Balloon Fight

Nintendo Famicom Disk System - Unreleased

Like several other early Famicom games, there were plans to re-release Balloon Fight for the Famicom Disk System. However, this version was never released. Although several other Disk System versions of Famicom games were closer to their Vs. System counterparts, the Disk version of Balloon Fight would have been just an updated revision of the home version. Although the game was never advertised or displayed publicly, the leaked prototype has a handful of differences from the original: - In Balloon Trip mode, the glitch which caused the ranking to start from 47 instead of 50 has been fixed. - The sounds made by the Balloon Birds no longer has a randomized pitch, and is always at a very high pitch. This may be unintentional. - A high pitched trill sound is added to the sound of the Balloon Fish coming out of the water. - The "game over" jingle no longer has the noise burst at the very last note. Although it seems this version was meant to fix bugs in the game, it did not fix everything. The vertical speed conservation, player 2 disadvantage, and underwater travel glitches all remain in the game. It is possible that they were not caught, hadn't had a fix implemented before development ended, or were simply not deemed important enough to fix. There are also no changes to the game graphically, so anomalies like the reversed colors in the turning/skidding sprite remain.

During the bonus phase, you are asked to collect as many balloons as you can within the given time limit. There are 16 unique phases, though in each phase they repeat their basic design until you beat the level. Some levels have areas where balloon or spark placement is randomly generated. After every 8 stages, you'll enter a boss phase. During these stages, your goal is to dodge all of the Sparks that the boss throws at you. If you do so successfully, you can nab him and put him into prison. The goal of the game is to both beat it and acquire as many points as you can.

Bomb Sweeper

Nintendo Game & Watch - Released - June 15, 1987

Bomb Sweeper is a Game & Watch game released as part of the Multi-Screen series on June 15, 1987. It is a vertical multi-screen single-player Game & Watch. It opens like a compact, with an upper and lower screen. The game was never released in Japan. Using the D-pad to move John Solver, you must reach at least one of the bombs hidden in the walls to clear the screen and receive a bonus for the time remaining. The only obstacles in your path are the walls, which you must either manoeuvre around or push them along provided there is no obstruction in the way. Some levels are a test of speed; others are a test of logic and intelligence. Game A consists of a set sequence of maze layouts. These range from a maze requiring no wall-pushing to mazes where you must carefully choose which walls to move to reach the bombs. There is a constant 40-second time limit to each level. Every 10 levels you will enter a scrolling maze where you must avoid getting squashed by the advancing walls until you reach the bomb at the end. Whilst the generous time limit means you can rack up a very high score on this mode, the levels do get more and more devious and testing as you progress. This mode is for the logically minded player. Game B consists of a number of maze layouts, each level is chosen at random from the set. The levels are generally very straightforward and good players can complete each one in 2–4 seconds. The time limit begins at 40 seconds but steadily reduces as you progress, until you are left with just 4 seconds for each level. However, this mode is potentially never-ending, thus the highest scores are possible. However, as there is no pause button, there is no rest and your reactions will be tested. This mode is definitely for the quick-thinking player.

Hikari Shinwa: Palthena no Kagami

Nintendo Famicom Disk System - Released - December 18, 1986

In a time where humans and gods coexisted in harmony, the kingdom of Angel Land was ruled by two goddesses, Palutena the Goddess of Light and Medusa the Goddess of Darkness. While Palutena administered the light and helped the mortals cultivate their crops, Medusa despised the mortals and used the darkness to destroy their crops and turn the mortals into stone. Enraged, Palutena transformed Medusa into a hideous monster and banished her into the dark Underworld. But Medusa would not go quietly. She assembled an army of monsters and evil spirits of the underworld to conquer Palutena's home, the Palace in the Sky. War erupted and Medusa's minions overwhelmed Palutena's army, eventually imprisoning the Goddess of Light. Medusa then seized the Three Sacred Treasures—the Mirror Shield, the Arrow of Light, and the Wings of Pegasus—and gave them to her most powerful minions. Defeated and imprisoned, Palutena's only hope was to seek the help of Pit, a young angel trapped in the Underworld. Using the last of her strength, she sent Pit a magical bow. Thus, Pit set out on a quest to escape the Underworld, retrieve the Sacred Treasures that would help him defeat Medusa, and rescue Palutena and restore peace to Angel Land. The original Famicom Disk System versions feature save slots, unlike the North American version which uses a password system (known in-game as "Sacred Words").

The players control Thomas, the titular Kung-Fu Master, as he fights his way through the five levels of the Devil's Temple in order to rescue his girlfriend Sylvia from the mysterious crime boss Mr. X. Kung-Fu Master is regarded as the first beat 'em up video game. It had a NES port titled Kung Fu, which sold 3.5 million cartridges.

