Alright, the chronicles of the NES library continue this week! Starting with... oh dear. It's our very first game published by a third-party, and it does not set a high bar for future prospects.

Well, we had a good run, right?

M.U.S.C.L.E. retrospective: It's third party and I'll cry if I want to | NES Works #027

The NES gets its very first game from a third-party publisher, and... it really makes you pine for relative classics like Urban Champion and Stack-Up. TOSE and Bandai assault the sense with this vaguely wrestling-like brawler based on the M.U.S.C.L.E. Things toyline and Kinnikuman anime. The Nintendo Seal of Quality finds itself stretched to the breaking point in its very first outing.
