Item Description
Bury a monster in snow, give the snowball a kick, and watch it roll across the platform, bounce off the wall and flatten every enemy in its path. That single satisfying mechanic is the heart of Snow Brothers, and it is easy to see why the arcade original by Toaplan, a studio best known for its shoot-'em-ups, built such a loyal following.
Each of the 50 stages is a single screen packed with enemies, and the rules are simple to learn and tricky to master. A few hits of snow pin a monster in place; enough of them seal it inside a giant snowball you can push or kick. Snowballs chain into each other, and clearing every enemy in a stage with a single kick makes bonus money rain from the sky. Take too long and an invincible pumpkin head arrives to hurry you along, followed by ghosts that cannot be stopped at all. Colored potions boost your speed and snow power, and every tenth floor ends with a boss that can only be hurt by hurling enemy-filled snowballs at it. Fans of Bubble Bobble will feel right at home.
The NES version, published by Capcom in North America in 1991, adds its own fairy-tale setup. Nick and Tom are human princes cursed into snowmen by the demon King Scorch, who has also captured the princess twins, and only climbing his tower will break the spell. In Japan, the cartridge was the only Famicom game Toaplan ever published itself.
Snow Brothers arrived late in the NES lifespan, when many players had already moved on to 16-bit consoles, which is part of why it feels like a find today. It is colorful, cheerful and built around a hook that never gets old, a fine example of a compact arcade design translated to the living room with its personality intact.

About the game
Snow Bros. is a fixed-screen platform game where players must defeat all enemies on each level (screen), 50 altogether. The Snow Bros use snow as their weapon, throwing it at the enemies to stun them. When lots of snow is thrown at an enemy, it becomes covered in a flurry and unable to move. These can be rolled into giant snowballs and pushed or kicked into other enemies. If left alone, enemies will eventually defrost and become angry at the player. The enemy-filled snowballs are a much stronger weapon than the regular handful of snow and are the only effective weapon Nick and Tom have against the bosses.
