SNK Hardware
Accessory
SNK artwork is always worthy of further admiration and these four stickers are no exception. Used to decorate a Neo Geo Mini to show allegiance to your favourite game or fighter.
PS4
Action
The legend returns to the PS4 to bring joy to the many devotees who never lost hope of a revival of their flame for Ryo and his quest to avenge his fathers death. Albeit not a sequel, but fingers crossed for a successful release and the momentum that would create. Said to be the originator of open world exploration, the towns and cities look beautiful and the characters in them are either charming or despicable. And we need the less savoury street vermin for Ryo to dispatch. It wouldn’t be the same laying into the fine folk. And the fight system, based on the Virtua Fighter engine, is still purring like a treat, now also coming with the choice of fighting style.
Mega Drive
Platform
A projectile spitting and fire breathing ape makes for a versatile character to take on the imaginative platforms and bosses inspired by Buddhism and certainly harder to credit end of level adversaries. A very fine MD platformer and well sort on the system. Also known as Toki.
GameBoy Color
Simulation
Sequel to the popular Super Famicom version, this handheld update takes a card-based combat approach. Great characters in the Hudson mould. Subtitled The Miracle of The Zone.
PS4
Shoot Em Up
A remix of Cruisin Mix which maintains the madcap spirits of the original Saturn version in its updated Classic and Arcade modes. The sprite style harks of a retro era, yet the mechanics are the latest gleaning model. Veterans will appreciate the chance to sharpen their claws on the Time Attack mode and can even choose their desired BGM to get the juices flowing. Players can also choose different characters, including from the well known Tatsujin.
Super Famicom
A Bit Special
Super Chinese World, Super Ultra Baseball and Hiryu no Ken Golden Fighter make up the three titles on Volume One. A good mix with sport covered by the baseball. Then there’s Super Chinese World jammed full of Chinese cultural references, or at least Chinese culture from a Japanese perspective, it can be pretty zany at times. And finally Golden Fighter is a fighting fit conversion of the one on one coin op bruiser with story mode and versus mode. Good blend of bare hand boxing and slight of hand weaponry making this a solid and entertaining package.
PC Engine CD ROM
Sports
A big slugging title containing all the stats of the Japan based baseball stars (including the big – earning, ageing foreigners) as well as a full complement of Japanese teams and stadiums.
Sega Saturn
RPG
Fantasy RPG with heavy influence on battles between warring fractions. Sega style anime graphics and multiple storylines.
Merchandise
Magazine
A tribute to the crack unit that was Toaplan and its beast Ultimate Tiger. Definitely the A-Team of shooter stables. The art is exceptional bringing the action and explosions to life. Also features Musihimesama, Under Defeat HD, Steel Empire (MD) and little know Windows shooter Valhellio.
Sega Saturn
RPG
Well loved series that spanned the console generations successfully with its fine, fantasy RPG gameplay and plenty of emotive moments that pull on the heart strings as much as the orchestra has pulled on the cello strings.
PC Engine CD ROM
Simulation
Known in the West as the Lords of the Rising Sun, the game takes us on a trip into Japans feudal past when samurai clashed on the whim of their leader. Here the exiled son must muster all his might to regroup, hold and take back what is rightfully his.
Miscellaneous Games
A Bit Special
Not a game (though there is a quiz), but an educational compilation of various animals for younger ones to savour viewing. Giraffes, bears, dogs and monkeys are all in Kawaii form with plenty of footage of each.
Japanese title: PD Shuppatsu Doubutsu Tankentai.
PSP
Simulation
A board game simulation that draws heavily on Japanese culture with traditional music and games. Progress on the board leads to mini game challenges.
PSP
RPG
Captures an ancient spirit of waterfalls, sunsets and plenty of swordsmanship. A beautiful world to explore, but the katana never stays sheathed for too long. Known as the Kingdom of Paradise in the West.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Available exclusively to members of the Square Enix community and of course Genki, this compilation includes some of gamings finest scores that really send a tingle down the spine right to the tips of your toughened gaming fingertips. Toe tapping tunes and stirring scores from Final Fantasy IV, Legend of Mana, Star Ocean and even a rare recording from the 97 Tokyo Game Show of Einhander.
PS2
RPG
Any game with such a healthy dose of ninjitsu can’t be bad as Naruto lays into an array of assailants often using their ninja skills to control puppets to attack him. Action RPG with emphasis firmly on the action side with it playing out like an episode from the immense anime. And the lush cel shaded look makes this appear closer to the anime than ever before. Splendid settings from caves, villages to waterfalls but often prime locales for a ninja ambush. The Versus Mode allows keen pugilists the opportunity to take on their least favoured opponent in a visually stunning scrap.
PS2
Action
Gothic Splendour meets Castlevania style Transylvania as our J Rock style hero slices up all and sundry in order to prevent being over whelmed. Stylishly executed both in terms of the gameplay and in terms of the hero’s actions.
Merchandise
Merchandise
One of the more unusual items that were available from Club Nintendo Japan for those who accumulated enough points. The parts of the puzzle revolve and the aim is to line up the different coloured gems in this tribute to an invention originally made by Gunpei Yokoi san before he turned his expert hand to video games.
Nintendo DS
Action
Club Nintendo exclusive but the ghost memberships were well worth the effort when playing this wee belter. Strangely expansive for a give away title (well for those with the required points) with atmospheric rain lashing down on the Goemon style towns through which our samurai be suited players stroll. Plenty of opportunities to test martial arts ability soon prevail with the mic being used to issue commands to your player such as kick or punch. Players can also transform into a lycra suited sentai with the feel of plenty of cheese and ham as in Ouendan as the over the top transformations take place. Multiplayer only for two or three players and players must work in true Wa harmony to beat the bad boss.
