Pocohontos

About

Pocohontos is an unlicensed Famicom adaptation of the Disney film Pocahontas developed by Ei-How Yang and published by Hosenkan Electronics in 1997. It follows the story of the historical figure in a side-scrolling adventure featuring platforming and exploration. The game sticks to the movie’s narrative but translates it into simple mechanics common to 16-bit era titles. Visuals and audio are stripped-down compared to Disney’s official releases but retain the core characters and setting. This obscure title exists outside official licensing, making it a rare find for collectors of unapproved Famicom games. With little community discussion and no major ratings, it remains a footnote in the platform’s library. Its existence highlights the niche world of unofficial ports from the late 90s. Released just before the Famicom’s decline, it’s now a curiosity for those deep-diving into regional gaming history.
