After last week's utterly enormous Mega Man 2 retrospective, I wanted to dial things down to a more manageable length for this episode and decided to hold on to the backup title (California Games) for another time. But wouldn't you know it, this still ended up being a pretty long and involved video.

I guess I shouldn't complain that we're in the midst of a patch of interesting and generally good releases for NES, though. Do you want Airwolfs? Because that's how you get Airwolfs.

He balls nasty: Super Dodge Ball | NES Works 128

Weird sequels were kind of the NES's thing. Just look at how different Zelda II and Super Mario Bros. 2 were from the games that preceded (and followed!) them. But Super Dodge Ball may just take the prize. Whatever you might have expected from the true follow-up to Renegade... it wasn't this.
