Yakiniku Bugyou & Rapid Angel
- Other Reviews
The PlayStation Store has been a very nice avenue for prospective retro gamers to access older titles with a selection of roughly 160 games that can be downloaded at a moment’s notice. Recently I had the chance to try out a couple of games which to my knowledge did knot exist before they hit the store. Two PSone era Japanese imports which may not have stood the test of time but whose gameplay mechanics we still see today.
When you sit down with a retro game it is with the understanding that it will inevitably be lacking in some way.
Gamers that intend to rekindle past obsessions will often find that their tastes and expectations have evolved to the point that the derivation of previous enjoyment may not even be possible. Whereas past marathons with a particular title came with ease a short revisit may sufficient to satiate one’s appetite. We do not game in a vacuum so much of this is a function of the time that has past. The game has not changed although we have.
That being the case however retro gaming can be more than a quick spin with a favorite childhood game, it affords us the opportunity to gain further appreciation for the gaming industry in its current state. Much of the time clear parallels can be drawn between games which are separated by years if not decades.
Yakiniku Bugyou
Previously released exclusively in Japan, Yakiniku Bugyou is a unique puzzle game which tasks players with the juggling the palates and social statistics of throngs of customers as a yakiniku (grilled meat) chef.
