If there's something strange in the neigh-bour-hood and the Ghostbusters are already engaged, who you gonna call? Ghost Sweeper Mikami: The Exorcist With A Nice Body, that's who.

The demon-mashing, hyper-capitalist fashionista has already more than proven her worth when it comes to expunging ghosts and ghoulies, having appeared in a wealth of films, OVAs, and manga series since debuting in 1991. The sexy shaman even made her presence felt in a small line of video game releases, all of which never left Japan's shores.

And those of you looking to better know Ghost Sweeper Mikami - or Reiko Mikami, to address her formally - are in luck, as her 1993 SNES adventure has received a new English translation, courtesy of homebrewer Pizanno. The modder has painstakingly retranslated all of the in-game text from a variety of sources, including previous GameFAQ translations, previous scripts from NintendoComplete and RetroHub, and narrative gaps filled in from the anime itself.

Pizanno notes that this compilation of sources was unearthed, rewritten, proofread, and recoded by hand, with gen-AI playing no part in any facet of this project.

Ghost Sweeper Mikami: The Exorcist With A Nice Body follows a typical tale from the lives of the plot of the anime, with ghost-hunter-for-hire Reiko searching for seven missing artefacts, with legend speaking of untold fortunes awaiting the person who reunites them.

Never one to turn down That Bag, Reiko sets out to battle malevolent spirits and scoop up the lost treasures - dreaming of the huge payday that I'm guessing will 100% absolutely happen at the end of the game and definitely not leave Reiko playing the sad trombone. The game features several unique stages, including a section that sees a shrunken Mikami riding a housecat, and even a broomstick-based shmup section.

As always, Reiko is aided in her quest by goofy teenage assistant Tadao Yokoshima and her ghost secretary Okinu - basically Slimer but not annoying af.

Pizanno's download contains four different versions of Reiko's famously tough 16-bit adventure. While one version contains the English translation and leaves the game untouched, the other three additions apply various tweaks to the game's balance, altering checkpoints and tweaking the power-up mechanics. Be sure to take a look at the four versions before deciding which is the right experience for you. The new patch also enables stereo sound by default.

Ghost Sweeper Mikami for SNES never really needed a translation to play. The simplistic side-scrolling action and charming cutscene visuals tell an easily discernible story. But that's not the point. What matters is that Pizanno's work puts this obscure slice of anime action back in the headlines, giving Mikami fans a fresh opportunity to enjoy a lost game while introducing new players to the exquisite exorcist for the very first time.

Now, go forth and slay.
