What a weird and unique NES game I found when I played this back in 2015 or something. It's actually an action RPG too, which is pretty good! Then again, I know absolutely NOTHING about this anime that the game is based off of, so a lot of the plot ends up lost on me. Then again, maybe not. This game's plot involves finding something in the title, a hero named Wataru, and the player character is a nameable hero that is searching for the guy. In almost true anime fashion, this game's method of combat involves machins, which are, well, you know, mechs. You actually get several in game which is cool, along with...magic for them. The gameplay is like Faria's, standard overworld navigation which becomes a different kind of action-oriented battle system, except this is more like Zelda II instead of Zelda I.
Not much else to say about it since I'm not familiar with the source material at all. The plot is nice and short, the damsel in this case is actually a guy for some reason, and there's that idiotic ordeal where you actually save some princess as well and she asks to marry you. There's some lookalikes in one particular area, a dragon to fight, and apparently not only is said Wataru character captured but in some sort of bottle as well. So a plot with cliches and some rather dumb things, at least the gameplay is decent enough for an NES game. Also the music is decent as well. Probably could have been a replayable RPG if it was actually released outside of Japan.
