{"product_id":"ikari-warriors-iii-the-rescue-nes","title":"Ikari Warriors III: The Rescue - NES","description":"\u003cp\u003eIkari Warriors III: The Rescue for the NES is the third and final entry in SNK's Ikari Warriors trilogy — and a radical departure from its predecessors. Where the first two games were top-down run-and-gun shooters, The Rescue ditches the guns almost entirely and reinvents itself as a beat-'em-up. A shadowy organization called Crime Ghost has kidnapped the President's daughter Elise and is threatening to execute her unless the President resigns. He turns to the only two soldiers he trusts: Paul and Vince, the Ikari Warriors. Players fight through six stages of enemy-packed environments — docks, jungles, temples — brawling their way to the Crime Ghost mastermind Faust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-to-hand combat is the primary tool — punches, roundhouse kicks, and jump kicks each deal different amounts of damage and have distinct ranges. Machine guns can be picked up from downed enemies for a limited burst of firepower, and vehicle bosses are fought exclusively with guns in sections that briefly restore the run-and-gun feel of the earlier games. The NES version makes several meaningful improvements over the arcade: the brutal time limit mechanic is removed entirely, the anime-style character redesigns are more expressive than the arcade's Rambo-inspired originals, and an exclusive fourth scuba-diving side-scrolling shooter stage is unique to this version. Unlimited continues respawn players at the same spot, making the game completable by determined players regardless of skill level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped and published by SNK, Ikari Warriors III: The Rescue released on NES in North America in 1990. It is the final chapter of the Ikari Warriors series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/strong\u003e 怒III (Ikari III)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e N\/A (pre-ESRB release)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beat-'em-Up \/ Action\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2 players (simultaneous co-op)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e SNK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e SNK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly multiple item orders that combine to $120 or more get free shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"Cartridge Only - VG+","offer_id":46163151847509,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/675429F9-4614-421F-9A60-8E4D969C6D11.jpg?v=1791412162","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/ikari-warriors-iii-the-rescue-nes","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
