@Sonic the Sketchhog that explains a lot
LET'S CHALLENGE.
"WELL THERE YOU HAVE THE FAMICOM CLASSIC, A WEEK OF GARFIELD!
A WEEK OFF MY LIFE EXPECTANCY!!!"
A WEEK OFF MY LIFE EXPECTANCY!!!"
Probably the worst thing about this game is that unlike its contemporaries, which tended to rip off Super Mario Bros., this rips off Pac-Land. Pac-Land is so ancient SMB was based off it, and this game brings pretty much nothing new to the table on top of that. It's just tedious and was out-of-date even upon release.
@Abc Inconsistencies with how NES displays the same color. What looks orange on one screen looks pink on another. It's why NEStopia and MESEN are generally seen as the preferred emulators color-wise, since most sets would display closest to them (and why FCEUX's color palette is... rather bad).
i gotsa a pasta
It might be some obscure programming reason but why the hell is garfield pink in this game
They had way more fitting orange in the NES pallette so why didn't they use that

@playgames169vg The publisher only picked up rights for Japan. Most Towa Chiki games only came out in Japan including two Sherlock Holmes games.
There could have had plans for the game to be released outside of Japan however any potential publisher would have passed on the game especially with the NES 5 game limit that publishers had in the US (to the point where Konami made a fake publisher to get around this and why Tengen/Codemasters games are unlicensed). Due to the connection with the publisher, it might have been possible that SOFEL would have picked it up but we have no way of knowing their plans. It wouldn't have been possible for PAL due to a certain troll having the Garfield rights at the time.
Anyway... It is really common for licensed games to be available in one country or a set of countries even for series that have a global audience. e.g. Spider-Man: Lethal Foes, the Italian Sailor Moon DS game, Super Back to the Future 2, Daffy Duck in Hollywood etc. Even for Garfield himself, there's Garfield Labyrinth, originally a Mickey Mouse game and is a Real Ghostbusters game in the US.

why is this available only in japan?
Fun fact:This whole game was programmed by one guy.
this is an official famicom game but i swear this feels like a bootleg, like if you told me that this was some bootleg game than i'd believe you
This feels like a bootleg
GARFIELF WHY AM I IN A SHITTY NES GAME?!
GIMME DA LASAGNA
This game was so bad, it never left Japan.
At least Sega made a better Garfield platform game in 1995 ^_^

GRAMFEL
Not with the way the site organizes game titles. "A", "An" and "The" are really common words for titles, so the site specifically ignores those for alphabetization.
Shouldn't this be in the "A" category?
