ganbare goemon only relesed his first game in the us but this series get bettter and btter as you go on. theres new attacks more features and new playable chracaters. I f you can get a super famicom any game in this series would be good. it isnt reqiered to no japeness but it may help, even if you just no a little.one of the best features od all mystical ninja games is the amazing co op 2 played and this one dosnt leave that out. over all the 2ed game is as good or better than the first one and its sad that no more mystical ninja games ae going to be relesed in america : [
