Felix the Cat (NES) Playthrough
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2022
- A playthrough of Hudson Soft's 1992 license-based platformer for the NES, Felix the Cat.
Originally appearing in 1919, Felix rose to fame during the reign of silent films, though Hudson’s game concentrates on the particulars of the franchise’s 1953 reboot which, amongst several other things, introduced Felix’s famous bag of tricks.
In his NES outing, Felix must save his girlfriend Kitty Cat who has been kidnapped by the evil professor. When the professor demands Felix’s magical bag in exchange for the safe return of his true love, Felix takes off in pursuit.
Felix the Cat is a nicely refined take on the typical NES platformer with twenty-three stages spanning land, sea, and air, each brimming with enemy blasting, MacGuffin collecting action.
Felix's upgradable arsenal of tricks is nothing if not versatile: in land-based stages, Felix starts with an extending mechanical boxing glove that can be traded in for a magician costume that sprays stars, a car with a loud horn, and a tank that can lob cannonballs. In aerial stages, Felix begins with a Mary Poppins-style umbrella that can be upgraded to a hot air balloon and an airplane. Underwater stages begin Felix rocking a snorkel mask that can be replaced by a speedy turtle or a submarine that somewhat creepily resembles Felix's face. Finally, in the land-to-sea transition stages, Felix starts out in a leaping canoe that can be turned into an attack dolphin if enough hearts are collected.
While tooling around in any upgraded vehicle, a heart meter will start counting down. When the hearts run out the vehicle will disappear, though they can be replenished by collecting milk bottles.
The graphics in Felix the Cat are some of the best you'll find in an NES platformer. Felix’s sprite looks just like the real deal, and each of his several forms are loaded with personality thanks to the exceptional attention paid to small details like the way his face animates. The backgrounds are colorful, and there is a good bit of variety in the enemies. The music is good, too. It's not particularly memorable, but it stays appropriately uptempo and cheery throughout.
The controls perform exactly as you'd expected, regardless of the type of stage or vehicle being used, and the jumping controls are tight enough to ensure that Felix always lands exactly where you intend. There are occasions, however, when the screen doesn't scroll up when jumping, so you have to be careful to not launch Felix into hazards that often lie hidden just beyond the top edge of the screen.
While the game does feature several stages, most of which contain secret areas, the overall lack of challenge makes Felix the Cat feel like a much shorter game than it really is. It's geared toward those that want an enjoyable experience without being punished for not having level layouts memorized, making it perfect for the casual crowd and for kids. If you want to boost your old-school gamer ego, this is a fun way to do that.
Felix the Cat‘s fantastic art direction and the sheer amount of character expressed in the spritework is a testament to the respect that the design team held for the source material. Further bolstered by the pitch perfect controls and the variety that the vehicles bring to the gameplay, Felix the Cat compares favorably to the best of Capcom's NES Disney titles.

Felix the Cat is an unbelievably charming platformer that deserved so much more recognition than it ever got.
I agree
It's only flaw is being released so late into the NES' lifespan. If Felix was released two years earlier it would be a fondly remembered game instead of a cult classic.
You're definitely right, this game deserved more recognition, but I'll be honest: I probably never would've given this game the time of day simply because I had no idea who Felix the Cat even was at the time.
it already has some recongnition tho, and all of it "thanks" to that godawful russian genesis port
💯
I honestly think that Felix the Cat deserves more love since he has been stuck into obscurity for decades.
It's better left in the past than rebooted in the 2020s
No one said reboot. Just general relevancy like how mickey is
One of the best licensed games for the NES ever!
agreed
This is alot more wholesome than that bootleg for the SEGA Genesis.
I'd still love to know who drew the pixel art for the game over screen. That stuff's legendary!
@@LPetal86 It's a piece of art on the internet called "Felix Unmasked"
@@solarflare9078 LOL, that's quite the name.

You completed that game Like Ah Boss!
:) thanks
Picked this up CIB a couple years ago. Easy, but highly enjoyable platformer that you can come back to time and again, and still enjoy. Ranks alongside Lone Ranger, Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu (also Hudson Soft), and Journey to Silius as my favorite NES discoveries as a collector.
No idea how I was made aware of such an obscure game as a kid, but this is one I always loved playing
Felix the Cat DOES what Mighty Mouse DON'T!!
Yeah. I would've gone nuts for a Mighty Mouse game as a kid. Or a Count Duckula one.
@@NintendoComplete Same, bro
Came here because of the ESRB leaks that mention a Felix The Cat collection so this will be possibly coming to modern platforms along with other Felix games
I believe this was the basis for the bootleg Genesis Felix game that's infamous for its game over screen...
Yep….
@@Darkchao_berserko22 I believe that too. There is one RUclipsr who has also covered the topic of Russian bootleg games, his name is ConnerTheWaffle and he also talked about that unlicensed Felix the Cat game from Russia. But if someone actually made a real port of this NES classic for the Genesis, that would definitely be much better, because why play a bootleg version when you can have a port of the real version.
It was probably done that way because the presentation of that game is not good enough, the graphics in that game are excellent, but the introductory scenes to the next levels are missing and the title screen and the scene when the evil doctor calls Felix are also missing. And the scene where Felix laughs as a transition before the next title screen of the level is also missing.
There are no boss battles at all and the game is extremely short and can be completed in 13 minutes.
Simply, that Russian unlicensed game doesn't have much to offer and lacks variety, and it would make sense if someone did a real Genesis port because it would be a lot more varied and would keep people's attention, which is the most important thing, and also that version wouldn't be that much short compared to what we got.
