NaN/100 votes#1 - The 15th Season Starts! "Mr. Gimmick" (#117)
Season 15 Episode 1 - Aired 4/14/2011
The game that opens this new season is Sunsoft’s Gimmick! This platformer came at the peak of the Famicom’s life, and is a fantastic production both visually and musically. And though it may look cute and possess only six stages, it’s designed for platforming pros; a nice send-off for a system that more or less made the genre.

#11 - A New Hello! "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures" (#127)
Season 15 Episode 11 - Aired 9/22/2011
Hello! Pac-Man," known outside Japan as "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures." is a cartoony action-adventure where you guide Pac-Man through a series of missions. You can only direct him using a slingshot to fire pellets at things he should pay attention to, or a secondary "look" command. There are only four episodes ("rounds") in the game, but this likely won’t be a jolly stroll for Arino.

#12 - Ninja From the Future!? "Strider" (#128)
Season 15 Episode 12 - Aired 10/20/2011
Arino takes on a Mega Drive game, and it’s another well-regarded title: Strider, Sega’s port of the Capcom arcade game. It’s a relatively short game — just five stages — and not as brutal as, say, Ghouls ‘N’ Ghosts, but it still has its moments.

#15 - My Thanks To You. "Mito Koumon" (#131)
Season 15 Episode 15 - Aired 12/1/2011
Mito Koumon is a Famicom game sort of based on the long-running historical TV drama of the same name, featuring the old adventurer Mito Koumon and his band of followers. It’s an action adventure a little bit like the Ganbare Goemon games, but with more "adventure" — in other words, figuring out what to do half the time. Arino has to get through seven stage, which sounds promising, but it is a Sunsoft game, after all.
