Famicom Cart
RPG
Traverse the lands in your merry band with battles never too far away. The classic Enix fight interface is never celebrated more than in the Dragon Quest series and it remains a cherish memory in many a Japanese household.
Nintendo DS
Simulation
A perfect way to crack into the 1006 essential kanji used in Japanese elementary schools and as such get a real footing in the Japanese language. Regardless of not needing to write, kanji provide the building blocks of the language as they can be pieced together for different meanings; but an understanding of the stand alone meaning can help no end. As endorsed by those dedicated RPG players at Genki.
Sony Hardware
Accessory
Very high quality of workmanship with volume control complete with PSP logo, clip to avoid pulling on the ears and various earpiece sizes to ensure it works for all. Very discrete in clear finish.
PS2
Sports
Namco felt the need to ditch the adorable sprites of earlier versions of the series to adjust the series for the PS2 crew. As such the official players of the era and the proper stadiums have been used. Yet the gameplay thankfully remains very familiar and as such it plays like a dream. Henman for champ then.
Playstation
Simulation
Takes a turn based strategic approach to mecha warfare (similar to Front Mission) as opposed to the previous clunky metal shoot ’em ups. Keep an eye on your soldiers for signs of overheating and short circuiting through the cockpit view. Well animated and pretty presentation of the intercom conversations and cut scenes.
Nintendo Hardware
Controller
Funky Famicom controller that works one handed, though perhaps Genki lacks a bit of dexterity and needs a bit more practise. Comfortable layout and a fine additional controller for the system.
Merchandise
DVD
Colourful anime and manga series which stars plenty of references to witches named after dessert flavours and the action and characterisation is no less lacking in saccharine sweet events. Released to celebrate the DS release of the game.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Released along side the PSP update of the Playstation original twelve years on, yet still as charmingly refreshing as when first released. Includes remixed and rearranged tracks as well as originals with Gatten Sushi and Velvet Room amongst the ten top tracks.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
A drama or radio show style CD based on the popular Hudson Tengai Makyou series. Fine voice acting from the stars of the show and a nice collectable.
Merchandise
Merchandise
Four different types of key chain to collect to celebrate one of Namco’s popular Tale of games. Luckily at a price where you can chance your arm on getting all four types.
Merchandise
Merchandise
A celebration of Super Robot Taisen, a series that even has a discerning following abroad. The disk allows owners to construct their own battle scenes in full glory anime style complete with ginormous explosions and plenty of speed lines.
Merchandise
DVD
Super Robot Taisen is a very long running epic from Japanese shores and this DVD is just as full of the high tension and dedication from the programmers that make the series super. Subtitled Ultimate Giga Disc.
Merchandise
Merchandise
A preorder gift from the DS and PSP versions of Kamen Rider Generation 2 featuring fifty different Kamen Rider guises making it an essential purchase for fans of the bulbous eyed superhero.
Sony Hardware
Accessory
Snazzy and sharp DragonBall Z themed PSP pouch until now only available exclusively to for those securing their preorder of Shin Budoukai 2.
Merchandise
Merchandise
Anime poster awarded as a preorder gift in Christmas 2010.
Merchandise
Merchandise
Set of two mascots from the popular anime based Hitman game. In true Japanese styel, doesn’t look as mean as you might expect from a hitman in miniature form.
Playstation
A Bit Special
Japan exclusive that was followed up on the PS2 with player friendly front end to ease you into controlling a friendly robot. It soon becomes second nature to control the robot and gameplay is full of the delight a mechanised friend would bring. Innovative and enjoyable, a refreshing title.
Playstation
RPG
Based on the Journey to the West legend: join Monkey, Pigsy, Sandy and Tripitaka on their quest to India to find the Buddhist scriptures. Train up your skills in each town’s Dojo to ensure you’re suitably beefed up to whip the next batch of devils into shape with Monkey’s magical extending pole.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
Borrows the characters from Spectral Souls and Generations of Chaos to bring together some serious grudges all brought out to air with a plethora of speed lines, in game taunts and back chat. The engine seems to take its leave from Capcoms design school – certainly no shame in that – and as such comes in heavily recommended for fisticuff fans after a good hoe down. The PSP version admirably replicates the PS2 big brother with virtually no loading times.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
This disk has four demos from Bomberman SS, Sakura Wars, Virtua On and Tengai Makyo. A nice curio for the dedicated Saturn conehead.
Merchandise
Merchandise
A six minute tribute to the Mega Drive version of Virtua Racing with plenty of footage of the game along with Japanese commentary and that famous sampled Sega shout out.
