---------------

Double feature this time. These games are so short that they fit well into one stream. Interestingly, Twitch has two categories for Power Blade II, but none for the first game. There is a category for Power Blazer though. I also called Power Blade II easier in the stream description but I died several times compared to the first game's none. The first death was just me trying to be cool and show that the very top of the fire doesn't kill you, but I mistimed it. The other deaths were me just straight up choking at the end.

Stream Description: Time for some good old NES stuff again. The Power Blade games are short, but solid fun. There's no category for the first game, only for the very different Japanese version of it (Power Blazer). Enjoy the excellent music by Kinuyo Yamashita.

-Power Blade-
The game's still a little jank, but it's a vast improvement over the original Power Blazer. The only difference between Normal and Expert is that Expert adds damage knockback, but it's very inconsistent and only really affects you in select few platforming sections.

-Power Blade 2-
Levels are more linear now, but the gameplay feels better and more varied. Still has some jank and it's arguably easier than the first game, but it's just as much or more fun than it.
