Super Mario Bros 2
This is the second Super Mario Bros. game released on the NES Disk System, and it is a game that revamped the stages of the first Mario game and increased the difficulty of each stage.
It is often described as a game that symbolizes “difficulty inflation” and boasts the highest level of difficulty of all the Mario games, and while Mario and Luigi each have their own control characteristics, unlike its predecessor, it has been said that this game simply increased the difficulty level of the original Mario.
Dragon Ball Z3: cybernetic organism
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Card battle RPG based on the hugely popular TV anime “Dragon Ball Z”, this is the third title in the Famicom (NES) software series based on the “Dragon Ball Z” series.
The game content is the same as before, with map movement, battles, and all other basic aspects of the game being played using cards, and the graphics and BGM have been greatly improved from the previous game.
Although the title says “Rekisen Android”, the main storyline was mainly about the Dragon Ball battle against the Kuura Army, so “What about the Android? It’s a game that makes you want to be proud of yourself.
The game ends with a message “Will they be able to defeat Cell? and the game ends abruptly without a staff roll or anything else, making it a game that’s often described as a “title scam” or “indigestible”.
Surprisingly hot new record! A far-reaching gold medal
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
This game is a sequel to the hugely popular “Downtown Nekketsu Koshin Koshinkyoku,” one of the “Kuniokun series” that supported the NES for a long time.
While the previous game was based on the theme of athletic meets, this game is based on the theme of the Olympics, and has more events and modes to choose from than its predecessor, increasing the overall volume of the game.
However, this game was a game that had a lot of controversy among fans because it only allowed up to two players at a time, whereas the previous game allowed up to four players to play at the same time, which made the game more of a party game.
The game itself isn’t a bad game by any means, but much like The Adventures of Link, the impact of its predecessor was so strong that it didn’t surpass the popularity of its predecessor until the very end.
If only the order in which they were released had been reversed, The Surprisingly Hot New Record! Faraway Gold Medal” would feel like a waste of time.
Lupin III: Pandora’s Legacy
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
This is a side-scrolling action game based on the theme of the movie version of Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro, and the control characters can be selected from Lupin, Dimensional, and Goemon, with the content of attacking the stages by using the characteristics of each character.
It was a game of mixed opinions, with a high level of difficulty overall, such as touching an enemy, hitting an enemy’s attack takes you out in one shot, the controls were lacking, and some characters’ features were too weak.
Particularly memorable were “Lupin’s bullet range is short, but he can use all of his items”, “Goemon’s range is short, but his zintetsu sword is almost invincible”, and “Dimensional’s range is just too long”, but the characteristics of Dimensional are too weak.
Summary
We’ve introduced a number of NES games that have been described as both controversial and controversial, sometimes as masterpieces and sometimes as shitty games.
There were some games that were convincing pieces of shit, but there were also games that were released too early to be accepted by the users of the NES at the time.
Since NES software, both classic and lost games, were released in large numbers at the time, there are games that weren’t popular back then but have been reevaluated now, as well as games that have become addictive with this top-notch level of difficulty only now.
In addition to the games we’ve introduced here, there are many more games that were released on NES and other hardware, so we’ll continue to pay attention to not only what’s wrong with those games, but also what makes them so appealing.
