[@DannyP-dm1pw]

I will add that the Gremlins 2 Gameboy game they did has great music too. That's the one I had as a kid.

[@NintendoComplete]

Here's the other licensed pick I thought would make for a good look today, and it's right up there with the rest of Sunsoft's greats on the NES.

[@notchunglingsu7014]

My favorite NES game.

[@9b8ll]

This is a really good nes game

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

One of my faves in all the NES library. The soundtrack is so great too. Happy Halloween!

[@rjcupid]

The item/pause screen for this game is awesome. Gizmo standing amongst palm trees holding his weapon of choice. The pogo stick invincibility is great too.

[@BB-te8tc]

Legitimately my favourite movie, even today. Needless to say this was a frequent rental as a kid.

[@adamchapman3358]

My favorite scene is when the high intellectual gremlin is on the talk show and hes going on and on about how all the gremlins want is civilization and all it's benifits. Then a low iq gremlin interrupts interview with a propeller hat on. The high iq gremlin nonchalantly turns to him and pulls out gun and shoots him in the face. Then he turns back to camera and says casually "now you see that wasn't civilized, entertaining Yes, civilized No"

[@Sinn0100]

I do not share your sentiments here. I loved the first Gremlins film. It was equal parts funny as it was terrifying. That scene with them hiding in the Christmas tree with knives waiting for Billy's mother was pure nightmare fuel for a 7 year old. The bar scene where we learn that Gremlins can operate firearms was also a whoa moment. That damn chainsaw...Billlllyyyy... The second film was just...the director/writers tried to make Gremlins 2 a comedy above all else. By doing so they murdered the franchise. There is no part in the second film that comes close to the conflict and levels of drama the first hits. Addendum- My fiancee is 10 years younger than me and she missed so many great films/games. She started gaming with the PS2 for example. I am slowly rectifying this problem. This past Halloween we watched both Gremlin films back-to-back and there just isn't any comparison. I'm asking you as an adult to try watching them like I did again and I'm sure you will see what I'm talking about.

[@DannyP-dm1pw]

@@Sinn0100 You sound controlling. Like you are forcing your fiancée to see things because you are mad she is 10 years younger than you and didn't grow up when you did. Then you are trying to alter someone's opinion because it is their favorite movie and not yours. Meanwhile he never knocked the first one at all just stated the 2nd one is his favorite movie maybe due to nostalgia and the memories it brings him as a kid. I hope you have a lot of money to make that young girlfriend of yours happy because personality wise got some work to do there with social skills and how to relate and communicate with people.

This is my favorite Sunsoft game and one of the best NES soundtracks. Being able to play as the beloved Gizmo is so great. I saw Gremlins 2 at a drive-in…those were the days.

[@krokosmakron1]

The music is very similar to another Sunsoft game Ufouria: The Saga. Also a really good game

This game was AWESOME back in the day but couldn’t beat it without The Game Genie. Seeing this game brought back memories not only for the game but the Movie itself.

Such a great NES game -- one of the few I was able to play all the way through, back in the day. Great adaptation of the movie and terrific soundtrack. Sweet memories of playing this game with my oldest child when he was just a little guy.

[@bigduke5902]

You're totally right about there seemingly being one good licensed game for every bad one at this time. I roll my eyes whenever some puke on the internet casually states "all licensed games suck" or something like that when I remember it being pretty even handed. The internet really does a great job of demonstrating that if something is funny then that means it's true.

[@lukeb247]

Loved this game. Gizmo is so adorable and the soundtrack is fire

[@stevenray8737]

I remember seeing the film in the cinema( I was 10 years old in 1990 ) and it was an absolute riot. And yes, the audience reaction was priceless when the film "broke"! This game was pretty good for its time although it did feel like the brutal parts of the most evil of Zelda dungeons. Stranglely enough, I got G2 and Zelda 2 both for Christmas one year and I can honestly say that they both turned me into a damn good gamer; I beat them both but not after getting my ass kicked so many times! You have to pay your dues! Your playthrough is as relentless as the game itself. Well played!

