Balloon Fight NES is an action game from Nintendo, released in North America in September 1986. You float with two balloons tied to your back and try to pop the balloons of rival fighters. One or two players can play.
Nintendo R&D1 and HAL Laboratory developed the game, and Nintendo published it. It is based on the 1984 arcade game VS. Balloon Fight. Its flap-and-bump style of play is often compared to Williams' 1982 arcade game Joust.
Danger comes from several directions. You lose a life if both of your balloons are popped, if you fall into the water, if a piranha grabs you from below, or if lightning hits you. Every three stages, a bonus round asks you to burst balloons that float up from chimneys.
The game later got a sequel. Balloon Kid came out for the Game Boy in 1990.
The cartridge has two modes. In the main Balloon Fight mode, you clear each screen by knocking out every enemy Balloon Fighter, and two players can team up to do it. Balloon Trip is a single-player side-scrolling mode where you dodge lightning sparks and collect balloons for as long as you can. Balloon Trip was not part of the arcade original, so it is a reason to play the Balloon Fight Nintendo game on the home console.
