Video Games Of The Week

Game of the Week Switch

Action

Always one of the most unlikeliest names for a video game hero, Earnest Evans Collection contains his a fore named game Earnest Evans from the Mega CD era, besides the seminal MD El Viento and the cult classic from the Mega CD Anett Futatabi. Telenet always had such devoted followers and these three titles demonstrate why.

Game of the Week Switch

Action

A huge license in Japan based on the classic manga. You play the role of Mr. Saeba – a bit of a Japanese bond, fond of both ladies and firearms. Good advise would be to keep em peeled for the helpful nurse on each level. Reminiscent of Rolling Thunder in parts. Brought back for the modern era thanks to a fabulous live-action film on Netflix.

Game of the Week Switch

Shoot Em Up

Much-cherished Milestone shoot ’em up gets a Switch reboot and there are Hitchcock overtones for this crow related shooter. Utilises power ups for the shot, sword and shield giving it a strategic element. Known as also ‘Crows’ and ‘Karous’.

Game of the Week Switch

platform

Includes the rare DS version Gallery of Labyrinth –  Gothic chic has never looked so good as Count Dracula tries with all his vim and vigour to rid himself and his mansion of the trespassing Belmont clan – even if protagonists Jonathan and Charlotte’s links to the Belmont ancestry are slim. Both players have a different skills set. Keeps true to the manuscript of the Castlevania tradition and those familiar with its whip cracking action will feel right at home in the spooky splendour of the Counts castle. Concessions are made to the modern gamer in being able to plough right through quickly, yet the seasoned vampire slayer will take their time to explore the plethora of in game secrets. Plus players can leap into paintings to take on off shoots from the castle with plenty of visual variety in this platformer set in WWII. The bosses mark a stunning return to form and show the Konami team to not be shy on eating cheese before bed. Another fine DS conversion in Castlevania Order of Ecclesia included too: Konami style alright – packed full with a bounty of varied levels and surprises all drawn in the most chic gothic fashion as the developers seem to have been hanging around the streets of Shinjuku with Gackt look a likes as much as Transylvanian castles. Plenty of innovative touches and a commendable blend of keeping true to the series traditions and bringing in new blood. Finally includes the arcade version of Castlevania: Akumajo Dracula Revisited, also known as Haunted Castle.

Demonstrating that video games can indeed be high art comes this mouse mat inspired by the Darius Gaiden series and its Silver Hawk Emblem.
Nintendo Hardware
Controller
A controller designed for one hand and for RPG’s, so presumably you could enjoy a nice cup of tea in the other hand or perhaps goomba juice: the choice drink of RPG gamers.
Nintendo Hardware
Handheld
Mini PocketStation style Pocket Sakura to add to the in game experience when used in conjunction with the Sakura Wars GB GameBoy Color title, displaying mini graphics of Asakusa, the Sakura characters and rickshaws.
Miscellaneous Hardware
Controller
Designed to be used on one on one fighters such as a certain Capcom title whose name escapes me. The unusual ergonomic design looks a bit bizarre, but it works a treat fitting snuggly and improving even Genki’s fight prowess and special move success rate.
GameBoy Original
Simulation
The ancient Japanese game of shougi comes to the GameBoy. Capture your opponents pieces by jumping over them. But be sure to think ahead to become a true master.
GameBoy Original
Sports
A fun adaptation of the manga and anime series that featured a mule that ran hard to get the better of thoroughbred rivals in order to try and buy back his mother who was sold. The galloping sequences are well made with Makibao running diagonally across teh screen, avoiding hazards as you sprint along.
Nintendo 64
Sports
Dynamite Soccer plays a quick fire, arcade style game with the ball pinging around in the midfield area. The sprightly mechanics make for a fine football engine with excitement generated from the quick fire action.
GameBoy Color
RPG
Wander the Sanrio world and build up your skills to fight the likes of hot jacket potato man. Imaginative characters, really well drawn to add to the charm of the game.
