Ice Climber & Balloon Fight with shrooby!
30Today's Wednesday, so I get to upload whatever I want! So, for today's Whatever Wednesday video, I bring you the multiplayer modes of two NES classics: Ice Climber and Balloon Fight!
While Ice Climber isn't the most critically acclaimed game, it is a game that has sparked my interest ever since I saw the Ice Climbers as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. The game featured co-op, and for its time, that was really impressive. So, I figured that I should one-day record the co-op mode of the game! And I was finally able to do so once shrooby came over to my house one morning! I had downloaded Ice Climber onto my Wii U as one of Nintendo's 2014 "Club Nintendo Rewards," so the game was just sitting on my Wii U.
Balloon Fight was another game that happened to be sitting on my Wii U. I believe that I purchased it when Nintendo was first starting off their new Virtual Console service when they were offering a variety of games for 30 cents. Similarly to Ice Climber, this game featured co-op play, and for its time, this was another impressive title. Coincidentally, a song from Balloon Fight plays on an Ice Climber stage in Super Smash Bros., so I guess that that makes it okay for us to play both Ice Climber and Balloon Fight in the same video!
As you can see in this video, shrooby and I considered playing both Ice Climber and Balloon Fight. But, rather than making two separate videos, we just decided to play both games and put them in the same video. So, hopefully that makes the video more entertaining and interesting!
Thank you, and enjoy! ;)
