This is a video walkthrough / playthrough / runthrough of the NES RPG Nakayoshi to Issho (or as the translator put it: Nakayoshi n' Me)

Instead of me trying to explain what the heck is going on, let me reference what hiryuu from rpgclassics said (He's the guy who translated this game, so big kudos to him):

"First, a little background information. Nakayoshi is a Japanese magazine that publishes Shojo (girl) manga (similar to how Shounen Jump publishes shounen (boy) manga). Back in 1993, late in the Famicom's life-cycle, this game was released, based off of six manga properties published in Nakayoshi magaine: Goldfish Warning!, Pocket Park, MinMin!, Taiyou ni Smash, Kurumi and the 7 Dwarves, and Sailor Moon. These manga had varying levels of popularity in their own country (only Goldfish Warning! and Sailor Moon got an anime released), and only Sailor Moon was ever released in America in any form. This game seems to have been designed for a younger audience, as it's essentially a simplified RPG. In the game's universe, the main character is a reader of Nakayoshi Magazine that must visit "Nakayoshi World" , which consists of 6 worlds based on those aforementioned manga, at the behest of Nakayoshi's editor. The character's goal is to meet with the authors of each of the manga, retrieve their pens that have been stolen by the big bad, and find/help the main characters of each manga. As you can probably tell from the plot, this game is essentially fan-service for these games."

There you have it...Now, you might be wondering why I did this game, and the answer is thus: I saw that the guy released this new patch, and since I'm a sucker for playing newly patched games, and the fact this game was sinfully easy, I just had to do a video for it.... The only title from this game that I know of is Sailor Moon (obviously...I did do the video for the SNES Sailor Moon RPG....)

I suppose I had bought and kept extra weapons at the beginning because I thought I would show off the various weapons, but afterwards I thought that was a silly plan, so I tried to just stick with whatever was strongest at the time. Also, it seems I had a little surplus of food items, which I guess wasn't a bad thing. I guess with the way the battles work, things could go sour at some point...Well, maybe not, but it still never hurts to be prepared for the worst... :P
