    This is one of those super nostalgic games for me. It brings back a flood of memories playing it when I was 6 years old, sitting there with my Nintendo Power, admiring how big the levels were, and trying to find the next key needed to continue. I simply adore this game. I am really glad you covered it!

      @mchevre 7 лет назад +12

      me too. I never owned it as a little kid, but one of my cousins that I didn't see often had it. whenever I got to see him, I looked forward to playing this game. It will always be one of the most special NES games to me. Though it is hard as fuck, lol. I remember being scared when my cousin (who was several years older) got to the nightmare king for me (I was like 5 years old).

      My friend and I played the crap out of this game. It was so much fun to find new animal transformations and getting to see all the unique levels. I remember the nightmare areas at the end (when you get the wand) being ridiculously difficult, and we got through them without using Game Genie. But this is a terrific game with terrific visuals, unique level design, and really fun gameplay. It's a shame more people don't appreciate it.

  • @DoomRater
    @DoomRater 7 лет назад +14

    The nightmare stages make it a whole nother level of game for me. You finally get to use that stupid rod that's been on your back the whole game and it's a bit finicky but I love how it charges up after you swing it.

    Another huge winner on the NES. I remember seeing the ad for this one in a comic book, and seeing it was by Capcom. It looked so amazing and I had to have it. Even at 9, I'd started to recognize that Capcom made winners. I already owned Mega Man 2 and 3, Ducktales, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, and Yo Noid! (okay, they all can't be perfect). This game blew me away. I was immediately addicted to all the power ups and the awesome level designs like the toy train and the upside down area. I regret that I never completed it without Game Genie. The nightmare stages at the end were just so difficult and a complete departure from the rest of the game. That flying sting ray boss always owned me and that awkward wand. Phenomenal, VERY underrated game, though. Nobody talks about it.

    I rented this game, got all the way to the final boss and couldn't beat it because I didn't know you could CHARGE the wand by holding the attack button. Throughout the game you've never used the wand in that way, and now, bam, new ability with NO information! DOH!! Still, awesome game!

    Also, the second level of this game ratchets difficulty up into "rage quit" territory pretty early on. It seems like none of the stages (other than the last) are worse than it.
    I've still never beaten the game. I always rage quit on the second part of the final world... BTW, you get a weapon to bash and blast things with in the last level.

  • @FelixGameRoom
    @FelixGameRoom 3 года назад

    It sure is a great game. There's variety as each level is different. My biggest gripe, though, is sequences. Level 5 is probably the most infamous for that. You have to possess every create in a specific order every single time. It's fine, I guess, if you do it for the first time but if you happen to die it gets annoying pretty quickly.
    And by the way is the lizard blue in your game? I've always had a purple one 😁

  • @Kylora2112
    @Kylora2112 4 года назад

    This is in my top 10 NES games. If you look at it as more of a puzzle platformer (because you need to find the right animal for the section) rather than typical Super Mario Bros. 3 "power-up platformer" (where you don't NEED the specific power-ups, but they make the game easier and open up secrets), then it will really change your viewpoint. It's not SUPER challenging until you get to the Nightmare World (the Train level can suck, but it's more of a "fair Turbo Tunnel" than a brutal slog).
    And I totally think this is a perfect puzzle platformer.

  • @GadGades
    @GadGades 7 лет назад +2

    enemies respond but it's not as hard ninja gaiden. And it's not like kirby because this game is much more of a puzzler. It's surprising to realize that. Snes drunk said in a different video not to judge a game by what it isn't and it's not a free form action game. The game probably doesn't give you enough lives but if you memorize ethe whole thing it's not that hard either. THere's usually not that many enemies and the respawning isn't as much of a problem because the enemies tend to be slow.

      I don't think I understand that notion. Okay, this is no Legend of Zelda, but it's hardly a "linear" platformer. Outside of the toy train level, every stage is a fairly large area that you had to explore on your own to find all the keys. It's about as close to having "sandbox" worlds (like Mario 64) as you could get on the NES. I absolutely adore this game.

      Actually, this was the video game tie-in for an American/Japanese co-produced animated film: "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland", which itself was based off of Windsor McCay's classic comic strip that inspired a lot of early animated cartoons. The problem was, in spite of having a large amount of talent behind the production, it went through ten years of Production Hell and ended up flopping.
      FYI, Netflix's recently-released "Slumberland" is also supposed to be based off of the comic strip...but at this point they changed so much it's impossible to relate the two. It's set in the modern day, Nemo is now a girl, and Flip went from being a green-faced, cigar-smoking guy in a tweed suit to a big goat man played by Jason Momoa (somehow...).

    I played this for the first time yesterday.
    The first seven levels were great: yes, pretty hard, but after dying several times in each stage I could beat it eventually. The fact it has inifinite continues is a major strength, and each level took less than 5 minutes if you knew what you were doing.
    Then, I reached level 8. Holy hell.
    The level is split up into 5 stages, with 3 boss fights, and if you get a game over, you need to play the whole thing again.
    THIS is where the game falls into "NES hard" territory. It was very good until then, but I had to use save states in level 8 between the different sections to beat the game.
    I feel like my usage of states was in the spirit of the game up until that point, so it's all good as far as I'm concerned, but I'd never recommend this game to someone playing on real hardware.

    When I was a kid, I saved up, and had exactly enough money to get one game... I chose this game, and I was kinda of mad. I had heard a lot about it and how cutting edge it was supposed to be, but I was a kid so I was also stupid, and there was no internet. One reason the game didn't deliver is that as you mentioned, it wasn't violent enough to be remotely satisfying. You don't have an attack. All you can do is throw candy, and it doesn't do anything except get you your friendly animal pajamas. Those are heavily scripted, linear, etc, as you also mentioned, and well. In short, it sucks, has great music and graphics for the time, and also as mentioned it sucks. It's not a fun game, but more like a task list - a chore. At the time, I had spent all my money on this game, and so I did put time into it, played it, beat it, etc. Still, it's not worth it today, and it wasn't then. It's not a fun game. It's a chore. I wanted to say that again, in case anyone missed it. It's not a fun game. It's a task list. I played it for many hours, knowing I would not have enough money to get any other game for quite some time, as I'd just wasted it all on this turd. Back then if you bought a game and it sucked, you were just out of luck. This game gets me 'nostalgic angry', like Dinowars and Ice Climber.
