Pikiinya! is a Japan-exclusive action-puzzle video game developed by Crea-Tech and published by ASCII, which was released in 1997 for the Super Famicom.
Pikiinya! takes the Tetris-esque formula of blocks falling from the sky, and adds gyrating tropical-type penguins. They excite easily, and sleep when they are alone and/or bored. These penguins just want to live in peace, and throughout the story mode in the game they must constantly fight against people that want to capture them including poachers, witch doctors, and mad scientists.
The characters were designed by Tamakichi Sakura (the artist of Super Mario Adventures). The game designers were Hiroshi Miyaoka and Tomoki Tauchi. The voices are from Maki Yagita.
The final golf game for SNES from T&E Soft. The cartridge contains the SA-1 enhancement chip, so there are less waits during gameplay, graphics are also improved. In previous work, the terrain that had been drawn as flat polygon became a more of a pointillist style painting. There were many interface improvements and the main controls moved from a window to being displayed around the player sprite.
This video game is a puzzle block fighter similar to other Japanese block games on the Super Famicom like Dossun! Ganseki Battle. The player has to match coloured blocks together and gain combos/special blocks to fight against its opponent. The game features stylized "muted" graphics and a soundtrack composed by Hideyuki Shimono and Akihito Ohkawa. This was their first collaboration before Zero Divide in 1995.
The Great Battle Gaiden 2: Matsuri da Wasshoi (Matsuri refers to a Japanese festival, at which "wasshoi" is regularly chanted) is an off-beat "gaiden" (side story) game in The Great Battle sub-franchise: the flagship games of the Compati Hero Series. The game is based around an alien invasion during a festival, and the four heroes (Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Knight Gundam from Gundam and Fighter Roar, a character created for The Great Battle series).
The game has a mix of genres. The chief gameplay is a platformer where the player can leap up and down floors similar to Ninja-Kid or Mr. Goemon. If the player enters a flying gate, they are escorted to a shoot 'em up stage in which they control a flying lobster fighting samurai heads and Maneki Nekos.
The Great Battle Gaiden 2 follows the Game Boy game Tekkyu Fight! The Great Battle Gaiden, released the previous year. Like every The Great Battle game and its Japanese pop culture-specific heroes, the game was never localized into English.
Heisei Inu Monogatari Bow: Pop'n Smash!! ("Heisei-era Dog Tales Bow: Pop'n Smash") is a video game adaptation of a 1993 comedic anime series (which in turn is based on a manga) about a bull terrier, Bow Wow, who is adopted into a Yakuza family. The game is a competitive two-player action sports game that plays similarly to a vertically-oriented version of Pong. The player takes on various opponents, taking advantage of the arena and power-ups spread around.
