    This game is everything a retro gamer is looking for. If you enjoy NES or SNES games like Mega Man or Duck-tales you will love this game.

    Got it for a great price and it is just as fun as those old famicom classics. That can even compete with modern day games.

    This game is cheap and an awesome side scroller. Has an old school feel definitely worth grabbing and get the amiibo as well!

    Despite the simplistic graphics they are sharp and look great, animation is also fluid and the challenge factor is high as homage to the difficult games of the late 80s.

    This game is tough, just like an old NES game. This is the closest thing to a new release for a system from the 80s that you can get at a retail store.
