Obocchama Kun (Japan)

Obocchama Kun gameplay context

If you remember the distinctive blue PC Engine cases lining Japanese game stores in 1991, you've probably spotted Obocchama Kun nestled among them. This vibrant action-platformer brought Masaru Miyazaki's mischievous manga aristocrat to life with the kind of colorful spritework that defined the Turbografx-16 era. It's a playful, sometimes frantic side-scroller that captures the chaotic energy of the original comics perfectly. Obocchama Kun includes region marker: Japan, which helps separate this page from nearby ports, regional releases, and similarly named entries.

• Obocchama Kun entry snapshot
  Obocchama Kun includes region marker: Japan, which helps separate this page from nearby ports, regional releases, and similarly named entries. The strongest visible context is the Turbografx-16 platform and its general play style. Emulator core: pce.
• A Slick Manga Translation
  The game nails the aesthetic - from Obocchama's smug animations to familiar rivals like the karate kid Yumeo. It feels like flipping through a 16-bit version of Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic.
• Surprisingly Solid Platforming
  Don't let the cartoon look fool you; there's tight, weighty jump physics here that reminded me of Hudson's best efforts. Navigating the castle's moving bookshelves or the cloud platforms requires genuine precision.
• Packed with 90s Character
  Between the jangly, synthesized renditions of the anime's theme and the exaggerated slapstick enemy reactions, the entire experience screams late-80s/early-90s Japanese pop culture.
