Okinawa Rush is a 2-D martial arts action game that looks like it jumped right off the Super Nintendo. Or more specifically, it reminds me of NEO GEO games, too. It’s available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Spacewing War (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Spacewing War is a typical retro styled 2-D shooter that takes inspiration from a surprising source. It’s all black and white, so it looks like a Game Boy game. But more specifically, it takes inspiration from Kirby’s Dream Land! A lot of the graphics are the same, it’s pretty easy and short (but still fun), and you even unlock similar extra features when you beat it! The game is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Pocky and Rocky Reshrined (Switch, PS4)
Posted on July 1st, 2022 by
One of the Super Nintendo’s many hidden gems was Pocky and Rocky. It was a two player co—operative 2-D shooter with a unique theme. The game had a Japanese myths and folklore motif. Player one was Pocky, a Japanese shrine maiden who threw cards, and player two was Rocky, a leaf throwing tanuki. It’s actually a sequel to a Japan only arcade game from Taito called Kiki Kaikai, and has spawned a couple of sequels and many cameos over the years. And now they’re back in a whole new game! Pocky and Rocky Reshrined is available on Switch and PS4, but reviewed on Switch here.
