It's time to drop the gloves and hit the ice! And possibly your opponent's face while we're at it. In this episode of the Retro Wildlands, we take a full-on retro slapshot at Blades of Steel on the original NES.  From bone-crunching fights to that unforgettable announcer. We'll also slot this game into our NES and play a game together to really get into the action! Was it the ultimate 8-bit sports game… or just really good at starting fights? And how did Blades of Steel stack against Ice Hockey on the NES? Let's lace up and find out.
