Snow Bros. – Nick and Tom is one of those arcade-to-console ports that just works—simple, chaotic, and way more strategic than it looks at first glance. You play as these little snowmen tossing snowballs to trap enemies, then kick them into rolling boulders of doom. Sounds basic, but the levels get devious fast, forcing you to think about angles and timing unless you want to get swarmed by yetis and pumpkin-headed weirdos.

What really makes it shine is the co-op. Teaming up with a friend turns the screen into pure anarchy—accidentally snowballing each other, stealing last-second kills, and laughing when someone gets cornered by a swarm of angry snowmen-hating monsters. The music’s got that classic bouncy arcade vibe, and the pixel art holds up surprisingly well, especially when you trigger a chain reaction and wipe out half the level in one shot.

It’s the kind of game where you say “one more level” and suddenly it’s been an hour. Just don’t blame me when you start seeing snowball strategies in your sleep.
