Trying out Pikmin for the first time [ENG/ESP]

At this point you are probably familiar with what Pikmin is, either by the games themselves or by Smash Bros: You control this small captain that finds these plant things named Pikmin, and you have to

Mega Man Zero - When the red maverick hunter went portable in a new world [ENG/ESP]

Mega Man Zero is a pretty interesting departure from other games back when it was made in many ways: Art style, chronological setting and story, and even some changes in the gameplay formula seen in Mega

Einhander - Square's surprisingly good yet fierce PS1 shoot-em-up [ENG/ESP]

Interesting to think that, at one point, Square [back then Squaresoft], now mainly known for Final Fantasy, tried their hand into making a shoot em up game...and despite being their first and only time

Ghost in the Shell on the PS1 - Piloting a surprisingly mobile mech over missions [ENG/ESP]

I'm not sure if this thing would count as a mech because it isn't built like a robot, but it sure doesn't feel like it deserves to just be called a vehicle when it can jump and climb up walls and ceilings

First Impressions with Split/Second - High-speed racing on roads where everything explodes [ENG/ESP]

If the golden era of Need for Speed games like Underground and Most Wanted invoke the feeling of racing in early Fast and Furious movies, then Split/Second could be comparable to later Fast and Furious

Punch Out (Wii) - Reviving a classic boxing game with extra effort [ENG/ESP]

Well, I finally got a good chance to sit down and play this one after a long while. Think that's all there is for backstory from me about this game. Punch Out for the Nintendo Wii was one of those surprise

Custom Battler Bomberman: The Bomberman game for DS that exclusive to Japan and Europe [ENG/ESP]

And a bit confusingly due to the existence of Bomberman II on the NES, is also known as Bomberman 2 I'm Europe, as Custom Battler Bomberman is the Japanese name. Yes, if you happened to play the first

Virtual-On Marz - Story of one mecha pilot against an entire army of enemies [ENG/ESP]

This is most certainly not a game you'd usually hear of anywhere, let alone when SEGA has basically all but buried Virtual-On's name internationally outside of the Kiwami 2 port, as the PS4 collection

Trying out Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage - The latest re-release of a decade old fighter [ENG/ESP]

Well, there were a few free-to-play days not too long ago on Steam, so I got to try out the game that had eluded me for so long: The first PC release of a Virtua Fighter since the NINETIES with VF2, and

Nirin - Namco's stylish yet forgotten street bike arcade racer [ENG/ESP]

Well, let's get to the chase. Yet another arcade racer that lived on my head but turns out to be fairly obscure, this one used to be at the local arcade many years ago at the mall, but as that got closed

Trying out Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii thanks to a Xbox Game Pass giveaway [ENG/ESP]

It is what it says on the tin. If you haven't heard of it yet, there's been a collaboration between Xbox and Webtoon where, if you read all 5 episodes of Sea of Thieves The Last Bite [I did it on the phone

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games [NDS] - An adventure mode awaits in a minigame collection? [ENG/ESP]

You know, it had been over a decade since the last time I thought about this specific game, let alone actually play it, as I used to play it back when I had an R4 Flashcart and a functional Nintendo DS

While I don't have as much to complain on and on like with some aspects of the FNAF2 movie from last time, the title may have given away one of the key things that stuck out from this movie to me. I haven't

Cybertroopers Virtual-On - Revisiting the revolutionary mecha fighting classic [ENG/ESP]

Well, I had to talk about this one someday, more so when I used to be obsessed with this game [and its sequel] several years ago. The version I'm using for the screenshots is the Japan-only PS2 SEGA AGES

Starting Metal Gear Solid on the PS1 - Taking knowledge from new to the old [ENG/ESP]
