1990s Critics Review Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus, Rygar, Xevious, Soccer & More (Nintendo Switch Online)
76Over the last nine months, we’ve been going back to the early days of the Nintendo Switch Online in order to give every game in the library the Review Crew treatment. As it stands today, there are only fifteen games left to be covered, all for the Nintendo Entertainment System. These include some of the system’s earliest games, most of which were released in that review dead zone, when finding a review score was about as likely as capturing a picture of Bigfoot while riding a unicorn.
Of the fifteen games we still need to cover, nine of them were only reviewed by one magazine. That publication was Nintendo Magazine System, which was nice enough to offer up capsule reviews for many of these early games in their first issue. Instead of resorting to our usual format, I want to very quickly go through all nine of the remaining NES games reviewed by Nintendo Magazine System. This includes early classics like Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, Rygar, Kid Icarus and a whole lot more. I apologize in advance for the low-quality scans, but it’s the best I could do for this special episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
