Treasure

[Discoalucard]

So, you may have noticed that updates have been slightly sparse around here. This is because I've been working on assembling a super mega series of articles for Treasure games. It's not comprehensive - it leaves off some stuff that fit better in other articles (that McDonald game, Silpheed, Wario World) and stuff that kinda sucks a lot, like Dragon Drive. But it's pretty much all of their notable stuff. Some of these were originally written by Klausien, but I've edited/written the rest.

Anyway, I'm away for the weekend, but please leave any comments! I might add a bit more to them depending on how much time I have before next week.

I am one of the biggest fans of Mischief Makers anyone knows and it fills me with such happiness to see it loved elsewhere. I encourage everyone who has an N64 to hunt it down right now, or if you don't have one, at least emulate it. You deserve to know how great this game is.

Guardian Heroes is relevant to my interests. Must hunt this one down.

[Smithee]

H-h-h-holy shit! This is fucking awesome.

After this huge break-- BLAM INCOMING BOSS CHARACTER! like this is hugely great!

[Haz]

Yes! It's finally here.

The Yu Yu Hakusho/Bleach DS article made me cheese harder than a stoned Kool-Aid man--I love the games. Finally, it'll get noticed by and large. I mean, Bleach DS 2nd (Dark Souls.. it hits America in August people--Get it!!) is even better than the NeoGeo Pocket Color's SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium, and that's saying something big.

You should make a short comment on how the translated version of Bangai-O features intentionally (?) hilarious engrish.

[ahnslaught]

Yay! I'll have fun reading through all these articles tonight!

Yup, I'm pretty sure I mentioned it. Put some pics up too. That sheep guy is one of my favorites.

I'm glad I got NullDC working, the pictures of Bangai-O and Ikaruga look gorgeous.

Guardian Heroes article:

"Hoever, the setting is actually meant to bridge the timeline between the original Guardian Heroes and Gunstar Heroes."

"their names and characteristics are a little too close to the girls from Magic Knight Eayearth"

Mishief Makers article:

"Each level is filled with also filled with red gems."

Radiant Silvergun article:

"rattling off its name and a number of "Be Atitudes"

Bangaioh:

"our goal is to manuever your mobile base from one side of the level to the other"

Bravo, Kurt and Klausien. But what else could the McDonald's game possibly fall under? Games that involve food licenses?

[vysethebold]

Yeah, I might eventually do a junk food article if I get the gumption.

A fine follow-up to Captain Novolin.

Oh, but I just love Treasure. They make games for the sake of making games. My personal favorite by them is still Gunstar Heroes, possible followed by Radiant Silvergun and... oh, kind of a tie between Alien Soldier and Bangai-O. Also, bonus points to Mischief Makers for being the first ever Treasure game I've played. I haven't played it in a while, though.

Oh, and a quick note: You say "incredibly" instead of "incredible" while describing Xiga in Radiant Silvergun.

I'm 100% sure Alien Soldier came out before Light Crusader... at least here in Australia. I have magazines from the time with reviews of Alien Soldier... and previews of Light Crusader in later issues. I'm specifically thinking of the classic Sega Megazone magazine

[Shellshock]

Nice chunk of games, guys. I'm looking forward to read all this.

[megatronbison]

I have to say Marinas "Shake Shake!" sound sample was enough to put me off Mischief Makers for life- but I am happy to see this much content!
