Much like the Tendo dojo from Ranma 1/2 (almost) anything goes!

“Soul Eater uses its time wisely and is for the most part, wisely paced. It knows when to move along, when to pause after a major arc for your heroes and villians to breathe, reflect, or just have a fun moment or two before the next one.”

Soul Eater

“This title is for those are already familiar with our Persona 5 team, with subtle callbacks, so I definitely wouldn’t have this as your first title, get Royal, get the most bang for your buck, and come back here.”

Persona 5 Tactica

“I’ll admit when I first picked this up, I didn’t really get ‘the rules’ of survival horror, so I ran and gunned, picked everything up and used my ink ribbons up quickly. It too restarting a few times, and ultimately checking a walk through to really get what it was laying down. Though once I got ‘it’, here I am now talking bout it now on its 30^th anniversary.”

Resident Evil 30th Anniversary: Resident Evil Remake

“…Still, for those that fancy themselves game historians/archaeologists, seeing, hearing and playing this would be like seeing paintings of your ancestors from ancient times: You can see the resemblance that carries to the present day, but also appreciate how far we’ve come.”

Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary: The Legend of Zelda (NES)

“While chronologically the first, this would also mark the last time Capcom would use the tank-controls, fixed camera angle, fight-for-storage-space, limited saves formula since the series inception.”

Resident Evil 30th Anniversary: Resident Evil 0

“This is an instance that with the benefit of modern technology, this title is far more accessible to today’s audience…There are many that would consider this the dark Link of the series. Playing as is, I would agree. Though now with modern features have made this misunderstood, ahead-of-its-time classic worth a play through again.”

Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary: Adventure of Link

“Origins Plus has enough content, goals to keep you busy for a long time if you let it…This is peak 2D game and level design that has stood the test of time, with a modern presentation that adds on to it, not replace it entirely.”

Sonic the Hedgehog 35th Anniversary: Sonic Origins Plus

“Its a testament on how timeless gameplay can be improved upon with taking advantage of the new system’s strengths, such as saving your progress. But its also a lesson on what be can lost when transitioning away from its original console/original release.”

Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary: Super Mario All-Stars

“Remake 2 takes the ideas of Remake 1 of using more current hardware to offer the ideal, what-we-had-in-our-heads vision from ‘98 and expands on it as much as the time has past between those two releases.”

Resident Evil 30th Anniversary: Resident Evil 2 Remake

“Remake 3 does what its supposed to do, once again setting the bar for what a remake should be: Keeping the timeless, core concepts intact, and let modern tech round out, but not dominate the rest.”
