Description
Colorful action platformer featuring Felix the Cat exploring magical worlds with his magic bag. Published under Dragon Co. license, released in Europe. Felix using his magic bag to transform objects into weapons and tools to battle and colorful levels. An original Felix the Cat platformer on NES.
A Hudson Soft platformer built on the Felix the Cat license, the European version landed in late 1992, deep into the NES sunset as Europe already eyed the Super Nintendo. That late timing sharply cut the PAL print run, placing the European cartridge among the hardest Felix copies to source complete outside the United States. Its desirability rests on this PAL late release combined with the character's aura, popular in Europe through the cartoon.
Is Felix the Cat still worth playing in 2026?
A Hudson Soft licensed platformer, Felix the Cat sends the famous black cat to explore colorful worlds with his magic bag that turns into vehicles and weapons depending on the bonuses picked up. The adorable direction, the accessible pace and the variety of transformations make it a charming, good-natured platformer, tailored for a young audience. The difficulty stays gentle and the formula classic. A delightful gem for fans of retro cartoon platforming and Felix nostalgics on the NES.
