    Nintendo Entertainment System

    Platform »

    The NES, also known as Famicom, launched in 1983 in Japan and 1985 in North America, where the video game industry was headed downhill due to a deluge of poor games and over-saturation. Nintendo's second home console became an enormous success, establishing consoles as a mainstream market in Japan and pulling the North American industry back to its feet.

    This week we continue with Nintendo Power #2, and a few games that are somewhat controversial - or at least some views on a few games that would be considered controversial - particularly Castlevania II.

    Main Title: 'Jazz Plumber Trio' - Remixed by DJPretzel - http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00055/

    Closing Credits: 'The Accursed Seal' - Remixed by Sixto Sounds - http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01904/

    So, for some reason, Konami claimed copyright on the gameplay footage I recorded of Life Force for this video. Hopefully this won't get taken down, but if the video disappears from YouTube, you'll know why.

    Also, I am aware now that the Angry Video Game Nerd did a second review talking about Castlevania II where he gives an out-of-character perspective on the game (as the character of the Nerd is supposed to be angry), but I wasn't aware of that when I recorded the video.
