Summary
Snow Brothers on the NES turns each of its 50 fixed‑screen stages into a chilly puzzle of snow‑ball combat. You and a friend play as the snow‑man twins Nick and Tom, hurling handfuls of snow to stun foes until they’re completely coated and become rolling snowballs. Those snowballs can be kicked into other enemies for massive damage, and they’re the only reliable way to take down the tougher bosses. Power‑ups appear as colored potions that boost speed, increase snow supply, extend throw distance, or even grant temporary balloon‑like flight, while clearing a screen with a single snowball drops bonus money from the sky. An invincible pumpkin head will appear if you linger too long, spawning untouchable ghosts. Though Toaplan’s original arcade hit earned a Gamest award and a cult following, the NES version was handled by Soft House and Capcom in 1991. The franchise lives on under Tatsujin’s ownership, with a Switch remake, Snow Bros Special, in 2022 and a new entry, Snow Bros Wonderland, arriving in 2024.
Storyline
In the NES version of Snow Brothers, the twin princes Nick and Tom are cursed by the evil demon King Scorch, who freezes them and transforms them into snowmen while kidnapping the princess twins. The captured princesses are known as Puripuri and Puchipuchi, also referred to as Teri and Tina in the game’s lore. Determined to save their kingdom, the Snow Brothers set out on a quest across fifty stages, battling monsters and navigating obstacles. Their primary weapon is a rolling snowball, which they use to defeat enemies and clear a path toward the villain. Ultimately, Nick and Tom must confront King Scorch, break the curse, and rescue the princesses to restore peace.
