1980s Critics Review Ghouls N Ghosts, Landstalker, Revenge of Shinobi & Crusader of Centry (Genesis)

There are good Nintendo Switch Online updates, and then there’s what we got today – the single greatest week in Nintendo Switch Online history. And no, it’s not just because it gives me a chance to post this clip of me on GamePro TV back in the early 1990s. This week we get four of the best Genesis games of all time, including The Revenge of Shinobi, Landstalker, Crusader of Centy and Ghouls ‘N Ghosts. That’s exciting news, but are any of these games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Computer + Video Games, Video Games & Computer Entertainment and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. So, go and grab your suit of armor and throwing stars, because this is going to be an absolutely packed episode of the Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
