Musya (pronounced like the word Musha) is one of many Super Nintendo games that started the pattern of ignoring Europe. It's a long-standing gaming tradition to treat the EU market as third rate.Anyway, its blackened aesthetic is sort of a rare deviation from the early days of the SNES. The pixel art horror style is something the Mega Drive would embrace much deeper, being the "hardcore" platform, as opposed to the more family friendly Nintendo. The unsettling shapes, suffocated by seas of dark outlines, are the driving force behind this platform game.Is it any good? I mean, judging on how we weigh games in modern times, the visuals are pretty striking. That kind of shine carries a lot. It sure looks cool :)There is ONE undeniable downside to the game. In Japan, the tanuki boss is shown with giant balls, as is often the case in Japanese culture. For the localized version, the poor critter gets neutered.RIP tanuki balls 😔Musya tanuki balls
