Doraemon 2 - Hikari No Shinden

Game Overview
Doraemon 2: Hikari no Shinden came out for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, developed and published by Epoch. It was part of that wave of mid-generation N64 games that tried to blend familiar licenses with the console's 3D capabilities, though it never reached the same level of recognition as some of the bigger titles from that era.

You control either Nobita or Doraemon, exploring a world made up of interconnected screens. Your main goal is to find and reassemble pieces of a sacred mirror by solving environmental puzzles, often using Doraemon's gadgets. Key mechanics include using the Take-copter to hover over obstacles, shrinking with the Small Light to access tiny areas, and fishing for items with a special rod. The pacing is deliberate, with some backtracking, and the difficulty comes more from figuring out gadget use than from action. It feels like a slow, thoughtful adventure where the tools at your disposal encourage experimentation over quick reflexes.