[@stezton]

The music is a toe tapper. The cutscenes are really great artwork, too.

[@wtos9153]

A 3D platformer on the NES? Amazing! Well, if the jumping is enough of a dimension. After watching more, I’m realizing that the levels are 2D data (like Doom!)

This game is amazing but hard as balls though. Sunsoft knew how to make good games and OSTs back then.

[@martinnilsson2341]

​@@UmVtCgyeah, compared to most nes games this is a breeze

[@Phantom.Gaming64]

Another case of a excellent movie licensed game, but boy is it hard. In typical SunSoft fashion early levels are like a tutorial to make you get used to how the game plays, and then kicks the difficulty to high gear when you reach the final stages.

[@Dorian_Scott]

Seen the first movie, but not the second. Never played this game, either. But it looks like Sunsoft made yet another quality NES game. The graphics are really good and that soundtrack is especially great.

[@DannyP-dm1pw]

Konami and Capcom were my favorite developers as a kid looking back at all the games I loved from them on the Gameboy and Super Nintendo (i didn't have much on the NES outside of Tecmo Bowl to have have child nostalgia) but Sunsoft is right there. Had a few solid sunsoft games on gameboy.

[@TheNei]

Very Nice game! Cheers from Brazil

[@RedPolarBearRanger]

This game is very faithful to the movie as the levels are based around the Clamp tower. Along with the cutscenes, even though I wish Daffy was a boss in this game which stinks he’s limited to the cutscenes, Mr. Wing who you buy items from in the game is dead at this point in the movie & was Gizmo’s original owner before Billy found him again, and lastly Gizmo only fought Mohawk in the movie the others were killed by the human characters throughout the movie including the Electric Gremlin.

[@retrobear9367]

Funny how the artstyle is an asset copy of the Blaster Master boss stages. Sunsoft at its purest. :-)

[@AngryCalvin]

The only really good movie games I ever played were from Sunsoft. Batman and Gremlins 2 were big surprises when I rented them back in the day. Usually movie games are beyond terrible. Home Alone was the worst NES game ever made. LJN games were complete trash. Gremlins 2 was not only good but it was fun and original. It had good graphics and I really liked the gameplay and mechanics. It didn’t feel like a manufactured clone of another game. It was unique. Not only impressive for a movie game but just a really good game.

I hated the second Gremlins film with a blind passion. The first movie had equal parts humor and pure horror. The Gremlins were evil, mean, vicious, and scared me to death at 7 years old. That scene with them hiding in the Christmas tree with those orange eyes and knives was pure nightmare fuel. Nothing in the second film comes even close. Which is why I never wanted anything to do with the game. I also had the displeasure of playing a Gremlins game on an Atari something and I hated it almost as bad as the second film. Unfortunately, I missed out on Gremlins 2 for the Nes. I honestly think it is the best looking retail release game ever made. They even nailed the film segments on an Nes cart! It's like what am I even seeing?! ;)

There were no bouncing tomatoes and Gizmo didn't throw whatever that is he appears to be throwing. This game was garbage, in my eyes. I had a general rule: games based on movies sucked, and movies based on games sucked. There were a few exceptions, but that rule was very true, the majority of the time.

I LOVE this game! Gremlins 2 is _awesome._ It's one of my favorite NES games of all time. Sunsoft were a great developer throughout the era, making some really enjoyable and innovative games with a noticeable style shared between each of their works. In that way, I like to think of them as sort of the Treasure of the 8-bit era. It helps that they had a fondness for shooting-type games. This and Batman are two great examples of licensed games done with heart. ...Although I'm very nostalgia-biased for Gizmo's adventure. As a long-time fan of the Gremlins movies, I just can't get over this game. An 8-bit masterpiece!
