ohhh shit, son... I used to love that game. It's supposedly canon in Street Fighter lore too.

Swordmaster is one of those NES games that I feel like could be mislabeled in a bargain bin because of its generic name.

My only hope of owning a copy with its price these days.

There's other environments not show in that collage, like caves and man-built interiors.

I forgot how good Ninja Gaiden III looked. Too bad its gameplay is the weakest of the trilogy.

It's amazing how you can tell whether an NES game is an early or late title based on how much they use the color black.

I find the most aesthetically good games that was ported to NES from other systems by bootlegs, shit like Street Fighter Alpha 2, Shinobi 3 or Final Fight 3.

It's not even that Ninja Gaiden 3's gameplay is weak per se, it is still an excellent platformer by NES standards.
it just is not Ninja Gaiden at all. It is so incredibly obvious that they tried turning it into Strider.

Rad Racer's night stages is were it's at.

But RR2's evening stage is even better.

This game looks fantastic and the main character sprite is really impressive. That said, like Kira Kira Star Night this game doesn't have a whole lot to it.

Robocops has a dirty future look. The game I wanted to post I can't remember the name of but it started off with a derelict cityscape using an autoscoller. Rareware games also have weird looking faces in their games such as one of the enemies in wizards and warriors.

true, however iii would be really fucking good if the movement and attacks weren't so strange in motion also the difficulty is fucking unreal. how hard would this be to accomplish?

Seeing all the things these mods/hacks have achieved, I would say not hard at all

Not really, it's just a gotta protectors spinoff. I'm just glad people are still making NES games.

Also made by professionals, no less. I think Steins Gate 8-Bit would count as the newest "official" NES release, since it's an NES ROM with a built in emulator that was released on the eShop.

I'm interested in this. Was the rom ever dumped?

I own it. It's a very solid ARPG. Crystalis is its only contemporary on the NES. It can also be knocked out in 8 hours so it doesn't overstay its welcome in the slightest.
