Cool fact: the character designs were done by Hideki Tanaami, the same illustrator who designed Klonoa and their iconic main enemy Mū from "Klonoa: Door to Phantomile" for the PS1. Also the music was composed by none other than Yoshinori Kawamoto.
This could be a pretty fun game to play with/after taking a Japanese 101 course, because the Japanese level in it is about that high. So in a way it can be an educational game, too.
I discovered this series of games when they did fan translations of the first 2 games on the NES...these games are absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm 38 too, and I still love these fun, solid, family-friendly platformers...reminds me a bit of the Kirby games. 😃
I played this a while back, and one thing I noticed was that some enemies seemed to be recycled in Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, a fantastic PS1 platformer. The spike enemy design was ripped directly from Wagan paradise, and other enemies were quite reminiscent, such as a ball enemy in the forest. Also, as a side note, you should give it a try if you haven't already, it's not from the 16-bit era but you might appreciate it nonetheless
This looks so polished that you could tell me it was made by internal Nintendo devs who worked on the Super Mario World titles, slumming it under nom de plumes for Namco, and I'd find it believable.
2:50 that's a Spiker, an enemy from the Klonoa series... or, I guess, Klonoa reused this enemy later. Funny, both series are made by Namco and use enemies as platforms, and even share enemies. Boss battles aside, I'm really interested in checking this game, the music and visuals are amazing.
Both Chronoa and this game are made by the same staff. Contrary to the fun of the game, this game was not popular with fans of the Wagyan series. The reason is that there was no popular "Shiritori" game. However, the creators loved this game, so they probably introduced the same enemy to Chronoa.
The art style reminds me of KDL3 crossed with DoReMi Fantasy, or Kirby's Adventure if it were for the SNES. The colors just bounce out at you. You can definitely see the beginnings of the Klonoa series here too. After all, Namco made both.
If anyone knows what the stars you collect actually DO, or what the "POW" meter is or how to use it, please leave a comment and let me know. I tried every gosh darn button, button combo, d-pad direction plus button, and nothing worked
@@jasonnikolic Kirby doesn't typically have that kind of collectible or a POW meter, though. KDL3 had a "star meter" where you collected 30 small stars to fill it to gain an extra life, but afaik that's it.
Thanks for another great video, love the series! Managed to find a breakdown of this info you wanted online but happy to help track down/translate any obscure Japanese info if you needed it again! :) www.sara-net.jp/?p=23800 [Pow Meter] By popping the bubbles found in the stage, you cycle your projectile through "Wa" -> "Gya" -> "Ga" -> "Gya!", with each incrementally stacking in size. This is reflected in the 'Pow' graphic at the bottom so isn't something that you can directly use. [Stars] By collecting 100 stars in a stage you get access to the bonus stage (the selection of mini games that you referenced in the video).
It's been a few years since I played this, but I'm pretty sure the more letters of the POW meter you have (by collecting powerups) the bigger and stronger your projectile becomes, and I think stars just give you an extra life at 100.
I took a look at the first game, and I guess the POW meter makes you invincible after collecting enough tiny versions of yourself? I’m still clueless about the stars though
I read Japanese fluently and the opening sequence talks about the legend of the dragonborn and how they must work to travel to a land called skyrim to help save their world.
I own this one, and I'm glad you covered it. I play this one solely for the visuals, music and level design as well. In fact, the level variety here is on par with many of the better 16-bit platform games. There is a strong level of quality gameplay here for a youth geared experience.
SNESDrunk, you are my hero and I love your videos. Just when there's enough games for me to want to play, you bring another one. I just want to say, "Thanks!"
I took a look at the text starting at 1:11. This is a rough translation but: Karin: Hey, Dear... Have you noticed anything strange about the island lately? Takuto: Hmm... Karin: They say they fell the "Tree of Smiles" and animals have started to show up." From what I can infer, Karin and Takuto are a married couple (she calls him "anata") and this tree of theirs is related to the balance of the island or something.
