Here are some of my recent purchases, ready for the festive
season!
Razion MVS Gamecenter
Kit Shockbox LE # 511
I love horizontal shooters and I’m really looking forward to
playing the latest release from NG:DEV.TEAM.
SNK VS. CAPCOM: SVC CHAOS Kit
I recently picked this up on
Yahoo Japan. It was a bit of an impulse purchase really, I
put on a low bid and ended up winning it.
The game certainly divides opinion, including my own! I was immensely excited when rumours of its
release started to circulate, the thought of seeing Capcom characters on Neo
Geo hardware was awesome. However the
game was finally released and received a mixed reception. I think this jaded my enthusiasm for the
game. I played the game for the first
time during shore leave in Japan. It was a small arcade with a few Astro City’s,
I can’t even remember what town it was in.
First impressions weren’t great. I
found the game a bit dull and not much fun.
Well since then I’ve changed my opinion.
The character roster is excellent, although it would have been nice to
have a bit more variety on the Capcom side.
Initially I wasn’t impressed by the art style, particularly the desolate
backgrounds, but it’s really grown on me.
I was expecting more fan service with references to Capcom / SNK titles,
however the bleak tone gives the game a unique look. The music suits the backgrounds and the
Capcom sprites are awesome. Who ever
thought we would see Hugo on the Neo? The
game isn’t perfect, but I’ve been having a lot of fun with it and it’s awesome
it exists.
Darius Odyssey Kōshiki
Settei Shiryōshū Official Japanese Art Book
A
very cool book featuring lots of nice art from the series.
Splatterhouse Pop and Bokuno Game Center
Vol. 2 - Astro City featuring Fighting Vipers
I’m really pleased to finally get hold of a Splatterhouse
pop after being outbid so many times.
Takara Transformers
Sentinel Mega Drive Megatron
What an awesome idea, a Mega
Drive Megatron transformer! Or “Fully
Transformable Antagonistic Videogame Console” as it says on the box.
