This game is AWESOME! It not only feels exactly like an NES game, it's a great game in its own right! Challenging, cool diverse weapons, great music, and while it's hard, it's definitely not TOO hard. All that Contra and Bionic Commando paid off ;)
Also, requirement to press Down to pick up items is brilliant. There's nothing worse than accidentally losing your favorite gun because a powerup was in your way!
If this went out in 1989, today it would be on the same pedestal as contra and zelda.... awesome game man
And so we meet again, fake difficulty. There is a big difference between challenging and unfair. Good thing I can not call this game unfair, but its kind of difficulty is annoying, I mean those "BOOM ENEMIES OH AND WHY DON'T YOU ACCIDENTALLY PICK UP THIS GUN YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE!" scripts.
Now, for me, there isn't much of a nostalgia factor, mostly because I didn't expirience that era.
Also, the jumping controls are at most mediocre. I guess nintendo difficulty fits it.
If I'd like this kind of retro style I'd sure like the game.
Fun fact: it's indeed longer than a CoD.
Game is great, 8bit rules BUT...sometimes i just explode. With no enemies around ,with full healt i go BOOM. Don't know why. Any ideas?
You ran out of time. :)
luv the nes style game brings back memories:)
