Game #29 of the 50 Switch Games in 2024 complete! This was Arcade Archives: The Ninja Kids!

A cool old beat-em-up from Taito, this one has you playing as ninjas who look like marionettes for some reason!

It's fun though, and the first stage is a BANGER: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p1K...

HOOO

Known as TATSUJIN in Japan. Vertical scroller shooter. Based on the arcade coin-op from Taito in 1988.
Think I could complete this. That's saying something !!! 😆👍🎮

This was an unreleased Taito Arcade game from 1993. It is complete, and about 20 boards were made. 4 are in the hands of collectors and hence it has never been dumped onto MAME so sadly isn’t playable for most people. Sad because it looks incredible.

You probably already know this, but a trip to Japan is not complete without spending a few pointless hours at a Taito Station arcade playing coin games.

New video-Sega's "Yakuza" games have made the Japanese version of the mob a popular game theme, but in the 1990s Taito took a crack at it with a game loosely based on the 1980s mob film "The Untouchables" complete with a clever film-style presentation called "Dead Connection"

Psychic Force 2012 (1998) used a bespoke PC-based hardware called the Taito Wolf System (using 3dfx), later ported to DC and Windows, followed by a PS adaptation titled Psychic Force 2, and reissued on the PS2 Psychic Force Complete along with the exclusive Psychic Force 2012 EX arrange.

🎄𝐒𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧🎄 @segabassfisherman.bsky.social · Nov 11

Psychic Force 2012 released in the US 26 years ago! (11/10/99)

The sequel to the PS1 cult-classic is a 2D Fighting-Game with a focus of mobility and zoning - players can freely fly around in 8-directions, and fire a bevvy of long and mid-range attacks to keep their opponent at bay!
