Play Fushigi no Umi no Nadia (Japan) Online
You guide Nadia through clunky airship jumps and underwater sections where momentum feels weirdly satisfying once you get it—just don’t expect the enemies to go easy on you. That boomerang throw animation still looks sharp after all these years.
Fushigi no Umi no Nadia on NES is one of those weird, charming relics from the late 80s—it turns the anime into a side-scroller where you jump between airships, solve simple puzzles, and occasionally get wrecked by enemies that feel way too fast for an 8-bit game. The sprites actually look great for the era, especially Nadia’s little animations when she throws her boomerang thing.
That said, the controls take some getting used to—your jumps feel floaty at first, and some platforming sections are brutal until you memorize the enemy patterns. The underwater levels? Surprisingly fun once you figure out the weird momentum. And yeah, the music slaps in that classic NES way, all bleepy and energetic.
It’s definitely more of a curiosity than a must-play, but if you’re into obscure anime tie-ins or just love janky retro platformers, this one’s got personality to spare. Just keep that reset button handy for when the difficulty decides to spike.
