Famicom Cart
Action
Classic and little known action title in the mould of PacMan, but a bit more cerebral as players are required to collect various power ups and holy books in order to seal the tomb and complete the stage. The forced scrolling tends to change direction and force well made plans into reverse, but its all part of the hard to put down fun. Pure Nintendo magic.
Famicom Cart
Action
Battle against various other animals such as rats, bats and cows to knock each other out by rolling balls along the tabletop. Each character has their own unique characteristics making them difficult to beat.
Famicom Cart
Platform
A game carrying many a fond memory of teenage Famicom fans in Japan. Sadly, it now means many of those teenagers are now Salarymen, but flying along on a skateboard and grabbing the fruit will get that glint back in the eye of the most jaded. Also known as Takahashi Meijin no Boukenshima.
Game Gear
Sports
A fine F1 title that heralded the arrival of a console a bit special. Realistic in the sense that your team matters as in real F1 and careful choice is a must before you can consider clambering onto the podium. Also includes an arcade mode for a frantic quick fix for rev heads.
Gamecube
Sports
Spiffing graphics, perfect ball physics and smooth menus are a given with Nintendo sports titles. Yet there is plenty to add to the fun of the tennis here with octopus opponents, special moves smashes and interactive courts
Gamecube
Sports
Swish presentation is a given with Nintendo and the colourful characters are full of sunshine in this pleasant stroll round the course like that first spring sun on your back as the birds herald their return.
Gamecube
Action
Gets right under your skin from the off as the sense of foreboding grows with each new assailant from the legions of the undead. The detail is a little too much at times.
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.
Sega Hardware
Cable
AV cable for the older and newer models of the Sega Saturn. Very versatile and from a stable with a good retro history.
Sega Hardware
Cable
AV cable for the Mega Drive 2. Very versatile and from a stable with a good retro history.
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.
