Chris and I recorded a new episode of The MoeGamer Podcast today. It's going to be on the subject of beat 'em ups. We were going to talk about both retro and modern titles, but we spent so long talking about older games that we're going to save the modern talk for a future episode!
In preparation for editing tomorrow — and to save myself a bit of time — I've been recording a bunch of footage of the games we talked about this evening. It's been really interesting to play a bunch of these games in rapid succession and see how differently different games do things — and how experimental some of these games are. Sengoku on Neo Geo is really weird, for example — and I'm not 100% sure I like it — but Sengoku III on the same platform is a completely different beast — and I'm 100% sure I like that one!
It's been nice to revisit a few favourites and discover some new ones. Probably most notable in this latter regard is the Denjin Makai series, which Chris is all about and I'd never heard of. Now I have heard of it, however, I'm a big fan; it's exactly the sort of ridiculous I really like, and it has some fantastic playable characters to enjoy. I'll probably have to write something more substantial about these on MoeGamer when I've spent a bit more time with them and found out a bit more about them.
Anyway, it should be a good episode. Tomorrow is editing day… but with it being 2AM now, I should probably go to bed. Have a lovely weekend!
