Video Games Of The Week

Game of the Week Switch

Action

Always one of the most unlikeliest names for a video game hero, Earnest Evans Collection contains his a fore named game Earnest Evans from the Mega CD era, besides the seminal MD El Viento and the cult classic from the Mega CD Anett Futatabi. Telenet always had such devoted followers and these three titles demonstrate why.

Game of the Week Switch

Action

A huge license in Japan based on the classic manga. You play the role of Mr. Saeba – a bit of a Japanese bond, fond of both ladies and firearms. Good advise would be to keep em peeled for the helpful nurse on each level. Reminiscent of Rolling Thunder in parts. Brought back for the modern era thanks to a fabulous live-action film on Netflix.

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 Switch

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.

Shoot Em Up
Gameplay has a tactical nature with the ability to use three different orbs. Ginormous bosses worked the original version to near meltdown, especially the mode 7 capacity, but both the 2D or optional 3D sprites and polygons are chucked around screen effortlessly here. Not for the weak willed, R-Type has old school difficulty to match its gameplay. But its ace to know many more can now know its charms.
Preorder Super Famicom
Platform
Factor 5 developed the original run and gun platformer that represented the finest of European game design, here all packaged up in an exquisite piece of box art for those who never sampled the highly-desired original release. The sound was optimised to the Super Famicom’s architecture using Dolby Surround. Gameplay wise it remains a treat with inspiration taken from parts one and two along with Mega Turrican making this like a hybrid remix.

Shoot Em Up
Switch update of the Playstation classic with 70’s Robot Anime Geppy X gets the shmup treatment and what a treat it is for shooter heads and anime fans with each of the eight episodes being a small chapter in the story with anime introduction, closing sequences and even some bonus material complete with superb voice acting. Captures the retro feel of the source anime very well with a nostalgic feel to proceedings and chunky feel to the robot controls. Horizontally scrolling with a directional switch button and big, bold sprites. Also taking a hit stops your energy bar charging up for a super shot in a nod to the hardcore shmup fraternity.

A dream compilation for Genki as we idolise the Mystical Ninja and this mighty compendium contains thirteen of Goemon’s back catalogue to celebrate the series’ fortieth anniversary. So much gaming joy on one tiny cart and with so many titles, there’s a good chance many will savour at least a few of them for the first time. Brings a tear to the eye!

Shoot Em Up
Much loved series with so many projectiles, you may find your retinas trying to move in different directions to each other. More coloured bullets than a chameleon too, but hopefully that makes them easier to see. The well respected series combines traditional shooting action with modern generation graphical gee-whizz to create spectacular, pyrotechnical results. Game on!
