omg I recognize some of the ninja turtles sounds and graphics. Fuma is totally swinging like Leonardo does in the Ninja turtles NES game. Then again, Konami does like to reuse their pause jingle for everything.
It had impressive visuals and original gameplay. It really caught me by surprise. I have played hundreds of NES games since the mid 80's. Nothing like this.
There's a new Getsu Fuuma Den game out now that came with this bundled with it. I used this walkthrough to help me complete it after trying on my own for about an hour. Thanks for showing us the way!
Hey, I can't seem to find much info on the version that comes with Undying Moon. Is it just a straight port of the Famicom version or does it come with quality of life additions (rewind, save states, etc)? Thanks in advance.
Plot: In the way distant future a demon lord named Ryukotsuki escaped from hell and planned to conquer the world. The world is ruled by the 3 Getsu Brothers and they when to defeat the demon using the 3 Pulse Blades (Hadokens) that have been in the clan for generations. However, the brothers were defeated and only Fuma, the youngest, survived. He's on a quest to get his brothers stolen swords back, summon the spirits of his bros, and get revenge by slaying the demon. Thank you Wikipedia.
Yeah i remember i grinded the sword for hours in 1st level for my big brother because he made me do it so he could have easy journey later. He was like 10 and i was 7 or 8.
Wow... it toke me years searching for this game, i finish it in Japanese n there was no internet back them !!, it was a blast when bought candle to light caves, luv the soundtrack, keep up the good work, love ur content
Excellent graphics, great character animation, lots of weapons, special feats, catchy music. Different types of combat perspective. The only problem is that it can be repetituve.

This came out in the 80s here in the Philippines. Played it in Super Famicom, really spooked playing it and didn't understand the game since the language and text was in Japanese. A remake for PC, PS4 or PS5 version would be awesome.
Play this and Konami Wai Wai World when I was like grade 5, has to buy a strategy guide I don't understand a word of Japanese. But it had such good time and good music too, Konami made so many great games back in the days
thank you for this i finally recall the game i wnat to play over the years i have this 25years ago and its written by japanese on the console i didnt finish this game because my mom stop me to play every hour then my nes broke now i finally know the title of this game and hopefully brought nes and this console. thank you uploaded
It took me 35 years to find the name of the game coz it was in Japanese and no internet back then. I just borrowed thie game from my cousin for about a week and get addicted to it but Unfortunately i was able to finish this game for its so damn hard. Thanks for the upload
I admit I do not know much about traditional japanese music, tempos etc. or limitations of the sound chip when it is emulating them but the first stage theme sounds very much like the Legend of Kage game theme.
tomlion0116 an old konami famicon game made right after konami made the first castlevaniia, its badass, unfortunately it was only in japan, so you would have to pirate an english rom hack to play it like its being played here
+tomlion0116 Getsu fuuma den (the legend of getsu) originally made for the famicon but there exists a rom for the NES. I used to play it on my nds R4 but it's pretty hard
I’m guessing this was made using the same engine Konami used to make TMNT? Same sound effects, and gameplay is very similar with the overworld/side scrolling perspective switches and the sword slashing animation.
Hard limit of 5 games per year. Konami established Ultra as a way to sidestep this limitaiton, as Konami of Japan was releasing as many as ten games a year. Ultra was soon making licensed games in addition to releasing some Konami titles.
The similarities are evident but there is no confirmed story about. Probably both games has been made by using the same engine, but that’s only my opinion.
The RUclips algorithm suggested this. I'm getting Zelda II vibes watching this, but the graphics and power-ups are cooler. The 2 games came out only 6 months apart in Japan.
how you knew or recognize the way in the dungeon. Everytime i got loss n pissoff while i play in the dungeon. Because of these i quit playing it whn i was a child.
Also, if you buy the Early Access, they're legally giving you the original NES/Famicom game. I dunno if it's translated or not though, still no info about it.
The thing to remember is that younger gamers may not remember nor have been born before relatively obscure 8-bit titles, but that don’t mean they’re unable to acknowledge or appreciate the titles themselves if not only their inclusions or cameos in future projects like HoD or SP. I was 2 when Sonic and Kirby debuted, but I’m no less of a fanatic of either. :3

I was thinking that exact thing

Hey there buddy :)

I can definitely see the influence this game has on a lot of later titles, such as Castlevania, Zelda II, Metroid, Gargoyle's Quest, and many others.
Yeah, Zelda 2 was the first thing I thought of when i saw the overworld map transition to side scrolling action

This is my first favorite game ever
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used this engine. Sounds, movement (sword movement looks like Leonardo), overhead/side scroller concept.
This game looks so fun! The sound, the look, and everything!

