What else can be said at this point? It's not only an important game for Nintendo but an important game for the entire video game industry. It's by far the most jam packed Famicom game when it released back in September 1985 and was more or less the last hurrah for Famicom cartridge games from Nintendo before moving to the Disk System (and we all know how that ended). Meanwhile in North America this game is credited for saving the video game industry which I personally think is a bit silly although there is some level of truth to that. As for the game itself, its still fun 35+ years later! This is the game that got me into retro gaming and I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't played this on original hardware when I was a kid. A timeless game that will never get old.
