They announced a new Paper Mario game and it’s out in 2 months!
Greetings from my hovel on the shores of the Bow.
Today I learned about a Super Famicom game called “UFO Kamen Yakisoba – Kettler no Kuroi Inbou”. If you don’t know, the Super Famicom is name of the console that would be released in North America as the Super Nintendo. The game is a side-scrolling beat-em-up of the type that was very common in the mid 90’s in the arcades and on the 16-bit consoles of the era. It features as its protagonist the mascot UFO KAMEN YAKISOBA, a costumed vigilante from a series of commercials for Yakisoba instant noodles from Nissin Foods. He would do battle with a nefarious villain named Kettler who appears to be a man in a onesie with a kettle on his head. There was apparently a feature film produced in 1994.
So. To review: A super-nintendo beat-em-up based on a commercial for instant noodles that would go on to be a major motion picture.
Heck of a start to a thursday.