I'm so glad you reviewed this! I had never heard of it until you put out that 'Upbeat SNES Music' comp a little while ago and the track from this totally blew me away. I hope it gets a translation soon, but even if I have to fudge my way through the minigames this looks like an absolute delight to play. Thank you!
I'd say the problem with kid's video games is that it either means regular style video games aimed at children, sometimes based off a children's property, or 50+ dollar console game cart versions of educational PC software. Quite a few fall into the latter, especially the NES Sesame Street titles which most were just console versions of stuff on PC. Not to mention that some of those game designers and companies (especially Hi-Tech) worked specifically on said PC software and didn't know how to make a good console game. Basically, what I'm saying is you need a video game company to make games directed at kids that play like video games. Otherwise you get "Color a Dinosaur." Could you imagine someone paying NES cart bucks for something that's basically a 2 dollar discount computer game?
Thank you for another great video. I had the exact same thought about how the music had a Katamari-like vibe. So I went through the lists of composers in the Katamari series, but no: Not a single song seems to be composed by either of the people involved in composing for Wagyan Paradise. Always great to get some more great music to listen to though, so thanks again.
Just seeing several seconds of game footage at the beginning, before you even said anything, it looks to be quite good in a lot of ways, for what it is(a game for kids). But it looks well made and legitimately fun. I'll have to look into this series a bit. Namco was pretty reliable back in those days. Thanks for sharing.
I recently discovered this game in a RUclips video and I don't even remember which once. They also gave this game a ringing endorsement despite the languge barrier. This seems like a game to add to my collection.
I've never played this game but if you want I can translate the story for you. 日本語を話します。 (I can speak Japanese -- I also have spoke to you a few times and I'm happy to help). Thanks Drunk for keeping me entertained during lockdown!
I discovered this game while looking through some of the tracks one of the composers of klonoa made, which if you haven't played klonoa i highly recommend it. To play or just listen to the ost. Its on psone
Man, when I watch you videos, I see your SNES drunk merchandise, and I am really digging it. I think I may pick up both your shirt and mug. (On payday)
I got this game a few years ago off of eBay for very cheap and decided to try it out, then I couldn’t stop playing until I finished it. It is now one of my favorite games on snes!
@SNESdrunk and everyone watching I am not the world's greatest translator, but here is my attempt to explain the Japanese in the video. This is a great game for new students of the language as it is entirely in hiragana and katakana (like the limited memory NES games), so I may use it as one of my group-effort, play-along translation games. 1:05 あなたは なんさい ですか？ [ｘ][ｘ]さい どっちのコースにします？ かんたん ふつう どっちのワギャンにします？ タクト カリン これで いいですか？ はい 1:11 「ねぇあなた、さいきん しまのようすが へんじゃありません？」 「ふむ」 「“ほほえみのき”も たおれちゃいましたし…」 「それにどうぶつたちが あばれだしてるって はなしですよ」 3:21 ０てん あと １８てん だい １もん これなんだ？ [][][][ね][] 3:43 [と][け][い] このえはなんだ？
This actually looks really good for a kids game! For those interested, the original Famicom title has a full English translation patch. The 2nd Famicom title has a nearly complete English patch, and there is an addendum that brings it even closer to being complete. Sadly, it apparently still has an untranslated ending. None of the other games have been translated.
I remember spending hours playing this game as a kid. I couldn’t understand sh*t but I was mesmerized by the graphics and the music which is simply amazing!
Wagan also got a reboot for the Nintendo DS wich is called "Hirameki Action: Chibikko Wagan no Ōkina Bōken" ("Flashing Action: The Big Adventure of Little Wagan")
i was going through my famicom games in storage this weekend and found my wagyan 1 and 2 games and was just thinking i should get this one soon. thanks for the affirmation lol
Always surprised by just how many games there are in the SNES library, how many great ones there are, and how many of those great ones I’ve never heard of.
