Dizzy and the Other Side is an entirely free, fan made, sequel in the once popular “Dizzy” games series. The gameplay should be very familiar for anyone who’s played a Dizzy game in the past. You’ll jump and roll your way through a sort of 2d open world environment, solving puzzles and interacting with the other egg people. The story in this game revolves around Dizzy’s quest to retrieve an artifact for a quasi-evil wizard who’s blackmailing him. It’s a light hearted affair.
Since we featured Iji as the #1 game in our September indie roundup video we thought it would be a good idea to post a full review here as well. Obviously if you’ve seen the video you know we really liked the game. Here’s why.
Get equipped…with retro greatness!
Before the nuts-and-bolts review, first a story that old school Megaman gamers will appreciate.
In anticipation of Megaman 9’s release, I blew through MM2 and MM3 the week before. Despite the fact that I hadn’t played them in years, I completed them without much effort. Shocking for me, since when I was younger, they both caused me great angst, cursing, and controller throwing. And yet, here I am, crushing both of them with the expertise of a speed runner. I was worried; was Megaman truly not the great challenge I once thought it to be? And will the same translate into the 9th edition? My fears really became heightened when I first began playing Megaman 9. I began with Galaxy Man’s stage, since I had heard through the grapevine that he was the “first” boss that should be conquered. I sped through the stage and downed Galaxy Man on the first try. Without losing a single life. Now I had real doubts about the “challenge” that MM9 was going to deliver.
The intro to the new Mega Man game has just been released on Game Trailers, while it looks like it will be a great throwback to the NES days of gaming it’ll be interesting to see how it holds up against critical pressure.
Will critics decide Capcom were lazy using retro graphics and recycled bosses or praise it for its boldness.
Intro after the break.
In a recent interview Hironobu Takeshita, the producer of Capcom’s Mega Man 9, revealed a few more details about the upcoming retro revamp for Wiiware, Live and PSN.
First of all, the game is being co-developed with independent studio “Inti Creates” which is largely comprised of former Capcom employees. They are mostly known for their work on the Mega Man Zero and ZX games and a few staffers were even involved with the early NES games. Take a look at their delightfully Japanese website for what we can only assume are staff profiles, directions to the studio itself and some awesome anime style artwork.
With The Dark Knight coming out this week I couldn’t help but replay all the old Batman games in anticipation, although most of the Batman games are utter rubbish there are a few gems among them, and these are the top 5.
This article was originally going to be another top 5 but I couldn’t get the list down to 5, thus these are the top 6 RPGs to be released on the SNES.
To start of the weekly Retro features here are the top 5 best NES RPGs to be released.
