Super Ninja Boy Edition

SNEScapades

On today's show, Emmy and Link talk about a pair of games that merge genres together in interesting ways that produce less than stellar results. First up is Super Ninja Boy. It's a game that combines the dungeon-crawling of an RPG and swaps out the turn-based battle mechanics for a belt-scrolling brawler; an idea that sounds good on paper.

Then it's time to drive into an apocalyptic wasteland to talk about Outlander; a game that combines driving combat with on-foot resource-gathering excursions.

Finally, we need to talk about Street Combat. It's a fighting game that has roots in a popular manga series that was completely washed out of the American release, leaving us with characters that are... a bit strange.

And speaking of strange, have you heard the stories about defunct game developer Culture Brain? Whoo boy!
