Top 1. NES Games IGN. Developer. Data East. Released. If there was ever a more perfect title for an NES game, we dont know what it was Kid Niki Radical Ninja got it exactly right. Youve got Kid, first of all, which went ahead and put this adventure on the upper echelon alongside Kid Icarus, Casino Kid and Kid Klown in Night Mayor World. Then youve got Ninja, which summoned up the best emotions from Ninja Gaiden, the Ninja Turtles and Zen Intergalactic Ninja. Last, you throw Radical into the mix. Just to be extra cool, and to remind you youre still in the 8. And Kid Niki was indeed a radical adventure, starring a young ninja in training whose own princess rescuing adventure was set apart by two defining features his spiked out, punk rock hairstyle and his vicious spinning sword. Not content to just slash his foes to death, Niki had to slice and dice them with a whirlwind blade just to be that much more radical. Tubular stuff, Niki. The Great Migration Downloading. Totally bodacious to the maxAh, Kid Niki, with your crazy hair and your even wackier spinning sword. Youd think a sword that spins would hurt you, but it doesnt. While Niki is a game that hasnt aged as well as titles like Super Mario Bros., if you grew up with it, as I did, the nostalgia factor has you covered. Simple, straightforward side scrolling action, lots of baddies to send flying off the screen with a quick swipe of your blade, and stylish graphics for its time. I doubt anybody would rank the title in their top 1. Matt Casamassina, IGN Nintendo Editor in Chief.
