Treasure's 30th Anniversary - My Predictions

Japanese game developer Treasure just had its 30th anniversary on June 19th. They've announced that they are releasing some sort of "highly requested title". This will be their first game since 2014's Gaist Crusher God. What could it be?

My first guess is that the new title will be a Gunstar Heroes game. I actually don't have a particularly strong connection with Treasure, but Gunstar Heroes seems to be the fan-favorite. Another strong contender is Ikaruga. Either of these is a likely guess! My personal favorite Treasure game is Mischief Makers, so I'd love to see another one of those. Also, my first Treasure game was the relatively obscure Light Crusader, which was also the first RPG I ever played. Lastly, Sin & Punishment has recently received some new eyes on it thanks to being a part of the Nintendo Switch Expansion Pack. This is another game I really like by them, though it's one I've only played in recent years!

Based on the tweet from Treasure themselves, there is no real info here, so we will really have to wait and see. It's possible this could even just be a remaster of sorts instead of an entirely new game. I'll be fine with anything that isn't Wario World!

The Slightly Fabricated Story of How Nintendo Conquered America

I finished a book called Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America  at the end of February. I expected good things from it. I expected a breezy but analytical approach to Nintendo and Mario's history. I got something that sails with a heavy anchor and a damaged rudder. First things first: the cover art is pretty cool. It's minimal, but I like the blue color and the little Mario jumping above the title. It's like he can leap over any obstacle! Unfortunately, the text is not free of such things. At under 300 pages,  Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America  goes for a brief history of Nintendo through the years. Each chapter is themed around a console, peripheral, or major event. It was nice to see the whole history, from hanafuda to Wii, the latest console at the time of publishing, however, I wish that Jeff Ryan, the author, had covered a bit more topics and more thoroughly. Even adding a few pages to each chapter could have added a lot more inf...

PlayStation Basement #49 - RayStorm

This review was originally published on the Console Purist Facebook group on August 3rd, 2019. The initial review missed the paragraph about the game's sound design, but it has been re-added here. Good evening and welcome to another PlayStation Basement! PlayStation Basement runs every Saturday with a review of an obscure or odd game for PS1. I don't like numerical reviews too much, so the games are rated Good, Neutral, or Bad. Let's go! Thinking about the anniversary of Apollo 11, today we're talking about RayStorm (aka Layer Section II ), an epic shmup from Taito. A sequel of sorts to 1994's RayForce / Galactic Attack (the games share the same gameplay but have a seemingly unrelated storyline), RayStorm was released to arcades in 1996. It was ported to the PlayStation January, June, and September of 1997 in Japan, North America, and Europe respectively. The excellent Working Designs did the North American port under their Spaz label. RayStorm was also re...

PlayStation Basement #27 - Lightning Legend: Daigo no Daibouken

This review was originally published on the  Console Purist  Facebook group on March 2nd, 2019. It has been edited slightly for formatting. Spring will be here soon in the United States, and yesterday was National Pig Day. I intended to review a pig-related game today called Butage de Iin Janai? . Unfortunately, this Monster Rancher -style simulation game proved beyond me in terms of navigating menus of Japanese text without a guide. Still, PlayStation Basement carries on. As with every Saturday, I’ll be reviewing an odd or obscure game for the original PlayStation. My reviews are intended to de-emphasize the standard point system you see in a lot of video game reviews, so I use a nine-point scale where 9-7 is Good, 6-4 is Neutral, and 3-1 is Bad. The emphasis is on the word used, not so much the number. This week, I present to you Lightning Legend: Daigo no Daibouken  or Lightning Legend: Daigo’s Great Adventure . This is a 3D fighting game with anime/manga-st...
