Nintendo DS
A Bit Special
A Club Nintendo title that could only be obtained in Japan by those holding sufficient points which should no doubt add to its collectability in years to come. Transforms your DS into a Game & Watch machine in which Nintendo first cut its handheld teeth complete with clock. Two titles are included this time: Octopus and Parachute to help while away any waiting lounge.
XBOX
Sports
Authentic grapple action with swopping camera angles and brutal special moves to the rock soundtrack with only getting sprayed with sweat missing from the ringside action.
Sony Hardware
Controller
A fine curio controller compatible with mahjong games, boasting its own display.
Famicom Cart
Simulation
The Datach system looks like it’d be more at home in a back street Hong Kong games dealer sitting as it does on top of the Famicom, plugging into the cart slot. It accepts mini carts with the games on, leaving the top access for data cards that can be scanned in to gain advantage in the many bouts players face. A real collectors unit.
PS4
Shoot Em Up
Two superb 16 Bit versions of Cotton in the orthodox Super Famicom Cotton 100% and the out of the box Panorama Cotton of Mega Drive fame. Both worthy of this tribute and executed supremely with the colourful, comic bosses a real treat for retro fans.
PS4
Shoot Em Up
Two superb 16 Bit versions of Cotton in the orthodox Super Famicom Cotton 100% and the out of the box Panorama Cotton of Mega Drive fame. Both worthy of this tribute and executed supremely with the colourful, comic bosses a real treat for retro fans.
Nintendo Hardware
Accessory
A very recognisable cap worthy of doffing your own hat to. Probably best not worn, especially to prevent the DS, DSi or DS Lite that can be stashed inside its pouch from taking a shock to the system.
Switch
Shoot Em Up
Two superb 16 Bit versions of Cotton in the orthodox Super Famicom Cotton 100% and the out of the box Panorama Cotton of Mega Drive fame. Both worthy of this tribute and executed supremely with the colourful, comic bosses a real treat for retro fans.
Merchandise
Merchandise
Beautiful set of collectors badges issued only to loyal Platinum Club Nintendo members in Japan to celebrate Marios 25th Anniversary. Besides the retro kudos, the boxes can be arranged to make different scenes from the early years of the eternally youthful series.
Merchandise
Merchandise
Classy reward courtesy of Nintendo of Japan to its Platinum Members but finished in gold effect. Not sure of its worth smelted down, but few gamers would be able to dish out such a fate to what will be an heirloom of the future. Strictly limited, but this is no mass market Mario.
Merchandise
Handheld
Dream present for Japanese Club Nintendo members to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the Game & Watch release of Ball. As it was only available to Platinum Members with sufficient points it will no doubt be one day as rare as the original production run.
Nintendo DS
RPG
Square Enix have done a spiffing job of converting this epic quest to the DS with delightful pastel shading adding to the charm of what was already a triple-A opus. Genki is grateful for the furigana to help read the text.
PC Engine HU Card
Shoot Em Up
Weighing in as one of the heavyweight Engine titles: relentless waves of enemy assaults soon induce sweaty palm syndrome on even the most hardened and grizzled gaming vet. Famed in its heyday for sampled speech.
Mega Drive
Action
Full of arcade action in the Ikari Warriors mould, Gain Ground has a good half century of well varied levels taking you through the ages keeping it visually fresh. Plays like a dream in two player with the goal being either to take everyone out in the time constrained levels or to get to the exit. Rescuing a hostage adds another member to your merry band to choose from with often an ace arsenal that goes with them. A real unheralded treat for Sega action fans.
Super Famicom
Shooter
Star Fox utilised the new FX chip to the maximum producing a tight 3D shooter worthy of the Nintendo branding. As with all Nintendo classics, the gameplay is introduced to you gradually as you slowly begin to master control of the nippy airwing. Great control sees you weaving between buildings, skirting under bridges and taking on fruit machines in no time… With lavish presentation including banter with your fellow animal wing men, Starfox is a Super Famicom must have.
Playstation
Shoot Em Up
Pixel pefect reproduction of the two player coin-op vertical shooter. The mighty power ups are needed to combat the steep difficulty curve. Incredible attention to detail with even falling debris causing a splash in the background. The squid boss is a Genki fave in a twisted way!
Playstation
A Bit Special
A unique, refreshing experience in gaming: play as a chef in a variety of restaurants from Chinese to fast food having to prepare dishes correctly to keep the customers happy. Drunken salarymen and cockroaches provide the hazards.
Playstation
Action
Update of the highly original Super Famicom title, particularly at the time being pre-Burning Rangers, but now given a post-Rangers voice feature. On similar lines to Sega’s epic: fires must be extinguished and people rescued to progress. Each level has a particularly raging fire at the end that must be tamed before clearing the level. Nice pick up and play arcade mechanics.
Playstation
Action
The fear returns as Raccoon City is overrun by brain munching zombies. The execution is impeccable as the subtle sounds of footsteps on broken glass or the groan of a zombie unleash the sort of psychological terror only really found in the likes of Silent Hill.
Playstation
RPG
Capcom shows how it can update its Breath of Fire series with the extra processing power of the Playstation, whilst remaining faithful to the pretty glint in the eye of its first love and remaining true to its isometric roots. Lusciously lavish.
Playstation
Sports
Very fast as our mach speed mean machines seem to positively stick to the track as players whiz round the varied and colourful course in this popular PSX game well worth its nostalgia. A real test of driving skill with the cartoony handling adding to a title not taking itself too seriously and the fun in the sun shining through as a result.
