It’s just very basic: all of the innovations that made Natsume’s Pocky & Rocky work so well came in that game, not from Kiki Kaikai. The original, Kiki Kaikai, was a Taito arcade game and Japan exclusive, and it’s… fine. I hope that clears things up.Ī quick history lesson aside: Pocky & Rocky itself is actually a sequel. Cute? Yes! Confusing? Also yes.īasically, if you were looking for Pocky & Rocky, you might be disappointed, but if you were looking for Pocky & Rocky, then this is just what you wanted. All of this in spite of its remaster-implying name, too. Though, it picks up inside of the first Pocky & Rocky, and uses that game’s mechanics for its foundation instead of those of its sequels. You’ll see protagonists, foes, and environments that you recognize, but also new ones on all three counts: unlike the more straight enhanced remasters of Natsume’s Super Nintendo games that have released this generation, for Wild Guns and The Ninja Warriors, Pocky & Rocky Reshrined serves as a brand new entry. Pocky & Rocky was never a particularly prolific series, but still, vanishing for over 20 years before reemerging in 2022 with a game that’s part remake, part reboot, part sequel is all a little much.

Other than the hacks i have all the msu-1 titles and there are only a handful that were never posted.Ĭovering hacks as seperate games is never a good idea, there is a distinct lack of art/assets for the hack, i personally just run my hacks under the original game as an additional app, as all the hacked msu-1 titles are derrived from msu-1 hacks for the games original title, and as such under the MSU-1 secition i have all my hacks are hidden as additional apps.This column is “Past meets present,” the aim of which is to look back at game franchises and games that are in the news and topical again thanks to a sequel, a remaster, a re-release, and so on.
