Super Wagyan Land for SFC


Image: MobyGames

Super Wagyan Land

More of an edutainment title


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Namco

Year: 1991

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Gameplay is a blend of genres, including the most basic platforming you've ever seen, word play (shiritori) and card matching. Again, the platforming is braindead simple. Just move to the right for 20-30 seconds to complete the level. You can fire a projectile at enemies. This stuns them for a few seconds. Between levels you play the same two minigames. The first is a guess-the-picture game where a distorted sprite slowly comes into view. There are only three sprites so it's pretty easy to memorize these without being able to read the Japanese characters. The other game is a matching game, I guess, although you have unlimited tries so there's no skill required. Honestly, this plays more like an edutainment title. Avoid it.


Level Design Score: 0

Level Design Notes:

Terrible level design. You basically just hold right and hump every so often. The minigames require no skill either.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Cute sprites and an overworld. The game is deceptively inviting.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Looks nice, like one of those Pac-Man platformers. Nice foreground and background artwork. The sprites have an NES+ quality


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:


Overall Score: 12
