This is a big day, guys. The 1990 NES game  Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight just came out on the 3DS Virtual Console. I know that title might scare some of you: “I’m not much for historical fiction,” you’re saying right now.

But this game was actually intended as a stark depiction of the  future world of 2010. It also had virtually nothing to do with the Street Fighter  or Final Fight series. In fact, protagonist “Ken” was actually named “Kevin” in the Japanese version.

But none of that’s important! What’s important is that this is one of the coolest NES games  ever. Traverse multiple planets as an acrobatic cyborg, laying down the smack against eerie sci-fi backdrops. You’ll have to master a variety of thoughtful action mechanics, such as an evasive backflip with invincibility frames and a nuanced climbing mechanic. Save states have never been more welcome, lemme tell ya.

I hope people check this one out, and please let me know what you think!
