Catalogue entry · not reviewed

Snow Bros. is a 1990 platform video game developed and published by Toaplan for Japanese arcades; it was distributed by Romstar in North America and Europe. Players control snowman twins Nick and Tom as they travel through 50 stages, using snowballs as weapons while navigating obstacles and battling monsters in order to rescue the princesses Puripuri and Puchipuchi. The game was later ported to multiple platforms, each one by different third-party developers and featuring several changes or additions. Versions for various microcomputers were in development, but were never officially released.

Where Snow Bros.: Nick and Tom sits on the grid

The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Snow Bros.: Nick and Tom lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.

Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.

What readers say about Snow Bros.: Nick and Tom

Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
