Perman - Enban wo Torikaese!! (Japan) Game

"Perman: Enban wo Torikaese!!" is a hidden gem from the NES era that brings the wacky, superhero charm of the classic "Perman" manga and anime to life. Imagine suiting up as a kid-turned-superhero, zipping around with a mask and cape, and taking on quirky villains in a side-scrolling adventure. The game nails that nostalgic, lighthearted vibe with colorful sprites, simple but fun platforming, and a playful tone that feels like stepping into an episode of the show.

What makes it stand out? The ability to swap disguises (or "enban") to unlock new powers—think of it as an early take on the "Mega Man" weapon-stealing mechanic, but with a goofier twist. It’s not the toughest NES game out there, but that’s part of its charm: easy to pick up, packed with personality, and a delightful time capsule for fans of retro anime or anyone craving a breezy, old-school action romp. If you love obscure licensed games with heart, this one’s a blast from the past worth checking out!
