The simultaneous four player mode is as enjoyable as the slick play mechanics. Known in Japan as ‘Chou Kuukan Night Pro Yakyuu King.’

PS3
Action
Based in in ancient Japan, Genji really brings the Heian period to life with graphical splendor in the rich, colourful kimonos where you can make out every thread. The cut scenes are of sublime quality as the scene is set: Genji clan must once again defeat the rival Heishi clan with a seeming supernatural influence. As you’d expect from a game of rich samurai heritage the action is hack and slash, or dice and slice more appropriately with the sharp sword used and the combos soon roll off the joypad. With progress comes the opportunity to play as new characters: the slow, but powerful Benkei, the spear armed Lord, but its the nimble priestess Shizuka with her nifty grapple hook that looks most stunning. All group members must be equally protected if you don’t want the credits to roll early – one death of any member means game over. The game also utilises the systems motion sensing controller.
PSP
Action
With a mighty cast of assailants, there’s certainly plenty to get your teeth and fists into in this off shoot of the chic, cel shaded combat extravaganza. More of a cutesy approach has been taken with the look and the action is firmly rooted in 2D scrolling fight fun making for some frantic action using the dash attack. The in game action has the feel of the anime having captured the essence excellently – a definite thumbs up.
SNK Hardware
Cable
Official SNK AV cable for those who want the assurance of the SNK brand. Red, yellow and white inputs and outputs.
GameBoy Color
RPG
Very sweet graphical style to this little known off shot of the Brave Saga series with the look of the Mother series in its prime. Plenty of scrapes along the way, but the very friendly user interface makes combat enjoyable rather than a chore.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Rescue the Tomato Princess and receive the praise of the Broccoli King to become a fine, upstanding cucumber. Possibly the strangest way to encourage salad consumption, but a wonderfully crafted adventure and in friendly Hiragana for those budding students of Japanese: be in language or culture. Known in Japan as Salad no Kuni no Tomato Hime.
Super Famicom
Action
Luckyman is the combination of one of the unluckiest boys in the world (being crushed by a UFO landing) and Luckyman. This dream combo are charged with keeping alien invaders away. It makes more sense in the manga anyway. Well not much! This action based game is subtitled Lucky Cookie Roulette.
PS2
Rhythm
Croon out you all the J Pop ‘classics’ including numbers from Aiko, Yellow Monkey, GLAY, Globe, Puffy, Zard et al. amongst the one hundred tracks. Just please make sure the neighbours are out first!
Super Famicom
Platform
Sound representation of the cat and mouse game to the point you’ll hear the immortal scream of Thomas. Players can cooperate as fish and footballs are bagged, the latter used as projectiles. The parallax scrolling is very impressive and the bright colours have that friendly, all American feel. The Japanese release is on the medium rare list, that’s for sure.
Super Famicom
Action
Inspired by the weighty puppet license comes a worthy video game translation with great use of the series many vehicles such as the giant air balloon used in great effect in a shoot em up scenario. Plenty of cut scenes to remind you who the heroes are.
Merchandise
DVD
530 minutes actually soon flies by as Enterbrain does seem to do what its name would suggest its good at and get in the heads of players of these two fine, upstanding titles. Plenty of hot tips and every nook and cranny is explored with Melty Blood having a good haul being a doujin title.
PC Engine HU Card

First in the long running Power League baseball series from big hitting Hudson Soft.

Just please make sure the neighbours are out first!
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Opening with an impressive Golgo 13 style assassination of the President and the aftermath, the sequel to Quovadis immediately cranks up the tension. Players take to their mech suits and move around the overhead arenas fighting it out against dark terrorist forces, kept company by some well animated avatars and interrupted by important developments via the anime cut scenes. Quantum leap forward in the series.
