Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. The shell has light scuffs and surface marks, and the label is intact and legible. Look over the photos for condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Grab the red W and the screen changes everything. Werewolf: The Last Warrior starts you as Ken, the last of a tribe of changelings, but its whole personality lives in the moment he transforms into Warwolf, a hulking, wall-scaling brawler who turns Data East's 1990 side-scroller into something wilder.

The story drops you on Red Earth, Earth's second colony planet, where Dr. Faryan has awakened an ancient evil, become something monstrous and unleashed an army of mutants that has imprisoned most of the population. Ken's answer is transformation. Red W orbs turn him into the werewolf, with a longer reach on his attacks and the ability to climb walls, and blue W orbs turn him back into a man. Gathering bubbles fills an anger meter, and collect five and Ken becomes a super werewolf for a limited time, leaping higher and dealing double damage.

That shifting power curve is what makes the game memorable. You are constantly weighing when to stay in beast form, when the anger meter is close to boiling over and how to get through a stretch before the advantage runs out. Developed with SAS Sakata and released by Takara in Japan, it has the gritty, muscle-bound attitude of early-'90s action games, the kind of box art and premise that jumped off a rental store shelf.

Critics were split at the time. GamePro liked its challenge, while other reviewers found the controls clumsy and the setup simple, and that honest roughness is part of why it has a following now. Werewolf is a gloriously strange late-era NES action game, and its beast-mode transformations give it a swagger that sets it apart from the platformers lined up beside it.
