Godzilla & Nekojara Monogatari retrospective: Hello kitties, hello kaijuu | Game Boy Works 126

Watch on Youtube

Youtube Video Description:

You come at the king, you'd best not miss. In this case, they've come at Godzilla, the King of Monsters, and stolen his horrible little son Minilla. I personally would be happy to let Minilla languish forever in captivity, but parental instincts run deep even for a skyscraper-sized atomic-powered dinosaur... and the result is one of the best Game Boy puzzle action games to date. So, hey, thanks for existing, Minilla. I guess. On the import tip this episode: Nekojara Monogatari, another of Kemco's reworkings of the Shadowgate engine into a role-playing adventure game. This one has a theme of kitty cats. It has never been fan-translated, a state of affairs I would love to see resolved; it's a pretty neat little game, from what I can tell. Video Works is funded via Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/gamespite) — support the show and get access to every episode up to two weeks in advance of its YouTube debut! Plus, exclusive podcasts, eBooks, and more! Books coming soon. Production notes: • Game Boy footage captured from original carts on a Super Game Boy 2 and @Analogue Super Nt. • Live footage captured through same process, but with a Game Boy Camera. • Footage output as RGB via @Analogue DAC and upscaled via @Retro Tink 5X (hence the visual glitching and artifacts that shows up in some footage).
