Nintama Rantarou 2

About

Nintama Rantarou 2 is a side-scrolling platformer that tasks players with navigating tricky levels and defeating enemies using a mix of acrobatics and weapons. Released in 1996, it runs on the Super Famicom and Satellaview, with the latter version arriving as a limited-time downloadable broadcast. Single-player only, the game leans into straightforward action with a focus on precise jumps and timing. The Satellaview release aired in two separate windows between 1998 and 1998, adding a niche layer to its legacy. While the game itself doesn’t deviate much from standard platformer tropes, its short development cycle and Nintendo’s involvement make it a curiosity for collectors. The title built on the original Nintama Rantarou’s formula but didn’t expand the series beyond Japan.
