Ronin's Retrocade: Suckerpunch Sunday #18 - Bad Street Brawler (NES)
1Little did I know as a pre-teen kid back in 1989, that I had a ringside seat to one of the biggest fads in the history of gaming, when a school friend unwrapped the Power Glove at his 12th birthday party.
For the next 12 months, kids EVERYWHERE pestered their parents for one, only to find out it was both a badly designed and ostensibly useless piece of gear that was made for nothing else than a toy company to get a cut of Nintendo's massive success from the NES through the late 80s.
Along with the Power Glove, Mattel hoped to capitalize on games that supported it. One of which was a fighting game with a premise that was so ridiculous, and gameplay that's so terrible, it definitely lived up to the moniker of 'BAD.'
This week, we decided to play this trainwreck of a game, so you don't have to. It's 'Bad Street Brawler', and boy am I glad I never spent money on this POS!
