$10 and just over 7 hours of frustrating but awesome gameplay, for 73% completion…and I could totally go play it again from scratch. Mario 3, Mega Man 2, and Zelda: Link to the Past all rolled into the best combo one could imagine. This would have been the best NES game ever. Beating every stage and every boss felt lovely. Controls are perfect - knockback is annoying, but having the armor options…adding the abilities and specials and armor and shovel moves…it's perfectly deep, perfectly challenging. Hats off to Yacht Club games for making something more entertaining and engaging than the scores of FPS clones and kill-X-of-baddie-Y brainlessness that we've been addicted to for years and years.
