Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Heroes, heroines and hamsters show off their singing prowess in this tribute to the fine developer Success’ back catalogue of soundtracks, full of toe-tapping, paw-pounding loops.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Luscious anime adventure mixing love and war. Ogami returns from the Imperial Navy to lead Hanagumi and their steam powered contraptions. (Very) Big in Japan.
🏆Brilliant!
Switch
Shooter
Four fabulous shooters from the coin-ops of old whose charm would no doubt lure you in through the tobacco smoke and neon. Operation Wolf needs no introduction and its sequel Operation Thunderbolt is also included which is like Wolf but as driven along in a 4×4 wheel drive. Space Gun is also a light gun game, but with self-explanatory out of this universe setting. Night Striker is a real gem cherished by many of the Playstation and Saturn as what looks like Michael Knight’s KITT car takes on the role of drive and gun blaster.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Irem does have a sublime line of arcade shoot ’em up heritage to raid and this third instalment proves there is plenty still to come with the PC Engine fave Mr Heli, coin-op exclusive Mystic Riders which utilises a broomstick for close up blast encounters and finally Dragon Breed which utilises the shield element of the dragon’s tail in its blasting escapades. Really bring the flavour of the arcade era home to savour.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Truly crazy psychedelic shoot ’em up – think Jet Set Radio meets Shibuya street style with some seriously colourful colour schemes thrown in for good measure as Mebius throws a full roster of projectiles at players. A real cult following since its Wii days and well worth a look for those looking for a shooting blast off the usual scale.
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Smashing conversion tailoring the game to the DC’s hardware and adding in a plethora of unlockable extras. Intelligent use of the ‘striker’ character is essential to progress and there are plenty of potential candidates who rush on launching a scathing attack, then disappear after a bit of taunting. With thirty five slickly animated playable characters to choose from matched by the same number of strikers there’s plenty to get your teeth (and fists) into.
Dreamcast
RPG
One of the Saturn’s finest RPGs (which is more than sufficient recommendation given the plethora of on the system) gets a Dreamcast update. Painstakingly detailed towns to explore in this ‘Skies of Arcadia’ style RPG.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Spend a week with the girls of Pandora’s Dream: a beautifully animated adventure set in the height of the muggy Japanese summer.
Game Gear
Platform
Large sprites boggle eyes on the GG in this fine license of the Sailor Moon series that plays like a platform version of Kung Fu Master. Very colourful and good, old fashioned gameplay makes for a warming experience with those effervescent Sailor Moon gals.
Super Famicom
RPG
Genki frequently harks back to the golden era of SFC RPGs, but its hard not to indulge in some rose tinted nostalgia when you hear the familiar soundtrack to exploring caves and dungeons and spot the familiar cracks in the wall that require further investigation. A happy RPG journey as Koei leads you by the hand through the fantasy world of Brandish.
🏆Sizzler
Nintendo DS
RPG
Anything that the hand of Studio Ghibli touches screams animated gold and this emotive RPG is no exception. Right from the start Oliver sheds a tear wishing his mother would return and its the emotional investment in this exquisitely animated adventure that makes it so worthwhile. The accompanying Magic Book contains simple drawings that can be copied onscreen to unleash powerful attacks in the Final Fantasy style battle sequences. Miyazaki’s characters seem to almost transcend language and speak from the heart. Unless of course we are just trying to gloss over this being Japanese language… Yet should this fail to make a translation, to miss out on it would surely be the more heinous crime…
Dreamcast
Puzzle
Uber kawaii Kitty played a big part in the Dreamcast marketing. Maybe Sega should have gone for Godzilla instead? Simple puzzle game with guest appearances of Kitty’s friends.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Aleste is a well-respected series which has survived more skirmishes than the Millennium Falcon. This includes four versions of the game on the cart in: Aleste (Mark III), GG Aleste (Game Gear), GG Aleste II (Game Gear) and Power Strike II (Master System.)
GameBoy Original
Shooter
A similar title to Kikikaikai with its scrolling shooting action, Shinto priestess and many references to Japan of old in lanterns, Oni bosses and hopping, one eyed umbrellas. In the GB game however the action is force scrolled along, but this is a fine little blast for fans of a Japanese flavoured broth with many varied ingredients thrown into the stock. Ninjas, a Shinto priestess, a Buddhist priest rumbling along dispatching feudal adversaries in ancient Japan: Genki would love to claim the glory, but if we were let loose on a project, this wouldn’t be far off. Think Kikikaikai for the GameBoy. Known in Japan as Tenshin Kaisen.
GameBoy Original
Platform
Kemco goes for an early Disney look approach to realising Mickey in this good, clean platform adventure. Clever touches and plenty of sweet animation to put a spring back in your gaming step. Known in the West as Mickey Mouse Magic Wand.
GameBoy Original
One on One Beat Em Up
Super shrunk down versions of the Hiryu no Ken series fighters with caricature faces and over the top expressions. Not taking itself too seriously, SD Hiryu still manages to pull a few punches and fight its corner well with interesting backgrounds such as cityscapes with Big Ben all adding to the intriguing of the character roster of nineteen characters. Good, clean fighting fun.
GameBoy Original
Platform
Old school platforming in all its springs, strawberries and skateboarding cliched brilliance. Simple character sprites, colourful backgrounds, good play mechanics all add up to a title that built Hudson into a major developer. Full Japanese name ‘Takahashi Meijin no Daibouken Shima II.’
GameBoy Color
RPG
Enjoy the simple life of living a frugal existence fishing in a small Japanese town. A delightful series which captures the spirit of community in such fishing villages as players battle the elements to bring home a prize fish in time to celebrate another timely arrival in the family. Just make sure you pack enough rice balls for your fishing trip. Mention must go to the fine chip tunes too with traditional roots that sooth your worries away. Known as Legend of the River King 2 in the West.
GameBoy Original
RPG
Known as the Legend of the Sea King GB in the West. Explore the town and cast a line or two to try and land the dream fish on endless summer days.
GameBoy Color
RPG
With a graphical look of Mother/Earthbound combined with adversaries to fight looking like extras from Rockman/Megaman, its easy to see why Metal Walker is a cherished part of Capcom’s back catalogue. Innocent RPG gaming from a simpler era of gaming.
GameBoy Original
Simulation
Poor old carpenter Gensan just wants a simple life, but once again his fair lady has been kidnapped and he must battle robot rivals in a quiz format. Questions are a good chance for Japanese students with heavy use of Hiragana and are on the lines of “How many bones in the human body?” Thankfully the answers are multi choice.
