About this game

Many people went to visit, and the park was very popular.
The princess asked Yanchamaru if he would like to go with her, but since he was busy with his training, she went by herself.
However, she didn't come back, and so Yanchamaru must make his way through the oddly-aggressive attractions to find and rescue the princess! Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2 is the sequel to Kid Niki , and once again stars the big-headed, sword-spinning, headband-sporting fighter Yanchamaru.
Each stage is based around a theme, such as a world built from cakes and a world built from volcanoes, and each is filled with animatronic enemies, with a boss at the end.
Yanchamaru has his trusty spinning sword, and can also find bonus items to improve his abilities and increase his score.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Kaiketsu Yanchamaru for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Kaiketsu Yanchamaru to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1987.
