BAKERU Game Review

Sep 8, 12:00 games

Particularly, a nostalgia for the Ganbare Goemon series and its Nintendo 64 installment, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. Which makes a lot of sense when one considers that BAKERU's dev...

While most of Anya's schemes go hilariously sideways, now is her time to shine. ― It's hard to go wrong with an Anya-centric storyline. As wonderful as it's been to get Loid's difficult past and to see Yor steal the spotlight, Anya remains one of Spy x Family's most endearing characters, as well as the one it's easiest to get an entertaining plot out of. She's the ultimate wild card, a little kid who...

novels

The Condemned Villainess Goes Back in Time is one of the better villainess light novel series to make it over. ― Villainess stories, whether in novel, manga, or anime format, all share a few basic truths, and one of them is that if the “villainess” turns out to be good, it must follow that the “heroine” is actually bad. Bakufu Narayama's The Condemned Villainess Goes Back in Time does use that genre ...

An overlooked ninja game, the death of the Visions of Mana studio, and a CAPCOM stalwart moves on to new pastures. ― Welcome back, folks! I had a nice experience this past weekend; I decided to visit my local GameStop to see if they had some titles I was looking for (I wanted Shadow of the Ninja Reborn and Gravity Circuit).

Shadow of the Ninja Reborn Game Review

games

Is Shadow of the Ninja Reborn a sharp remake of a semi-classic NES game? Or is it something much more? ― The original Shadow of the Ninja had its moment, but it wasn't very long. Critics and players rightly saw it as a well-crafted and harshly challenging side-scroller back in 1990, yet it arrived in the busiest time for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was rapidly swept aside without gaining se...
