The Checklist - Ice Climber

January 03, 2018 by Lachlan Marnoch in Reviews, The Checklist, Non-Fiction

Why it's on the list: Ice Climbers, despite being openly mocked at first, became my favourite characters in Super Smash Bros Brawl (and I was devastated when they didn't make it to the Wii U game!). So naturally, I had to check out their game.

How I played it: Using nestopia on my laptop with an Xbox One controller.

When I played it: November-ish 2016

How far I got: I finished the first couple of levels.

What I thought:

It's ok. Not my kind of platformer. There's not a whole lot else I can say about it - except that the soundtrack is pretty awesome, in an 8-bit jazz kind of way, and I like how they turned the levels into Smash Bros. stages.
