A spin-off of the Momotarou Densetsu saga from Hudson Soft in 1990, this Famicom title extends a franchise hugely popular in Japan yet largely unknown elsewhere. Its desirability rests on lasting series loyalty and its standing as a never-localized side entry, making it a Hudson completist's piece, with the Japanese complete copy clearly commanding a premium.
Is Momotarou Densetsu Gaiden still worth playing in 2026?
Momotarou Densetsu Gaiden is a spin-off of Hudson Soft's RPG, offering new characters and new adventures in Momotaro's folkloric universe, in the form of side stories. The humorous tone, the charm of the Japanese tale and the approachable turn-based system pleasantly extend the formula, without overturning the foundations. The language barrier and a dated presentation remain. Kept exclusive to Japan, it speaks mainly to fans of the Momotarou series and retro JRPGs with a Japanese folkloric flavor.
