New NES Game ‘Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril’ Brings The Latest In Mega Man & Metroid Retro Technology

I had an Atari when I was a kid, but I didn’t really become a gamer until I got an NES.  I played a ton of games on there, and thanks to Virtual Console I can be easily reminded how hard some of those games were.  Sivak Games is bringing back that feeling of anger and self hate with Battle Kid.

It’s basically Mega Man, with a spatter of Metroid looking monsters to me. I don’t have a demo of the game to give it a try but I’m told soon you can pick up your own cart at RetroZone.  To be honest though, I am terrible at Mega Man, which mean’s I’m probably even worse at Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril.  If you were the kid on your block that knew exactly where to jump and when, then you may want to pick this up.  You’ll find the video below awakening memories of sore thumbs and light depression.
