I didn't really exist throughout the NES era (or even when this project started development), so I don't really understand all of the references to more obscure stuff that pretty much only the die-hard NES fans would remember.
I also don't particularly care, because you Good Fellows managed to make a damn good game as a love letter to the series. It's fun to play, and it keeps itself fresh during its short span of time with every level playing quite differently outside of the one rule of kill everything you see as you reach the end.
It's quite dope, I remembered loving it years ago when I first played it and it still holds up well today. I should really try to get all of the achievements one of these days, you guys packed the game with so much to do that I'm pretty sure I only scrapped the bottom of the barrel here in terms of all the stuff there is to see. Whatever it is you guys are doing now, I'm looking forward to it! This shit makes me wish I was as talented and dedicated as you folks, but that's not gonna happen for now at least.
SEE YOU NEXT GAME!
