NES Works #119: Legacy of the Wizard
🕑 Added 2023-12-06 13:38:21 +0000 UTCIt's pretty easy to call games like Ninja Gaiden and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles major releases. They enjoyed plenty of hype leading up to their release, sold impressively, and continue to be fondly regarded by fans. Legacy of the Wizard, though? I don't really know where to pin this one. I feel like it's fared better in retrospect than it did at the time—especially given that, at the time, it became a universal markdown title, available at major retailers for $20 a few months after its debut.
I guess we'll see.
As a quick word of warning: Next week's episode will be atypical. You'll see what I mean when it happens.

The stark reminder that The Simpsons were airing well before the Super Nintendo was even on the horizon hits like a brick with this one. What an inventive and well-put-together game. Falcom's experience really shows here.
