Looks... odd.
"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.Okay, I saw some GTA, Bionic Commando, Metal Gear, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Legend Of Zelda...
Holy crap this is the best game ever.
I also liked how the "milk" makes your screen all wavy. Heh.
One of my few regrets about being born female is the inability to grow a handlebar mustache. -LandstanderAlso coming to Wii Ware.
There was a Contra indoor scene...
I must have this game.

Looks fun.
"The world ends with you. If you want to enjoy life, expand your world. You gotta push your horizons out as far as they'll go."I so want to get this game. When is it coming out? The last I heard anything about this game was exactly a year ago.
No release date announced yet.
Jonah FalconMay 2012 release, and it'll be on XBLA and PC and PSN and Wii Ware and Vita.
Jonah FalconAfter a 5-month delay due to certifications and bug fixes, the game JUST got released today on PS 3, Vita, and PC (via Steam, GOG, or directly from the developer). XBLA and Wii Ware versions coming soon, since apparently those versions aren't certified yet.
I preordered it on PC and got the DRM free copy from the dev and the GOG and Steam keys as bonuses, as well as some other preorder goodies such as printable box art and soundtrack sampler.
Just installed it now on PC. Now to finally play it....
Side note: the PS 3/Vita versions support Cross Play with each other - buying one version gets the other one free. I'll probably get that one sometime in the near future if/when I get a Vita.

It's like they redid every single iconic retro game they could think of with their own art assets. I'm surprised that none of the presumably hordes of IP holders have tried to C&D yet.

They got permission, ie. they asked Twisted Pixel for Splosion Man.
Jonah FalconI love how the game brings most references in pairs or even triplets. There's for example the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who attack the player on quite a regular base, but sometimes one of them fights with a hockey stick (probably a Mighty Ducks reference) or even a mop (definitely a Toxic Avenger reference).
Fear the cinnamon sugar swirl. By the Gods, fear it, Laurence.Playing the Wii Ware port right now.
It IS one trick ponyish. But I can't deny that this game is one hell of a labor of love. A lot of work went into this game, and I thank the developer.
ALL CREATURE WILL DIE AND ALL THE THINGS WILL BE BROKEN. THAT'S THE LAW OF SAMURAI.
Coming to XBLA
