Doraemon: Aruke Aruke Labyrinth - Tutorial + World 1 - Stage 1

As the title implies, the 3 tutorial stages are played, followed by the first stage of the real deal. This is a Japan only game released for the Game Boy Color in 1999, in fact, all games based on the Doraemon license (a lot) were only released in Japan. If you don't know, Doraemon is a robotic cat from the future that came back in time to aid a schoolboy, Nobita Nobi, to change his future which is set to be miserable if nothing is done. The manga series was created as soon as 1969 and it enjoyed a lot of success in Japan. Here we have a puzzle game, very similar to another Japanese exclusive called Mario & Wario for the SNES. You get to choose between 3 characters (these are the difficulties, slow, normal, fast). While playing, you move a square over different objects to decide what to do. You can destroy certain blocks blocking the path, or you can place blocks to create a path, you can also destroy enemies, but more importantly, change your character's direction and speed. The goal is simply to get to the end of the stage, but as they get harder, combined with a time limit, I'd say this game must have been quite a challenge for children. In the first world, you can acquire lots of lives with no problem though, so that might help you for the later stages with enemies and environmental hazards. As a "cute" puzzle game, it's recommendable, and the concept of Doraemon aiding a schoolboy is there, in a way. Don't forget to give Mario & Wario a try, if you like the concept, watch this video of mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W1-pYDRWKM

nice vid capture. yeah i've seen a few doraemon reviews for the snes games and they always levelled around 30% so never bothered with it.. that and the obvious language barrier, still looks like a great character and I wouldn't mind watching some of the series if it was subbed

[DarkEvil87]

I'd understand the 30% reviews, because most of the games are made for young children and they are not too interesting or developed. It's really hard to find subbed episodes of Doraemon, but from what I hear, it's mainly a children's show (a good one, they say) with moral lessons for each episode. I'd still like to watch at least one episode, just to know what Japanese kids grew up with.

@Greatmaster297 The story is particularly boring if you don't understand Japanese. I can't say I do.
