Notes on NES Games

I've rebought a Twin Famicom after having sold it and all my other NES stuff a decade ago. So I've been looking at Fami games again and picking out a few things I still would like to have.

Key: Title, Format, Other systems ↲ Note ↲ Note2

Aussie Rules Footy


アトランチスの謎¹⁾

There's an unfinished NES port that was going to be titled Super Pitfall II

ハローキティワールド²⁾
Hello Kitty themed port of the Game Boy game Balloon Kid, which is a fancy version of the original Balloon Fight's Balloon Trip mode.

ハローキティーのおはなばたけ³⁾
Platformer where you have to water a bunch of slowers to complees stages. Watering each flower takes a few seconds. Kinda neat, but gets a bit repetitive.

Life Force / Salamander
…
I think the only regional difference is that the Famicom version lets you use more options

Lost Word of Jenny
Has one of the best main character sprites on the system. Some of the stages are really cool. I like the big flower one.

Rampart
Famicom and NES versions are completely different games. NES is a straight arcade port, Famicom one is by Konami and features different cute graphics and level themes like tanks, animals, ninja, …

Route-16 Turbo
Adventure game where you're a car. A bit like Venture, you move between a big map and smaller ones trying to pickup treasures and avoid enemies. Really cool.

オトッキー	Disk
Famous early music games by Toshio Iwai. Like Rez, shots are quantised to the beat, so you create music as a you play a shooter.

Pinball Quest


Wario’s Woods	Cart	also on: GC (in Animal Crossing) SNES, Switch, Wii
Mostly played this in Animal Crossing. It's a really solid puzzle game where you have to move things around with Toad.

Zanac
Fast, smooth shooter from Compile. Really good. Price in 2023 still isn't bonkers either.

Pirate Carts

酷孩198合1遊戏卡⁴⁾
Good selection of games. Highlights are Life Force, Kick Master, Gun Nac, Guerilla War, Summer Carnival '92 Recca, Jackal.
