YD, you are dead to me.
Really? Oh, well in that case, kingoffighters can play this with his crappy dog and skip the RPG part.

You can't skip the RPG unless you don't want to unlock the last game. Also for the story mode you're given specific challenges to complete in each game, like: "make it to such and such level without warping"- they're pretty simple and I think are intended to be tutorials before you play through the games normally, but if you don't know what they are it would be easy to get stuck.There are also Gamefan magazines that come out with articles,reviews and tips on how to beat the games as well as konami-code type tricks, and the games also all have unique in-game manuals to read. One of the kids on the bottom screen also talks to you during gameplay. It all seems to be designed around playing off of nostalgia so if you can't understand japanese you'd be missing out on a lot.
There's also another version of Rally King with a fake sponsor called: "Rally King SP: Chicken Ramen Cup Edition!"Yeah, I love the idea of how they seem like retro games, but are totally new. (And as mentioned, love how one game already has a sequel.)
Ahahahhaha. I kid, I kid. I bet that's an awesome dog.Originally Posted by kingoffighters
Hehe, no sweat. Turns out you are right about moon speak after all. Thanks Rezo.

Aww that sounds awesome.
So it's totally not coming out here then.

does the other kid try to grab the controller out of your hand 'cause you're "playing the game wrong?"
This sounds pretty cool... I may have to look into it.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
Throat punch: the musical
Been spending the past few weeks unlocking games, manufactured nostalgia is a interesting genre. A rundown of the games:
Cosmic Gate: Basically Galga, no surprise given it's made by Namco. Probably the most basic game, likely attributed to it's "release" in 1984. Does a few unique things, grab a powerup and you can shot through entire rows for bonus points. Also as enemies fly in you can tag a blinking enemy (and ONLY that enemy) to trigger warps that can be shot to jump ahead.
Haguruman: Cute little wrap-around platformer ala Mappy or Ninja Jajamuru. Your character and enemies are all clockwork ninja types, you can jump on enemies, stun them with ninja stars, or crush them behind doors. Bit basic too but not bad.
Rally King: Overhead rally game with a cool little drift mechanic. Slide for 2 seconds and you'll perform a nitro boost. Would have been a great little racer back in the day.
Star Prince: Probably my favorite. A complete rip-off of Star Soldier, the various mini-bosses even look like the Brains from Star. Holding the fire button will give you a shield, in another nod to Hudson there's plenty of caravan style ground clutter to destroy for points. Unfortunately it loops after the 4th stage and there's only one boss type except the stage 4 and 8 boss.
Rally King SP: As Rezo mentioned the game is covered in ads for a Ramen company, otherwise it's the exact same game. Greatest or cheapest joke ever, your call.
Haguruman 2: I like the progression here. Like Megaman 2 to 1 and Castlevania 3 to 1, the second Haguruman is still on limited 8 bit hardware but shows more personality due to better level tiling, color, and music. Power ups are easier to use and there's more enemies as well. Enjoy this quite a bit.
Haguruman 3: Apparently this is a completely new game from the ground up with cues from Ninja Gaiden. Looks good but the RPG comes first and I still haven't tried to tackle it.
Overall it's a unique collection, enjoyable but some of the games feel just shy of their full potential. *-neo

Isn't this game a TV show tie in? For that show where the guy in a lab coat plays various famicom/older games and sort of reviews them.
If thats the case, I doubt it would get a US release.
Barf! Barf! Barf!
