Sometimes the timing of NES releases gets a little weird, you know? Like the way we had two "castle" games last week. Now, this week, we have two games based on the same source material arriving in the U.S. at the same time. Both of them have their own personalities, to be fair, and both fail to establish themselves as timeless classics in completely different ways. It's just one of those things, I guess.
