Power Blade
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)Action
Power Blade is a 1991 NES action-platform game developed by Natsume and published in North America by Taito. It stars Nova, an agent armed with a large energy boomerang, as he investigates a crisis affecting a futuristic city. The game combines side-scrolling platforming with exploration, enemy combat, and boss battles rather than following a purely linear run-and-gun structure. Nova searches each area for access to its boss while finding upgrades that improve the boomerang. Its open-feeling stages, responsive movement, and demanding enemy patterns earned it a positive reputation among NES action games. Power Blade is also notable for being a substantial redesign of the Japanese Power Blazer, with a different hero, presentation, and level design.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
