Posted on January 1, 2023January 1, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

According to Kotaku, last month, the co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, Yuji Naka, was arrested for purchasing shares in a development studio (Aiming) before its involvement in a Dragon Quest game was announced. Now, about a month later, he was arrested a second time for buying stock in a company that was set to work…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Sonic Generations

Posted on July 14, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Sonic 3-D games, for the most part, have sucked. Don’t get me wrong, I highly enjoyed Sonic Adventure back in 1999-2000, but that might be the only 3-D game in the franchise that I thought was any good. My son (who is 5 years old) loves Sonic, he loves Mario too (and has played dozens…

Bernie Stolar: The Legend, The No RPG Policy, And His Dreamcast Love

Posted on June 30, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Bernie Stolar passed away this week (at age 75). He is best remembered within the world of video games for his exploits as Sony Computer Entertainment of America’s Vice President during the PlayStation’s early days and as Sega’s President of the American branch during the late Saturn early Dreamcast era. He successfully laid the groundwork…

Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Dragon Force

Posted on June 29, 2022June 29, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

When we think about old classic turn-based Japanese Role-Playing games, Final Fantasy Tactics and the Shining Force series come to mind. A game that is not often mentioned, and it should be (mentioned) among those great titles, is Dragon Force.  Dragon Force is a tactical Sega RPG. It was published by Sega in Japan, but…

Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder on Arcade

Posted on June 26, 2022June 29, 2022 by Paul Cessna

There was a period in my life when my brothers and I competed heavily in fighting games. Street Fighter, Super Chinese Fighter, Tekken, and a few others kept us occupied for hours on end. When we eventually tired of battling each other, we often transitioned to playing co-op games. One game I remember playing significantly…

Games that Will Cost You a Kidney: Shining Force III

Posted on June 15, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The Sega Saturn is, at least to me, the most legendary of the 32/64-bit era machines. The reason? I didn’t own one, and I only know a single person who did. Furthermore, this person lost the console two decades ago.  As a JRPG fan, it was painful that the Sega Saturn was also the home…

TGIF: Which was the Largest “Next Gen” Console Leap?

Posted on June 3, 2022June 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I guess, if I asked someone the question of “what have been your favorite home console ‘next gen’ moments in any console generation?” The answer would be largely dependent on the age of the person being asked the question. To me, these special moments took place during the 32/64-bit era. The transition from 2-D to…

Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Skies of Arcadia 

Posted on May 9, 2022June 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The Dreamcast’s greatest Japanese role-playing game, and perhaps the best JRPG of the 2000s, is not as costly as other entries on this weekly series. However, purchasing a working copy (with case and booklets) of Skies of Arcadia remains a considerable investment in both of its versions.   Skies of Arcadia the Greatest JRPG of…

A few days ago, one of our readers and group members suggested that we should work on a section about retro games and the reasoning behind their high prices. We thought the idea was good. After all, as a JRPG focused site, we know all too well the growing pains of grabbing some genuine 32-bit…

The 10 Best Games of 1991 According to GameRankings

Posted on February 16, 2022March 3, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Last week, we listed the best games of the year 1990 according to GameRankings.com. That year was dominated by Sega Genesis arcade conversions. Today, we list 1991’s greatest games according to their critical average on the now defunct site.   This week the SNES takes over the listing, and that should not come as a…
