After releasing five games from Rare just one week ago, it’s another down week for the Nintendo Switch Online. That’s okay, because we still have a handful of Nintendo Entertainment System games that are in desperate need of getting the Review Crew treatment. This includes killer 8-bit hits like Ninja Gaiden, Balloon Fight and the oft-forgotten Vice: Project Doom. Yes, all of these games came to the Switch years ago, but I still need to ask: Are any of these games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of GamePro, Mean Machines, Computer & Video Games and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. Get ready to enjoy some early cut scenes, because this is a very cinematic episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
