Video Games Of The Week

Game of the Week Switch

Shoot Em Up

Much-cherished Milestone shoot ’em up gets a Switch reboot and there are Hitchcock overtones for this crow related shooter. Utilises power ups for the shot, sword and shield giving it a strategic element. Known as also ‘Crows’ and ‘Karous’.

Game of the Week Super Famicom

platform

Redesigned packaging to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of this still stunning Super Famicom platformer with gothic overtones, stunning shafts of sunshine and fleeting shadows. A rare SFC title in the mould of such sublime titles as Demons Crest and Nosferatu with a twist of the graphical skills of the Actraiser teams. Some of the in-game assailants and bosses are more than a bit twisted looking like they just broke out of the Splatter House. The main hero can thankfully upgrade his skills as the supernatural bosses are dispatched – all the way up to the big hoedown with the Demon King. And these transformations help even if the concept of becoming a demon to beat them doesn’t sit too nicely when surrounded by such creepy creatures.

Game of the Week Switch

platform

Includes the rare DS version Gallery of Labyrinth –  Gothic chic has never looked so good as Count Dracula tries with all his vim and vigour to rid himself and his mansion of the trespassing Belmont clan – even if protagonists Jonathan and Charlotte’s links to the Belmont ancestry are slim. Both players have a different skills set. Keeps true to the manuscript of the Castlevania tradition and those familiar with its whip cracking action will feel right at home in the spooky splendour of the Counts castle. Concessions are made to the modern gamer in being able to plough right through quickly, yet the seasoned vampire slayer will take their time to explore the plethora of in game secrets. Plus players can leap into paintings to take on off shoots from the castle with plenty of visual variety in this platformer set in WWII. The bosses mark a stunning return to form and show the Konami team to not be shy on eating cheese before bed. Another fine DS conversion in Castlevania Order of Ecclesia included too: Konami style alright – packed full with a bounty of varied levels and surprises all drawn in the most chic gothic fashion as the developers seem to have been hanging around the streets of Shinjuku with Gackt look a likes as much as Transylvanian castles. Plenty of innovative touches and a commendable blend of keeping true to the series traditions and bringing in new blood. Finally includes the arcade version of Castlevania: Akumajo Dracula Revisited, also known as Haunted Castle.

Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
Coin-op crackers dominate this Arcade Collection and its great to see the Egret getting the reciprocation it deserves from the gaming cognoscenti. Technos Japan and Data East finest are on board: Double Dragon, Kunio Kun, Mysterious Stones, Bogey Manor, Xain’d Sleen’a, Chelnov, Dark Seal, Edward Randy, Boogie Wings and Wolf Fang 2001. Some strange sounding titles, but they play like a retro dream.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
Ten top titles to savour as Taito gives another blast of arcade gaming in the form of this third instalment SD card for the Egret mean machine: Mr. Do, Rumba Lumber, Wiz, Metal Soldier Isaac 2, Extermination, Dr. Toppel Tonkentai, Top Landing, Aqua Jack, Galactic Storm and Space Invaders 95 Attack of the Lunar Loonies make up the roster. Re-release of the original print, but missing the Taito Station magazine.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
Another sublime SD Card for the Egret II Mini Arcade to boost its roster of titles. And what a boost it is with Chuka Taisen, Night Striker, Wardner no Mori, Thundercade and Crime City amongst the ten titles with Ultimate Tiger II looks particularly stunning on the small screen. Please note this is the same release, but without the Taito Station magazine.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
A very tidy SD Card for the Egret II Mini Arcade that boosts the roster of games by another ten with real, retro appeal. Shmup fans will lap up Daisenpu, Gekirindan and Slap Fight. Purilula is a must for those who appreciate a vintage video game. Backed up by Cleopatra Fortune, Dungeon Magic (looking intriguing in its isometric fight form), Riding Fight (experimental coin op), Grid Seeker, Great Swordsman and Gladiator. Re-release of the original print, but without the Taito Station magazine.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Brings to mind the beautiful 16 bit era of shoot ’em ups with its pastel shading all the bells and whistles. Detachable boss limbs, arachnoid bosses, scaling in and out adversaries and what looks like extras from the Salamander series – there are many a nod from its knowledgeable developers to what has gone before in the shoot ’em up fraternity.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
Very tough conversion of the arcade vertically scrolling shooter recommended only to grizzled gaming veterans with hardened skin on their thumbs! Beautiful organic backgrounds and well atoned chip tunes to the on-screen tension which is cranked high during the imaginative boss battles.
Nintendo Hardware
Handheld
Eighty eight games are built in to the handheld, but they are original titles as opposed to official Famicom releases. Includes a very handy AV output to allow keen gamers to hook it up to the big screen. The Kira Kira Night artist has been given license to make this to their designs and it looks mighty fine. 8 Bit gaming never looked so good on the high spec small screen, nor fitted so snuggly.
Merchandise
Accessory
A fitting tribute to Mega Man in this large rubber mat that is from a trading card maker, but would work equally well on a desktop. Very colourful and a fine design.
