Microids Toki Retrollector Edition , Nintendo Switch

I love the tiny arcade cabinet that comes with it!

Hey, why is the comic book in French? Oh, flip it over. Got it. This is a great CE. The arcade-style Switch holder really is made of wood. The comic is french/english. Of course the game is excellent. Great retro remake. If the game was in a steel-box, it would have been better. But I cannot complain AT ALL for the price. Great CE.

小学校1年の時にファミコンで発売されたJUJU伝説のリメイクが海外版で販売！ switchでかなり綺麗にリメイクされてるし、何よりパッケージが最高です。 難易度選択でき、Easyモードでもファミコンの時と変わらず難しいかな。 でも懐かしさも含め純粋に楽しいです。 ストーリーの漫画も付属されてて、アーケード用の組立付録、シールなど、グッズが沢山付いてますので、役5,000円はお得です。 いかにも海外版と言った感じですが、ファミコン買って貰った時のような満足感がありワクワクします。 イギリスから、一週間と言う長い渡航を得て よくぞ日本に来てくれました。 一部外箱のケースが折れてボコボコになってる部分がありましたが、いかにも海外クオリティだなと言った気がして許せます(笑) 子供の頃、中々全クリできなかったJUJU伝説ですが、頑張ってクリアしたいと思います！

Super exigeant mai amusant 😁

The Toki Remake has been released at last, after being originally announced in 2009! Well, I haven't been holding my breath for it, but it was a long wait. Graphically the game was totally remade, in a style and quality that, while not as good as Cuphead (that game is in a class of its own), are really exceptional. High definition graphics, detailed animation, lots of little touches here and there, parallax scrolling (!!! yep, I'm old) and so on. The music was also rearranged, with some catchy tunes based on the original (I love that 2nd stage music), that even speed up during the boss fights. Now to the gameplay. This is as good as I remember it, and it's basically a recreation of the original level design, but please note that it's not 100% identical, just about 95%. There are many slight differences in enemy positioning, rules for power-ups (Helmet and shoes together!), weapon range and rate of fire, and attack patterns (the 1st boss sometimes tackles you, the 4th boss shoots two tusks and its trunk works differently, etc.). So, even if you know the arcade version like the palm of your hand, you'll have to adapt yourself and partially re-learn the game, which is great for a fan. Unfortunately, there is a definite dearth of options and extras. You can choose the difficulty level (4, like in the original, which affects the numbers of lives, credits and the hit points of the enemies) and that's pretty much it. No extra modes, no gallery, nothing. And the endings? When you complete the game on Easy mode you just see a generic Game Over screen, while starting from Medium you get the animated sequence, the congratulatory message, and then it all goes back to the main screen. You don't get the credits, and you don't see that nifty character list from the arcade, not even if you one-credit the game on Hardest or you do it with a single life. What a pity. Now let's consider the physical Retrollector edition, which is a real treat. The box itself is great, with a slip case and a book-style cardboard container, which is reminiscent of old-fashioned computer game boxes, like the Amiga (I guess you remember it if you're playing Toki). Inside we find the game itself in a standard Switch case, a set of stickers, a few illustrations, and a short comic book, in English and French (on the flipside). This one is much appreciated, since it sheds some light on these weird characters (who are these freaks?). Finally, we find a small arcade cabinet made of wood, that you can assemble to fit the Switch in it, playing the game like a small arcade machine. This is pretty suprising, since wood (wood!) is pretty much the last thing I expect to find in a game (unless it's a hentai game). So, in conclusion, a pretty great package. A classic arcade game brought back to life, mainly for its old fans, who will enjoy going back to it once in a while (must beat it with 8 lives left!) improving their high-score.

Una Edición preciosa y muy económica. Todo ha llegado perfecto! Un clásico de toda la vida. Lo recomiendo.
