Sony Hardware
Cable
Official audio video lead for the Playstation, PSone or Playstattion 2. Sony’s production values are as good as any. Great output, crisp and clear.
Sony Hardware
Controller
Fishing controller adding great realism to the sport’s sims on the Playstation. Whilst you my look a little strange frantically casting and reeling in the comfort of your living room, this shouldn’t be allowed to get in the way of bagging a nice fighting tench from the comfort of your own armchair with packed lunch on your lap. Ascii released this as a stand alone for other fishing games coming with the Tsurikon or Tsurikon 2 logo.
Playstation
A Bit Special
The Kids Station controller simplifies the buttons from the control pad making for simple mini games, but plenty of fun. The lower age range makes this a great tool for those learning Japanese, especially at Genki’s level.
Playstation
Simulation
A high end Playstation project with incredibly detailed animation and dramatic voice acting to crank up the tension, not that it particularly needs it at time.
Sony Hardware
Controller
Funky, foot tapping beats which players must match to the correct letter on their keyboard and at the right time. Super fly videos rolling the background, not that the player themselves will have much time to savour them. Plenty of variety in beats too, but Genki wont be trying any tricky trance tunes again.
PS2
Action
Haunting Gothic adventure with a heavy emphasis on action and a delightfully spooky, old school feel to proceedings. Dripping with atmosphere and beautifully lit.
PS2
Action
All out sword slicing action with some sublime combos for the joypad dexterous. Sega have a superb heritage in sword play and action and this lesser-known, all-out action title deserves a second look. Just maybe not in the eye or risk a swishing blade in your direction.
PS2
Simulation
Showcasing all that is popular in these sim games: love interest, beautiful graphics and of course a few fights along the way. Considered actions are the order of the way as the interactions with other characters effect the overall endings in a form of gaming karma. A huge Sega title for the discerning otaku with a huge thank you from Sega in the form of this lovely limited edition.
Sony Hardware
Controller
A very ergonomically snug pad for the PS2 taking inspiration from the elusive Saturn style that works a treat with beat em ups such as the many fighters its stable has produced. And its pure class on fighters.
Wonderswan
Simulation
A digital universe with some bizarre, some very cute digimons to interact with a power up your own collection as Bandai backs its swan song to the hilt.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
A well-established developer of love adventures which once again shows its hand is capable of beautifully drawn escapades.
Wonderswan
RPG
From the anime series comes this spin off adventure with original story and plenty of stunningly realised scenes.
Virtual Boy
Sports
Playable from behind the pugilists boxing gloves, you take on robot opponents in a slug fest. The 3D effect works well as the fists fly towards you.
Virtual Boy
Shooter
Plays like Star Fox done in vector graphics – all the levels and enemy ships to shoot at are made up of red lines, but it works well to give a fast flowing, fully 3D environment with the developers showing a fine eye for attention to detail. Various camera angles have been implemented to find the best one for enjoying the challenging levels and boss fights. Plenty of work has been put in on the controls too making them inherently intuitive with evasive rolls and tight turns. The player’s ship not only takes damage to the shields, but also runs low on fuel requiring pilots to posses a ruthless hit and fly streak to flourish. Mention must go to the atmospheric intro too.
Sega Hardware
Controller
Sankyo produce pachinko machines, so their controller accurately replicates the handle used in the arcades to control the speed of the steel balls that fly here, there and everywhere within the machine. A great collector curio and adds much to games for those fans of the hobby.
Wonderswan
Sports
Kinikuman is an alien prince whose escapades are detailed in the Shonen Jump manga. This is a whacked out wrestling game could teach the WWF games a half nelson or two. Shrunk down sprite characters look good on the small screen with some great avatars to show the emotion behind the wrestling masks.
PS2
Sports
Wide, sweeping curves to savour as players put the pedal to the metal. Slick presentation as players swoop in from an aerial view to the finely tuned gaming engine. Plenty of visual treats too such as flags fluttering and balloons lazily drifting by.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Capcom once again recreates the period splendour of a feudal Japan setting for the Onimusha series to delve into a Samurai Spirits style fighting melee. An element of the supernatural is provided by the spooky Nobunaga whose clan of undead warriors must be laid to rest before seeking revenge on the leader himself. Oozes atmosphere with blood red skies, enchanted forests and spine tingling sound effects. There are also plenty of extra items to go back for the completist. Also known as Onimusha Blade Warriors.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Data East rolls its sleeves up and shows its coin up credentials in this one on one martial arts contest with characters such as minotaur using his horns to devastating effect. Plenty of other characters from Greek and Roman mythology and a solid title for the fight enthusiast. Also known as Mutant Fighter.
Sega Hardware
Controller
The only way to play Pop N Music as the makers intended. Fiddly and frustrating at times on the joypad, this dedicated controller soon become intuitive and most importantly fun. A massive series in Japan but to really appreciate its many merits, it takes this controller.
NEO GEO CD
One on One Beat Em Up
The superlatively detailed backgrounds and imaginative combatant design that characterises any quality SNK release are present, as is the power up bar from the 97 version which allows for super moves when full which is preferred by many to the striker system introduced in the sequels from here on in. Just like the real world of martial arts, its takes dedication and hard work to progress with this old school black belt. Today’s crop of beat em ups would take a pasting off this bruiser.
