Super Famicom
Platform
Based on the antics of the TV anime series jammed packed with ninjas and kunoichi, or female ninjas. Genki is a sucker for any ninja game, especially in the colourful SFC style. The setting of the anime is in a ninja school where you train to become a fully fledged assassin, but not without a few mishaps on the way.
Sega Saturn
Sports
Dodgy little FMV sequence with heavy sponsors influence: it could only be a fishing game. Fishermen and ladies get to take their boat out into the desired location keeping an eye on the depth metre in a cute, little sprite section. A line is then cast and those legendary fighting bass await as the sound of summer and cicadas rings therapeutically in the ears.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
A nice little addition for the dedicated Saturn cone head collector with this one level demo to whet the appetite.
Slick card presentation case with glossy finish containing instructions and shots.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
Perhaps it was playing this on his import Dreamcast that Mr Cowell first came upon his idea for a TV show? The producer must choose a budding artist from the host of auditioning wannabes. Then the real work starts in making a song and getting it to Top of the Pops.
Mega Drive
Sports
Conversion of the popular Japan exclusive, early nineties coin op in which players get to focus on pitching and batting the baseball and the fielding is kindly taken care of by the rest of the CPU controlled team.
Playstation
Puzzle
Last Compile release in the series which compiles the Mega Drive versions of Puyo Puyo and Puyo Puyo 2 adding four player modes and a Pocket Station interaction mode. The real bonus is the quest mode which allows players to challenge the imaginative inhabitants of the Puyo world to battles in order to progress.
Miscellaneous Hardware
Console
Allows you to play Japanese Famicom titles as well as having 8 types of game built in to the console itself bringing back some heady memories. However it is not compatible with every game released for the Famicom system, there are some that won’t run on it. Contains two controllers, AV cable with one audio and one graphic output but the power lead may require a step down convertor sold separately.
Merchandise
Figure
Five types including the UFO, Squid, Crab, Octopus and Cannon each in four colours to pay tribute to the 30th Anniversary of the coin hungry monster arcade. Also includes a cracking little sticker full of retro chic.
PS2
Action
Sky diving on a snowboard to pull off tricks through sheer joypad dexterity. Sub game is a Pilot Wings style ‘Beat Balloon.’
Dreamcast
Simulation
Mahjong game which allowed for online play and the associated banter that goes with it through the use of the various calls, such as ‘reach!’ or ‘tea!’ when in a fix. Well presented with a useful perspective on the table tile action.
Sony Hardware
Controller
Sumptuous Sanwa joystick lever brings home all the thrills of the arcade with this solid and weighty number. A generous three metre cable (or ten feet) to boot and a turbo mode for tight spots. A very bold and stylish finish to the graphics on the stick in keeping with the series plus a couple of exclusive sticker sheets to reward fans of this cult, doujin cracker.
PS2
Action
Looking like a tribute to the mighty Jet Set Radio is a compliment indeed with super fly, fresh, cel shaded graphics full of garish colours and free form surrounds to skate or die for. Comes with a finger board attachment for the Dual Shock to make the skate moves players pull off all the more sweetly rewarding. A quirky skate title that stand out from the crowd and Koei should be applauded for that. Also known as Yanya Caballista City Skater.
Microsoft Hardware
Console
The Asian version has the advantage of being plug in and play in UK shores coming with a UK style plug. Besides this it can play Japanese games alongside Asian versions so allowing gaming vets to test out the consoles claim to be the baton carrier to the Dreamcasts bid to keep the shooter up and running. Tidy finish and futuristic buttons. Kinect ready too.
Gamecube
Action
A fun, all-action racing game with super deformed characters from the Ultraman and Kamen Rider roster making up the majority of the starting line with other well know live action heroes thrown in to the mull. Courses take a variety of routes even through homes and the bath house at times and the emphasis is on fun rather than a serious race. And the humour combined with the colourful look produce a worthy import cracker. Can be translated as Bike Hero.
Super Famicom
Shooter
A squashed down version of the mecha robot machines taking on a array of dark knights across varied locales from deep space to the expanses of the desert. The action is shooting based with plenty of close combat making good use of the weighty license.
Super Famicom
Platform
Bright and breezy platformer in the traditional 16Bit style with bold, colourful characters full of well-animated expression. In an unusual twist Taruroto uses his tongue to eat blocks and whack away enemies. Recommended to fans of the genre. Subtitled Magic Adventure.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Subtitled ‘The Apprentice Angel.’ Heart warming love simulation set in a beautifully realised, anime style hospital world.
Sega Saturn
Sports
Bring up your wee foal to become a champion stallion. Just don’t hang around with the shady characters at the Tokyo Race Course too much though.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Continuing the otaku’s favourite Gundam series with cut scenes straight out of the anime to literally blow you away.
Mega Drive
Action
Tongue in cheek take on a battle game with close hand combat and much more hedged on the action side of the genre. Plays like a large sprite version of Cannon Fodder with Metal Slug like combatants on screen players steam into enemy, or at last to a safe spot on screen. Tactics are required, but the game eases one in gently until you find yourself grenade pin in teeth, machine gun in arm.
Miscellaneous Games
Simulation
A simple art package allowing players to compose basic sentences but also muster up masterful pictures to illustrate the day out for example. Very cute and cuddly with a good opportunity to practise hiragana script.
