Dillon's Rolling Western (2012).

Armadillo has a lot of nice ideas in it like turning into a ball to beat enemies, ramps and slopes to angle your path, and wearing a cool hat. The problem is that it utilizes none of these ideas well (except for the last one) because the game suffers from the Kirby's Adventure problem of the game itself running really choppy while moving across the screen.

Sonic the Hedgehog did the "go fast and turn into a ball" thing significantly better a couple months prior. Granted it was on the Genesis and not the NES, and it's kinda cool to see a similar idea executed on an older system.

The game itself is not great though.

Yee-haw.
