GameBoy Color
Sports
A real work out with press-ups, climbing poles, climbing walls, running with weights. Luckily its a lot more fun to play, especially with the over the top commentator to encourage you on to the goal. Known as Muscle Ranking.
Famicom Cart
Platform
A time travelling money should come as no surprise as plenty of moneys have been dispatched into space ships over the years. This one is handy with a boomerang to clock a few choice dinosaurs or sharks. Its possible to transform into a mech style monkey (being a Bandai title) and also to traverse levels in a shoot em up style in the ship that delivers the player to the different time zones.
Famicom Disk System
Platform
Delightfully old school platform shooting as Square begins on its quest to become one of the finest developers in the world. Humble roots can be found here, but the attention to detail shines as beautifully as the sunshine level.
Also known as Hao Kun no Fushigina Tabi and known in the West as Mystery Quest.
PS2
A Bit Special
One of the first releases in Japan for the PS2, it is only recently the delights of Fantavision have blasted back into the limelight boosting its price on the second hand market. Long may Sony continue such experimental titles.
PS4
Shoot Em Up
Dream compilation for the new and old generation with the Famicom and Arcade versions of Tiger Heli: Toaplan show their flair for explosive onslaughts as players pilot the helicopter through 1942 style warfare based levels. Gameplay is well thought out and most importantly fair. A very solid Famicom shooter that lead to the Ultimate Tiger sequel, also conveniently included in Arcade, Twin Cobra, PC Engine, Famicom and mega Drive incarnations:
Vertically scrolling helicopter based blaster. Think 1941 with copters for planes. Taito once again showing its expertise in crafting very competent shooters. Also known as Kyukyoku Tiger.
Finally includes a bit of side scrolling fight action in Get Star for some light relief from the bullet barrage.
Switch
Shooter
Few will forget their first blast on Kikikaikai. The initial barrier was to be able to pronounce it to the local importer in the pre-internet days. And despite being just the early nineties, few gamers were sufficiently cross-pollinated with games of its ilk to understand the ensuing cultural chaos. Not that it requires understanding with fast paced shooting fury the order of the day. Yet a randy raccoon tanuki friend that can deflect shots with his tail did raise a few eyebrows. The Shinto inspired Japanese blaster draws on mythology as necks extend inexplicably and one-eyed umbrella ghosts hop past. Cultural references aplenty all in a luscious sprite-based world driving gamers on to see more. Unrelenting pace as you the priestess battle against all the evil of underworld armed with nothing more than a purification branch. A Super Famicom classic well-worthy of this fine update and hopefully new and old audience with new playable characters. Known in the West as Pocky and Rocky Reshrined.
GameBoy Color
Simulation
Off-shoot of the mega series with authentic avatars and card-based combat as players explore the Shin Megami world and meet its mystery inhabitants.
GameBoy Advance
Sports
Wrestling simulation in a first person perspective similar to ‘Fist of the North Star’. A plethora of Mexican wrestling masks and luminous lycra leotards backed up by an interactive anime story mode with all the Chinese characters simplified by syllables written above.
Sega Saturn
Sports
More arcade feel than other games of this stable. It’s hard to explain the feeling of nurturing a young foal into the derby winner. But it’s good!
Super Famicom
RPG
Miyamato’s masterpiece deserves every superlative ever heaped on it, yet it remains as humble as lead character Link. A wonderful story that shines bright like one of the torches in the castle’s darkest, dank gaming dungeons. Miyamoto’s dream world turned into a gaming reality for all to behold. The finest RPG ever?
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Neo – Geo classic giving the SFC architecture a full body work out. Mana from heaven for old school 2D grapple fans. Pushes the hardware to near breaking point, and whilst in can’t quite match the mega memory cart and sprite handling capabilities of its Neo Geo counterpart, KAC have pulled out all the stops to at least give it a black eye and thick lip. Play as Ryo or Robert on their quest to rescue Yuri from the clutches of bad guys in South Town.
Super Famicom
Sports
Suitably whiny engines and break neck speeds exploiting Mode 7 like the manufacturers make the most of their cars. Classic old school racing with the simpler pick up and play mechanics many pine for.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
Rumoured to be an exploration into the possibility of doing VF 3 on the Saturn, J-Pop music video editor for fans of the top selling artist. Involvement of the legendary AM2 on the project.
Super Famicom
Puzzle
Take on the Puyo Puyo master plan where players align four of the same coloured bug eyed balls with saccharine sweet characters and plenty of cutesy sound effects. Does actually add to the genre though and is a well respected series on the Super Famicom.
PSP
Action
A heady mix of high school, a yakuza style teacher and a few students who don’t mind a scrap. Even a few maid costumes thrown in there – not too sure how they manage to get involved in the story. Plenty of fisticuffs with a few side quests such as fishing thrown in for good measure. Title translates as Wild Teacher In High School.
Playstation
Sports
A racing game that stirs nostalgic memories amongst gamers of a certain vintage, such was its graphical attainment on the humble Playstation and more arcade style gameplay.
PS2
Simulation
A good license to add much to the pachinko genre as steel balls tumble to many aggressive sounding threats and grim looking outcomes from the Mad Max of the anime world. This is the updated Special Edition with even more shouts of ‘Kiai.’
PS2
Simulation
Refreshing visual pizzazz to this classy production with cel shaded armies contrasted against the pre-rendered beauty of the main protagonists and some swirling stunning pastel backdrops. A bizarre array of characters pop up throughout the game keeping the players interest – none cooler than the chicken carrying his wounded comrade in a wheelbarrow. And some characters literally pop out with monsters being hatched from eggs to join in the mass battles. With a musical score from Uematsu san, Square fans will be in their element. Subtitled The Seven Hanjuku Heroes.
PS2
RPG
Atlus has a fair hand for RPGs and reciprocates its fans love in this opus. The isometric graphics look like they are hand drawn and blend seamlessly from the sweeping opening scene. Voice acting is of a high standard as one may expect from such a pedigree publisher. Savour every XP scrap.
PS2
Rhythm
Genki soon discovered to lack any sort of rhythmical talent when trying to drum to the tune of ‘salt, pepper, mustard vinegar’. But no sour grapes to those who can follow the beats and have the music in them in Konami’s funky drumming game.
PS2
Simulation
Probably not the best language tool to learn Japanese from, unless it’s a quite effeminate way of talking you are looking to master. It’s a tight-rope to walk to avoid upsetting the games mostly female protagonists and best of British with it!
