Apparently, according to Wikipedia, the 16-bit sequel to Milon’s Secret Asshole was released for the Wii Virtual Console in North America, but NOT translated to English. So I guess if the game wasn’t cryptic enough already, you can roll yourself some Japanese SNES shit-sushi.
Great review. I embarrassingly must admit that I run a little fansite for this game, though I can’t really argue with the shitty aspects you point out. If anybody is interested in playing through the game without being confused what to do, I’ve got a handy walkthrough on my site. http://defgav.com/nes/msc/
I might have to disagree with you on this one, James (sorry man) At first I guess the game is very cryptic, confusing, and impossible. I don’t know how I managed to get through, I don’t remember reading about it in Nintendo Power. But once you figure out what’s going on, it makes for a good challenging game to play. I never did beat it when I was a kid. Also fucked up on the continue thing near the end and some of the bosses become tough.
Okay I bought the game in the wii shop………..and I kind of like it. I keep dying though. Your review is correct on all the short comeings of this game. Oh and I would like to add the enemys are to fucking hard and I hate that they respawn. Fuck respawning enemys
“The whole game is based on secrets.” Well, who the fuck would’ve guessed that. I mean, the title doesn’t suggest that it has anything to do with secrets at all. Seriously, WHO THE FUCK WOULD’VE FIGURED THIS GAME HAD… SECRETSSSSSS???????
Anyone know the name of the medieval knight game at 0:39-0:40? I used to play that when I was a kid at my friend’s place and don’t remember what it is but I’d like to buy it.
I owned this game as a kid and beat it without help. It drove me crazy, and I still remember when I first found the secret shop. The fire room pissed me off so much I could barely stand it. It took forever to beat it, but back then I didn’t know other gamers or have magazines or the internet to turn to. It was just me, the controller and motherfucking Milon.
Oh wow. This is a blast from the past. I definitely remember borrowing this game from a friend back in like 1989-90. Kind of quirky and under the radar, but I definitely thought it had potential. Then again, I don’t remember getting to the first boss, for the reasons James outlines.
I actually really enjoyed this game as a kid, it reminded me of Zelda because everything was a hidden strategy. Anyways there is a way to continue with all your items and health. When you die, hold left, and press start at the title screen. Most likely you’ll be doing this often enjoy!
What’s hilarious is that Milon’s Secret Castle and Simon’s Quest were the two games I absolutely loved as a child. I loved playing for hours and finally figuring something out. Still love AVGN!

Damn. Simon’s Quest is less cryptic than this.

I own this game. It is like a puzzle game. You have to find Secret’s all over the game. It is hard but the longer you play it you get more used to it.
May 20, 2010 at 8:54 pm
OMG! I remember this game : it was the favorite game of my ex! I should have known right there something was wrong!
I like “puzzle” games, but this is ridiculous…

Gotta love how the box boasts “Over 3/4 million copies sold.” I’m not going to lie to you; that there is one impressive accomplishment.
June 1, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Jesus, that Hudson Soft bee still gives me the chills just as much as the LJN rainbow does.
June 13, 2010 at 10:38 am
There’s a version for the Gameboy. I think it’s the same game, but the ending is OVER 9000 times better
June 20, 2010 at 8:15 pm
this princess can go fuck herself.
July 17, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Hey why would only girls want to shoot bubbles at shit?? Fuck bubbles

October 25, 2010 at 11:23 am
“It’s not Mario, or Mega Man, or MIchael Jackson.” XD
This game is possibly the most difficult in a sissy way of the entire NES library. Hopefully, you won’t review Barbie, another sissy NES game.

Too late, he already did. He showed it at the end at his special where he showed how he made his avgn episodes.

It’s Astyanax for the NES. It’s a fun game. You should try it out sometime.

January 15, 2012 at 12:11 pm
@Jordanv78 Jesus Christ, Astyanax. That game has to be on par with the most delayed hit detection in an NES game.
January 19, 2011 at 6:00 pm
hehehe
February 25, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Have you ever played Myst 5?
That game is even more cryptic than this.
August 7, 2011 at 10:23 am
FUCK THIS GAME!
September 1, 2011 at 1:49 pm

September 23, 2011 at 12:01 pm
I remember playing this game as a kid and loving the colors and such–I never got far, and played the first level like fifty times XD
November 25, 2011 at 5:56 am

January 16, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Honestly, this is the one review I’m not 100% behind avgn about. I liked the game, but don’t disagree that it’s hard as duke nukem’s balls
January 23, 2012 at 4:02 am
that game looks so frustration
January 25, 2012 at 1:44 pm
They say this is a good but really tough game. It’s like Ipad NBA 2k12.
