Ep37 - Having To Come Up With Episode Titles Sucks

  • Summary

  • Another mixed bag this week - will we ever get a show with five absolute stonkers all at once? Probably not.

    Highlights include another JP-exclusive strategy game - Super Robot Taisen started off a series that is still going on today, and features a bunch of those Gundam / Mazinger / Kamen type mecha dudes. It's really good, though, if not quite up to the heights set by Little Master last week.

    Sumo Fighter is one of those that's inexplicably sought after. It's a generic platformer that fetches high prices simply because it didn't sell very well and so there aren't too many copies around.

    Mini-Putt could've been great fun but... well, it isn't.

    Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 2 advances on the original a bit, but with tacked-on longevity of having to enter cupboards to get the keys rather than them being on the actual level. It was also re-released about a kajillion times with various mascots.

    The treat this week (for soccer fans, anyway) is the absolute blast that kicked off the Kunio-kun-style sports games that Japan got a load of later on. Nintendo World Cup is the most fun you could have with a football title on the Game Boy, until Sensible Soccer came out, that is.
