Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is a surprisingly approachable fighting game that isn’t as convoluted as heavy hitters like BlazBlue or Street Fighter, but it has considerably more depth than something like Super Smash Bros.
We’re onto the final 2 Sonic fangames of NCFC 2015! Check out our video reviews of both Zonic 4 My New Life Turbo HD Remastered Edition and Sonic DL Adventure below:
NCFC 2015 is now over, but you can still download all the games from the event by going to the NCFC homepage. If you missed yesterday’s coverage of the other 3 Sonic fangames at the event then click here.
The latest Sonic mobile title is a 2D endless runner, similar in scope to Pac-Man Dash and Rayman: Jungle Run. Sonic automatically runs through a Windy Hill-styled stage and you have to tap the screen to make him jump. That’s all there is to it.
1990’s Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse was an early hit for the Mega Drive. The SEGA-developed platformer was an excellent little game full of beautiful scenarios, smart level design and tight controls and it was gently dipped in that lovely, Disney goo that makes the experience all the more magical. A sequel was inevitable and the next two years saw Castle of Illusion making its way to Master System and Game Gear. An original sequel for the 8 bit consoles came in the form of Land of Illusion and then things came full circle with another Mega Drive game in the form of World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (that title is quite a mouthful).
The final Streets of Rage game is a polarising one. While the first two games in the series are universally praised as classic beat-em-ups, the third game just doesn’t get the same amount of love. This might be because depending on whether you’re playing a Japanese or a Western version of the game you’re in for a quite a different experience.
Another retro review! Today we’re tackling the Mega Drive port of perennial AM2 arcade classic After Burner II. Can the Mega Drive handle a faithful port of a game made for the slightly more powerful SEGA X Board?
Alien Storm is an often ignored entry in SEGA’s beat-em-up history for reasons that aren’t particularly clear. Did the humour put off the die-hard SEGA fanbase? Were SEGA fans simply not interested in anything that wasn’t Streets of Rage or Golden Axe? Who knows. Regardless, we think it’s a game you should check out and now we have a review explaining exactly why we think it’s worth your time.
Snatcher marks Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima’s second time as a video game director. The game was originally released in 1988 and was remastered and translated into English only once. The English language version of Snatcher appeared on the Mega-CD in 1994 and since Kojima’s breakout success with Metal Gear Solid, the game is become a highly sought-after title.
We love our shmups at SEGADriven and we’ve recently been playing quite a few on the Mega Drive. For today’s review we’ve decided to take a look at World War II-themed shooter Fire Mustang, a game that never made it out of Japan.
The Sonic Show is 8 years old this year. That’s a long time to be running a Sonic-centric video series. Originally hosted on its own website, it now operates exclusively out of YouTube. To celebrate this milestone the show is releasing its first collection exclusive music and it’s called The Complete Mess Collection which to be frank is quite fitting.
