As with the first game, the goal is to help a sentient pachinko ball named Pachio-kun bankrupt a series of pachinko parlors and liberate all his miniature brethren from their flashy mechanical gulags.

A comedic adventure game that satirizes the heavy number of baseball and murder mystery games for the Famicom. It was developed and published by Capcom in Japan only.
Pro Yakyuu? Satsujin Jiken! ("Pro Baseball? Murder Case!") is a slightly tongue-in-cheek parody of the Famicom's overabundance of Portopia style murder mystery adventure games and baseball simulators, especially the annual Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium releases. The player controls a professional baseball player that's been framed for a murder and must solve the case while on the lam. Capcom inserted various additional modes into the game, such as mini-games and a shoot-em-up sequence whenever the protagonist is caught by the cops.
This game is perhaps notable for being released on the same day in Japan - December 24th 1988 - as another Capcom game: Rockman 2. One of these sort of overshadowed the other.

Nishimura Kyoutarou Mystery: Blue Train Satsujin Jiken is a mystery game released for the Nintendo Famicom in 1989.
Nishimura Kyoutarou Mystery: Blue Train Satsujin Jiken ("Kyoutarou Nishimura Mystery: Blue Train Murder Case") is the first game in a series of murder mystery adventure games based on novels by famed Japanese mystery author Kyotaro Nishimura. It was developed by TOSE and published by Irem on the Famicom in Japan only. Along with other similarly themed franchises such as Tantei Jinguuji Saburo and Yamamura Misa Suspense, it invites players to solve the mystery by talking to witnesses and suspects and interacting with the environment to discover who is behind the murder.
Kyotaro Nishimura's novels tend to focus on murders that occur on or around trains with this game being no exception. A body is found on a Blue Train - the name given to Japanese cross-country sleeper trains, i.e. those built to accommodate sleeping passengers - and the player character is brought in to solve the mystery.
Nishimura Kyoutarou Mystery: Super Express Satsujin Jiken is an Adventure game, developed by TOSE and published by Irem, which was released in Japan in 1990. Sequel to the previous Nishimura Kyoutarou Mystery game, Blue Train Satsujin Jiken.

An adventure game for the NES published by Sunsoft. A boy named Kyle must rescue the princess of a kingdom where very small humans and animals peacefully co-exist.
Ripple Island (occasionally seen translated as "Lipple Island") is a graphic adventure game where the player interacts with the world using a series of commands, such as "pick up", "walk" or "use".
Rather than the usual murder mystery games which were the trend at the time, Ripple Island instead adopts a fantasy storybook setting where smaller humans and friendly animals, such as raccoons and rabbits, co-exist peacefully. The kingdom is threatened by the arrival of Gerogeru, a self-styled Emperor of Darkness and giant frog, after he kidnaps the princess. Kyle, a young boy and the game's protagonist, is attempting to rescue her.
The game was never released outside of Japan. It was, however, re-released as part of a Japan-only PS2 compilation based on Sunsoft's works. It also received a manga adaptation.

Meitantei Holmes: Kiri no London Satsujin Jiken ("Great Detective Holmes: Fog of London Murder Case") is a murder mystery adventure game where the player directs Sherlock Holmes around London, finding clues and interrogating witnesses and suspects. Like its many NES adventure game contemporaries, it adheres to the Portopia formula of text adventure whodunits.
It is the sequel to Towa Chiki's earlier Sherlock Holmes game (Sherlock Holmes: Hakushaku Reijou Yuukai Jiken) and received a sequel (Meitantei Holmes: M-Kara no Chousenjou). None of these games were ever released outside of Japan.
The third of three NES Sherlock Holmes adventure games from Towa Chiki and Another.
M-Kara no Chousenjou is the third in Another/Towa Chiki's series of adventure games for the Famicom that star Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous sleuth, Sherlock Holmes. It follows Sherlock Holmes: Hakushaku Reijou Yuukai Jiken and Meitantei Holmes: Kiri no London Satsujin Jiken. As with the second of those games, M-Kara no Chousenjou has the player navigate a menu to talk to NPCs and witnesses, investigate areas of interest, find and pick up evidence and walk to various locations across Victorian-era London and other cities.
A NES action game developed by SunSoft and the sequel to Mito Koumon. It was never released outside of Japan.
Mito Koumon II: Sekai Manyuuki is the sequel to Mito Koumon and is very similar in appearance and gameplay. As in that game, the player controls one of Mitsukini Tokugawa's retainers as they gather clues and evidence of crimes in the area while either avoiding or fighting off hostile NPCs.
Unlike the first game, which was set entirely within Japan, Tokugawa is crossing the world solving issues instead. The first stage is America (specifically the Wild West, as would be chronologically accurate for the 17th century) though there are plenty of other locations to visit across the world as well, including even Transylvania.
Hissatsu Shigotonin (Translated: Deadly Work People] was released December 15, 1990 exclusively in Japan for the NES. It is an RPG based off of the popular historical drama TV show of the same name. The Story focuses on a group of ordinary work people who have double lives as assassins.
In the year 2081, the Earth was taken over by a group of hostile monsters under the command of the mysterious entity known as Increaser. A warrior named Dan has arrived from his time machine in the year 1999 in order to stop the invasion before it could spell devastation for the humans.

His father was killed under mysterious circumstances. Searching his things, the boy found a postcard that gave him his first clue for the investigation. From that moment, his adventure begins.
