Just how? What happened there?
It's as if Nintendo or Capcom made a shitty Mario or Mega Man game for consoles and then released a great version of it on fricking amiga.

    The NES version was the original version, and the PC versions were ported by different companies
    It would be more like Capcom making an unusually good PC game and then a random unknown company badly porting it to NES

    also why did they even make McKids for the NES in 1992

      McDonalds seemed interested in video games around that time for whatever reason. It got weirdly lucky that both MCKids and Treasureland turned out to be awesome.

        I even found Donald Land kinda fun, although that might have been only Famicom, I can't remember.

      it was going to be packed in with happy meals back then, but then at the last moment mcdonalds decided not to and it left the game as a strange licensed title that was released wayyy into the nes's lifespan. The thing was that if it was packed in that would be a good thing for it to be on NES because that was what basically every household had.

    >Implying Capcom and Nintendo are good

    Mega Man #816 and Metroid/Kid Icarus/Ice Climbers shovelware isn't exactly great, let's just say that.

      Not a bad game, really. A lot of people criticize it, but I thought it was a good effort by SoA... maybe the only good effort. (Comix Zone was also interesting but I never liked the gameplay and how it's actually a point-and-click game masquerading as a beat 'em up/action game)

      It's a pretty comfy game, really.
      It was one of my favorite games as a kid.
      It wasn't released in UK? Maybe they should have tried with Chip n' Fries Kids kek

        it was technically released here but a NES just wasn't something you saw, honestly even SNES games were a novelty

    Lovely game, a nice surprise considering it's a fricking McD game.

    why did jams rolf give it a bad review?

      It wasn't James Rolfe, it was AVGN, a character played by James.
      And the Nerd actually said the game is pretty good at the end of the review, outside of some blind jumps in the later levels. The whole review was more about being perplexed at the fact it's a weird McD game, rather than shitting on the game itself.
