User Rating: 9.8 | Yume Penguin Monogatari NES
This is the first Japanese game I've ever played, and is still really high on the list.

Gameplay - I really love how this game plays. It's very clear what you have to do also. You need to get Fat-B-Gon to make your penguin lose weight. As you accomplish this task you gain new abbilities such as kicking and shooting letters of some sort. There are two types of levels: Plane and platformer. The plane levels are similar to Gradius, and always have bosses at the end. The platforming levels are often wacky, such as getting to the top of a cake that is under repair. Nonetheless, this game's gameplay is spectaular.

Graphics - The graphics in this game are always funny, hippos, rice ball shooting volcanoes, living frosting, and exploding fruit. The graphics are also colorful and happy-go-lucky. I can't say a whole lot about the graphics, but Pentaro looks extremly funny when he is fat.

Sound - A lot of the music is interesting, and can can become stuck in your head. The sounds are funny, and sometimes seem cutesy. But overall, they work very well.

Replay Value- Not really that replayable, but hard enough to last you a very long time.
