Gamecube
Sports
Genki feared the worse when the news leaked of a GC debut sequel of the delightful Wave Race. Nintendo well and truly delivered the goods keeping the originals relentless, arm pit tingling gameplay and improving the water transparencies beyond anything seen before. Truly miraculous effects that remain cutting edge even today.

Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
Demo version of a real curiosity in that it’s a game with no graphics having been released after Warp’s president Kenji Eno san received letters from blind gamers requesting some of his D inspired magic. A love story set in Tokyo.
Merchandise
Merchandise
Straps to attach to face masks to make them more comfortable. Also comes with an accessory charm. Great for the gaming or anime convention.
Virtual Boy

Very ambitious attempt to realise tennis in a 3D Mario inspired world with Yoshi, Koopa and Donkey Kong Jr all in there making this a must for any Nintendo collector.
PS4

Dreamcast
Simulation
High school friendship game where players must pick their lines as carefully as the students do their hair in the morning.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Design roller coasters, but they must make the required criteria of not making the riders sick, but then also giving them enough G force and velocity.
Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Strangely compelling horizontal shooter in the R – Type mode. Vivid use of colour and jammed with all manner of foe, the cover warns appropriately of the disturbing contents inside. Incidentally this fine cover is from the team who designed the inlay for the Mega CD title Third World War.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Or Majyo no Otcha Kai as it is Romanised on the cover which translates as Witches Tea Meeting. Plenty of kawaii sparkle and broom snapping tempers to enforce the player to choose their riposte with a good degree of caution.
PS2
Sports
Konami’s crack Major A outfit worked wonders on the PS2 achieving very near perfection in this fluid football game and plays a posession game for the top of the league spot. A real treat to feel like scoring is possible from any position, not just set places on the pitch. Total football.
Super Famicom
Action
The video game version of Blade Runner as players and their Matrix style assailants engage in inter governmental espionage to complete the missions by stealth and by force in a futuristic setting. Well ahead of its time and a very ambitious project that deserves a second look.
Figures
Figure
The SH Figuarts really are figure art and Genki couldn’t resist this piece, despite not being game related. The anime styling of the figure adds a Japanese twist to the Star Wars empire and the set comes with changeable face plates, hands and costume.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
Wii Speak is a voice recognition tool that picks up speech and translates it to the game to save typing. Most famed for its use in Animal Crossing, but compatible with other titles too.
PS4
Action
The Persona world is rich with characters and it sits smoothly (toe tapping away) in this rhythm action game with those able to keep the buttons in the right order able to unleash some devastating dancefloor combos.
PS4
Shoot Em Up
There is a beauty in two players shooting the daylights out of all and sundry in tandem as the background gives a near 3D perception of depth with giant turrets and lunar landscapes. The soundtrack truly rocks: a very important factor in shoot em ups to keep the adrenalin pumping and the eyelids from blinking.
PS4
Side Scrolling Beat Em Up
Playable with Streets of Rage 1 or 2 soundtracks and plenty more nods to its retro roots, but doesn’t it look delightful with its moody settings capture the urban grit perfectly. Just hope players get the chance to appreciate the surrounds whilst swinging punches furiously.
PS4
Action
Square Enix takes on Metal Gear Solid with stealth the order of the day, such as tossing an object over the barricade to distract the guards. Equally the odd Molotov cocktail does the same job. Set in a wintry East with snow falling, the mission is to regain control through sabotage of the rogue Mechs taking over.
Nintendo DS
Action
Naruto charges around in his much loved way, never being far away from ninjas jumping out of the bamboo forest (at least the wolves had an excuse to be sniffing around the trees.) The combat is fast, suiting the pacing of the anime in this superb, delightfully drawn action RPG.
