Startropics is a truly forgotten Nintendo game. Those who remember it have probably forgotten that Nintendo developed it when it came out on the NES in 1990.
For those who have never played it, Startropic is a light-hearted adventure game where the hero, Mike Jones, uses a yo-yo to battle monsters, robots and aliens. The game was fun and was something unique from Nintendo way back when. There was a sequel, Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II, that came out in 1994, but since then, this series has been collecting dust.
This is exactly the kind of game that could do well today, especially if some Metroidvania or Soulslike elements were added to it. Hell, Mike Jones could be a new globe-trotting adventurer in the same light as Lara Croft or Nathan Drake.
