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

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.

Neo Geo AES Preorder
Shooter
SNK truly mastered the ability to produce fun games in 2D such as Metal Slug which reminded the gaming cognoscenti there was life and gameplay without polygons. Pure refined game mechanics and delightful in game humour to bring a smile to the face of the most grizzled gaming veteran. This is a dream conversion to the home system and a realistic option considering the original cart versions astronomical prices.

Neo Geo AES Preorder
One on One Beat Em Up
A real slug fest worthy of what’s become a hardcore gaming machine. Some real characters to choose from in trio’s including the Ikari team, Psycho Soldier team as well as combatants from other SNK titles to settle those arguments once and for all. A gritty, urban edge to the graphics, perhaps the pinnacle of the series?

Neo Geo AES Preorder
One on One Beat Em Up
Seamlessly animated with all the panache that goes into SNK’s characters and backgrounds especially when it comes to the rich heritage of the Fatal Fury series. The new faces settle in well and are far from stereotypical. Collecting power ups is strangely invigorating too.
🔜Pre-order
Neo Geo AES Preorder
Sports
One of the original titles for the Neo Geo. Very smartly presented with lots of speech from your ever helpful caddy. A good arcady golf title, one of only two on the Neo Geo.
Super Famicom
RPG
Beautiful use of sunlight and darkness in the dank caves and caverns that need exploring with the team in this emotional journey from the golden era of Super Famicom RPG gaming.
Super Famicom
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Classic Capcom coin op action with plenty of high kicks as players take on the crème of the detritus from the streets of the city with urban decay. Retro chic at its finest.    
Super Famicom
RPG
Sadly not the 776 release which attracts pension funds, such is its year on year value inflation. But true gamers will cherish this Nintendo RPG just as much. As ever, Nintendo’s standards set the bar which others must attain and this fine piece of programming could only be called a flop in terms of the Fosbury Flop, such as it raises the bar. A beautiful gaming world and a moving gaming experience.    
Super Famicom
Simulation
Fluffy toys might look good for the rear view mirror, but its hard cash needed to progress in the brutal midnight races. Also called Zero Yon Champ.
