I don’t get it. What’s so surprising about this release, especially in a world where Vol 2 is “inevitable”? I would be a little surprised, just a little, if they translated Neo Poke-kun or Biomotor 2, something that required a new translation and extensive reworking of game.

Posted by SignOfZeta on May 31, 2022 at 14:46:54 EST in reply to Category: Things I never expected to post. Biomotor Unitron is now available on Nintendo Switch. This was the game I bought with my first NGPC (alongside Samurai Shodown) and I will always have a soft spot for it. Will wait for the inevitable NGPC collection vol. 2 though. (n/t) from Mental.

Biomotor still seems obscure to me for some reason. But yeah they already released Big Bang Pro Wrestling (which I'd managed to forget about already) so at this point probably nothing should be surprising.

The way I see it, every US NGP game was released by the same publisher in the same way. Everything is equally common or obscure. Big Bang was the first to not be part of that since it didn’t come out in the US at all. When we see Evolution and Faselei they will have made the leap to UK only games, when they actually translate something or do something more than just dropping ROMs into an emulator then we know they are doing something at least a little unexpected.

The NGPC emulator for the 3DS is good, so I made a Ganbare, Neo Poke-kun virtual console title and it's actually the first game on my 2DS home screen and probably the one I play the most. If I knew how to autolaunch a game at boot, I would probably just turn the system into a dedicated Ganbare Neo Poke-kun machine.
