The game doesn't really take anything from Mario Bros. other than the Nintendo style aesthetics. It is essentially a copy of Joust, with an extra game mode.
Lol, the beginning reminded me of "Sooo meaty" from that show, "The Soup". Oh yeah, couldn't you also get the Balloon Fight theme on Smash Bros Melee on the Icicle Mountain stage?
huh I have this game on the Nintendo DS but it features Tingle from the Legend of Zelda series as the protagonist (Tingle's Balloon Fight DS). I think its actually a very good game considering its simplicity.
i highly recommend going back and finding an old nes on which to replay these old games on. wii vc doesnt cut it, it doesnt feel legit, just like emulating games on your computer. go out and find these old consoles. some are really inexpensive, and it just feels awesome to be able to hold the cartridges you owned growing up.
Joust '82. Balloon fight '84. Technically they are at different generations of video gaming too. Joust being from the 2nd generation of video games and Balloon fight from the 3rd generation.
this game was kick ass, I played it on the original animal crossing for gamecube, where they had several NES games. I even got punch out =D, had to use cheats for that one though. Fuking impossible to get normally
