Ever stumble across a weird, forgotten NES game that makes you go, "Wait, what is this?" That's Salad no Kuni no Tomato Hime for you. It's one of those Japan-only releases that never made it overseas—probably because, well, it's about a tomato princess in a salad kingdom. Classic NES logic.

You play as Tomato Hime (literally "Tomato Princess"), bouncing around veggie-themed levels that look like they were designed by someone who really loved grocery shopping. The controls are floaty in that old-school way, and the music’s got that cheerful, slightly off-kilter vibe you only get from obscure Famicom titles. No idea why she fights giant forks or jumps over celery sticks, but honestly? That’s part of the charm.

If you’re into retro oddities, this one’s a fun little time capsule. Just don’t expect it to make much sense.
