Gamecube
One on One Beat Em Up
Evolves the fighting engine more honing it down rather than taking a chisel and hammer to it but whilst subtle, the improvements are welcomed. Countering moves makes for some slick comebacks and the uber specials are only possible in certain circumstances such as when low on energy. A Mission mode adds welcome distraction and a challenge worthy of a ninja. Mana from heaven for Naruto fans.
Wonderswan
RPG
Fight back against the evil empire whose Dark Knights have burnt down your village. Square does justice to its immense FF series with this sparkling update of the Famicom original.
Gamecube
RPG
A real Nintendo tour de force with Mario, Yoshi et al enjoying the colourful scenery, pseudo 2D look and Nintendo’s love of the gamer, never leaving you high and dry without a clue. So good it was remade for the Switch.
Gamecube
One on One Beat Em Up
Arcade port is almost perfect with stirring orchestral score and dazzling, fluid special moves and combo’s. Still remains one of the finest fighters ever to grace the console scene.
PS2
RPG
One of the Saturn’s finest RPGs (which is more than sufficient recommendation given the plethora of on the system) which proved so popular as a Dreamcast update that it also made it to the PS2. Painstakingly detailed towns to explore in this ‘Skies of Arcadia’ style RPG.
PS3
One on One Beat Em Up
Doesn’t seem fair that Darth Vader can elevate an opponent whilst strangling them remotely, but it certainly is a pleasure to be able to test his lightsabre skills against the Soul Calibur crew, complete with the swishing hum sound effect. Happy days.
PS3
One on One Beat Em Up
Keeps the 3D strictly to a pseudo effect and the gameplay is all the better for its slick, rolling combos as a result. The backdrops look stunning too – upgraded on the old school approach but still looking lavish.
PS3
Action
Capcom injects new life into its DMC series with stunning cityscapes to test out your combo skills and a quite staggering attention to graphical detail promoting this to the high art genre. The waves of assaults can be relentless, yet the control remains intuitive giving great satisfaction when a perfect slice and dice combination rolls off the pad. Top hats off to Capcom for maintaining its triple-A status despite the shift in format to the PS3.
Brilliant Merchandise
Merchandise
Classic Famicom coloured designed bag, officially licensed coming with the piece de resistance of the controller side pocket.
PS2
Simulation
Crazed, manga-inspired action with plenty of speed lines and manga style sound effects in katakana as the anime action comes to life.
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Genki would love to diverge more details if only the plot of Hirohiko Araki’s suitably named manga made sense… Recommended to fans with Capcom’s solid fighting engine and JoJo’s insane animation skilfully blended together. The special moves are the cocoa dust on top to fans of the series.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
Ryo continues on his quest for revenge to Hong Kong and the mountains of China. Incredible cinematic experience that incredulously never received a North American release: such craft deserved the widest possible audience.
Brilliant Switch
A Bit Special
Two of the most collectable Saturn games rightfully revived by City Connection for more to savour their femme fatale charms.
Advanced Variable Geo has Battle mode where you can take on anyone, or Story mode full of scene setting cinematics where you play as Yuka chan. Very tasty graphics improving over the Super Famicom prequel. Also includes special moves that can only be utilised when on your last legs, evening up one sided bouts.
Saturn shooter Steam Hearts is a sizzlingly hot and saucy shmup brought to the table by the talented Giga. A heady combination of steamy cut scenes and frantic shoot ’em up action is the sort of fan service you can expect in Japan. Genki is grateful that the gameplay is more rewarding than Divine Sealing on the Mega Drive adopting an overhead perspective with shifts in style to keep things fresh. Thankfully the ship can take seven hits before biting the dust which is welcomed with the sheer volume of enemy fire as are the tight controls. A turbo boost can zip the ship through a tight squeeze to the pulsating beats to the soundtrack with a tap on the pad leaving a feeling of great satisfaction to have left behind the enemy hordes. The cut scenes come after defeating an end of level boss which are interesting characters to say the least. The Saturn version had full two player mode and makes good use of the machines 2D powers.
Brilliant Switch
Shoot Em Up
The legendary 16 and 32Bit shoot em up Sonic Wings gets rebooted for a revival flight in this updated retro reunion with the cityscapes looking superbly rotoscoped. The plane theme is done too perfection with a variety of planes and pilots to add to the explosion excitement, all looking very militaristic in TATE mode.
Brilliant Switch
Shoot Em Up
Standard version of the eagerly awaited shmup port of the Naomi board. The crux of this shooters story is the ability to capture enemy ships and either use them as a shield or send them spinning off out of control with a deft joypad flick. The Switch Enhanced version includes plenty of extras over the Dreamcast original, like the PS2 port. Story mode adds speech to the levels along with various endings depending on which character the player selected. Arrange is a mish mash of the arcade and story modes that must be completed on a measly single credit.
Brilliant Mega Drive
Platform
Brings back the gaming fun from the Famicom era with a unique twist on the platform genre in that it is played by a car. Drivers must cover as many of the platform levels as possible and in doing so complete the road they drive over. Some mightily impressive sprite rotation techniques as the players car changes direction or it fires a bullet into the pursuing police cars to spin them out of control. Nice backgrounds too with the Statue of Liberty and Big Ben guesting. Well worth its revival on the Mega Drive – a true labour of love from Habit Soft converting the arcade version with features not possible on the Famicom plus a few bonus extras.
Brilliant PS4
One on One Beat Em Up
A real fight fest for fans of the genre with both incarnations of Capcom vs SNK, Rival Schools, Fighting Jam, Street Fighter Zero 3, along with Star Gladiator plus double incarnations of Power Stone for a bit less-intense, more chuck away action. A real treat for those that appreciate Capcom’s eye for detail and spit and polish. Just hope you aren’t spitting teeth after a run in with some of these bad boys.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Genki’s bugbear with Rolling Gunner is the difficulty in taking in the stunning, stainless steel mega bosses and seamlessly scrolling backgrounds in this super Switch side scrolling shooter. The soundtrack hits all the right notes too, inspiring players to keep blasting when it seems like every pixel is out to get you.
Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
There’s a certain magic to a plane based shoot ’em up – maybe its the giant enemy planes that must be taken down or the ginormous warships that scale across the screen? But what a Mach speed flight of fancy this treat is being a canned Jaleco 90’s shooter from back in the hey days of the 16Bit wars.
PS5
Shoot Em Up
Conversion and handing over the torch from the Dreamcast to keep the world of shooters illuminated. Jaw dropping, smoothly animated visuals and attention to detail in smoke plumages and tumbling shrapnel, not forgetting the immense explosions. Arming your copter with a second weapon option as well as targeting adds a tactical aspect to the military themed, vertically scrolling shmup action.
Brilliant Switch
Shooter
Amiga fans in the UK used to drool over Turrican with its inspirational rock soundtrack pushing the gamer on to new heights of its run and gun (and sometimes roll) platform action. This fine compilation also includes the much coveted Super Turrican of Super Famicom fame. Anthology One contains Turrican, Turrican 2, Super Turrican, Super Turrican Directors Cut, Mega Turrican Score Attack and Anthology Two contains Turrican 3, Mega Turrican, Mega Turrican Directors Cut, Super Turrican 2 and Super Turrican Score Attack. An awful lot of blast for your buck.
