Well, I at least recognise the polar bear with the shades from Smash! Forget jumping accurately on small platforms or moving clouds… I’m just glad you can fail the bonus stage on the peaks, otherwise I’d never get past the first level! So frustrating… The jumping… Oh my God the jumping… It’s so bad! You jump in a very slow manner, and if you jump in one direction then it’s incredibly hard to judge where you’re going to land. Occasionally you’ll get slippery ice, and as you progress you’ll also get moving clouds that you have to jump on, which brings me to my main problem… Once your reach the peak you have 40 seconds to grab as many vegetables as you can, and for big points, jump up and grab the flying condor. You can use the mallet to attack the variety of enemies that stand in your way, though it only stuns them and sends them backwards, rather than getting rid of them permanently. You control your Ice Climber (Popo if you’re Player One, Nana if you’re Player Two) and start at the bottom of a mountain, which is just a series of eight platforms and a peak, and you have to use your mallet to break upwards through the layers to reach the top. The game, thanks to being an early “black box” NES release, has seen its fair share of re-releases over the years, mainly on virtual console. Europe got the “pleasure” September 1 st 1986. Ice Climber was released in Japan on January 30 th 1985, with a US release on October 18 th that same year. Not the most exciting screenshot… I mean, not the most exciting game in general, really… Those short bursts didn’t convince me that the game was any good, and playing the full game now for this review certainly confirmed it… At least the Switch Online service meant I didn’t have to pay for the “Privilege”! Let’s take a look, shall we? I never played it growing up, Popo and Nana, the Ice Climbers, appearing in Melee was my first exposure to the series, and I didn’t even get round to properly playing it in any fashion until the mini-game collection known as “NES Remix” came out on the Wii U. We hope you enjoy this game and give us a great review.Man oh man, do I ever dislike Ice Climber. We are a small indie group of devs who love building fun experiences.
