Play Famicom Jump - Eiyuu Retsuden (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Famicom Jump: Eiyuu Retsuden is basically a fever dream of '80s manga nostalgia crammed into an NES cartridge. You start off picking your favorite Jump hero—Goku, Kenshiro, even Arale from Dr. Slump—and suddenly you're thrown into this weirdly charming RPG where everyone shares the same chunky pixel art style. The first time I played, I spent way too long just staring at the roster screen trying to decide who to pick.

It’s part strategy, part button-mashing brawler, with these little story vignettes ripped straight from the manga. The combat’s simple but satisfying, especially when you pull off a special move and the screen flashes like an old-school anime attack. And yeah, it’s all in Japanese, but half the fun is recognizing characters and guessing what ridiculous scenario they’ve been thrown into together. If you’ve ever wanted to see Kenshiro team up with a gag character from Kochikame, this is your weird, wonderful chance.

Honestly, it feels like digging up a time capsule—the kind of game you’d rent as a kid and obsess over even though you barely understood it. Still holds up if you’re into retro oddities.
