new review up on shinobi: art of vengeance!

the first in sega's planned revival of several dormant IPs, it's quite a looker, and a lot fun to boot!... but it left me with a feeling of disappointment. is it still worthy of a recommendation?

the sega channel stuff is a miracle that it exists at all, but my eye was drawn towards the light crusader prototype

some initial poking around with the language settings leads to some funny results, although the warp not existing into the dungeon from the graveyard makes checking for more a pain

hark! #RandomGameSaturday approaches!

despite being (almost) a launch title for the wii, i'd venture to say elebits has one of the best implementations of wiimote waggling. the soundtrack ain't no slouch either!

this is a scientific study to scientifically conclude whether or not there are at least 12 different video games. i also dunno that many people on here so feel free to add a second stringer if you want

(no guarantees are made for completion but i don't drop games very easily)

beat "exile" on genesis, and uh

you're telling me this is a PC88/MSX2 port where a 12th century hard-drug using shia muslim assassin, who time traveled to kill the USSR secretary general and US president, now interferes with christian crusades to achieve world peace?

too bad the port isn't as cool

olay the real key to darius II / sagaia is to play as proco jr, i took no deaths until the final boss and was fully powered up shooting what must have been 40 projectiles every few frames very quickly

the jump start proco jr gets over tiat young is way more significant than it seems
