The only Nintendo game designed by Miyamoto that stayed exclusive to Japan (and Europe). Pac-Man enhanced with Christian crosses. Original, strange, fun. An interesting historical curiosity.

Is Devil World still worth playing in 2026?

A Nintendo action game, Devil World has you steer a little dragon through a Pac-Man-like moving maze, collecting crosses and devouring enemies while dodging the Devil who reshapes the terrain. The blend of chase and shifting-space management keeps a retro arcade charm, never officially released in the US due to its religious theme. The formula stays simple and repetitive. A historical curiosity for fans of overlooked Nintendo arcade and collectors.
