I really should just research this, but I'm being a lazy bastard, so -- wasn't Yo! Noid essentially a graphic hack of a pretty decent Famicom game?

That was my understanding. Actually, the game Yo! Noid was based on was a lot better... instead of a dopey Claymation villain (not cool!), you played a ninja and his pet falcon (cool!).
Of course, localization isn't always a harsh mistress... I'd rather play Totally Rad than its Japanese counterpart, Magic John. Although the game itself wasn't great, I liked being able to play as a thinly veiled clone of Keanu Reeves. What can I say? I'm a child of the 80's.
