Soma Bringer for the Nintendo DS is weirdly absent from much of the modern discourse around Xenoblade Chronicles’ developer, Monolith Soft. Soma Bringer has much in common with Xeno games, new and old, including the Xenoblade series and Xenosaga. However, Soma Bringer has something that the series has lost over the years. Check out the […]

Gungage Review – Style Over Substance https://onecontrollerport.com/gungage-style-over-substance/ https://onecontrollerport.com/gungage-style-over-substance/#respond Mon, 29 Apr 2019 07:45:07 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/?p=7363 Gungage Header Image

Konami’s Gungage isn’t a great third person shooter but its world and characters have a ton of potential. Ultimately, it fails to meet that. But man, does it have style. External Video Sources: 2:44 -Goldeneye 007 [13] N64 Longplay – Mutch Games

Shaman King: Master of Spirits Review – A World Without Dracula’s Castle https://onecontrollerport.com/shaman-king-master-of-spirits-review-a-world-without-draculas-castle/ https://onecontrollerport.com/shaman-king-master-of-spirits-review-a-world-without-draculas-castle/#respond Tue, 26 Mar 2019 16:00:31 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/?p=7127 Shaman King Master of Spirits Box Art

Shaman King: Master of Spirits is an odd licensed game. Released only in the west, this anime-licensed GBA series is likely built off Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow’s engine.  Yet it goes beyond being a simple clone.   External Video Sources:00:11 – Metroid Zero Mission – Trailer (Wii U) – NintendoWiiUUK 00:17 – Hardware setup test […]

Mighty No. 9 Review – My Favorite Mega Man https://onecontrollerport.com/mighty-no-9-review-my-favorite-mega-man/ https://onecontrollerport.com/mighty-no-9-review-my-favorite-mega-man/#respond Tue, 26 Feb 2019 17:00:45 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/?p=7065 Migthy No. 9 Promo Art

It’s no secret Mighty No. 9 is not a well-liked game. Its history and execution completely rubbed the core fanbase the wrong way. While others were lamenting it though, I instead found one of my favorite games in the Mega Man style.   External Video Sources: 00:17 – Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night // Kickstarter […]

Team Innocent: The Point of No Return Review – No Need for Words https://onecontrollerport.com/team-innocent-the-point-of-no-return-pc-fx-review-no-need-for-words/ https://onecontrollerport.com/team-innocent-the-point-of-no-return-pc-fx-review-no-need-for-words/#respond Tue, 29 Jan 2019 17:00:04 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/?p=6687 Team Innocent Pose

Team Innocent: The Point of No Return for the PC-FX largely fits into the mid to late 90s survival horror mold. Yet its cheerful cast and focus on dialog makes this eerie sci-fi mission have a much brighter tone.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Review – Lost on the Way Home https://onecontrollerport.com/xenoblade-chronicles-2-lost-on-the-way-home/ https://onecontrollerport.com/xenoblade-chronicles-2-lost-on-the-way-home/#respond Mon, 02 Jul 2018 16:01:36 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/?p=5533 Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Promotional Art

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a return to form for Monolith Soft after their open world spin-off Xenoblade Chronicles X. But instead of ending up back at where the Xenoblade series began, the team ended making something that feels closer to their earliest titles.  External Video Sources: 00:07 – Let’s Play _Xenogears_ Part 80 – Dreams […]

Panzer Dragoon Orta Review – An Xbox Essential https://onecontrollerport.com/panzer-dragoon-orta-an-xbox-essential/ https://onecontrollerport.com/panzer-dragoon-orta-an-xbox-essential/#respond Wed, 07 Mar 2018 09:00:06 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/?p=4155 Dragoon on Wyvren

Panzer Dragoon Orta is final entry in the Panzer Dragoon series and one of the many exclusives released on the Xbox by SEGA. The title retains the style of the previous SEGA Saturn entries, but expands the scope of the gameplay with multiple Dragon forms available to the player at any moment. Video Sources: 00:00 […]

The Undead Syndrome Review – Low-Budget Horror https://onecontrollerport.com/the-undead-syndrome-low-budget-horror/ https://onecontrollerport.com/the-undead-syndrome-low-budget-horror/#respond Thu, 07 Dec 2017 17:00:07 +0000 https://oculin.wordpress.com/?p=3380 Mangled Corpse on Ground

The Undead Syndrome is a bizarre trip that would make anyone question why they’re playing it. But giving the game even a short bit of your time will leave you with an experience that has an unforgettable presentation and atmosphere… for both the right and wrong reasons. As with any DLSite game, you can find […]

Yoshi has had it rough. Most will point to Yoshi’s Island as the pinnacle of the series. But even with excluding the puzzle games, there’s one other game I think every fan should spend at least some time with: Yoshi Touch & Go. 00:00 Yoshi ★ NES ★ Gameplay – TheMProductions 00:05 SNES Longplay [161] […]
