BigOleWords has released a review of Skate or Die 2, a 1990 NES title that received limited attention. The video examines the game's side-scrolling design, noting that players can return to previously visited areas. It situates the game within the broader Skate or Die series, which originated on earlier platforms.
The reviewer highlights a specific moment, stating "Man, Double Trouble was NOT what I was picturing." The segment also promotes the channel's regular streams, scheduled for every Thursday at 8:30 PM EST on YouTube.
Skate or Die 2 was published in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, expanding on the original's winter-sports theme. As a side-scrolling title, it allows navigation back to earlier sections, offering a non-linear exploration element. The review assesses how these mechanics compare to contemporaneous NES releases.
