Startropics is a truly forgotten Nintendo game. Those who remember it may have forgotten that Nintendo developed it when it was released on NES in 1990.
For those who have never played it, Startropic is a relaxing adventure game where hero Mike Jones uses yo-yo to fight monsters, robots, and aliens. The game is fun and unique to Nintendo. In 1994, Zoda’s Revenge: Startropics II sequel: Startropics II, but since then, the series has been collecting dust.
This is exactly the game that can be done well today, especially if some silver or soul-like elements are added. Hell, Mike Jones might be a new world traveler like Lara Croft or Nathan Drake.
