Description
Colorful action platformer featuring Felix the Cat exploring magical worlds with his magic bag. Published under Dragon Co. license, released in the USA. 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.
The North American Felix the Cat has become a textbook case of a sought-after NES late release: out in late 1992 as the NES faded behind the Super Nintendo, its distribution was limited even though the game is a solid Hudson Soft platformer. This pairing of genuine quality and late, thin print pushed loose and CIB values well past more common contemporary platformers. Lasting demand also leans on the character's recognition with American audiences.
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.
