Before transitioning over to doing a Balan Wonderworld video, my original intention was to do a video on Yuji Naka’s Billy Hatcher. However, eventually it got put on the back burner so long that I don’t think it’s going to resurface anytime soon. I’d consider this script *mostly* complete. If you’d think this video would […]

Magic Fantasy is a really short side-scrolling action doujin game, taking a little less than 10 minutes to complete. With only four stages and one major gimmick, it may seem limited in what it can achieve. However, it impressed me quite a bit with its pacing. Each level basically has two phases. The first being […]

Red Dog: Superior Firepower kind of plopped into my lap. Around the end of the Dreamcast’s life I ended up getting the console and this title as a gift. I haven’t thought much about until recently. Otherwise it more or less just sat in my collection gathering dust. After finally playing through it, I can […]

Hello Neighbor is broken. That’s both a good and a bad thing. Its free-form puzzle design allows you to push the boundaries of its engine to come up with your own solutions. But its fragile structure will have you second guessing nearly every action. Your neighbor is a kidnapper. Each of the three acts has […]

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is sold on the back of 1989’s Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. The surface level mechanics and presentation are near identical. As a side project to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, it could have settled with being a simple tribute. Instead, it’s something much more. Similar to the classic Castlevanias that came […]

Mario Tennis Aces is far from the first time Mario has taken a racket in hand to the court. As someone who hasn’t touched the series in nearly two decades though, I was taken aback by how conservative it feels considering it features the plumber’s name. When you attach a franchise like Mario to a […]

In the Freedom Wars story, Kai Wolf Silva isn’t particularly notable. He’s an early character who offers some tutorial dialog, then largely becomes dedicated to optional flavor text. Yet here’s an unofficial fan book dedicated entirely to him. This book is largely a collection of art, manga and short stories that drag out the most […]

Penny-Punching Princess immediately distinguishes itself from just being an isometric brawler. Within the first battle, the player is presented with a calculator. Instead of punching your foe, you type in an amount to bribe them off. It’s a neat gimmick that becomes integral to both battles and the player’s progression. The princess is in deep […]

I’ve been a long time fan of the Wii. Initially it was because I was a Nintendo fan foaming at the mouth. But as I grew older during the Wii generation, I started liking the Wii specifically for its different takes on and unique implementations of certain genres. The design decisions made for the platform […]

Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm is a Dreamcast game that may seem like it has no relevance beyond its year of release. It’s the spiritual sequel to the 1998 PC exclusive, Die by the Sword, which offers free-ranged sword movement 20 years before The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. More importantly, the developer behind Draconus […]
