Oh wow! Haven’t heard of this one before. Looks quite cool and fairly robust for the time! Pretty early attempt in the “Maker” genre too. Surprisingly ahead of its time. I can see why this never made it out of Japan, what with the traditional shooter being a dying/dead genre by this time outside of Japan, but it’s still a shame that it didn’t get the chance to garner a wider audience.

That’s Falcon Mk2 unlocked! Just Fighting Comet left to go now…

Looks like one of the characters you can recruit is currently bugged and it’s possible to lock yourself out of the ability to recruit them… Fortunately someone seems to have found a workaround here. Also, the PS5 version is locked into running at 1080p only and the Switch version seems to run really badly currently… Let’s hope those patches come in thick and fast.

Hey! This game’s good! Gonna have to pick it up myself

Hey look! Another arcade port! These are rare for the platform I swear!

Hey! At least it’s some sort of acknowledgement of their legacy. That’s always nice to see I wonder if it’s being outsourced…

Just the one highlight from me this week, but it’s a good ‘un… Fun night as always

The Suikoden series did indeed give you 108 playable characters to collect and battle with in each game; so this game is actually a downgrade by comparison

Here's another genuine arcade port, a rarity for the console. TBH though, this is a port that probably could've been better because it seems to have been ported from the PS1 port of the arcade PCB; and looks/runs more or less identically to the PS1 version. It also runs at a rock solid 60FPS, just like the PS1 version, another rarity for the N64. It lacks the FMV cutscenes of the PS1 version, instead sticking with the same real-time cutscenes as the arcade Zeus Board original. I've never played it myself, but it seems like a solid enough port that could've probably been better. A much more faithful and near perfect arcade conversion would later hit the Dreamcast as a launch title, under the moniker Mortal Kombat Gold.

Jesus... even Level 5's announcement showcases are chronically delayed... It's a miracle this company is even still alive at this point.

So… Antonblast is a ripoff of a ripoff? Neat.

Wow! Wayforward are busy! How are they pumping out so many titles!?

The goo was just too thick and viscous to fit through the May hole... August 2nd it is.

Just beat the first scenario… yeah, this game slaps. Great fun with the Joy-Con motion controls, I love how you can do feints with very slight movements of your wrists. It’s all just mad satisfying to play. The hit reaction sprites… Oh My Daze, the animations are riotously funny Yeah, it’s great

This looks stupid... I approve
