Mr. Nutz - Sega-16 Forums

Oh my dear Sonic, what did you start? It seems that your breakout success sparked a deluge of would-be mascots that felt they had the same spark you did, but when the dust finally settled, those that weren't buried under the piles of unsold cartridges wallowed in misery at the unemployment office. Some were thankfully lost to time, and others like Mr. Nutz got another fifteen minutes of fame with a attempted comeback in the modern era, which is about fourteen more then he deserved. Read our full review of Mr. Nutz and learn why sometimes, you really shouldn't feed the squirrels.

Looks like a rip of Sonic.

I cant begin to tell you how wrong the name of that game sounds

I downloaded the ROM and tried it out because the graphics looked really colorful. Ug! It's awful! The graphics aren't too shabby, though.

Like Hidden_Darkness eludes to, the title of this game is pretty, ummm, comical. The mags would have had a field day with this one if it was released in the USA.

I always imagined Mr Nutz to be almost identical to Ristar.

I CANG UNDERSTANG why game companies get away with titles like that. I mean, Mr. Nutz. Didn't anyone say anything?

At least Rare knew "Grabbed By The Ghoulies" was sort of a crotch joke over in Britian. If I tried to make a game called "Coinpurse Annihilation" or "Scrotal Showdown", don't you think someone would try to stop me?

Of course people said something; that was the point of the title. No way was anyone oblivious to the innuendo. The box even says he's got a whole lotta nutz!

I dunno, it might just be me, but I may have a hard time sleeping at night for a few months knowing I marketed a game called "Mr. Nutz" to eight-year-olds.

Mr Smith · 03-17-2007, 04:53 PM

Has anybody realised that nut is a slang term for testicle?

A whole lotta nutz, and "one enormous tail!"

I did, several times. 'Coinpurse' isn't referring to a bag of nickels, y'know.

I've always thought Mr. Nutz is a fun game. However, I do not appreciate flipped tiles, and 50% of the tiles in Mr. Nutz are flipped. Bad. Bad flip. Stop flipping.
