Kid Fenris: May 2015
http://www.kidfenris.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Five Amiibo I Would Buy. The Amiibo craze isn’t quite as insane as the Star Wars frenzies of the late 1990s, but it’s approaching that critical mass. And, as with all waves of consumer hysteria, it’s fun to sit back and watch. Have I bought any Amiibo figures? 5 MAVDA FROM PANDORA’S TOWER. Is the darkest thing to come out of Nintendo since the finale of Mother 3. True, Nintendo only funded and co-produced Pandora’s Tower. And he and Mavda would make the most delightfully unorthodox Amiibo. One of the str...

Kid Fenris: July 2015

Rygarfield: The Third Impact. I realize that I let Rygarfield. Fall behind schedule, as I've made only two strips in fifteen months. I’m not worried, though. All of the best webcomics and many of the terrible ones go on long, largely unexcused hiatuses, so it’s only natural that Rygarfield. Reflect its medium. And I think the third strip is the best yet! Abysmal webcomics aside, making Rygarfield. Led me to appreciate the NES version of Rygar. More to the point, Rygar. I’m surprised that Rygar. Lands its...

Kid Fenris: The Lunar II That Almost Was
http://www.kidfenris.com/2011/01/lunar-ii-that-almost-was.html
The Lunar II That Almost Was. I prefer Lunar II: Eternal Blue. To the original Lunar: The Silver Star. I could attribute this to playing Eternal Blue. First, which made The Silver Star. Seem repetitive. Yet Eternal Blue. Is also a shade less cliché, with better character development and an ending that cruelly toys with the player. It’s the more interesting of the two RPGs, and the same goes for its unused ideas. Was originally going to carry over. The cast of The Silver Star. Leo still went through more ...

Kid Fenris: A Demo Demo Dilemma
http://www.kidfenris.com/2015/02/a-demo-demo-dilemma.html
A Demo Demo Dilemma. I discussed the Demo Demo PlayStation series here before, partly because it has the only publicly released bit of Bounty Arms. At one of their cover comics, and I now present their first appearance, which comes on the only Demo Demo PlayStation disc I still own. Through no coincidence, it’s the one with the Bounty Arms. I guessed wildly and incorrectly when I summarized a Demo Demo comic before, so I’ll translate it here. Neither character has a name as far as I can tell, a...Wow, th...

Kid Fenris: Demo Demo PlayStation Predicts the Future
http://www.kidfenris.com/2010/04/demo-demo-playstation-predicts-future.html
Demo Demo PlayStation Predicts the Future. Sony’s Demo Demo PlayStation. Series is less than a footnote in the system’s history. They’re very similar to the Play Play. Demo discs that were mailed to new PlayStation owners across Japan starting in 1995, as Demo Demo. Volumes are also loaded with promotional videos and playable previews. Unlike Play Play. I'll remember Demo Demo PlayStation. Mostly for including a playable version of Bounty Arms. Volumes are bare-bones compared to the Play Play. If this we...

Kid Fenris: June 2015
http://www.kidfenris.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A Lack of Lunar, Elucidated. The first two Lunar games remain cases of RPG clichés done unimpeachably right. They button up every little part of the genre that grew old during the early 1990s, but they do it all with exceptional artwork, grand music, likeable characters, and cinematic aplomb (oh, and goofball Working Designs localizations that I still find irresistible). That’s especially true of the second game, Lunar II: Eternal Blue. And you can quote me on the box. The original Lunar: The Silver Star.

Kid Fenris: January 2015
http://www.kidfenris.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Hmm That’s pretty lean for an entry, so I’ll explain something else: the name Kid Fenris. It’s a play on Kid Icarus. The old Nintendo game. For those unfamiliar, Kid Icarus. Is a staple of the early NES library, an action-adventure game that stars a plucky, heroic version of Icarus. In Greek myth Icarus flew too near the sun and became an avatar of overconfidence, and Nintendo just made him a little archer who saved a goddess from the clutches of Medusa. He also appeared in the Captain N. I thought it...

The Gay Gamer: It's just a little Crush (Roller)
http://www.thegaygamer.com/2013/12/its-just-a-little-crush-roller-neo-geo-pocket-color.html
Friday, December 06, 2013. It's just a little Crush (Roller). If you were to corner the 20 people in the Western world who've played ADK's Crush Roller. And ask them to describe it, at least 19 would include " Pac-Man. Clone" in their response. There's a good reason for that, of course- Crush Roller. Is awfully similar to Namco's classic quarter-muncher in terms of gameplay. (Both titles have players race through single-screen, maze-like stages while avoiding ghost-like baddies.). Was selling it for a me...
