapled in between the pages the poster was spread across. It was a different positioning then any of the other posters. Heres the backs on the cards if interested.

Can't remember if I ever played Lost Vikings 2, but I liked the first one. I know that Trine more or less tried to use the concept, but I tried it and just wasn't feeling it.

Surprisingly awful art, especially considering it's Marvel. Thanos and Hulk look terrible. IM almost looks like he's wearing a corset. Cap is mostly behind his shield, so can't really comment there. Spidey looks alright.

I mostly remember the game since it shares most of its name with the arcade fighter and remember being disappointed that it wasn't a port.

Yea, but it is mid-90's Marvel. That is around the time they declared bankruptcy.

Unfortunately, not my sale, but my father got a good $20 U.S. for it, IIRC. (The box had been damaged by one of my nephews leaving a blue popsicle on it that melted, unfortunately.)

Completely underrated game, I was surprised I was able to pick up the NES cart for like $3 at a convention a few years back, given how rare (pun semi-intended) and good the game is.

Oh man... I owned that lunchbox, too. Wonder if it's in a box somewhere. You should totally find yours! Still have the Pinball game.

When cleaning up, I found an old Nintendo catalog - wonder if I can figure out how to post pictures from it.

That's another great question, especially since Wolverine was one of Marvel's best-known characters in the 90s.

Was just checking the dates and realized that the Silver Surfer cartoon came out after War for the Gems. So I guess if you didn't read comics or collect Marvel cards, you'd only be aware of him from arcades where Capcom's original Marvel Super Heroes was a fighting game

The brown-haired Peach kinda almost makes it look bootleg. I always forget that she was originally depicted with dark hair.

See: Ye Olde Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Then again, her NES version had red hair (and, in SMB1, a head of monstrous size).

Some of the 80s Mario art was definitely different then what we are use to today. This is a book I have made by Nintendo in 1987 that has some really different character art.

Art on the penguin balloon doesn't look like anything from the show, but otherwise really neat. Kind of an interesting choice going with Penguin since the game looks to more revolve around Joker

Never played it, although I enjoyed the later SNES one from what I played of that.

I was thinking about that as well, but then I realized a lot of these don't show in-game footage. In this case, it's just weird because they're doing a collage so they could have reasonably shown footage. And I wish they had, because I don't remember anything about it.
