For this month's "Maps Of The Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to RyuMaster's Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 (NES) maps.
It's been years since the original Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers, where they were at the top of their game, and even got Fat Cat put away. But now, Chip 'N Dale return for another adventure. Does this pair of chipmunk sleuths still have the skills to crack the case?
Many people regard the original Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers as one of the greatest NES games based on a licensed property. Games based on existing characters often get a bad rap, but those handled by big-name developers like Capcom are actually great games, not just lazy cash grabs. The original Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers, and another Capcom-developed Disney Afternoon game, DuckTales, are often revered. Their sequels are also pretty solid, but not as talked about, because they were late releases on the NES in 1993/1994, when the Super NES had already been out since 1991. They are definitely worth a look if you want to experience more adventures with Chip and Dale and all the other Rescue Rangers! RyuMaster's got you covered when it comes to the maps. Even though the game is more linear, we can appreciate the high-quality NES graphics possible at the tail end of the NES's life cycle.
So to recognize the effort put into mapping one of the last great NES games, RyuMaster's Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 (NES) maps will be known as VGMaps.com's Maps Of The Month for May 2022.
