    An enjoyable, fun-filled game which should keep you puzzling for a long time to come.

    Mystical Ninja had a nation of young adults spiking and dying their hair. Or not. [Jan 2004, p.189]

    If you're turned off by slightly strange Japanese humor, stay away from this game. N64 owners eager to get their hands on anything that smells even remotely of an RPG will find a funny title.

    This game is a solid title. Like a Honda Civic, it doesn't do anything to blow your socks off but it doesn't dissapoint you either. It's a reliable source of FUN!!

Amazed at the dim-witted review sites that reported a negative sort of culture shock. I played this in 5th grade (not really even knowing what Japan was) and did not find any of the story, characters or humor the least bit puzzling or confounding.… Full Review »

    What a hidden gem this beautiful game is. You learn about Japanese culture in the beautiful and peaceful Edo-Periode.
