Are you clever enough to unravel the mystery of Clu Clu Land? The evil Sea Urchin has hidden all the gold in Clu Clu Land in an underground mystery maze. It's up to you to find the gold before time runs out! But beware. The Sea Urchin will do everything in his power to stop you. He'll set up traps to trick you, like inviting you into his house where you'll be swallowed alive! Or bounce you against the Rubber Trap and land you flat on your back! But if you, or you and a friend, can control the Sea Urchin by stunning him with electric shockwaves, you just might find out where he's hidden the gold and move on to an exciting bonus round! This version of Clu Clu Land was released for Nintendo's Versus series arcade hardware as Vs. Clu Clu Land. It also received a home release in Japan under the name Clu Clu Land: Welcome to New Clu Clu Land.

As much as I want to make fun of this game for being...ya know...Clu Clu Land...I actually kinda like the gameplay. It's like pac-man but different. And anything that even barely resembles pac-man I'm contractually obligated to enjoy.

played on NSO NES

Clu Clu Land is weird, like seriously weird. You're this little fish dude spinning around to uncover gold bars, all while avoiding goofy sea urchins. The controls are wonky, and it gets crazy hard, but there's something weirdly charming about it. Not for everyone, but I dig its retro oddness.

Somewhat fun once you figure out what to do/how to play but that barrier of entry is hard to get over, simply not fun after about 10 minutes, terrible controls. At least we got a cool Smash Bros Melee trophy out of this one, I also remember the NES Remix levels for this game being pretty brutal

2/10

A game about collecting coins.

really confusing to first understand, decent arcade fun when you do

A surprisingly cute and charming action/puzzle game while still being a early NES game.
