Modern Nintendo fans are about to get a taste of one of the most brutal games of the 8-bit era, as Nintendo Switch Online has added one of the hardest NES titles ever made.
The 8-bit era was home to some of the most challenging games of all time. This is due to the era of video game rentals, when it was in a publisher’s best interest for games to be too difficult to complete in a single sitting, so the challenge was ramped up to extreme levels.
10 Best NES Games With High Replay Value
Though there are plenty of amazing NES games, here are a handful with a bunch of replay value.
A new video on the official Nintendo UK YouTube channel has announced that four games have arrived on Nintendo Switch Online, with subscribers now able to play the NES version of Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos, and the Game Boy versions of Kid Icarus: Of Myth and Monsters and Bionic Commando. However, it’s the fourth game that’s making old-school fans sweat.
Battletoads Is Now Playable On Nintendo Switch Online
The NES version of Battletoads is now on Nintendo Switch Online. Battletoads is infamous for its torturous difficulty, possibly being the hardest video game of its era, if not all time.
So, why is Battletoads so difficult? Most people can’t get past the Turbo Tunnel, which is the game’s third stage. The player needs to memorize a race track and perfectly dodge all of its obstacles, all with pixel-perfect precision.
Battletoads is full of annoying racing sections, as well as brutal boss fights. To succeed, the player had to memorize pretty much the entire game, as failure wasn’t tolerated.
Nowadays, companies like FromSoftware profit from making hard games, but those games offer a plethora of ways to approach them. Battletoads requires mastery of the combat skills of a couple of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles knock-offs, which is harder than anything Elden Ring can throw at the player.
