{"product_id":"yo-noid-nes","title":"Yo! Noid - NES","description":"\u003cp\u003eYo! Noid for the NES is one of the most gloriously strange licensed games in the console's entire library — a Capcom-developed platformer starring the Noid, Domino's Pizza's beloved late-1980s claymation mascot. A green doppelgänger named Mr. Green is running wild through New York City causing chaos and framing the Noid for everything. The mayor calls on the Noid to save the city — with a massive pizza reward promised if he succeeds. Armed with a super yo-yo and a collection of magic scrolls, the Noid sprints, bounces, skateboards, and helicopters through 14 side-scrolling levels across a cartoonish rendition of early 1990s New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gameplay is a solid Capcom platformer — bright, fast, and punishing. The Noid has no life bar and loses a life on any enemy contact or if the timer runs out, which gives every level genuine tension. Magic scrolls function as screen-clearing bombs. The yo-yo dispatches enemies at close range. Between every other level, instead of a traditional boss fight, players face a rival Noid in a pizza-eating contest played out as a card battle — matching numbers to fill a pizza meter faster than the opponent. It is exactly as absurd as it sounds. Stages include a carnival, a skateboard sequence, and a gyrocopter section that keep the gameplay varied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe game is a reskin of the Japanese Famicom title Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru — the ninja became the Noid, the bird-throwing became yo-yo attacks, and the card battles became pizza contests. Capcom developed both this and the California Raisins NES game simultaneously. Half a million copies shipped on release at $40 retail. The Noid disappeared from Domino's advertising shortly after the game's release, partly due to a 1989 incident in which a man who believed the mascot was based on him took Domino's employees hostage — one of the stranger footnotes in fast food and gaming history. A fan-made sequel, Yo! Noid 2: Enter the Void, arrived in 2017 and became a cult phenomenon in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e N\/A (pre-ESRB release)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Action Platformer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 player\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now Production\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capcom\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990 (North American release: November 1990)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly multiple item orders that combine to $120 or more get free shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"Game Only - VG","offer_id":46214650396757,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/CF82364B-323B-4F16-A21D-6188C4773A7A.jpg?v=1790043161","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/yo-noid-nes","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
