      Very fond memories for Guardian Legend here. One of my faves along with Crystalis and Faxanadu. A friend on our street was a sort of super-player and he would sometimes record high score runs or final- bosses montages on VHS, and Guardian Legend is one game he featured. As soon as I saw it I was like "What is that?". with it's giant skeletal fishes and action rpg elements, I was hooked and had to rent it. (and I'm not a shooter guy at all but having those weapons at your disposal at all times and finding which one is the boss' weak spot, is such a good formula. love it. so good in fact that I sometimes play the shooter-stages-only version of the game that's available on the cart)

    Hard Corps Uprising is my favorite Contra game, it's actually possible to play it co-op because of the Uprising mode. The Arcade mode exists for those that want their one-hit deaths and limited continues though. A little surprised that wasn't mentioned here(maybe because the game has been covered before though).

    New idea for a drinking game: every time Joe says kabuki take a shot.
    A criminally underated game in my opinion is Rocket Robot on Wheels for the N64. It's a puzzle platformer from the guys who made Sly Cooper and Infamous. You run around a theme park over world and go into differently themed levels, each with their own set of puzzles to get tickets to enter the next level like DK64 or Super Mario 64. The best part is each level has it's own unique vehicle to drive around in.

      I only ever got to play 1 when I borrowed an Xbox, but yes- the way that game allowed you to just bash apart almost every part of the stage created a REALLY awesome experience, even if they then also decided to hide a bunch of stuff and stat boosts so you HAD to go through the level with a finetooth comb and wreck everything you saw just to make sure you had all the bonuses. Got a little tedious... but between very destructible environments and floating and dashing almost forever, there was enough fun just moving around that you didn't mind the minor details.

    Kabuki characters didn’t appeal to most people and the word Ninja is too generic for a title. They should have combined the two together for a winning formula! XD
    Anyway, glad to see you cover Hard Corps Uprising and El Shaddai, those 2 definitely deserve more attention.

    Shatterhand can use more than his fists to get the job done. He can throw his little robot helper at enemies which is always fun. Also if you get the same robot twice you become Mega Powered!

      That's because the only real difference is the country of origin, and maybe the budget. I mean, if Italian cartoons become popular in the States, would they be called "animazione"?

      I gotta say that, considering popularity and the fact that when people say anime they usually mean (and others in convo) always assume Japanese animation that, while animated, seems different enough that it is seen as it's own genre
      I dunno I'm not huge I to anime but to me 8ve always seen it as sifferent.

    Shatterhand is based on a japanese super hero live action show called Solbrain.
    Some musics are actually renditions of the show's music, so in Shatterhand, they changed them.

      Interesting to note is that the US game is the original, and the Japanese game is a licensed rework based on a TV show.

Namco made excellent games for the Genesis and had a a knack for pushing the hardware. I'm gonna suggest the same one that I did on Twitter: Atomic Runner on the Genesis. Game is freakin' amazing!
