Category: Super Famicom

The first title to make it to the West and with the original being so full of Eastern promise plenty survived the cut. But here in its unadulterated Japanese form the true genius behind the Goemon series shines brightly drawing in many a gamer moth into its fun filled villages to gamble, eat, rest even have a blast on Gradius. Its enough just to try and take it all in – festival masks, ninja cats, the village drunk, the fisherman rushing through town with his catch, not forgetting Ohana chan in her kimono. Also known as the Legend of the Mystical Ninja.

Emily ★★★★★

Playing this in its original Japanese form is a whole different experience—the humor and references land so much better than the localized version. The sprite work is packed with little details that make every stage feel alive, and the music is stuck in my head days later. If you've only played the
