  • Developers - Success

  • Switch, PS4

Combining RPG mechanics and aesthetics, Cotton proved to be a longtime resident of many lists of shooter recommendations, especially for the cute-em-up crowd. With so many other shooters finding their way onto modern platforms lately, it only made sense for Success to return to it. Reboot, as you might expect, reboots the series, with a remaster of the first game that brings new art, an arranged OST and mechanics that feel at home with modern shooters. Conveniently, the original’s X68000 port is included as a bonus, making it easier to see just how much has changed.

When Umihara Kawase Bazooka was announced, I was skeptical. The franchise has had its share of left field outings and cameos–to mixed success–and I wasn’t sure that the series’ signature wire action physics would translate to the hectic pace of a platform fighter. Well, after a strange, staggered release, Umihara Kawase Bazooka is finally here on the Switch and I can confidently say that my concerns were mostly unfounded–at least as far as the singleplayer goes.
