Good Nintentions #021: Popeye (Patreon)

Popeye retrospective: An echo of what might have been | Good Nintentions #021

A look into the history of a game that almost was something completely different, in a sense: Nintendo's Popeye, the held-over take on the arcade platformer that Donkey Kong was meant to be. Sort of. It's an interesting slice of Nintendo history, as we wrap the NES releases of the company's trio of Famicom launch titles.
