Item Description

Pocky is enjoying a quiet cup of tea at her shrine when Rocky the raccoon comes running with bad news: the Nopino goblins, normally harmless pranksters, have turned violent under some mysterious spell. That gentle setup is the last calm moment in Pocky & Rocky, Natsume's 1992 Super Nintendo shooter, a game far tougher than its cheerful art lets on.

Pocky fights with the tools of a Shinto shrine maiden. She throws a stream of ofuda, paper charms, in any direction, swings her purification wand to knock back enemies and stray projectiles up close, and can slide out of danger at the last second. Rocky handles differently, pelting enemies with leaves and relying on tanuki tricks of his own, so choosing between them changes how you approach a stage. Power-ups strengthen the shots, bombs clear the screen in an emergency, and the enemies come in relentless waves of hopping goblins, drifting spirits and stranger things drawn from Japanese folklore.

The real magic happens with two players. Simultaneous co-op lets Pocky and Rocky fight side by side, and the game is busy enough that teamwork matters: one player covering the flank while the other pushes forward is often the only way through. Solo, it is a stern challenge, with screen-filling bosses and attack patterns that reward memorization far more than button mashing. The pixel art is lively and full of small jokes, and the soundtrack has a bright, Japanese-flavored bounce that suits the shrine-and-village setting perfectly.

In Japan the game was released as Kiki Kaikai: Nazo no Kuro Manto, a sequel to Taito's 1986 arcade game KiKi KaiKai, but most American players met Pocky right here with no idea of her arcade roots. Its reputation has grown steadily as players went looking for the best co-op games on the console, and both its 1994 sequel and the modern Pocky & Rocky Reshrined build on what this cartridge established. The original still has the purest version of the formula: two heroes, one screen and an endless supply of goblins.

In any case, I can not handle this by myself. I need your help." Who on earth has cast the spell and are controlling the Nopino goblins? And what for? Find out as Pocky and Rocky battle the Goblins in this epic adventure from Natsume.
