The Sailor Moon
video games, both console
and arcade
, were released in Japan during the height of the media franchise
's popularity. By 1998, twenty games were released. The games released as of 1995, each had sales figures of about 200,000 to 300,000. They have never been released in any other country, with the single exception of the Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon game developed by Angel, which was released in France in 1994. The games are hard to find in any other country unless downloaded from the internet as ROMs
.
Bandai
produced a small number of Sailor Moon games, but the majority were handled by a Japanese game company called Angel. Early games were side-scrolling fighters
, whereas later games were unique puzzle games
, and even later titles chose to go a versus fighting game style. Another Story was the only game to stand out, being a role-playing game. Panic in Nakayoshi World
was also released, an overhead Adventures of Lolo-style puzzle game featuring characters from various Nakayoshi-printed manga. Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon are playable characters.
The games mainly saw release on the Super Famicom
, with the first side-scroller being ported to the Mega Drive. A separate arcade side-scrolling fighter was also released. In addition, two side-scrolling adventure games were produced for the Game Boy
(Sailormoon and Sailormoon R), and a side-scrolling game was also produced for the Game Gear (Sailormoon S).
The first versus fighting game from the series was released for the 3DO. However, as the 3DO did not sell well outside of Japan, this game has gone largely unnoticed. Produced by Bandai themselves as opposed to Angel for the other two, this game is considerably different. A final versus fighting game was released for the Sega Saturn
and PlayStation
.
The last Sailor Moon-related game to date was released in November 2001 - Happy Chibiusa World.
A game was released in the U.S. for the PC. It was a minigame
compilation titled The 3D Adventures of Sailor Moon. Aside from the theme, the games did nothing to tie in to the series.
On July 15, 2010, Bandai Namco Games Europe announced development of a new Sailor Moon video game for Nintendo DS, Sailor Moon: La Luna Splende, an adventure game featuring environmental puzzles that takes place in Molly/Naru's dreams.
The game has four stages:
Monsters in this game were all droids summoned by the Akayaha Sisters (who don't even appear in the game) Like the previous game they are several different shades of them:
Other differences from the first game include a special attack which allows the player to perform a special attack that destroys all on-screen enemies.
developed by and published by Angel and released on December 1994.
The game features three game modes. A single-player plot-based Story Mode, as well as a Tournament Mode and 2-Player Versus Mode where all the Senshi are selectable including the Outer Senshi. Sailor Saturn is the only senshi not featured in the game.
arcade game developed by Gazelle
(one of the offshoots of shooter developer Toaplan
) and published by Banpresto
in March 1995. The game has been described as a beat 'em up inspired by Capcom
's Final Fight
. It was designed by Junya Inoue, who also designed Toaplan's Knuckle Bash
, another beat 'em up inspired by Final Fight.
The player fight up to one dozen enemies at one time, and the enemies are assorted villains from the series.
(2 or 3) can use "Link Techniques", which are unique team up attacks with various effects, be they offensive, healing, or defensive.
EP (energy points) regenerate after each battle. The storyline of the RPG is fairly linear. All ten members of the Sailor Team are playable. Only five members of the Team can be in the player's party at one time. For a good part of the game, the storyline dictates which Senshi are playable, however further into the game the player may choose which Senshi are in the party (though certain Senshi are sill required to be in the party at certain points).
The game appears to be set between the third and fourth story arcs. The story combines its own elements with those of both anime and manga, such as Tuxedo Mask's anime-based rose-throwing, or Chibiusa's manga-based use of the Holy Grail to become Super Sailor Chibi Moon. Throughout the game, the player can also collect puzzle pieces which make an image of the Senshi and Tuxedo Mask. If the puzzle is completed, there is a reward at the end.
While the game was never internationally released, a fan translation exists, though it gets some of the characters' names wrong and sometimes uses fan names or names from the dub instead of the Japanese names. However, the Japanese, unedited names for the main characters are consistently used throughout the game, even with some names transliterated instead of translated (for example, the Mystical Silver Crystal is always referred to by its Japanese name, "Ginzuishou").
In Another Story, a sorceress named Apsu arrives from the 30th century
. She has gathered a group of girls from Crystal Tokyo and ordered them to affect the past in order to change the future to her liking, with the ultimate goal of attaining the Mystical Silver Crystal. Her followers are called the "Oppositio Senshi," and succeed in changing the fates of the defeated villains from the first three story arcs, bringing deceased villains back to life and turning reformed and healed individuals back to the darkness.
With the advice of the ghosts of the Shitennou, the Senshi set out to regain the Barazuishou (Rose Crystal), Tuxedo Mask's stone (which replaces the Golden Crystal in the game) in order to change Sailor Moon's destiny back, and to save Crystal Tokyo.
Locations in the game include familiar ones such as places around the Azabu-Juuban neighborhood in the Azabu district of Minato-ku, Tokyo, such as Usagi, and Mamouru's Houses, Mugen Academy, Usagi's School, Osa-P, the Hiwaka Shrine and the Crown Center. Other familiar locations outside Tokyo include the Silver Millennium, Crystal Tokyo and the Black Moon Clan's UFO. The senshi also visit new locations such as Tibet, Canada, a village hidden under a glacier in Switzerland, and Turkey. The Earth Kingdom during the time of the Silver Millennium can also be visited.
The Senshi will call out most of their special attacks when used in battle. Some attacks, such as "Sharbon Spray Freezeing" only have grunt, while some manga only moves, such as "Wink Chain Sword" or "Chronos Typhoon" have had their name cries recorded just for the game.
The game has two endings. If the player loses to the final boss, Chibiusa and the remaining Senshi will fight a slightly easier form of it and the player will receive the "bad" ending.
All ten senshi are playable in two player mode. However, in story mode, players can only choose from the six main senshi. All six major senshi now have four specials techniques, three power attacks, and their new power from the show. The four other senshi only have three powers available to them.
Players can also customize chraracters, by assigning up to 20 points to increase the attributes of each of the characters. The game offers four levels of difficulty, ranging from Easy to Hardest.

Sailor Moon (Angel) 1993

- Fantasy Attraction (Boss: Saphir)
- Crystal Tokyo (Boss: Rubeus)
- Planet Nemesis (Boss: Prince Demand)

- Sin - The Oppositio version of Sailor Moon and leader of the Oppositio Senshi, named for the moon godSin (mythology)Sin or Nanna was the god of the moon in Mesopotamian mythology.

Changes and Errors
- Pluto's Garnet Rod is green on the puzzle and silver on Pluto's sprite instead of its normal purple.
- The Holy Grail is present as a usable item for Sailor Moon and Chibi-Moon, allowing them to use their Super forms in battle. However, in the manga continuity, all eight Sailor Senshi are required to combine their powers in order to use the Grail, which is often not the case in the game. In the anime continuity, the Grail was destroyed instead.
- The Barazuishou (Rose Crystal) replaces the Golden Crystal, though this is due to the Golden Crystal having not been introduced into the continuity at the time the game was published.
- Sailor Pluto can stop time without risk to her own life.
- Senshi have attacks from both the anime and the manga. For example, Sailor Venus can use both Crescent Beam Shower and the Venus Wink Sword.
