June exclusive #2 - NES Works Gaiden Epoch 09: Lupin III & Nebula
Added 2023-06-11 09:09:37 +0000 UTCSolid bonus episode this month. Since we've already seen a Lupin III game (way back in the early days of Game Boy Works), I don't need to go into detail on the background of this property as it makes its debut on Super Cassette Vision. Instead, I can focus in on the fact that, wow, there are two pretty solid titles for Super Cassette Vision here.
Lupin III is a simple but challenging scrolling runner game that feels charmingly authentic to the source material—a lot more so than that generic Game Boy game we saw ages ago. And Nebula is a satisfying redux of Astro Command for Cassette Vision, a take on the Scramble formula with enough difficulty and originality to make its existence worthwhile. In summary, this is why I embarked on this project in the first place: A chance to discover and play enjoyable, little-known games that totally sailed beneath the American radar.
