Got my first win in Mr. Driller. Haven’t been as immediately absorbed into a game like this in awhile.
Hyper Bun Buster feels like a modern, refined iteration of some fairly prolific arcade genre from the 80s or 90s. Except that genre doesn’t exist, which makes it all the more shocking that it’s as polished and realized as it is.
Nishitani remains one of the handful of beat em up devs who actually played the games. I'd say it's useful to use him & Final Fight as an example but modern bmup devs don't even see why Final Fight was & still is good 🥀
