There may be no better warning label for Kingdom Hearts than a game title that already requires an explanation before you’ve even started discussing the plot. 😂

It took me a long while to actually play OutRun, via the 3DS port - and by that time I’d played countless other games inspired by it. I hadn’t expected to be wowed by it, but wowed I was. Impeccable vibes and gamefeel all round

Sunset Riders is arcade maximalism in the best possible way. Every stage feels like Konami kept asking how much more color, noise and nonsense they could put on screen before the cabinet caught fire.

My feedback for #SunsetRiders as read out on @caneandrinse.com episode. Another great 90's arcade co-op Konami game. And hats off to @onecreditclassics.bsky.social for you know, beating this game on one credit (www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3MA...). That is not something I was capable of. Fun game!

OutRun is one of those games where the presentation feels inseparable from the design. The road, the music, the scenery, the sense of speed... It’s less about “winning” than creating a very specific feeling for a few minutes at a time.

Yup, confused for sure watching the cutscene experience that is #KingdomHearts358/2Days on the KH Final Mix compilation for @caneandrinse.com However now I may actually go dive into an emulated version of the DS game. Definitely sad the game didn't get the remake treatment.

I know my #ThreeWordReview was more appropriate for #KingdomHearts, the original game. But I wasn't listening to @caneandrinse.com yet when they covered it back in 2022. So I snuck it in this way. And I've only played the 1st game prior to watching 358/2 for the pod.
