On May 15, 2025, a prototype ofBio Force Ape, a 20-year-old canceled NES game, was made available online. It is a game in which you play a genetically altered chimpanzee in a diaper as he puts the hurt on various man-animal hybrids using pro wrestling moves. Had this been developed for modern consoles, you would expect Suda51 to appear somewhere in the credits.
Something this wild demands a review.
The game is clearly unfinished. However, rather than harp on the fidgety controls, poor collision detection, and painfully short play length, I instead wish to convey the feelings and emotions that stir up when experiencing such a long-lost treasure. Please forgive me in advance for this rather unorthodox review, butBio Force Apeis a rather unorthodox game.

I’mma be nice and help you out of the getup. It’s a rather effective technique known asintroducing your face to the concrete! Maybe next time you’ll think twice ’bout runnin’ your lip and checkin’ yourself in the mirror before you leave the house in the morning!

I’m on a mission! This is my moment, my story!

Where’s my challenge? Is there no man or beast who can keep up with me in the ring? Sorry-ass bitches should have just sent me my title belt via UPS. That way, I wouldn’t have had to wreck your business, and everyone would have been happy. Stupid motha-fuckas…
Oh, whaaaaaaaaaat!? We doin’ this crackerjack shit now? You stealMYfamily, make me get up from my nap and get my hands all dirty, and now you wanna play Simon Says? A’ight, sure. Simon says…BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, BITCH!

Score: 10 — Flawless Victory(10s are as close to perfect as you will get in a genre or on a platform. Pure, untarnished videogame ecstasy.)
FTC disclosure: In all honesty, this game is waaaay too easy and the last level can go screw itself, but c’mon! You are a fuckin’ wrestling ape in a diaper and you fight bee men and Michael Jordan!
