This game stays very true to its source material while also parodying it: I loved the entering in a password intro to start the game, as well as the silly but reverent references to NES era beat-em-ups. This game has been something I've been looking forward to for a long time, and it delivered exactly what I was hoping for. Slap-happy brawls and goofy fighting abounds. There are a few issues I've noticed: there is some odd slow-down in parts with heavy animation, which strikes me as odd as this isn't a particularly taxing game. Additionally, on the onset, fighting is basic and sometimes frustrating, as your character will stand and just take a beating if you get locked into it. However, these problems alleviate themselves pretty quickly, and on the whole I would recommend this game to anybody looking for a modern beat-em-up with an NES feel.
