It's weird how this game and its sequel were made in Japan, but never released there. Did they think the Japanese would think it was too American or something? It's really obvious that it was made by Japanese devs.
I wish they would have continued the adventures of Mike. You could absolutely make it stand out from Zelda by making the focus more on top down platforming and more action focused stages, rather than puzzle solving.

It was back in a time when Nintendo made stuff exclusively for America knowing it wasn't for Japanese audiences. See also: the VAST majority of zapper games.

Yep, there goes Mike Jones, complaining about his failing Youtube career again.
Sorry Mike, you can only show the "secret hidden areas" of C-Island so many times before it becomes boring.
