Review Aero the Acrobat (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Will you go aerobatty for Aero?
Everybody into gaming at the time remembers the "cool mascot" craze during the early 90's; Sega was heavily in on it with Sonic and a whole bunch of other companies tried to cash in on it as well. Sunsoft's attempt came in the form of Aero the Acrobat – a bat with attitude who works as an acrobat in the...

About The Game
The madman industrialist Edgar Ektor has seized control of the World of Amusement. He and a deranged cast of fairground freaks threaten the circus. The only hope for survival is the high-flying, death-defying AERO THE ACROBAT!
Spine-tingling terror unfolds as AERO tackles Ektor's wicked henchmen. Bungee jump into a battle with evil! Skydive toward the danger below! Hang on for the ride of your life as you rise and plunge on a roaring roller coaster! Tiptoe across a terrifying tightrope! Then power drill and twist AERO right through every sinister circus enemy imaginable. And all the while, the show must go on!
It could become a carnival of carnage in the World of Amusement. Because the evil Ektor isn't clowning around...and there's nothing amusing about that.

So, I guess this means Aero the Acro-Bat and the other Iguana games are coming to the VC. Cool.
The first one looks interesting.
YES, been waiting fo this one.
Iguana really shouldn't have much to do with this rerelease. It's rather Sunsoft. So I wouldn't hold my breath for games like Turok for example.
As for Aero, he looks like a fun character to control. I was just surprised that this game, which I have heard about for years, was rated for the VC when I found out yesterday.
This one I always wanted to play during the 16-bit era but never got the chance. I may just pick this up when it's available.
It is a cool game, but it was pretty hard from what I remember, and the controls were kind of bad. But overall I think the game is pretty good.
It has now been rated by the ESRB as well.
I have never played this, but I would probably download it.
I've decided to try the first game first.
Cool. this is a character that should have been receiving attention long ago.. Bats flying yes, plumbers? Come on now... wtf. an acrobatic fat guy in a red suit playing doctor and plumber and running like he has no cholesterol problems? yeah riiiightt.