@@Vuja121 ConnorTheWaffle is an AWFUL channel, and he doesn't know jack half of the time. He even called the Mega Man arcade games fangames once.
@@solarflare9078 Not to mention he's a total douche. He used my footage for his Sonic's Schoolhouse video, blurred out my name, and refused to acknowledge me when I called him on it.
@@NintendoComplete damn, hes one real bastard
Back in the insane days of gaming where literally any silly thing could be made into a boss.
Just to update dude, This game along with the Game Boy version got released on Current Consoles like PS4, PS5, etc a month ago & didn't know until a few days ago. Will try to play this later this week. Glad I got a chance to play it even when I'd lost that chance years ago when I'd had the NES Console back in the day.
Aww Felix the cat I played his game once and conquered it plus I still love that cat he's my favorite character
Felix needs a revival and maybe more adventures.
Sweet! Love me some classics. World 1 rocks.
dude, I remember playing this game for countless hours back in the day
as a kid I rented that countless times at the video game store. it was so good lol, I finished it a few times too
a very good and pleasant game
it's not difficult but it's long enough to make you feel the achievement when you complete all kinds of its levels
This game and Wacky Races are games I play simply because of how charming and fun they are. Want to feel good? Pop in this cartridge.
I can't get enough of games that make the extra effort to animate several different things by giving the hero a wide variety of abilities, like you also just showed us with _Panic Restaurant_ . (Also incidentally, that new cat game, _Stray_ , came out a few days ago. Have you given that one a go yet? It's a charming little game!)
This was one of the first roms I ever downloaded on the PC I got for my birthday in 2002, brings back vivid memories of my parents listening to the 'O brother where art thou' soundtrack and eating Costco taquitos in vast quantities
Saw this pop up and thought I'd give it a look. I was expecting it to be pretty meh considering it was a licensed title and thought it might give me a chuckle. I am left very pleasantly surprised! Certainly impressed by the sprites and vehicle usage! I'm probably going to give this game a go now.
awesome as always!!
Ty!
This was the first game I ever beat as a kid!
Fun game beat it many times
Cool video.
Did you know that there was _another_ Felix the Cat game for the NES? However, that one was an unlicensed bootleg which was loosely based on the 1936 cartoon The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg (incidentally, the first Felix the Cat cartoon to be made in colour), complete with Captain Kidd as the bad guy (simply called "the greedy captain" in the bootleg).
I had no clue tbh
"...by Hudson!
Felix The Cat
c Dreamworks Animation
Thru NBC Universal
If this game ever gets remade, here's hoping that Kitty will be playable as well.
I traveled one year from the future to tell you that this game is re-released to modern consoles!
@@firefox649 Thank you.
You make it look so easy.
Whatever you do, do not choose HET
I was hoping someone would have brought up HET
What is het?
Omg nvm. I just looked it up.
You okay?
@@retro3188 I'll live. More than I can say for poor Felix.
A million times better than the movie lol. It's just so charming and chill. Shame no one mentions it, though.
I appreciate how the magic bag is basically this game's version of Mario pipes lol
Very underrated game!
I love this channel the nes is awesome the channel shows the best nes games thank you Nintendocomplete
to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or probably will SOMEWHAT like cats
Thanks friend for live secretss
Felix the Cat for the Nintendo NES is based on the famous cartoon character.
The Professor has kidnapped Kitty, Felix girlfriend, trying to exchange her for Felix' magic bag. Naturally, Felix is not going to let himself be blackmailed, and instead sets out to free Kitty.
There are four different types of levels.
Typical platforming levels in which Felix has to make his way to the exit while jumping about obstacles and chasms, killing enemies using different weapons.
Swimming levels in which Felix rides a float or on the back of a dolphin.
Levels that take place entirely under water.
Flying levels that put Felix in control of different flying devices, such as a plane, a hot-air balloon or an umbrella.
Throughout all levels, Felix can collect cat symbols to improve his weapons. After collecting a certain number of cat symbols, milk bottles or hearts will appear. Hearts improve Felix' current weapon. What types of weapon Felix can use, depends on what type of level he is in. There are lots of different weapons ranging from a boxing glove to motorcycles to tanks to spaceships. All weapons that are better than the standard weapon have an energy bar that diminishes over time and can be refilled by collecting milk bottles. Getting hit by an enemy decreases the level of Felix' current weapon. If he gets hit while carrying the standard weapon, he loses a life.
The Game Boy version plays virtually identically the same to the NES version, but features fewer and less levels.
Remember when games just started? Without a tutorial telling you what the arrow keys and the A button obviously do? This game just reminded me of that.
I need to get this!
Great game, but it should have a hard mode or sametinget, for more replay value.
Is a great game, very fun.
I just beat this game and the GameBoy port today, fun games
Felix the cat is currently owned by Dreamworks who uses him as a fashion brand.
Nyet!!!
You mean HET!
@@SNARC15 Nyet is how one pronounces the word in English.
нет is the Russian spelling though
uno de los juegos de la nes que me gustaba muchísimo lo acabe varias veces
This game is longer than I thought...I heard somewhere that it was 9 levels, but it's actually 25 levels across 9 worlds. It's basically like a Mario game. Still good tho
Felix the HET
The Master Cylinder was involved in the 1990s movie.
In Poland there was Pikachu bootleg
*HET intensifies*
What about the Russian bootleg
So we're save
IT's very similar to wonder boy !
My record 99 lifes!
Turn up the brightness!
What? Thats the game's issue and not the TV or person behind the upload? Well, do I have egg on my face assuming that.
But yeah, game is too easy and the music is pretty good. World 1's music is easily the best one.
