Hey everyone, I've returned from my badly needed vacation and have gotten back up to speed with Video Chronicles. Here's another curiously timely NES Works—this time coinciding with this week's Nintendo Switch Online release of Mighty Bomb Jack. It's a more interesting game than many people realize, I think!

How many of these mechanics were explained in both games' original manuals? I never even knew about all the hidden stuff in Solomon's Key, so I guess I got the bad ending when I played through the game on VC. Never made it to the end of Mighty Bomb Jack, but I remember that after I posted my high score in the game (from the VC version) on Miiverse, I'd get messages about it even a year later, because apparently hardly anyone really played it, so my post was just about the only one with a score. lol
