Highly recommended playing the Japanese version with the translation patch. There are dialogues, better balancing, and it gets rid of some weird stylistic changes.

Endlessly charming and creative. It's nice to play a nostalgic game and for it to not completely suck for once. Now I can tell why kid-me always went back to this game.

When fighting the Baby Face boss after the third phase and the old guy appeared I was like "ANOTHER PHASE!? WHAT THE FFFFF-" ...and then it dies of old age. Genius.

Is that some sass from the devs against Sega/Konami in the secret ending btw? 🤣

★★★½ – Great ✅
