Good to have a blast on Acrobat Mission this week on the Super Famicom (in the interests of play testing of course!) 

Always nice to have a rummage around the Famicom bargain bins too: you never know what you'll find. 

A Pikachu Plush adds the finishing touch to any backpack ready to head off on an expedition. 

The Playstation dominates proceedings this week and its new arrivals section is in fine fettle with Twinbee RPG, Claymen Claymen 2, Justice Gakuen 2, Initial D, Choaniki, Thunder Storm and & Road Blasters and Marvel Super Heroes. 

Whilst the big brother PS2 launches a salvo back through the eternally youthful Metal Slug 3. 

Finally, fine hardware and curio's in the PS2 printer Popegg, Martial Beat for budding Jackie Chans and Para Para Paradise for those that don't live on the ground floor or have net curtains.

 

Bank of Sega

Genki Greetings.

PS4 and Switch shooters a plenty in this update with Cotton Rock and Roll and Death Smiles I II plus Raiden IV x Mikado for the PS4 and the quirky Illvelo Swamp + Radirgy Swag for the Switch.

Valis also makes a triumphant return to hold her sword aloft on the Switch.

The Piggy Bank of Sega is a delightful discovery for anyone who appreciated Service Games during the 90's and its touching that Sega hasn't forgotten its devoted fan base.


The Famicom has more new releases in Battletoads and Astro Ninja  Man DX, keeping it forever young.

 A plethora of delightful restocks such as Namco 50^th Anniversary Collection on the PS2, Hajime no Ippo on the GameBoy Advance, Actraiser on the Super Famicom, the AV Famicom, the PC Engine Duo R as Ultimate Tiger Heli continues to fly out (sorry.) Happy Genki Gaming. 

Console Wars Gaming Legions Amassed

The #SegaSaturn and #Dreamcast come to the fore this week to encircle the vast army of #Nintendo #Famicom and #SuperFamicom legions, well-marshalled by the #Gamecube Generals. The NEC #PCEngine games would no doubt be the hired guns.

Leading the charge on the Saturn are Cotton 2 & Dynamite Deka. An unruly bunch on the Dreamcast with an array of fighters that would take on any Dojo. Cart-only classics of Nosferatu, Smash TV, Splatterhouse, Samurai Pizza Cat, Cocoron & Fuzzical Fighter on the Famicom and SFC.
Happy Genki Gaming. Over and out.

Press the Switch

Rolling Gunner debuts in the new #Switch section at Genki. Our bugbear with Rolling Gunner is the difficulty in taking in the stunning, stainless steel mega bosses & seamlessly scrolling backgrounds in this super Switch side scrolling #shooter.

The soundtrack hits all the right notes too, inspiring players to keep blasting when it seems like every pixel is out to get you.

Hyper Steering V and the Compact Analogue Stick controllers are for the serious #Playstation try-hards.

#retrogaming

The lesser-spotted #Milestone Shooting Collection 2 appears on #NintendoWii import again. 

#Shmup

The #GameGearMicro Pins & Collection Box version is a delightful tribute to #Sega's handheld with Mickey Mouse on the original #GameGear showing off its pixel perfect graphics. 

#retrogaming 

The #Hori Game Repeater for the #Famicom is a real treasure chest of a curio we hadn't come across previously and couldn't resist. Repeater will record button presses so you can replicate the level played over again. A fine addition for the curio tinker. 

#Pokemon Card GB comes with a much-sought after #Kairyu collector's card which was only included with the #GameBoy game. Also known as #PokemonCard Trading Game.

#Contra Rogue Corps is worth a blast at that #PS4 price. 

A real blitz of run & gun action as the lady assistant talks players through tricky scenarios in the gritty environment. Shoot first, look for switches later. 

#konami

#MegaDrive boosts Verytex and ThunderFox plus the popular Ultracore re-release.

#RETROGAMING  

#Shubibinman Zero is another fine #ColumbusCircle release for the #SuperFamicom. 

#Gamers of a certain vintage feel their fingertips feeling alot less arthritic. Kaizou Chounin Shubibinman has fine hertige on the PC Engine-known as Shockman in the West.

Advanced Guardian Heroes is a must-have for the #GameBoyAdvance. One of the #Saturn's jewels in the crown with the #GBA conversion effortlessly throwing giant sprites around like Big Daddy and #Treasure's programming entering an even higher echelon.

Snowflake Software

https://www.genkivideogames.com/japanese_imported_video_games.asp?pagetoshow=newarrivals&dept=newarrivals

The 4 Players Adaptor is a rare peripheral for the #Famicom, perhaps lacking as many multi player mash ups as other formats. The Power Glove feels like it could be a prop from Back to the Future. 
The SGB Commander is a popular controller to play #GameBoy games on the #SuperGameBoy. 
The #MegaDriveMini has a fine roster of games making it well-worthwhile seeking out the Japan exclusive version. Whilst UltraCore keeps the original hardware running decades after its hey day. 
The #PCEngine gets brand new arrivals too, but alas only in condition. Still few collectors turn down the chance to snap up a brand new retro game, especially with Final Blaster leading the charge.
Ketsui Deathiny continues to be in demand as the most technically accomplished installment of the series to date on the #PS4. 
Retro Bit Generation 2 is a very tidy plug in and play console covering plenty of Japan centric titles which should bring a  sack load of festive cheer.  Titles from Athena, a dozen from master baker Capcom and sixteen from Coconuts Japan make up the bulk of these forty two pieces of gaming history that could give a lesson to some of today's snowflake software. Strider, 1942, Ghouls and Ghosts, Knights of the Round, Captain Commando, Sword Master, Biometal: the list of big hitters is superior to the World Series Baseball team sheet.
Happy Genki Gaming.

Sizzling Shooters and Mole Bashing

Sizzling Shooters back in stock (as Zzap Magazine would say) such as Raiden IV and Senko no Ronde 2 on the #XBox360 and Kokuga on the #3DS.
