I didn’t play this on Wii yet for some reason there’s no option to selected nes as the platform.

ANYWAYS this games a lot of fun and one of the action greats on the nes…..also it sucks and I hate it. Ok let’s just get this out the way there’s A LOT of bullshit in this game. Seriously the enemy placement is a mixed bag and the further you get into the game the more you’ll be pissed off by it. Especially the respawning enemies. Thankfully this game is the most manageable of the trilogy meaning you can actually enjoy the good parts of the series. The fast paced kinetic action and the precise combat. Everything in this game requires just the right timing to get through and getting to the point where you’re speeding through levels slashing up enemies while wall jumping and timing your hits just right is so satisfying. This game is brutal and at times unfair but its gameplay is thankfully rewarding enough to push you forward. The story and cutscene presentation is very solid too. I can admire the attempt here a lot and even today some of the sequences really stick with you and gives you motivation to keep you going. Even if In many ways it’s just a cheesy anime or action plot and can be a bit generic for what it is I think it was done very well.
