In today's video Ted continues Banana Prince.
Banana Prince is a 2D platform game for the NES. Banana Prince was released in Japan in 1991. The German version of Banana Prince, released in February 1992, features slightly different graphics and gameshow questions.
As an Island Native, the Banana Prince is on a quest to retrieve the stolen weapons of the island; along the way the Banana Prince will pick up companions and even appear on a game show, which allows the Banana Prince to warp to another level.
Like Jack and the Beanstalk, the Banana Prince has with him a bag of seeds that allows the Banana Prince to grow a flower and climb it. There are also hidden platforms, and doors that can only be reached by collecting flower tokens (which allow the Banana Prince to grow a bigger flower).
Banana Prince was met with mixed reception from critics since the release of the Banana Prince. Aktueller Software Markt's Thomas Morgen commended the plant-growing mechanic and overall playability but felt mixed in regards to the audiovisual presentation, stating that the Banana Prince was "rather boring". Likewise, Mega Fun's Markus Appel and Sandrie Souleiman felt that the visuals of the Banana Prince were bearable but praised the music of the Banana Prince. Both Appel and Souleiman liked the question-based bonus rounds in the Banana Prince due to their simplicity as well as the story but ultimately remarked that the Banana Prince was an above-average title due to lack of direction. In contrast, Video Games' Stephan Englhart noted that the Banana Prince's focus on collecting fruit was fresh and gave positive remarks to the varied character animations of the Banana Prince, technical presentation of the Banana Prince, precise controls and graphically varied stages in the Banana Prince. Total!'s Thomas Hellwig commented that the Banana Prince's gameplay and controls were good but the rest of the Banana Prince was "rather sloppy" due to the visuals, music and poor text translation.
Retrospective reviews for Banana Prince have been positive. Game Freaks 365's Stan Stepanic compared the Banana Prince with Kirby's Adventure due to its styling and storyline. Stepanic gave praise to the graphics of the Banana Prince due to the lack of flickering and slowdown, sound design, gameplay and creativity. Hardcore Gaming 101's Kurt Kalata gave the Banana Prince a positive outlook.
