Super Famicom
Sports
Football simulator as coaches drill their players before unleashing them on the opposition to wreak havoc in the opponents box. Well thats the theory anyway. A window at the top of the screen shows the action unfurling in a similar style to Formation Soccer. The view below shows the player monitoring, just like the Opta index.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Twenty tracks weighing in at over an hour in this tribute to the 3DS version of Fire Emblem. Beautiful presentation of the CD with picture disk and fold out inlay and some divine inspiration into the tracks on offer. Being a Club Nintendo item it was only on offer in Japan to holders of enough points.
PS2
RPG
Pushing the PS2 to the limits of graphical splendour with painstaking attention to small detail wherever you may wander in the Phantasy Star Universe. Combat is not as drawn out as previous incarnations and the controls are very intuitive aiding enjoyment no end. As you’d expect from such a weighty series the presentation is lavish with immaculate cut scenes preparing players for the quest ahead. Enjoy the ride.
Super Famicom
Sports
The abbreviated name comes from Family Stadium and Namco have embellished their fine baseball series with plenty of gameplay aspects to make it accessible to all. Much loved in its many incarnations on both the Super Famicom and the Famicom previous to that.
Famicom Cart
Simulation
With a name like Dragon King War, you may well expect an action title of sorts. Well the action is all confined to the board here in this take on the shogi game, a sort of Japanese mahjong or perhaps type of chess. The presentation is fine though with caster announcer declaring progress and its possible to take on mythical figures from Japan’s past. No doubt with a civilised cup of green tea.
Mega Drive
Sports
Football blast from the J League’s hey day playing a nice, arcadey kick about. A real laugh with four players using the multitap, but arguments may ensue over who gets to be Gary’s Grampus.
XBOX 360
Shoot Em Up
Unusual twist on the shooter genre with G Rev putting a isometric slant on proceedings as two players (or the CPU plus one player) battle it out amongst some huge, spiraling bosses trying to deflect shots onto opponents. Occasion power ups lead to a vast transformation of your ship to unleash the mother of all shooter assaults on a suitably dwarfed opponent. Being Naomi based would have made for a fine DC conversion, as such the 360 takes more DC refugees under its all encompassing wing.
Super Famicom
Platform
Attains the Capcom level of polish as if Walt himself had been watching over the production. The imagination into the graphical effects sets the atmospheric powder keg off a treat such as with the lashing rain. And our beloved beast is a versatile creature ensuring the player soon warms to his dexterous manoeuvres.
Famicom Cart
RPG
This version has more going for it that didn’t make the cut for the English language release. Jammed full of Chinese cultural references, or at least Chinese culture from a Japanese perspective, it can be pretty zany at times.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
A game to help Japanese children learn English. Colour in the parts of the picture marked with the nominated letters, copy the letters on screen and play the letter games in matching up upper and lower case letters.
PSP
RPG
Charge through sprawling forests and what looks like the Death Star in this action RPG with the accent firmly on the combat which is now controlled by the player. Use of lasers and souped up swords give players much more involvement in the action. The draw distance is mightily impressive and the whole package oozes with big budget, triple A class.
Famicom Cart
Puzzle
Very tidy conversion of the Atari classic, but not quite as slick as the Lynx version. Thankfully not as rare as Tengen’s Mega Drive releases. Coloured blocks must be matched in connect four style as they trundle along towards you. Every dropped block costs a life. Doesn’t sound much, but like any good puzzle game easy to pick up and compelling enough not to want to put down.
Playstation
Platform
Isometric 3D style towns with platform sections and bosses to battle in mecha suits: yes its Goemon alright. The towns as a pleasure as ever with traditional warm-hearted friendliness to welcome you. And the 3D style boss battles add another dimension to the already varied gameplay. Overall the 3D effect has been well implemented with pretty shading and the proper balance between the trade-off of gameplay and graphical glitz.
Super Famicom
Platform
7 Ups cool little emblem is very slickly animated and this plays like a real treat. Nothing too unexpected but the execution is pretty close to flawless as the wee spot in shades strolls through the brashly themed gaming worlds.
Nintendo 64
Simulation
A version of the Japanese chess game featuring famed player Habu. An intriguing game for the cerebral gamer or one for the collection.
PS2
RPG
Humans and Deimos (evolved from monsters) battle for the five spirit stones and play is possible from either camp. Painstakingly lush graphics bring the fantasy to life.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
Introduces mini games to the successful series as players start with an initial party of four which can be expanded to take advantage of the rich characters on offer. Beautiful ‘new age’ anime graphics with a cel-shaded, mean and moody look making this a must have for fans of the Naruto series. Looks particularly fine on the PSP’s high detailed screen. Slick presentation and seamless cut scenes as you’d expect from an anime tie in. Ginormous o.t.t. special moves and solid play mechanics mean even those not aware of the series will have plenty to get their teeth (and fists) into here. Fighters battle it out in front of traditional scenes such as Japanese houses at dusk or Ramen noodle shops and there are oodles of speed lines and manga style effects keeping it fresh and fast. Plenty of background interactions, translucently realised special moves and shouts of martial madness. Subtitled Mugenjou no Maki.
PSP
Sports
Combining swooping camera angles, realistic ball and player mechanics, plus a solid gaming engine comes a very fine tennis title. Segas experience and rich arcade heritage has led to a superb version of the sport for the PSP. Brings out the smell of strawberries and cream, Robinsons juice, sunny days and Cliff Richard. Well it does for Genki anyway.
PSP
Action
Bomberman has a charm that seems eternal, especially hard to beat in multiplayer. Handhelds are perfectly suited for the game as its not possible to keep a close eye on opponents adding much adrenalin as a tidy amount of TNT suddenly rolls past. Hudson has done a very fine conversion: not overcooking the processing power to compromise the tasty morsels of gaming heaven on offer. Instead a funky, fly Tokyo style gives the title new impetus.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Grandiose titles for appropriately regal sounding scores with titles such as Battle III, Royal Captain Avalan and Dracovantel. Square Enix on top form again.

Four track pre order gift for fans of the gruff detective who came to fame originally in manga form.
