Just wanted to say thanks for the many excellent articles in Nintendo Power. Your and the other staff writers' approach to gaming journalism was influential in how I wrote guides for GameFaqs and work throughout my academic career, through my Master's. What're you doing now? Thanks for the kind words! Congrats on the degree!
And of course, still playing as many games as I can! I still put in at least 30 minutes of Animal Crossing: New Horizons every day, even a year after launch, plus whatever else I can manage! Hey, Hoffman, I just have one question. Is Chris Slate still in space? If so, do you know if he's ever seen anything peculiar up there, such as a giant ship shaped like Luigi's brother's head, or a moon with a face on it?
Slate safely returned to Earth about, oh, four years after being launched into space. He now hosts the official Nintendo Power Podcast but nonetheless has to deal with numerous interstellar oddities such as spaceships full of Pikmin. Oh, man! I appreciate the concern and apologize for disappearing. Hopefully I can write more stuff for fun this year! How are you? Today marks the one-year anniversary of the release of Streets of Rage 4, but in many ways, the game feels like it could have come out decades ago.
The teams at Lizardcube, Guard Crush Games, and Dotemu have recaptured that hard-hitting, visceral magic with precision and impact, and delivered a love letter to beat-'em-up fans that keeps me smiling and replaying even a year after launch.
To me, the joy of a good beat-'em-up comes from two primary sources: satisfying action and plentiful variety. Like its Sega-created predecessors, Streets of Rage 4 nails it in the first department with responsive controls, generous collision detection, and an excellent sense of reaction from enemies as you lay into them or from your character as they pummel you , with just the right amount of stagger and the ability to smoothly chain moves into one another.
Grabs and auto-combos are as intuitive as ever, but unlike the classic Streets of Rage games, the engine accounts for juggles and rebound attacks, opening up even more combo possibilities, while special moves now offer the opportunity to regenerate health, making them a more viable, user-friendly combat option.
And when it comes to variety, the game is likewise second to none. Four playable characters are available from the beginning: series mainstays Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding, who both offer solid all-around capabilities; Cherry Hunter, who brings speed and acrobatic flair; and Floyd Iraia, the slow but sturdy powerhouse.
While Floyd is my favorite I especially love the wild look in his eyes as he grabs two enemies and smashes them together , each character is fun in their own way, and the initial four are joined by a number of unlockables, including Adam Hunter finally playable again after the first SOR! But character variety is only the beginning; moves, enemies, bosses, weapons, obstacles, environments — Streets of Rage 4 delivers across the board.
There are even hidden throwbacks to classic SOR series moments. The presentation is excellent as well. Now in hand-drawn HD, the graphics are every bit as charming as their old-school counterparts, with vibrant colors and impressive yet often subtle lighting effects. It all comes together in what I consider to be very close to beat-'em-up perfection — taking the classic formula I loved from the Sega Genesis era and modernizing it with four-player action, online gameplay, smoother play mechanics, and a gorgeous coat of visual polish, all while honoring the original games that made this one possible.
With DLC on the way, the fight continues with new environments, new playable characters, new weapons, new music, and the new Mr. X Nightmare mode. And I absolutely cannot wait. Released in North America approximately 25 years ago, exclusively on Sega CD, Snatcher is currently celebrating a landmark anniversary in the West. Keep reading. Better late than never, right? Without further delay, here are my top 10 Nintendo-related highlights from the recent gaming extravaganza.
Heroland This is a weird game: you act as a guide for a group of would-be heroes in an adventurer-focused theme park. The graphics are rather simple, and your party members more or less fight on their own, with you having only limited control over their actions.
It should be great! When traveling in a foreign country, I always make it a point to try to eat foods specific to the locale.
