I'm seeing a huge similiarity in that terrain design to the "donut" levels in Super Mario World, anyone else???

I immediately thought of SMW upon looking at the screenshot, as well.

Ah, no! Spiritual Warfare was an excellent Zelda clone. The rest... I agree.

And this looks interesting, time to track down a ROM dump.

Sarge out.

Me too, I thought it was going to be about a sprite hack for SMW

It's not the most original take on the platformer genre, but it does appear to be exceptionally well done, especially for an unknown development house.

I wouldd have expected a game of this calibre to have come from a the likes of Hudson or Sunsoft, or maybe one of the Capcom B-teams.

Somehow I doubt that Nintendo will allow unlicensed games to appear on its Virtual Console.

Don't get me wrong, some of the best NES games were unlicensed Tengen games. (I had copies of "Tetris" and "After Burner" myself.) I just don't think that Nintendo is willing to swallow its pride and say that these are NES games.

If the money is there, Nintendo won't scoff at the idea. They don't have to call it an NES game. They can just call it an original VC title or something.

As the youtube description says, it looks like a rip-off hybrid of Super Mario and Looney Toons for the NES. That was a great game.

Chalk up another one

Maybe Nintendo stole (or borrowed, whatever) this games ideas for level designs for Super Mario World, because that is definitely too similar (that thing above the character's head also looks like a Cape Feather, right?)

Wow, the last boss is some sort of large reptilian that shoots fire? HOLY MOSES, It's REVOLUTIONARY.

I would laugh if it wasn't a black kung-fu Mario with a fro.

Seriously, there were "?" boxes.

It's like playing every single platformer ever. On weed.

It's actually part of a series of "Virtual Console Alternatives", not "super-obscure games that should come to the Wii's virtual console". Nobody in their right mind would want to see what's about to be unleashed on the virtual console, much less pay for it. :)

The sound effects are completly ripped from Konami games. Almost all of them are form Tiny Toon Adventures for the NES.
