Game Overview

"Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2: Karakuri Land" (also known outside Japan as Kid Niki 2) is a hidden gem from the NES era that cranks up the charm and challenge in all the right ways.

If you love retro games with a side of whimsy and a dash of old-school challenge, this one’s a must-play—whether you’re revisiting it for nostalgia or discovering it for the first time."
