How the fuck did this dev make such a good platformer game when pretty much everything else they did was RPG?
Kunoichi Torimonochō (1998)
Minimum Nanonic (1997)
Boundary Gate: Daughter of Kingdom (1997)
Magical Pop'n (1995)
Aurora Quest: Otaku no Seiza in Another World (1993)

who were the devs? I only see them credited to one game.

this game was deserving of an international release that unfortunately it didn't get. there was always imports though.

>>8943854
>anyway, it's time for Magical Pop'N

I've done literally hours and hours in digging and I have not found a single news article or import review in any gaming magazine. it seems like it was a game that was lost in the shuffle and I can see why. The big news was the Saturn, Playstation, and whatever big tier SNES games were still being released. I don't think they even showed the game off in trade shows or anything either. It just came out and then was forgotten largely even in Japan. I'm almost certain that outsiders revere the game more than anyone else.

But then again, even shit like Pretty Fighter got import reviews and it's even more forgotten about today.

Sadly, the SNES was in its swansong days whereas in Japan it remained a popular secondary console until at least 1998 with a few releases as late as 1997. The only way this could work is if they had made a "SNES 64" addon for the N64. That would have given a reason to localize more games. Could have also resulted in an N64 "tower of power" situation where you'd have a SNES 64 with a Super Gameboy on top.

Every year I submit this game to Game Center CX so that it can be challenged and receive the attention I think it deserves.

>>8943854
Never heard of it, but it looks cute so I'll play it

>>8945320
It's a solid polished action game. However short and maybe 6 hours total playtime.

>>8943854
Maybe too cute for American tastes?

>>8943854
"it's time for" isn't for games this polished or Japanese

>>8947078
It's the timing, released in 1995. If MP was released in 92 or 93, it would have gotten a release in NA and would be a beloved cult classic.

Do Rei me Fantasy is better and walks and shits over this c tier game.

I played it for a bit, got to that Asura? boss and got killed, it was pretty nice

Do Rei Shit is a slow paced kid's game. Despite the exterior, Magical Pop'n is a fast paced somewhat challenging action game.

This is a bot thread, and should be reported.

>>8944092
...?

Anyone have Hippon Super or other SFC themed magazines from 1995? I'd love to see what if any coverage Pop'n got. I'd love to see a proper scan of the ad as well.

I don't like the grappling hook

it's an OK game, second closest the snes got to genesis quality.

>>8950292
What's the closest?

I like you anon

The SNES was still getting major releases; don't forget the N64 wasn't even out until December '96 so Nintendo had to keep riding it for as long as they could.

>>8950724
well I know Dragon Quest VI wasn't localized because it couldn't have gotten to North America in time before the window to release SNES games had closed

>>8948974
>The protagonist Pop'n's voice is none other than Iijima AI-chan. But don't get any weird expectations because of that.
Famitsu already doing "porn actress blah blah blah" before the game was even out

>>8950810
It's like making a kid's game with Sasha Grey as the voice. It's hard to not comment on it.

>>8950292

You're trying too hard