Mario earns a point each time he empties a load of cement from the upper hopper and two points each time he empties a load from the lower hopper. Each container can hold only three loads of cement. Allowing the containers to overflow causes cement to spill down onto the workers, hurting them and giving Mario one miss. Falling off an elevator platform also earns a miss, as well as touching the very top of the screen and getting crushed by an elevator platform, or touching the very bottom and getting shocked by the floor of the elevator. In all versions of the game, there is an area on the lowermost portion of the elevator that Mario can use to save himself from touching the very bottom and getting shocked. On the Table Top version, there is a similar area on the uppermost portion of the elevator. This does not appear on any other version of the game. If Mario gets 300 points without any misses, the points will be worth double until he does get a miss. If he has any misses at said score, all misses will be cleared instead.

Vs. Duck Hunt

Arcade - Released - 1985

Duck Hunt is a shooting simulation where the player goes out with his faithful dogs to hunt ducks. It requires the use of the Zapper light gun. In game modes A and B, players view a swampland from a first-person perspective. The dog scares the ducks out of the swamp, one at a time in mode A or two at a time in mode B. The ducks go flying around in the air and the player has three shots and a limited amount of time to shoot the ducks before they fly away. Each round only allows a limited number of misses in order to move on successfully. As the rounds progress, the ducks begin flying faster and faster, and fewer misses are allowed. In game mode A, a second player can control the movement of the duck using a controller plugged into port 2. Mode C features target practice on clay pigeons rather than ducks. The perspective and rules here are the same, with only three shots to destroy two clay pigeons before they disappear off the horizon.

Vs. Excitebike

Vs. Excitebike was produced by Nintendo in 1984. A dirt bike game. The player navigates a bike over hills and around competitors. The game starts with a qualifying race, where the player is the only bike on the track. The player must navigate over hills, jumps, hay bails, and other obstacles in a set amount of time to qualify for the next race. The course scrolls right to left and the view is from a slightly elevated angle to allow for 3-D. The player moves up and down left to right on the track with the joystick. Moving the stick left is like pulling up on the handlebars, producing a wheelie. Moving the stick right or left in the air will change the attitude of the bike, controlling what angle it will be at during landing. Ideally, this should match the angle of the ground during landing. Button B controls turbo. The engine will overheat if this is kept on too long. At this time, the player should use normal acceleration with button A. There are arrows on the track that will cool off the engine when the player runs over them. If the player qualifies, the next race will be the same track with competitors. If the player places in the top five, the next race will be a qualifier on another track and so on. Landing wrong, too big of a wheelie, running over a hay bail while not in a wheelie, or colliding with a competitor will cause a crash. There is no limit to the number of crashes, but it costs time. Overheating the engine will also just cost time. The game is over when the player fails to qualify.

Nintendo GameCube - Released - April 6, 2004

Following the almost universally acclaimed short-attention-span action of the Game Boy Advance's WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! comes this party-game adaptation for GameCube. Many of the mini-games featured in the handheld original have been converted for four-player competition on the console. Gamers strive to be the quickest teeth-brushers, the most precise nose pickers, the best free-throwers, the most accurate apple shooters, the most skillful paper-airplane pilots, and the victors in countless other quick contests that take no more than a few seconds to complete. As in the GBA original, a wide variety of activities combine with a simple, unifying theme, for an experience designed to appeal instantly to anyone who played video games in the days before 3D graphics and complicated storylines. Half the fun is in not knowing which five-second challenge will pop up next, or what the player will be required to do in it. Even when players aren't in control of the active character, some of the mini-games allow them to participate in a more passive fashion, adding to the group-oriented strategy.

Zelda

Nintendo Game & Watch - Released - August 26, 1989

The Zelda Game & Watch (model number ZL-65) is a multi-screen Game & Watch system developed by Nintendo and released in North America in 1989. Its gameplay was heavily inspired by Nintendo Entertainment System game Zelda II: Adventure of Link, and it featured an original story described on the manual. Unlike the other LCD games, this was made by Nintendo and appeared on a Nintendo platform. The handheld console would be Nintendo's penultimate release before the release of the Game Boy (the last being Mario The Juggler). Players control Link and fight through labyrinth chambers on the Game & Watch's lower screen. In the labyrinth chambers, Link faces Poe-like Ghosts, up to four Stalfoses, and a Moblin-like Goblin mini-boss. Stalfoses and Ghosts cannot be defeated and must be dodged and blocked with the shield respectively. The Goblin must be killed in order to complete the lower-screen labyrinth. Once the Labyrinth is complete, stairs appear and the action shifts to the Dragon's Lair in the upper screen. Here Link battles a dragon on the right hand side of the screen while avoiding its fire and tail attacks. The left hand side of the screen displays the dungeon map and items such as the Tomahawk item—unique to this game—that Link gains while fighting the dragon. Upon defeating the dragon, the game starts again with quicker enemies and retaining the player's high score. This Game & Watch game also features a continue button that allows players to continue the game in the event of the player's death.
