I didn't grow up with an NES but I enjoy retro NES games for their pick-up and play quality. I have no nostalgic feelings attached to these games and I wasn't initially inclined to try out MC kids since it seemed like one huge Mcdonald's advertisement. This patch gives the game a fresh coat of paint that is void of the McType II diabetes that was initially promoted. I can now see this game for the decent platformer that it is, free from the 8-bit rendition of John Wayne Gacy. I'd only recommend playing MC Kids with this patch. Great work guys! | |||

So the original M.C. Kids was a fun game, it had great music, but it was plagued with incessant product placement for McDonald's. When I first played it, I just ignored it and found quite the enjoyable gem. Now, however, there is no need to ignore it. keithisgood has managed to remove every single instance of McDonald's advertising present in the game, changing text to match as well (thanks in no small part to Proveaux, who helped the text fit into the game's engine). What's left is everything that made the original game charming without suddenly craving cheap fast food. All the McDonald's characters have been replaced with other real-world characters. Ronald McDonald becomes Walter the Wizard (aka Bill Nye). The Professor becomes The Engineer (aka Nikola Tesla). CosMc becomes Cosmo, an astronaut (or is he a cosmonaut?). The Hamburglar... well, let's not spoil that one. Regardless, the edits are quite professionally done, and I'm sure that this is how the game was meant to be played. Definitely check this one out. If the fact it was a blatant advertisement for McDonald's has turned you off of this before, now there's no reason not to check it out! Perhaps you too will fall under the magic spell that the core of this game has always provided. | |||
