Yo! Noid
Yo! Noid is a platform video game developed by Now Production and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Released in November 1990, the game is a re-skin of the Japanese game Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru, which was also developed by Now Production. Yo! Noid features the Domino's Pizza mascot, the Noid, as the main character.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Yo! Noid is a side-scrolling platformer where players control the Noid through various levels set in New York City. The objective is to defeat the evil Mr. Green, who has been causing trouble in the city. The Noid uses a yo-yo as his primary weapon to defeat enemies and can collect various power-ups throughout the game.
The game consists of 14 levels, each with unique challenges and enemies. At the end of each level, players must participate in a pizza-eating contest, which serves as a mini-game. The player must strategically use cards to out-eat their opponent and progress to the next level.
Development[edit | edit source]
Yo! Noid was developed by Now Production, a Japanese video game company known for its work on various NES titles. The game was published by Capcom, a major video game developer and publisher. The game is a re-skin of Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru, which was released exclusively in Japan. The re-skin was done to promote the Noid, a popular advertising character for Domino's Pizza in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Reception[edit | edit source]
Upon its release, Yo! Noid received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised the game's graphics and unique character, while others criticized its difficulty and repetitive gameplay. Despite the mixed reviews, the game has gained a cult following over the years and is remembered for its quirky premise and association with the Noid character.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Yo! Noid remains a notable example of video game marketing and the use of advertising mascots in video games. The Noid character has since become a nostalgic figure for many who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. The game is often referenced in discussions about unusual or unique video games from the NES era.
