«©NCSX» The one-eyed goblin named Kitaro returns to the video gaming fold in a remake of an old 8-bit Famicom game. Kitaro traipses around in 2D environs with his left eye named Medama-oyaji and battles fellow goblins, spooks, and end-level bosses of the undead sort. Kitaro can fire off projectile attacks and glide around by hefting an makeshift "parachute" over himself to traverse wide distances and platforms. For gamers who are interested in the goblins and monsters featured in the game, a bestiary may be viewed which lists the different creatures in a gallery. Every time Kitaro kills a new creature, its portrait may be viewed on the touch screen. Bonus Schwag

NCS Game Notes
» The new NDS Kitaro game sold better than the new NDS Naruto game this week. Maybe Naruto's saturated the market?» Kitaro's primary weapon is hair. That's right, every time you press the "Y" button, Kitaro flicks his head forward so that his needle-like hair flies forward and kills creatures. His alternate attack is a sandal-projectile move where he kicks his feet forward (Press the X button) to send wooden sandals sailing through the stage like weapons of mass destruction. The special thing about the sandals is their miraculous tendency to return to Kitaro feet. » The first end-level boss is a big purple rabbit with crazy eyes. It's primary attack is its tongue which flicks out horizontally. The rabbit also pounds the ground with its fists. Kitaro's strategy is to jump, float, and shoot hair needles. The rabbit's power-meter is located on the bottom of the screen and it'll succumb fairly quickly to Kitaro's attacks. This document is ©NCSX 2008. All rights reserved.
