I think the NES version of the Little Mermaid is *extremely* fun. The graphics come close to phenomenal, and the music is some of the catchiest I have ever heard on the NES. I remember being blown away by the graphics and sound back in the day.

Sure, the game may be easy, but hey, how many NES games can you say are easy? Not many. I strongly recommend you pick up this highly addictive underwater adventure game.

I loved it when I was little. And I still love it now. This game is perfect for the little ones. It was the only game I could beat as a child! :-)

I found this an odd game to like as I wasn't a fan of Disney princesses or prince or whatever. I was an on the farm tomboy who'd rather have a pretend dogfight with my toy planes, play legos, and cars. Why I liked this game I never understood. Neither did my little brother. But I think I got all the way to the end. It was one of the few games I'd spend hours and hours trying to beat. ( I chose this over Bill & Ted's Excellent adventure which I was obsessed over...I liked weird movies what can I say?)

I doubt everyone will find this game interesting that way, but I did. I liked the way the Mermaid Ariel shot at things. She didn't have a gun in her odd collections of many things. Maybe I liked it because it was one of the few games we own which seemed to emulate the characters on the movie. The movie, which I didn't get, and I didn't like either. Except for the keep singing part which I kind of liked. And Sebastian, he was coolest always worried about everything.

... but once I beat it, I didn't really feel compelled to play again. I played this when I was little and NES was the main system out there (along with SNES), back then it was easy enough for me to beat after losing some lives in the game and figuring out what worked against which enemy. Even Ursula herself wasn't that hard to beat. I saw this game at the video rental store and wanted it, and I'm glad it was just a rental, not ownership. It's fairly fun, the graphics are clean, the music's nice, but it certainly isn't a great game. Best for one boring afternoon or whatever, it is easy to beat this game under two hours.

The Little Mermaid for the GB is a very average game. In this game, you go through sidescrolling levels with some up and down movement. You can use shells to open boxes and kill enemies. There are powerups that you can use to defeat enemies. You use bubbles to trap enemies in the game. It is extremely easy to beat. The graphics are pretty good for a Gameboy game. The sound effects are average with nothing special about them. This is a very mediocre game with nothing special or overly bad about it.
