Wii
A Bit Special
Bound to bring a tear of joy to the eye of Saturn loving gamers containing both the Saturn original and a brushed up version for the Wii. This version has a wealth of extras plus there are beautiful cut scenes to celebrate Nights twelfth anniversary. And the rumours persist the game can be changed into Christmas Nights somehow.
XBOX
Shooter
So named from the flash of light from the barrel when the sniper pulls the trigger in this fine shooter with accuracy and stealth paramount to progress. Very exciting in terms of building the pressure – similar to the seminal Goldeneye on the N64.
Famicom Cart
Shoot Em Up
A vintage vertical scroller that pulls up its bar stool and satisfactorily sups its tipple, safe in the knowledge that what it does, it does very well. Don’t expect any favours, but it does make a great adventure.
XBOX
Action
Mech based shooting game where you are the hunter and the hunted. Allows a selection of weapons depending on the situation of the mission – some requiring great haste to take down the enemy android in time. Tight, intuiative controls making good use of the shoulder buttons for speed control. Really enjoyable to zip through the stunningly realistic skyscrapers at mach speed. Some nice bonus extras to unlock help you to strive to meet each goal.
Famicom Cart
Shooter
This helicopter rescue game positively zips along with a very impressive sense of depth. Yet players need to keep a keen eye on the foreground as tanks and turrets try to take out your tail blade. Good variation in locales: from city to mountain via dessert and cavernous lagoon.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Any game featuring colourful fruit power ups can’t be bad in Genki’s eyes and Donkey Kong Junior is in fine fettle as the wee monkey leaps from vine to vine in a more aerial assault on his papa gone crackers. Vintage gaming from an exciting era of home consoles.
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.
