Die-and-retryFormer homebrew NES title Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril is making a stop (https://youtu.be/4vvMLR-17Jo) on the Nintendo Switch on May 19, 2023. This follows a release on Xbox consoles in April 2022 and on NES in 2010.
Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril is one of the more beloved homebrew titles for Nintendo?s classic console. Developed by Sivak Games and drawing inspiration from Mega Man and I Wanna Be The Guy, Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril is a die-and-retry gauntlet.

I actually own a copy of the NES title from its initial run with RetroUSB. Personally, I didn?t really love the game. However, I do recognize it as a quality homebrew project. I?ve played quite a bit of homebrew, and they?re extremely hit-and-miss, with the majority landing in the miss category. Often, they?re first-time projects for programmers, and I can really appreciate the passion behind them, even if I own a few that I can?t stand. I?m not naming any names. It?s mostly just that I rarely enjoy the die-and-retry genre, with Hotline Miami being one of the few I really love.
Still, I don?t regret having that transparent green NES cartridge on my shelf. Homebrew has come a long way in the last decade. More and more companies have been getting into production (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-blazing-rangers-nes-retro-pc/). It warms my dusty, old heart.
In any case, I?m happy to see that Battle Kid: The Fortress of Peril isn?t staying locked on the hardware. The title is especially a good fit for the Switch, as it?s a console with a very pick-up-and-play mentality.
If you?re not into the Switch version or don?t want to wait, Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, or via ROM from itch.io (https://8bitlegit.itch.io/battle-kid-fortress-of-peril).
