Truly amazing what some developers were able to squeeze out of the NES at the end of its lifecycle.

So many of the late release NES games were great, they just got no focus because everyone moved on to the SNES or Genesis. Another great video, thanks!

This looks really good for a late NES title. I'd never heard of it. It is an interesting "environmental" theme, too.

Kind of a shame that this game never was expanded on. Some of the concepts and gameplay were incredibly impressive for the time.

Love this game! This was one of my original NES games from when I was little, believe it or not. A good old former rental from Blockbuster. This has always been a favorite of mine and very high on my NES great hidden gems list. The graphics are amazing, the music is kickass and once you figure out what to do, becomes a very fun one to play. The toxic factory stage took me forever to figure out when I was a kid as far as the gameplay went (i.e. the jumps) but I eventually figured out what to do. I still have a couple of issues of the comic book as well.

This game looks as crazy as its soundtrack. It is also definitvely proof of what the NES was capable about.

The comic this is based off of also introduced a female mercenary named Nira-X. She still gets comics occasionally, and one is at the tail end of a kickstarter at the time this video went up.

Wow this channel looks awesome thanks for this entertaining, informative and fun video! 👍🏼👍🏼

Never heard of this game before, it looks pretty cool! Thanks for covering it!

I find it interesting there are so many high quality late NES releases. This was release a year and a half after the SNES and the evidence suggests that they didn't sell that well. If you compare with similar points in the lifespan of the Playstation, PS2, or Wii the games that were being released this far past the beginning of the next gen were mostly shovel ware. I can assume that's because it became so much easier to most a game in development to the next generation in the 3D era of gaming. It might also be that the NES was far more sticky than the modern consoles in enough markets. That certainly happened with some other systems, like the amazingly long lifespan of the Master System in Brazil.

Moin Pam^^ Greetings from Germany ( I´am watching you since the Episode of Isolated Warrior, one of the Games that abandon under my Desk in a pile of LJN games for 15 years^^ )

I loved this game as a kid! I'd read the archie comics series (which some of the game cutscenes take directly from the comic panels), so it was a pretty exciting moment when I found this at the rental shop. Unfortunately, I don't think the character was ever too popular here, since I was the only one in my class who had heard of him, and our local walmart and kaybee's never got the action figures in stock in our area. On a sidenote, I think the difficulty selection affects the speed of the falling spiked ceiling stage as I remember having quite the time with that section on a hard difficulty playthrough. It could be I was just having terrible luck that day as well, lol.

I'm playing this after I'm done with Ghost of Tsushima. Thank you for bringing back old school games to our minds. Great video. 👍👍

This is easily one of the best games on the platform. It has a lot of variety in its gameplay. Each main level is different with different objectives. How many other games did that on the platform? Probably none. The sound music and design are insane. Toxic rain forest theme is probably my favourite ost on the NES overall. It’s epic!

I miss the days when Konami knew what they were doing.

Zen: Intergalactic Ninja was one of my favorite games when i was a kid. Hard mode makes game much hurder)) Enemies inflict more damage, you have less time in time-based missons etc. Final boss on hard mode really nasty.

Never heard of this game but it definitely looks interesting. It came out 2 years after I was born. For it's time, it seems to be slightly innovative in a few ways. Minigames, different camera angles, interesting game mechanics like zen. There's most likely other nes games that played with the same mechanics but this one looks like a bundle of interesting game ideas. It sucks when someone puts a shit load of work into a game and it never gets properly noticed. Badass video, P!
