So I completely lost my faith in seeing a home release of the game.
PIKUNIKU STUBBORN LICENSE
The game appeared in Steam Greenlight years ago, and it was approved for release.īut then, an American company, impressed by the quality of the game, bought the license to release this as an exclusive arcade cabinet. One of the arcade sensations of 2017 when it was released in Steam, and praised by important sites such as Rock Paper Shotgun.įor a lot of time, one of my most anticipated games was ' Car Mechanic Flipper'.īasically, this was a crossover between something like ' Crazy Taxi' and a pinball game. I'm glad to see that his taste is always on point :)Īnd while I dislike the "marketing" strategy of having games in eternal fire sales to obtain visibility, kudos to QubicGames for releasing two superb arcade games, with the other one being the Switch port of ' One Strike'. The guy who designed this mode is a really talented person with a a great vision of each single element making of an arcade game a fun experience.Īlso, by using the search function, I find that the game was recommended by bytesized. Seriously, the idea of making of the sphere a transparent surface, so you can anticipate each movement with a 'Super Mario Galaxy' inspired layout, in combination with the jump button and an ultra-risky dash movement, is bananas. It combines with wisdom some simple but very clever ideas, to create a superb addictive score-attack game with a fantastic sound design that you can't stop playing. I don't know how is in its multiplayer part (and a lot of friends have recommend me this game as one of his favorite games to play with casual friends), but the single player score-attack part of ' Astro Bears Party' is one of the finest takes in the Snake formula that I have played.
PIKUNIKU STUBBORN MAC
IIRC, EA sports of all companies had Super Punch-Out (SNES) in one of their Gamecube fighting games to represent Little Mac being playable in that one. That being said, they aren't the first third party to port their own version of an Nintendo game.
PIKUNIKU STUBBORN SERIES
Akari was a fun 3DS eShop game from them, but the fact that all the ACA games reuse sound effects from that series of games in their menus make me wonder if my younger self would believe me if I somehow went back in time and said "hey, the company who made that super obscure hidden gem, Akari is gonna bring back Donkey Kong after a 20 year hiatus and also release an unpreserved version of Urban Champion, along with your favorite versions of Ice Climber and Clu Clu land!" I still am in disbelief that the company behind the Nikoli series (including Slitherlink, a game I bought way back in 2012 because I was looking for something to play only to immensely regret it) ended up being the ones to finally rerelease Nintendo Arcade games. One of my favorites companies this generation, they deserve to see his name written in video game history. Hamster are so good, that they deserve this level of confidence by Nintendo. Let's not forget that for the first time since the Philips CD-i, Nintendo has licensed his properties to be sold by a different publisher. So, seeing their passionate work, it's not a surprise that Nintendo has chosen them. They are not doing this for the money, but they are working for video game preservation.Ĭontrary to other companies, centering in the most late 80s and early 90s lineup with most impressive graphics, they have had the opposite approach: of curating obscure early 80s games.ĭamn, they even had a collection in Playstation Vita, releasing ports of early 2000s Japanese mobile games from companies like Nippon Ichi.
Because even the most obscure releases are still pieces of video game history.Īlso, I don't think that Hamster has the urgency of releasing games to not lose sales with the online subscription classic lineup. I think that the Nintendo approach is the way to go, it doesn't matter if we're talking of obscure release.
PIKUNIKU STUBBORN PS4
Seeing things like the atrocious input lag in the first 'Mega Man Legacy Collection' by Capcom, seeing things like the recent Mega Drive collection for Steam, PS4 and XB1 with an inaccurate sound emulation.
Indeed, I wish that all the companies had the same approach. Nothing wrong with the skyrocketed quality control of Nintendo regarding its classic lineup.
