Game Overview

Ice Climber on GBA is basically the same old-school NES game you remember, just in portable form. You play as Popo (or Nana if you've got a buddy), smashing blocks above you with a hammer to climb icy mountains. The controls feel a little stiff at first—jumping takes some practice—but once you get the rhythm down, it's weirdly satisfying to whack those blocks just right.

Polar bears and weird little seal things try to knock you off, and those condor birds still swoop in to ruin your day if you take too long. The mountain men are the worst though—they just shamble around like they own the place. Honestly, half the fun is seeing how far you can get before something ridiculous knocks you back down.

It's not the fanciest remake, but if you're nostalgic for that old NES challenge, this version gets the job done.
