Review: Felix the Cat (PlayStation 4/5 & Switch) – Defunct Games

admin1710 views



Defunct Games reviews Felix the Cat, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Switch.

If all you’re looking for is a way to play Felix the Cat’s 8-bit games on modern consoles, then this bare-bones compilation is for you. Thankfully, what the collection lacks in extras, it makes up with charm. Both the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy games are a fine reminder of how good 2D platformers were in the 8-bit era. There’s a reason why so many people wanted these games preserved, and you don’t need to have nostalgia for them to enjoy this package. I just wish there was more care put into telling us about Felix the Cat, his history, these games and what the Japanese version is. No matter if you’re a longtime fan or somebody new to these classics, it’s worth digging through Felix the Cart’s bag of tricks.

I'm interested in buying this collection but can I turn off this hideous yellow boarder to have plain black on the sides? That's a pet peeve of mine, I can't stand these distracting borders.

Where can I buy the physical copy of this game, I could not find it on limited run last month on limited run it said sold out, where else could I got it for ps 4 or 5 anyone who could help be very appreciated 😂

I'd hardly call this a collection
@wilrivera2668 November 17, 2024 - 3:41 pm
... on the ps2, there was a transformers game I really dug. Oh, and the first gungrave game ...

I was surprised at the high grade for such a barebones collection especially when I feel Felix really could use a lot of extra and history-material to reintroduce him to the world at large, but I suppose the games must be solid to warrant that grade. As for me, I'm waiting until Konami gets permission to do a Tiny Toon Adventures collection. THAT I will be there for, day one.

As for favorite cartoon-based game: Donald and Mickey in World of Illusion. Almost went for Turtles in Time as I certainly love Turtles more than Disney, but the creativity and variety of WoI just can't be beaten.

It's sad to say this, but there just being more than one game showcased is kind of praiseworthy in comparison to many other re-release "collections".

As for cartoon games, there's just too many; but I'll just say Pirates of Dark Water on SNES since it was quite well made and the show itself is super cool and way underrated.

(SWAT Kats was pretty darn good too on the subject of forgotten good shows that got SNES games.)

I liked the tiny toons games and the Mickey ones on Genesis

I don't mind if this collection is bare bones. What I do mind is the price being too high for what it has to offer. So I think I'll wait for it to go on sale.
@danfortuna1984 November 17, 2024 - 3:41 pm
25 bucks for basically one nes game? hard pass even tho the game looks fun
@powpuckmobile9226 November 17, 2024 - 3:41 pm
If I had to pick a favorite cartoon game that wasn't NES Felix the Cat, I'd go for Quackshot Starring Donald Duck.

I also really like the SNES An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. Which just happens to be developed by the same team as the Hudson Felix game.

Funny that you meanted Mario as when I tried Felix on Emulators, I tried to jump on the enemies heads at first. 😉😂🤣 But yeah, thought the NES version at least was good. As for the question, I'm going to expand it a little bit and add anime, and say Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon for TurboGrafx CD. It never got an official release outside of Japan, which is a shame, as it's a very interesting VN game that takes an interesting twist to a sort of sequel of the first season. Luckily there has been fans who translated it, so was able to check it out, and really enjoyed it.

Favorite cartoon game? Popeye Rush for Spinach for the gameboy advance, fun 4 player racing game
@HybridAngelZero November 17, 2024 - 3:41 pm
While it does make me a little sad how barren the collection is of extra features, Felix is still one of my favorite and formative NES games. It had gotten criminally expensive a while ago, so the fact that it's right there on modern platforms is awesome. I can finally recommend it to people! And I never got to play the Game Boy version, so I'm really looking forward to that.
As for the QotD, that's a toughie. There are a lot of greats like Castle of Illusion, Buster Busts Loose, both Aladdin games, DuckTales and so much more, but my heart keeps telling me Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers on NES.
Fantastic level design, the fun box mechanic used with so much creativity, even two player co-op! In a platformer from 1989! It's a game I've played countless times will likely go back to again and again

That's a good point on missing out by not adding in a 'history of Felix the Cat' portion. Not many realise - or even know - how important Felix is to animation. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if a modern audience gamer picks this up has any idea who Felix is.
@darktetsuya November 17, 2024 - 3:41 pm
didn't know about the unreleased Famicom version, a neat addition! maybe I'll pull the trigger on it at some point. QOTD: I could go with the easy answer like the TMNT arcade games, but I have a more recent pick: illusion island! fun 2d platformer metroidvania starring the disney regulars, and a lot of humor in this one too! fun stuff I can't recommend it enough.
@LizSpencer-eu1cb November 17, 2024 - 3:41 pm
I really like this 🤩
@Pridetoons November 17, 2024 - 3:41 pm
My primary complaint is that this game is basically a copy and paste of the NES game. 😕
