NES Works Gaiden #33: Wrecking Crew / Hyper Olympic / Spartan-X
🕑 Added 2022-03-09 14:00:27 +0000 UTCYou already know these games under their American titles: Track & Field, Kung-Fu, and, uh, Wrecking Crew. I have to admit I went into this episode with deep concern that I was about to put together a repetitive restatement of previously published information of no real value to anyone—and yet, here we are, with an episode that (I think?) actually stands completely apart from these games' respective NES Works videos and helps to recontextualize them in an interesting way!
Well, I thought it was interesting, anyway.

Hey to be fair to the hypershot controller, it also works with 2 games just like ROB does. hyper Olympic AND hyper sports. (Doesn't work with track and field 2 though)

As a teenager I began to get jaded by the N64's releases, and Wrecking Crew was always special to me cos it was the first time I bought a used NES game with collecting in mind. It was my retro "gateway drug" or whatever. Maybe that sounds goofy, but at the very least, there's a certain line you cross when you go from "kid whose parents buy you new/sealed/complete games on release" to "teen buying used, loose cartridges with your own money".
