    I think we can all agree "Ghost Sweeper Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body" is an excellent title for a video game.

    I find it amusing how most nes and snes games of the 80s and early 90s with anime styled characters in them, had box art with characters that look almost nothing like the source material.

      The localization is a clusterfuck for the most part when it comes to the box art. Just look at the Rockman 1/Mega Man 1 box arts. The us version is so impossibly awful

    The game actually does have a Stage Select code you can input at the main menu. Takes a few tries sometimes, but it's definitely there.
    Kendo Rage is actually among one of my favorite SNES games. I love its humor and personality, the art style and character designs (drawn by Ano Shimizu, who's done a handful of games that mostly stayed in Japan but this and Cacoma Knight being the rare exceptions that got an NA release) and of course its fun gameplay.

    I actually own a CIB copy of this game from back in the day. I thought it was pretty fun, if a little unfair in some areas. I loved the anime aesthetic too, because we didn't have many games like that back in the day.
    Tip: You can control Jo with L and R when she walks onto the screen after resetting the game.

    I love the SNES box art for this game as well, they made it look like some kind of DnD game and the perspective is completely off to the point where I, a person who cant draw to save my life, notices it.

    • @CaptainNnif
      @CaptainNnif 6 лет назад

      Ken Williams The box art is a goofy train wreck; it's disingenuous, crummy (the top girl's right wrist is thin as a pencil for example), needlessly sexualized (this is a game meant for youngish players), and tacky. It looks more like Mortal Kombat than D&D.

    • @DSan-kl2yc
      @DSan-kl2yc 6 лет назад

      CaptainNnif umm no it's fine. The wrists are fine. Reminds me of 90s stuff. Like ads for DND. But also something else.
      And there's no over sexualization. The game is probably meant for early teen to young boys honestly. But possibly even girls. When it comes to this, it's similar.
      I looked at the Japanese one and it's basically a soready showing off her legs.
      Japan doesn't mind marketing girls as sexy as long as it's age appropriate for the target audience. And like I said, even shoujo would show off legs. That's why its hard to tell from that time period.

    • @DSan-kl2yc
      @DSan-kl2yc 6 лет назад

      CaptainNnif the weirdest thing sre just their weapons. A tube sword... Guess cause it's kendo but either it's meant to be a fantasy weapon or someone didn't understand a kendo sword.
      I wanna say the art reminds me of phantasy star a little but im really blanking.
      I will it's not accurate to the goody.style within so someone buying it based on the art might be the wrong audience. And the audience that would buy it based on the game art may pass it up based on the cover art

    • @CaptainNnif
      @CaptainNnif 6 лет назад

      D. San Jesus; there's no need to be a contrarian; I criticized a videogame box art, not your grandmother. You don't get to decide what's fine any more than I do and thinking that way is a garbage and disrespect excuse to hand-wave away my opinion. I explored google images for 90s DnD art and every artwork put a tiny focus on the look of a character compared to the grand event at hand, and even then the woman were universally wearing full body armor that seemed appropriate for the vague time and places in history that DnD barrows from. Next there is Phantasy Star. The fourth game in the series had a woman in scanty black latex, but again, the focus was not on her but establishing the setting. Compare that to this box art which has two half-naked sexy chicks in a cat fight taking up 75% of the view and tell me with a straight fucking face that this is on the same level as the wondrous, tasteful, imaginative sci-fi/fantasy art of Phantasy Star or DnD.
      I think you were mistaken; when I said the left wrist, I meant her left, not ours. In fact that entire arm is tiny and with a crummy perspective.
      On multiple occasions, you contradicted yourself. How is this box art for young boys and even young girls if it's clearly directed at teen boys first and foremost? How is it not more sexualized if the western box art took off her skirt? And lastly, how. the. fuck. is this a fine box art if it caused the wrong people to buy it and the right people to skip it?

I guess it is called Kendo for a reason, but it ends up looking and feeling lame.
