Japan's Nintendo Direct.....:(


Posted on 06/01/2015 at 07:14 AM | Filed Under Blogs

Well the things I was interested in was the Dr. Mario collection, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Academy, and the new Chibi Roboo 2-D platformer (complete with Chibi Robo amiibo!  EEEEE!!!).  I also liked the new info on Yoshi's Woolly World.  That Monster Hunter kitty game looks cute, too.  I think that's the only way you'll get me to play a Monster Hunter game.  I guess it's pretty sad that I'm a full grown man that is only interested in cute games.

Retro Game of the Week: Kid Dracula


Posted on 05/30/2015 at 11:05 AM | Filed Under Blogs

Kid Dracula is more closely related to Castlevania than you think!  It's basically the Parodius of the Castlevania series.  The first level song is a cute remix of the stage one theme from Castlevania 3, for instance.  And Kid Dracula himself is 'supposed' to be Alucard as a boy.

The Game Boy game is actually a sequel to the Kid Dracula game on Famicom.  It's a shame they never brought it to the NES, but they'd have to do some editing (check out the first level boss).  I guess it was just easier to edit the GB game?

I love how you can play as Kid Dracula in some of the Parodius games.  He also makes cameos in other Konami titles like the DS Track & Field game.  I wish Kid Dracula could make a comeback, but with the way things are at Konami right now, that seems very unlikely.

Yeah a lot of them are good and can make their videos look easy to do, but I bet it's a lot harder than we think!

Oh I really liked the games on the PSOne Konami Collection. Circus Charlie, Time PIlot, Kicker, Gyruss.  Lots of good stuff!  I have the Gradius Collection on PSP and I imported the Parodius, Twinbee, and Salamander collections, too.  They're all good.  Konami really did support the Wii a lot.  I downloaded their Gradius Rebirth game.

Super Swing Golf is actually based on Pangya, an online PC golf game.  Tecmo published it so one of the Wii Super Swing Golf games has costumes based on their other Tecmo characters, like Kasumi and Bomb Jack.

I like 80's music.  Guilty pleasure of mine.

The Tower of Druaga may just look like a simple maze game, but it has a lot more history than you might realize.  The story is VERY loosely based on one of the oldest pieces of literature: The Epic of Gilgamesh.  It had an arcade sequel called The Return of Ishtar and a prequel on the Famicom called The Quest of Ki.  Many Namco games make reference to Druaga, including puzzlers like Mr. Driller: Drill Land, and RPGs like Tales of Destiny.  A few years ago, there was even a Druaga anime!

I love classic arcade collections and really miss them.  The five Namco Museum volumes collectively are one of my top five favorite games of all time.  Konami did have a classic collection on PSOne and GBA.  The imaginary Square collection better have Brave Fencer Musashi on it (and ActRaiser since Enix is a part of them now).

Yeah that would stink if Nintendo released a Picross game at the same time as you.  At least you could say the puzzles are different.

There's not really a Picross game on the Wii U right now, is there?  That'll be cool to have one on it.  And the game is certainly educational, I'll be playing that up when I write my review of it for GamerDad!
