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.

Video System have remained true to the sport in this fine conversion featuring Nigel Mansell. The cars can be tweaked and the overhead perspective works a treat.

DVD
Plenty of in depth insight into Shiren and Grandia II, besides Jet Set Radio, Dino Crisis 2, Dead or Alive 2 and Silpheed-a total; of 58 games featured.

Starring a special feature on Mario 64 and Mario Story with them due to be releases imminently at the time besides an in depth look at Zelda Majora’s Mask, interviews and 53 titles covered in all.
GameBoy Advance
Simulation
Plenty of speed lines and visual pyrotechnics to portray the mech on mech mayhem as the tension cranks up. The players avatars frequently appear too reminding us of the people in control of these massive hulks of steel. Lovely pastel look to the backgrounds and very cute SD representations to the mecha of the Gundam universe.    
GameBoy Color
Sports
A fine golf game in its own right with Nintendo’s usual polish as the character shot screen switches seamlessly to the overhead ball progress before the celebratory avatar on putting the ball. But this package also features the now defunct Mobile System GB to allow players to remotely play each other via a connection through the supplied adaptor to a mobile phone. And Nintendo being Nintendo, also comes with mobile trainer cart to help get you set up.
Preorder Switch
Shoot Em Up
Vertical scrolling shooter Shikigami returns with a vengeance as players are rewarded for dicing with death in the onscreen insanity. Ten characters with unique power ups add to the variety and beat back any criticism of previous incarnations like a barrage of shots being flicked away. Plus its possible to change character mid stage to ensure the abilities of each fighter are put to the full use. It may just be better to go for the two player co-operative mode though. Keeps the player characters on screen in place of ships adding to the interest in choosing a player and keeps the magic of the Shikigami legend moving. Very much sort after on the Wii – big in Japan.
GameBoy Color
Action
A very respectable license game based on the world of Harry Potter as he explores the impressive 3D world building up experience and spells all building up to a run in with you know who. Great use of the GameBoy Colour’s palette and chip tunes.  
GameBoy Original
Action
Makes ace use of the monochrome screen as players bound the platforms clearing away the Bero men baddies with a tactical comb or two in order to clear the level and progress. Much sort after due to being released in a collectable tin, as opposed to a card box.
