    There’s certainly nothing wrong with the gameplay, which remains just as enjoyable now as it did almost 30 years ago, but Reshrined feels like a missed opportunity to add in new elements or mechanics. While the inclusion of an online leaderboard is welcome, the lengthy, poorly-localized cutscenes are not. If you go in not expecting anymore more than what the Super Nintendo games did and can tolerate some odd design choices, then busting these ghosts might make you feel good. Otherwise, wait for a sale or light some incense in hopes that one of the original Pocky & Rocky games shows up on NSO.

    Pocky and Rocky Reshrined is a gorgeous run-and-gun shooter, lovingly and faithfully reimagined. It’s just as much fun as it was back in the nineties, but little in the way of extra content and decidedly old-school controls hold it back from greatness.

Not only does it look and sound fantastic, but the added characters and new stages will no doubt be the icing on the cake. Newcomers, however, may find the control scheme and unforgiving difficulty to be too frustrating for their tastes."

    Ein Tanuki, der sich in die wahrscheinlich schönste Frau der Welt verliebt hat, selbst schon ein Klassiker. Jetzt gehöre ich dir ganz allein.
