Currently Playing: It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, ’Martigan: Willow & U-Force | NES Works 173

And here we go: the final licensed NES release for 1989. We did it! We made it through the year. And I've saved one of the best for last. Willow from Capcom is the Zelda sequel that a lot of NES fans wanted over Zelda II: a top-down action game with role-playing elements and just a l'il touch of storytelling. In fact, it's so Zelda-like that you'll eventually see a lot of elements that appear here as components of A Link to the Past. Also, one more godawful gimmick controller for the road. Sorry about that. Please support this documentation project through Patreon (www.patreon.com/gamespite ) or by picking up some of the related books (www.limitedrungames.com/collections/books). AND you can preorder Metroidvania: The First Decade from a fine book chain or comic shop, such as B&N (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-history-of-metroidvania-jeremy-parish/1148489848 ). Thanks!