They went with that minigame stuff in every Wagyan game. Those are usually word chains (so something you really need the language for), but not only. Only the Famicom ones are translated to my knowledge, sans Wagyan Land 3.
AHHH I accidentally opened like the same video in like a shit ton of tabs at the same time somehow, some weird bug- and your "SNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" part of your intro started playing in all of them at once dear god that was horrifying.
My daughter is going to love this. Thanks snes drunk! Her favorite game is magical popin. Another game you recommend. You know a game is good when 4 year old girls and grown men can both enjoy it.
Geez 4 years old? she must be a gaming prodigy in the making Lol. Magical Pop'n is a pretty hard game especially when you get to the later parts or trying to find all the stuff heh
I'm kind of confused about what makes this specifically a "kids game." There are plenty of cute and colorful platformers like this on the SNES that are considered "all ages" not "kids games." When I hear "kids game" I think about stuff like Ecco Jr. or Mario's Early Years where they're either educational or it's just impossible to lose
Hey dude, you should check out Dyna Brothers 2 (and the first one for that matter), kinda obscure RTS(?) hidden gem on the sega genesis, I think it's all japanese, but totally playable. Reminds me of playing Majesty: Fantasy kingdom sim at very young age not understanding english, you can menage it after some point
Omg i finally found this, thank you so much for the review As a Vietnamese, i painfully love this game so much because of the aesthetic (funfact, i played this game before i even play Kirby) And because of the language barier, the guessing mini games are such pain in the @ss but i still managed to get through the entire game back when i wad like 8 or 9 years old Watching this video takes me back omg :((( i'm currently 26
This game is like a Klonoa Predecessor. Both are by Namco, holding jump makes you flutter, low difficulty, similar music, using enemies for platforming, and has a few auto scriolling levels mixed in. Edit: hadn't read the comments looks like this has already been pointed out...
Yes, i love this type of colorful plataformers. Anything kid friendly is friendly to me, since I'm not good at skill games. That's why I love the Lego games.
at 1:20 they're saying that things on the island have been strange lately, the tree of smiles has fallen over and the animals have started acting disruptively. also what the heck, 38? to me that voice will always belong to a 23-year-old.
That soundtrack is startlingly fresh sounding; that drum-and-bass beat wouldn't be out of place in some modern IDM or chiptune. Also, am I going crazy, or are the intros sounding slightly longer? I'm not complaining or anything, but ever since Race Drivin' I've thought you were increasing the length to screw with people.

Hey, the floating enemies from Klonoa!
I was looking for this coment. Do you think these games are related?
@@GazelessStare maybe they got some ideas from this game for Klonoa.

Greetings from Montreal
Thanks for the review Gramps !
Yes, i love this type of colorful plataformers. Anything kid friendly is friendly to me, since I'm not good at skill games. That's why I love the Lego games.
Aren't the "spike enemies" the ones from Klonoa?
That’s SNES music?! It sounds so good and modern
Your the same age as me and based on your references to this and that in various videos sounds like we grew up liking many similar things. Neat & O.
It looks so cute. Reminds me of the Twinbee platformer and a little bit of Yoshi's Island. Sad to see this fall into obscurity.
I love the Wagyan series!
4:06 I'm pretty sure that I saw that spiked enemy in the Klonoa games.
I'm gonna play it, thanx for the review.
Nice harmonizing on that snesdrunk
2:48 *_*DKC2's mine cart PTSD_**
Darnit you were should've saved this intro for a Daytona U.S.A episode!
at 1:20 they're saying that things on the island have been strange lately, the tree of smiles has fallen over and the animals have started acting disruptively.
also what the heck, 38? to me that voice will always belong to a 23-year-old.
These characters look really familiar. I’m pretty sure one had a cameo in a 90’s Godzilla movie😆.
This game very similar if not identical to klonoa, they share some mechanics and even enemies (the flying spike thingy)
