POPULARITY
Tonight we are reflecting on Legendary Wings which was a 1986 arcade game developed and published by Capcom which was later released for the NES in North America in July of 1988. Capcom was responsible for porting popular arcade games to the NES like Commando, Gun. Smoke and Ghosts and Goblins. They also created games based off of Disney licensed franchises like Chip n Dale's Rescue Rangers, Ducktales and Darkwing Duck. Capcom was also responsible for the creation of the phenomenon known as “Rockman” aka Megaman in North America. Tonight our visiting Deacon is once again Jeff Gabor.The miNEStry founders, Archbishop Dracul and Father Avram, seek to inspire their 8-bit parishioners through methodical and ceremonial scrutiny of the library of games on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
This week is a bit of an ouroboros: While the primary feature here is Capcom's Legendary Wings, this episode also touches on the NES release of Xevious, the game that very clearly inspired Legendary Wings (not to mention about a thousand other Japanese arcade games of the era). Xevious is by far the purer of the two, not to mention the fairer, but there is something to be said for that late '80s Capcom house NES style...
