this game got me thinkin' that "Kino" is a Finnish loan word.

The story is a mess and none of it makes logical sense, but Ichiban's gang is so funny and cool it's all worth it. Ichiban is kinda like jesus if he was a horny, broke, loser who loved gaming.

Amazing Final Fantasy game with a real dumb Kingdom Hearts ending. I gotta believe Part 3 is going to be the greatest game of all time. They somehow made a Jenovah arrangement better than the original song, a feat thought impossible in the history of game music.

God, this is such a reviewer cliche at this point, but this truly is the game from the "what if 2D never went away?" dimension. It's really slick and fast paced but keeps the atmosphere thick and creamy. I fucking love all the boss battles, in terms of art and game design. The first game in my opinion that made the Metroid power crawl rewarding rather than a boring return to status quo. A MAJOR RECOMMEND FROM ME.
