Initially created for the NES and released on cartridge in 2010 by Jordan Ordorica (Sivak Games), Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril is hailed as the first smash hit of the NES homebrew scene. The game revolutionized NES homebrew, showing what could be done with a brand-new, licensed quality game, thus raising the bar for all those that followed it. Inspired by games like “I Wanna Be The Guy,” Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril is now available for download and can be played on various NES emulators.
The tough-as-nails platformer boasts a death count, seemingly-endless challenges and 8 intimidating bosses whose only goal is to crush your spirits and keep you from advancing. Even with five difficulty levels, this game is still out to get you.
Death comes swiftly and often in the game, but don’t lose hope. The Metroidvania-style upgrades in the game provide a rewarding, ever-evolving experience that retro enthusiasts are sure to grab hold of. With frequent checkpoints, unlimited continues and a traditional password system, there is a chance you’ll make it out alive, maybe!

What is the difference between the previous rom file and the one you uploaded today?
Upgrade to 2.11 is just a tiny bit more polish in a few places. It's not anything super significant, but it's still nice to have cleaned up a few spots artistically.
Is this not the original game? Videos I'm watching seem a bit different in layout. (Edit: Never mind, I looked up information on versions, and I see this is 2.1. Cool :))
I'm excited this game can be bought again! Will the second game come in the future?
We are doing our best to make that happen for everyone!
Please do. And send a copy of it to youtube channel called Game Grumps. Arin Hanson's freakouts over this is hilarious.
He will enjoy the pure horror that there is another one.
