Video Games Of The Week
Game of the Week Switch
Shoot Em Up
Switch update of the Playstation classic with 70’s Robot Anime Geppy X gets the shmup treatment and what a treat it is for shooter heads and anime fans with each of the eight episodes being a small chapter in the story with anime introduction, closing sequences and even some bonus material complete with superb voice acting. Captures the retro feel of the source anime very well with a nostalgic feel to proceedings and chunky feel to the robot controls. Horizontally scrolling with a directional switch button and big, bold sprites. Also taking a hit stops your energy bar charging up for a super shot in a nod to the hardcore shmup fraternity.
£66.99
Game of the Week Switch
Shoot Em Up
Gameplay has a tactical nature with the ability to use three different orbs. Ginormous bosses worked the original version to near meltdown, especially the mode 7 capacity, but both the 2D or optional 3D sprites and polygons are chucked around screen effortlessly here. Not for the weak willed, R-Type has old school difficulty to match its gameplay. But its ace to know many more can now know its charms.

Game of the Week Switch
Platform
A dream compilation for Genki as we idolise the Mystical Ninja and this mighty compendium contains thirteen of Goemon’s back catalogue to celebrate the series’ fortieth anniversary. So much gaming joy on one tiny cart and with so many titles, there’s a good chance many will savour at least a few of them for the first time. Brings a tear to the eye!
£39.99
Game of the Week Super Famicom
Platform
Factor 5 developed the original run and gun platformer that represented the finest of European game design, here all packaged up in an exquisite piece of box art for those who never sampled the highly-desired original release. The sound was optimised to the Super Famicom’s architecture using Dolby Surround. Gameplay wise it remains a treat with inspiration taken from parts one and two along with Mega Turrican making this like a hybrid remix.

Shoot Em Up
Taking the original Reboot that sought authenticity to the original and cutting a bit loose on the broomstick with a new character, extra multipliers, graphical shift and the highly amusing enemy capture adding much hilarity. Gaming veterans Beep reveal their retro tattoos and it’s a young witch on a broomstick. A fine series to go back to, especially such a relatively unknown version.

Super Famicom
Sports
High velocity, isometric boat race game, known as Super Kyoutei in Japan, where players whip round the sea based course with buoys that need to be avoided. Good fun and sereving of wider recognition.
Gamecube
RPG
This online simulation card battle game features over 400 types of cards, including enemies and items from the PSO series.
PS4
Shoot Em Up
Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2 and Raiden Fighters Jet make up the trio of this compilation that goes in all guns blazing and takes no prisoners. The soundtrack is relentless, the in game characters given a millennial make over, yet veteran gamers may fear not as the action remains true to its pure adrenalin roots. Some may even be tempted to take advantage of the different play modes to flip back through a particularly turbulent section. A fine tribute to a much-loved series.
