Gimmick! (Mr. Gimmick)

The game that opens this new season is Sunsoft’s Gimmick! This platformer came at the peak of the Famicom’s life, and is a fantastic production both visually and musically. And though it may look cute and possess only six stages, it’s designed for platforming pros; a nice send-off for a system that more or less made the genre.

Bio-Senshi Dan: Increaser to no Tatakai (Bio-Warrior Dan)

Jaleco’s Bio Warrior DAN was an action game that’s filled with weird imagery, and is also a bit confusing at times.

Kirby Bowl (Kirby's Dream Course)
Season 15Episode 760 min

Kirby Bowl (Kirby's Dream Course)

Kirby Bowl (Kirby’s Dream Course) isn’t a regular Kirby game — it’s a crazy hybrid of mini-golf and elements of pool, with Kirby being the ball, and needing to get through the tricky courses by destroying all the enemies and dropping into the hole at the end.

Hello! Pac-Man (Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures)
Season 15Episode 1160 min

Hello! Pac-Man (Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures)

Hello! Pac-Man," known outside Japan as "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures." is a cartoony action-adventure where you guide Pac-Man through a series of missions. You can only direct him using a slingshot to fire pellets at things he should pay attention to, or a secondary "look" command. There are only four episodes ("rounds") in the game, but this likely won’t be a jolly stroll for Arino.

Strider Hiryu (Strider)
Season 15Episode 1260 min

Strider Hiryu (Strider)

Arino takes on a Mega Drive game, and it’s another well-regarded title: Strider, Sega’s port of the Capcom arcade game. It’s a relatively short game — just five stages — and not as brutal as, say, Ghouls ‘N’ Ghosts, but it still has its moments.

Hiryuu no Ken: Ougi no Sho (Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll)
Season 15Episode 1360 min

Hiryuu no Ken: Ougi no Sho (Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll)

You play as a young man named Ryuhi, martial arts master trying to recapture the secret scrolls of the Hiryu-no-Ken. The game alternates between platformer stages and one-on-one tournament battles, and Arino must finish the world tournament at the end of the game to win.

Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu

Tenka no Goikenban (Mito Koumon)
Season 15Episode 1560 min

Tenka no Goikenban (Mito Koumon)

Mito Koumon is a Famicom game sort of based on the long-running historical TV drama of the same name, featuring the old adventurer Mito Koumon and his band of followers. It’s an action adventure a little bit like the Ganbare Goemon games, but with more "adventure" — in other words, figuring out what to do half the time. Arino has to get through seven stage, which sounds promising, but it is a Sunsoft game, after all.
