Magic John & Totally RAD compilation launched for Nintendo Switch
Jalecolle Famicom Ver. Magic John & Totally RAD has launched for Nintendo Switch, published by City Connection. The console port includes rewind, quick and load functionality, along with a gallery page to view package designs, manuals, and flyers.

Jaleco published developer Aicom's action-adventure game Magic John in September of 1990, exclusively for the Nintendo Famicom console in Japan. The English-language localization for the Nintendo Entertainment System gave the dialog a California surfer makeover, renaming the player character "Jake" and his imperiled girlfriend "Allison."

In January of 2011, Clarice Disc published "Rom Cassette Disc In JALECO," pressed on compact disc. The compilation included seven music tracks from the game, composed by Kazuo Sawa and Toshiko Tasaki. A sample listening movie is streaming on the record label's YouTube channel. Respawned Records published the Totally Rad official vinyl soundtrack, published in collaboration with Retro-Bit.


From the Respawned Records product page:
Get ready to dive into the neon-drenched, radical world of Totally Rad with this official limited edition vinyl soundtrack! Featuring the electrifying 8-bit compositions from the classic 1991 NES game, this collector’s item brings back the RAD chiptune energy that made Totally Rad a standout in the retro gaming scene. Pressed on neon-yellow with magenta, orange and green splatter vinyl, this special release captures the game’s signature blend of funky basslines, high-energy melodies, and adventurous rhythms all remastered for a premium analog listening experience. Housed in a high-gloss jacket with artwork inspired by the game’s surreal, California-cool aesthetic.
