Ep42 - Max The Max! Fighting With A Real Sword!

  • サマリー

  • A million Game Boy points (not redeemable in any known store) to the first person who can tell me what this week's episode title is in reference to. It's a real deep-cut, even if you are a wrestling fan (that might be a clue).

    First up is the irritatingly closed-off JRPG Jungle Wars. I didn't get very far with the language barrier, but wanted to feature it in some capacity nevertheless, as it looks quite nice and the bits I have translated have a certain charm to them.

    If not for game #3, the highlight of the week would go to this next awesome shoot-em-up - Aerostar. It's an autoscroller but you actually have to drive forwards yourself, not only blasting every moving thing but jumping between the scrolling platforms. A really unique take that is tough as nails but super-satisfying. Looks ace, too.

    Final Fantasy Adventure takes the series in a different direction to the 'Legend' games, by being a Zelda-ish hack-n-slash that was actually remade for the Game Boy Advance and became one of the Mana games. If you ever wanted a missing link between the 'Mana', 'SaGa' and 'Final Fantasy' RPG serieseses, this completes the threefold branch. The review portrays my thoughts more than I can here, so just listen.

    Finally, some wrasslin. Or more exactly, Puroresu. Shin Nippon: Toukon Sanjuushi is a really early game based on NJPW's rather awesome (if ageing) early Nineties roster.
