Play Pikachu Online

Pikachu on NES is one of those weird bootleg platformers where you control a stiff, blocky version of the little electric mouse. The levels feel slapped together—random pits, floating platforms, and enemies that just walk back and forth.

I remember jumping into what looked like a simple gap, only to get zapped by an invisible hazard. The hit detection is rough, and Pikachu moves like he’s stuck in mud. It’s got that janky charm though, if you’re into obscure, broken games.

Honestly, it’s more of a curiosity than a real game. You play Pikachu for about five minutes before the novelty wears off.
