major_kerinaI wish I'd saved my receipt when I bought Retro Game Challenge @_@... - http://sorrytown.us/article/a-retro-game-challenge-challenge
Oh well, I got an addictively awesome game ^^. Also, the drat was for the fact another Gamecube game (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door) got an error for me with my Wii. I blew out the dust on the console and everything and hopefully it won't happen again. I find it happens when I leave the GCN disc in the Wii to start (my Wii is set vertical).
It's really cute. A lot of fun, very niche though but if you buy it and save your receipt...you can get a special thing made for free by this person.
Here's the gist.
You are turned into a kid and sent back by an Uber-Otaku to when he was a kid in the Famicom era of gaming. You befriend him as a kid. You play a series of games with little him and face challenges set forth by his future, floating-head self. The game includes all sorts of cheats and codes and secrets and such from that era of gaming. There are gaming magazines that show up every so often and have a lot of period-specific details. You have a sketchpad for jotting down notes for play. The games themselves are a mix. I wish there was more variety but I'm charmed by the set.
Games (all original throwback titles).
Cosmic Gate - a Galaxian-ish 64 stage top down shooter (Namco-Bandai made the game but XSEED released it here).
Karakuri Ninja Haguruman - Mario-ish Bubble Bobble platformer with some Megaman elements. You throw shuriken and turn doors and sometimes jump on heads to beat all the enemies.
Rally King - A kinda weak top-down racing game. But the challenges for it aren't too hard.
Star Prince - 1942 style shooter. Very detailed for the era and a lot of fun.
Rally King SP - A remix of Rally King. A bit annoying but I found it more fun than the original.
Karakuri Ninja Haguruman 2 - Another remix but much more effective because I found the original game quite fun.
Guardia Quest - Dragon Quest 1 type game. Very hard but quite long compared to the other games.
Karakuri Ninja Haguruman 3 - Probably the most compelling game. Also the most advanced in style. It plays a lot like I've seen of the old Ninja Gaiden with some Megaman style upgrades. Quite clever and actually my favorite aside from the shooters.
But the point is the sequel has more and even better games, so every fan of the first one wants to see it come to the US.
