Video Games Of The Week

Game of the Week GameBoy Advance

RPG

Miyamato’s masterpiece deserves every superlative ever heaped on it, yet it remains as humble as lead character Link. A wonderful story that shines bright like one of the torches in the castle’s darkest, dank gaming dungeons. Miyamoto’s dream world turned into a gaming reality for all to behold. The finest RPG ever? Looking superb on the GBA. And 4 Swords is also a pleasure, never a chore with great use of the GBA link when entering a confined area. Dazzling in four player mode.

Game of the Week Switch

Shoot Em Up

What more could we possibly add? Once the Saturn was the only system on which it was possible to sample this masterpiece of programming, unless you managed to track down the ST-V Titan motherboard. And Treasure got the Saturn performing veritable cartwheels in terms of graphical boundaries which are pushed into the outer stratosphere. But just as much time has been spent on the play mechanics with a highly original weapons system. Sheer class on the Switch for all to savour.

Game of the Week PS4

Shoot Em Up

Granted most modern shooters end up in a screen full of rainbow coloured bullets (though that said old school shooters were never short of a projectile or two.) But Cave has certainly grabbed Genki’s goat in going for a World War style of isometric background buildings as detailed polygon biplanes float into place having caught the eye with a neat bit of scaling. Plenty of on ground action as pilots fly their female characters through the on-screen onslaught. Superb stuff demonstrating Caves rich arcade heritage.

Game of the Week Super Famicom

Shoot Em Up

Graphically pleasing with liberal use of colour as you guide Willow on her broomstick quest for wish-granting sweets accompanied by her fairy friend Silk. Success is rewarded with an appropriately off kilter end of level tea break. Intriguingly Willow gets to select her favourite weaponry before the offset and in game Silk can be used to attack along with the fire dragon, star frenzy or lightning assaults depending on which crystals have been collected.

Super Famicom
Shoot Em Up
Very desirable and highly colourful, saccharine sweet vertical scroller from the ripe old vintage year of 1993. Nice to be reminded of the sunny side of gaming with the release of so many gangster games.
PS2
RPG
Whilst it definitely dances to its own strategy system, those adventurous grey importers will find plenty to celebrate here with its dramatic story and colourful characters.
Gamecube
Platform
Takes the Bongo controller on a new level by using it to control the platform action. Tap left and right to move the direction, both togther to jump and clap to perform actions. Levels are set against the clock but a minimum number of bananas need to be collected to progress to the next stage. Add to that lush jungle graphics, a score bonus for good use of chimp gymnastics throughout the level plus some frantic tub thumping when delivering blows to the bosses and you have a real storming title.
Figures

Incredible appearance to this fine figure that came with the PS5 version of Tekken 8. The attachable wing lights up to create a mean, moody representation of the series’ star Jin Kazama.

1/48 scale colour resin kit tribute to the Game Arts Famicom shoot em up that featured a mecha style robot that can transform into a space ship with formidable, and much needed, laser. The mecha kit also features a mini tribute to the space ship. A real work of fan devotion from cult publisher Beep Japan.
Super Famicom
RPG
Well-respected Super Famicom title that has stood the test of time due to its massive slant on action in the RPG dungeon arena. Players control an orb and use it to fire at the hordes hidden in the dank depths or to break through the ice blocks to progress. Excellent boss battles ensue – ones to savour for those that don’t mind taking down the big fish, or dragon or two. Known as Firestriker in the West.
Switch
A Bit Special
Ten of the dream team of SNK gaming that set pulses racing in their day, yet still bring a type of gaming not easily found these days to the modern arena. King of Fighters 95, Metal Slug 4, Samurai Spirits, Fatal Fury 2, Shock Troopers 2, Ghost Pilots, Baseball Stars, Mutation Nation, Big Tournament Golf, and Stakes Winner looking very fine and glad you’re mine.
Switch
A Bit Special
No one did over the top like SNK and it brings a tear to the eye to see these titles Neo Geo again: not that Genki had encountered Shock Troopers being so rare. Β King of Fighters 94, Metal Slug X, Garou Mark of the Wolves, Samurai Spirits Zero, Aso II, Rising Hero, Top Hunter, Top Players Golf, Savage Reign and Shock Troopers make up the very accomplished roll of honour.
