1989
A Famicom baseball game developed by Human and published by Bandai. It superficially resembles Namco's Famista series. Meimon! Daisan Yakyuubu ("Meimon! The Third Baseball Club") is a baseball sim for the Famicom that is based on a manga and anime of the same name about an underdog highschool baseball team and the drama that surrounds them. The player can access the game's story mode, which depicts scenes from the manga, by selecting "Dramatic Mode" from the title screen menu. This also adds character portraits to the main game mode. The game itself is a fairly standard NES baseball game. The pitching/batting perspective is from directly behind the batter, and the player moves the entire group of fielders simultaneously whenever the ball is hit. Graphically, the many super-deformed athletes resemble those of Namco's Famista (the series upon which RBI Baseball was based), which was very much the leading baseball franchise at the time.Mezase Pachi Pro: Pachio-kun
1987
The first game to feature Pachio-kun, the mascot for a series of pachinko-themed games by Coconuts Japan, Mezase Pachi Pro: Pachio-kun ("Aiming For Pachinko Pro: Pachio-kun") is simply a virtual pachinko hall with 72 different machines on which the player may try their luck. The game rewards attentive pachinko veterans by having several of the machines possess quirks, such as the frequency of payouts, certain pins being bent that will favor a ball's route to the bottom and the like. Pachio-kun simply has to lean in to examine the machines closer to ascertain how to make the machine pay out. The overall goal is to keep playing each machine, winning either through a determined strategy or simple perseverance, until all the machines have been emptied of their contents. Doing so will win the game.Mezase! Top Pro Green ni Kakeru Yume

1987
An exercise game created for the Family Trainer (the Japanese name for the NES Power Pad) developed by Human and published by Bandai. Jogging Race is the fourth game created by Bandai for the Family Trainer (US: Power Pad) accessory for Famicom systems. It was one of the many games that used the peripheral that did not see a release outside of Japan. As with other Family Trainer games, the emphasis was on receiving a work out using the Famicom, a conceit that would later find greater success with the Nintendo Wii and the Wii Fit games. Specifically, Jogging Race is about jogging through areas of a simulated Tokyo using the pad to simulate the exercise. The background scrolls by slowly, accurately matching the scale of the distances found in the real location, and will occasionally include additional details like other joggers. There is also a second mode named Marathon, in which the player competes in a long distance race with other CPU runners.Family Trainer: Meiro Daisakusen
1987
A Famicom game developed by Bandai as part of their Family Trainer series, which all use the Family Trainer (Power Pad) accessory. The goal is to explore mazes. The fifth in Bandai's series of Family Trainer games, created for the accessory with the same name (or Power Pad in the US). Unlike the others, which tended to be athletics/exercise games, Meiro Daisakusen ("Epic Maze Battle") is a maze-exploring light RPG where the goal is to walk and jump around mazes to find items and, eventually, the exit. The game's controls are dictated entirely by the Family Trainer/Power Pad. Different buttons will either cause the protagonist to jump, walk forward, walk backwards, turn left or right or switch their position to the left, right or center of the screen. While searching for the exit, players must be mindful of the various enemies that also inhabit the mazes, most of which must be avoided by jumping over them or running past them.Family Trainer 8: Totsugeki! Fuuun Takeshi-jou
1988
The eighth Family Trainer game produced by Bandai for the NES, Totsugeki! Fuun Takeshijou is based on the obstacle course TV show Takeshi's Castle. Family Trainer: Totsugeki! Fuun Takeshijou is based on the popular TV show Takeshi's Castle, where contestants are pitted against each other in a series of generally absurd physical challenges in order to storm the castle of a character based on Japanese entertainment icon "Beat" Takeshi Kitano. The game required that the player use the Family Trainer (known as the Power Pad elsewhere) accessory to complete a series of athletics-based challenges to reach the final boss round, which involved driving a small tank around and defeating opponents including Takeshi.Family Trainer: Fuuun! Takeshi Jou 2
1989
The sequel to Family Trainer: Totsugeki! Fuun Takeshi Shiro and the ninth game to be made for the NES Power Pad/Family Trainer by Bandai and Human Entertainment. Like its predecessor, it is based on Japanese TV show Takeshi's Castle. The ninth Bandai Power Pad game, Family Trainer: Fuuun! Takeshi Shiro is Bandai's second license game based on Takeshi's Castle. The player must fight through a series of physically-demanding and bizarre challenges using the Power Pad accessory in order to reach a showdown with the fortress' owner, a fictionalized version of Japanese entertainer "Beat" Takeshi Kitano.Isaki Shuugorou no Keiba Hisshou Gaku
1990
Isaki Shuugorou no Keiba Hisshou Gaku is a Sports game, developed by C-Lab and published by Imagineer, which was released in Japan in 1990.Koushien
1989
Koushien
1989
A Famicom baseball game based on Japanese highschool baseball. It saw multiple sequels for the Super Famicom. Koushien is the first game in K Amusement's Koushien series of baseball games that focuses on the highschool level of competition. Koushien refers to the stadium where the final of the national highschool league takes place. It takes a leaf from the book of many other NES/Famicom baseball games, like Namco's Family Stadium, by depicting the batsman at the bottom of the screen and the pitcher at the top. Though it has realistically proportioned athletes, the presentation and idle animations are somewhat comical and the game overall leans on an arcade experience rather than being super realistic. Koushien was followed by multiple sequels, however the first game was the only one in its series to be released on the original Famicom. Future games would appear on the Super Famicom and PlayStation as well as other, newer consoles. This game would go on to be the basis of SNK's Little League Baseball: ChampionshiFamicom Yakyuuban

1990
Baken Hisshou Gaku: Gate In is a Sports game, developed by Graphic Research and published by K Amusement Leasing, which was released in Japan in 1990.Dino-Hockey
Dino Hockey was originally planned for a release by SunSoft. One of the things that makes this game unique, is that there is an extremely limited amount of information about the game. All that is really known about the game, is that there was a mention of the game in the September, 1991 issue of Gamepro magazine, during their writeup of the 1991 Summer Consumer Electronics Show. With that in mind, it was more than likely presented at the show. However, there had never been any screenshots of the game in any publication or public medium up to this point. So it’s quite a rare title already, with very little documentation noted.Greg Norman's Golf Power

1988
Stick Hunter: Exciting Ice Hockey is a game for the Famicom released only in Japan in 1987. It was never released in North America. Stick Hunter was the first actual ice hockey game created for a Nintendo gaming system. The game was designed so that 1 player could play against the computer, or 2 players could play simultaneously against each other. The length of the periods and difficulty level could both be adjusted. Playing as a character who has possession of the puck, the character could not only skate faster, but could only shoot the puck forward. So if the player wanted to pass to a teammate, the character on screen would have to be facing the person to which he's passing. The same applied to shooting at the net and attempting to score a goal. The character would have to be facing the opposing net. A player without the puck could only skate faster. If the goalie had control of the puck, he could only pass to a teammate. As in the real-world sport of hockey, the object is to score more goals than the opposi
