~Shiren the Wanderer~

1000-Play Dungeon RPG, Thief and Synthesis

• First released in 1995, this is a roguelike RPG series set in a unique feudal Japan-inspired world. It is the flagship of the Mystery Dungeon franchise.

• Shiren and Koppa travel to the summit of Table Mountain. They seek a legendary "Sunlit Land" where a Golden Condor is said to live.

• The silent ronin Shiren travels with a talking weasel named Koppa. They are joined by allies like the sisterly Oryu and clumsy Pekeji.

• Players navigate randomly generated floors using turn-based moves. Dying causes the player to lose all levels and items, requiring a fresh start.

• The series debuted in the West in 2008 via a Nintendo DS remake. Overseas box art depicts Shiren as a fierce warrior rather than a smiling one.

• Praised for high replayability and deep strategy using "Melding Jars" for synthesis. The music utilizes East Asian instruments like shakuhachi.

• Its extreme difficulty is both a praised highlight and a source of frustration. Some monsters have "unfair" skills like Gaze's hypnosis.

• Late-game balance makes defense more vital than attack power. Certain item combinations, like specific jar effects, can trivialize the game's challenge.

•It is considered the foundation of the console roguelike genre in Japan. Its most passionate fans are known as "Shi-Rangers".

~Super Buster Bros.~

Clearing the later stages is a matter of luck.

• Super Pang is a puzzle-action game where players pop bouncing bubbles with a harpoon gun to clear screens.

• Play as the Buster Brothers to save a world under attack by mysterious, bouncing bubbles.

• Travel across 40 worldwide stages, popping bubbles before time runs out to advance.

• Survive 99 levels of a relentless "bubble rain," filling a meter with every pop to progress.

• Bubbles split into smaller ones when hit; once they reach the smallest size, they vaporize completely.

• Known as Super Buster Bros. in NA. The SNES port is single-player only, unlike the arcade.

• Praised for its simple yet deep gameplay and beautiful backgrounds of world-famous landmarks.

• Items like "Dynamite" are double-edged, often turning the screen into a chaotic "living hell."

• The later stages are quite difficult. Since item drop rates are random, clearing stages feels like a matter of luck.

• The series continued with Pang 3 and Pang Adventures, appearing on modern consoles.

~Mario Paint~

Bringing the joy of making things and playing to children.

• Mario Paint (1992) for SNES was a pioneer tool bundled with a mouse, allowing users to draw, animate, and compose music on a console.

• It features four modes: Drawing Screen for art, Animation Land for loops, Sound Collage for music, and the Gnat Attack mini-game.

• There is no plot, but it features Mario, Yoshi, and original icons like Undodog and the fly-swatting boss King Watinga.

• Highly praised for its playful UI that made complex PC-style creation accessible and educational for children and beginners.

• Significant limits like only 16 colors, a single save slot, and music restricted to C major with only three-note polyphony.

• Some critics felt technical constraints made it a "novelty" that could not serve as a viable tool for serious artistic work.

• Overseas versions use English stamps, while the Japanese version includes Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji character sets.

• It inspired successors like Mario Artist, WarioWare D.I.Y., and Super Mario Maker, which carried on its creative spirit.

• The title screen has interactive secrets for every letter, and the "Apphun" voice sound became a popular internet meme.

• A groundbreaking bridge between gaming and art that proved digital creativity could be affordable and intuitive for everyone.

~Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden~

A groundbreaking "festival game"

• Released in 1993, this SNES fighter covers the Dragon Ball series from the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament through the Cell Games.

• The roster features 10 base fighters and 5 unlockables, including Super Saiyan forms and iconic villains like Frieza and Perfect Cell.

• A unique system splits the screen during distance fights and utilizes a radar to track character and energy blast positions.

• Powerful "Special Moves" trigger cinematic cutscenes where defenders must input specific commands to guard, deflect, or absorb attacks.

• Known simply as Dragon Ball Z in Europe. The French version renamed Mr. Satan to "Enfer". Modern Switch ports replaced BGM due to legal issues.

• It was the first game to feature anime voice actors and successfully captured the series' high-speed aerial combat and energy clashes.

• The controls are often criticized for being stiff and laggy, while special move command inputs are notoriously strict and difficult to execute.

• Overpowered defensive options like "Deflect" make big moves risky. Certain characters like Perfect Cell possess "broken" unblockable attacks.

• Its massive success, selling over 1.4 million units, spawned many sequels and defined the "Butōden" sub-series for decades.

• Producer Suzuki promoted it in cosplay. Despite balance issues, it is a groundbreaking "festival game" that laid the series' foundation.