This came out in the 80s here in the Philippines. Played it in Super Famicom, really spooked playing it and didn't understand the game since the language and text was in Japanese. A remake for PC, PS4 or PS5 version would be awesome.
Reminiscent of Zelda 2, with the top down map travel and side scrolling fights. Nice.
Also: "Reclaim the Hadoukens" is the best mission ever.
Who's Hyping for the Getsu Fuma Den remake this May?!?!
Ooh! Ooh! Memememe!
Is it a remake or a new game?
Gameplay looks fun but the backgrounds are a bit too much. Look amazing tho
@@Ridku13 is supposed to be a New Game

There's some really awesome 8-bit yōkai in this game
This is still on of the best games on the NES/Famicom and that overworld theme is so damn catchy :D

Yup
yes... is true XD

Harmony of Despair brought me here.
AngraLuna17 Same. I don't know why they added her but not Juste, Maxim, Lecarde Sisters or Albus tho
Probably because those are all awful Castlevania characters that noone cares about. I'd rather play as Hammer than another round of Juste Belmont.
HarpoTheVillain Good for you.
Admittedly, Albus sounds fun.
And at least we got the skeleton from Circle of the Moon.
i finished this around 1990...i still remember the music clearly.
So that's where those TMNT sound effects came from.
Efectos de sonidos, Tortugas Ninja 1 Nes.
2:33 Music is exact same as in Legend of Kage game... interesting, are the games related in some way?
Most likely it's a traditional Japanese song.
This Has Elements of ZELDA II: THE ADVENTURE OF LINK... Plus, It Has Some of the Sound Effects from TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
53:34 can someone fill me in on these Lightning Metroids? wtf? They're the same sprite base right?
Those NES Konami sounds are delightful as always.
I admit I do not know much about traditional japanese music, tempos etc. or limitations of the sound chip when it is emulating them but the first stage theme sounds very much like the Legend of Kage game theme.
1:10 By the power of grayskull, I have the power !!!
Haha !
Fuma is dlc in Castlevania Harmony of Despair. He even has an original level. Very fun to play.
Such a great game. Had great time playing the Japanese version a LONG time ago.
This music reminds me a lot of Goonies 2.
You gotta love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sound effects in this game.
1:12:17 - how did the get away with this?
are those bead doors with skull door nobs? i like their style
Japanese Castlevania.
+Pedro Juan Well That would explain why Getsu Fuuma is in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
Soma Cruz It doesn't explain why Nathan, Juste, Maxim, Lecarde Sisters and Albus aren't in the game >:(
Sam ZXW Albus was planned though.

But really was Albus planned?

Should do a remake
@Niche Retro and PC
Love the soundtrack!
This game reminds me somewhat of Kenseiden on the Sega Master System- lone samurai fighting demons situation.
I wonder why Konami didn't make a sequel of this game? It's one of their best games along with Castlevania, Gradius and their other titles.
And i wonder why this game is Japan Exclusive and not released worldwide in English.
Is it me or do the sound effects sound the same as the first TMNT game for NES?
they finally announced a remake of this gem👌
What an interesting game
if you can finish this game..you got SKILLS!
props to Tsunao
ryanc519 i finish this game in 1989, japanese version
Overworld looking like StarTropics.
Sound effects Turtles Ninja 1 Nes.

Hard limit of 5 games per year. Konami established Ultra as a way to sidestep this limitaiton, as Konami of Japan was releasing as many as ten games a year. Ultra was soon making licensed games in addition to releasing some Konami titles.
Wait, was Zangetsu from bloodstained inspired by this?
Watching this while playing the deluxe version since Konami couldn't bother translating the text for us 😑
How do you know which direction to take in the maze?
NIce game. Its a pity I didnt had played it at my NES times.Looks like samurai castlevania
Fuma is playable in Castlevania Harmony of Despair.
You can still play it, you know.
It's almost like a reskinned Zelda 2, except for the 3rd person view dungeon bits.
The world and theme of the game feels like very Onimusha and Nioh to me
Is this game similiar with Namco's Genpei Touma-Den ?
Same sound-effects as the first TMNT game on NES. Anyone know the history behind this?
The similarities are evident but there is no confirmed story about. Probably both games has been made by using the same engine, but that’s only my opinion.

Really does remind me of TMNT on the NES.
The Prequel to Nioh looks pretty bangin'
Those damage sounds from the final boss 2:10:40... so that's where Castlevania III got it.
1:24
Reminds me of Samurai Ghost for TurboGrafx-16
One of those monster types looks a lot like a metroid

TMNT has sounds effects from this game, if anything. It's from 1987. ^^ Not surprising, since both games were made by the same company, after all.
Contra used a sound effect from this too. :)
a tough ass game for sure

Nope. The staff are different
