Switch
Shoot Em Up
Another superb shmup release in the series with the human character used, as opposed to mechanical ship, adding much to the connection between player and intriguing character. It also seems to help create a greater sense of vertical depth. A real labour of love.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Insane amount of projectiles on screen as the wee witches avoid the harmful ones whilst swooping on their brooms to grab the power ups needed to keep reciprocating the bullet barrage. Lovely graphical style to suit the witches theme.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Reaching back into what feels to Genki like the near past in compiling three precious (and fairly exclusive) Saturn shooters in Cotton 2, Cotton Boomberang and Guardian Force. Cotton 2 exemplifies all the hit points that made the Saturn a mean 2D machine. Cute sprite graphics and good pacing. Boomerang is not a full sequel to Cotton 2, more feeling like a very slick update as there wasn’t anything really in need of correcting in the prequel. The controls have been revamped along with gameplay additions of a special charge projectile and the facility to switch between three different players. As such the energy bar has gone: each player now represents a life. The in game graphics have been given a lick of paint with some impressive effects hurtling the player into more on screen insanity. The presentation has also been spruced up with hi resolution cut sequences and an intro to give twitchy fingers a break. A true success saving the best until last. Guardian Force is a unique take on the shooter formula with players taking the role of tank driver to blast through enemy lines. No mere gimmick though: in a refreshing twist the tanks turret can rotate through 360 degrees making it possible to pound enemy installations whilst making a hasty retreat. The simultaneous two player option is the icing on the pretty looking cake. A dream team compilation and a real blast.
Animal Crossing Figures

Looking very dapper in top and tails, Jack’s deadpan expression reveals his character. Fine tribute to a wonderful series.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
The Tokimeki phenomena is absolutely immense in Japan and as such fan service releases such as this go down a treat there. But Konami have kept an eye out for the growing band of overseas fans with some English language messages and menu translations when accessed via a PC. On the Saturn the disk is crammed with media with music video clips, art gallery presentations even the chance to play paper, scissors, stone with your favourite Tokimeki character.
Sega Saturn
Shoot Em Up
Lushly pastel shaded vertically scrolling shoot ’em up from the reliable Konami stable celebrating ten years of Twinbee. Off – shoot of the Gradius and Parodius series. Shooter heads may find its frivolous gameplay a little easy, but everyone will enjoy the ride.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Subtitled: Darkstalkers’ Revenge. The Saturn was made for titles of this ilk: wonderfully balanced characters hammering it out in 2D bliss. You can feel Capcom’s spark return in this Saturn classic.
PS2
Platform
A fine 3D platform escapade with the manga coming to life complete with speed lines and stretchy limbs. The look is 3D, but the action is more 2.5D making it both playable and full of clever gaming twists that bring the vibrant series kicking, screaming and yelling to the PS2. Known in the West as One Piece Round the Land.
Playstation
Action
Containing some of the Final Fantasy VII characters ensured plenty of attention to Ehrgeiz’s 3D fighting action. Each pugilist has a different attribute special move: be it a traditional projectile, a wieldy weapon or transforming into an animal. Includes a quest mode where you enter the dungeons to fight through various rooms – getting well stocked at the village store is advisable before descending. There are also some mini games which act as a nice diversion from the beast pummelling action.
Playstation
Simulation
Interweaves different time zones from the past, present and future very cleverly to make for a seamless anime adventure with tasty cut scenes as seasoned anime veterans may expect with those fine production values overflowing into the game too.
Playstation
Sports
Delightful tennis from Namco given a neo Tokyo, super fly make over, but the zany courts are an ever present – be in the Great Barrier Reef, the Houses of Parliament or the Theme Park complete with Splatterhouse attraction. In fact the game is full of self references – Namco certainly appreciate their rich heritage. Plays like a dream without the need for flash polygons.
Playstation
Shoot Em Up
Playstation exclusive giving the designers free reign to tailor it to the machine’s strengths. A real polished gem in the Gradius family crown. Also known as ‘Nemesis’.
PS2
Simulation
Fine history to this hard hitting mech series right from the Super Famicom days and the fourth installment heads out to South Africa and Germany. As you’d expect with Square the attention to detail is immense and moody, sometimes grim lighting effects add to the destructive, apocalyptic atmosphere. Great weapons with a real weighty feel to them.
PS2
RPG
Wild Arms has a loyal band of followers and its fine combat engine makes it worthy of such dedicated support. Turn based combat with shouts and cries to make you think each blow is going to be your last sustained, such are the dramatic exclamations. And power to the over the top pyrotechnics involved in each assault, not that they need any extra power. Subtitled The Fourth Denominator.
Playstation
Sports
Tennis games have never needed over eloborate graphics as the cartoony, highly playable Smash Court remonstrates with panache. Some highly imaginative courts including inside a stately home, an ornamental garden complete with arcade machine and a beach!
Sega Saturn
Action
Sonic Team once again underlines it’s prowess and originality when given a free hand. Saving trapped souls from burning buildings is the order of the day. Unfortunately coming too late in the day to save the Saturn…
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
A dream title for Sega fight fans which sees the creme of Virtua Fighter pitched head on against the elite of Fighting Vipers. Choc-a-bloc with hidden eggs which gives the game longevity comparable to VF’s Shun. Mention must go to Kumachan, a Genki legend.
Sega Saturn
Sports
A tasty piece of programming making the PlayStation eat humble pie. Crisp graphics running a a high frame rate truly brought the arcade experience home. But gameplay is what counts – the developer’s extensive rally car physics research oozes from every powerslide.
Playstation
Puzzle
Packed full of modes as you’d expect from Taito – even utilising some of their back catalogue of crazy characters. The most intriguing mode is a level edit allowing you to design your own fiendish fantasy puzzles.
Wonderswan
Stimulation
A digital universe with some bizarre, some very cute digimons to interact with a power up your own collection as Bandai backs its swan song to the hilt.
XBOX
Action
Combos doesn’t really go far enough as opponents are more dissected in air with a samurai sword. Yet quick reflexes are a requisite with some enemies using more modern weapons than the traditional ninja. Puts back the fear into the word boss.
