Jeff Gerstmann was doing his weekly NES ranking show today, and one of the games under review was Chubby Cherub, an obscure title where you're a demented-looking little angel going around avoiding cute dogs who shoot "B"s at you (to symbolize their little barks) while scarfing down food Adventure Island-style. The game's originally from Japan, so the food, of course, includes dango and rice balls. Naturally, they're not labeled as such in the U.S. manual, and while this is a predecessor to a long line of later properties adapting Japanese dishes as jelly donuts and hamburgers, well, does this look like a hamburger to you?
Even Alex Kidd back then had the good grace to replace the sprite.
