The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is a light-hearted action-adventure game for 1-2 players by Konami, and was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. It is the first game in the Japanese video game series Ganbare Goemon to have a western release.
This was a total nostalgia game for me- probably the 2nd or 3rd game I ever played for the SNES when it first came out. Man, was it tricky at parts, a fun platformer with RPG-ish type elements but some really s***ty difficulty spikes. Overall I kind of liked it but don’t need to ever go through that again.
Highly original
Strange and silly story
Kind of difficult
