IV. Thoughts

  1. Self
    i. What I like
    - I kind of figured out how to play it without making myself look like a (complete) fool
    - Graphics were slightly reminiscent of retro gaming

    ii. What I didn’t like
    - Might be hard to get into if you aren’t already a fan
    - Seems more like a game to play while on-the-go (thank you, Military Madness: Neo Nectaris on the iPhone) or in-between other games

  2. Target audience
    i. Positives
    - It’s brought back from the late 80s and early 90s
    - EXPLOSIONS, MAN
    - You can obtain the game straight from your couch
    - Multiplayer online mode available
    - Newer, updated cut scenes
    - While it’s your opponent’s turn, you can eat pizza

    ii. Negatives
    - Nothing too extremely new from the original series

V. Special Notes from Hudson

  1. In addition to Military Madness: Neo Nectaris, other classic Hudson titles will be brought onto the iPhone: Knights of the Phantom Castle, Aqua Forest 2 and World RPS.
  2. Why can’t Mario stop partying? “Because it’s always a good time. Why would you want to stop Mario?”
