Whether it's Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, the general rule of a fighting game is that the two combatants pummel each other 10-20 times until one of their health bars run out. Bushido Blade, this week's focus on the podcast, turns that idea on its head (while simultaneously trying to cut it off). It's a game where a single swing of a sword can end a round, and preference is given to a perfectly planned moment rather than a confounding combo. But was the world of video games circa 1997 ready for a game like this? And could it possible hold up in the modern day? We aim to find out!Watch our gameplay segments and full video episodes over on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/theretrogradepodcastGet monthly bonus episodes by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theretrogradepodcastJoin us on Twitter: @RetrogradePod, @RetrogradeAndy, @RetrogradeMikeyTikTok: @RetrogradePodOr on Instagram: @theretrogradepodcast Or visit our website at www.theretrogradepod.com/Questions, Comments, and business inquiries can be sent to theretrogradepodcast@gmail.com

I have a fairly modest game collection, but I almost never "have" time to play them. I keep telling myself I'll play these games one day, like when the kids are older and out of the house, or when I have fewer commitments in my life. I also wonder if this "time" will ever come, and should I just sell all these games and play what I have time for. I have a feeling I know what you guys think about this, but I'd be interested in hearing it.   WarriorofWASD I feel this. I have tons of unbeaten games and a wishlist that is just as big. I had to redeem my game time by sticking to motion games (VR and Switch) for exercise and multiplayer with my friends to make it a healthy hobby.   Outro Thanks for listening to the RetroLogic Podcast!

We're discussing "Tom" Kotani's The Bushido Blade. Written by William Overgard, it's the fictionalized account of Admiral Perry (Richard Boone) and his crew making a treaty with Japan. The film fractures into essentially three storylines featuring Frank Converse, Timothy Patrick Murphy, and Mike Starr in his first film role. Interviews include a snippet of an earlier interview with Starr as well as a new interview with producer Benni Korzen who worked on the live action Rankin & Bass pictures going all the way back to The Enchanted World of Danny Kaye.

Die Playstation hat ihren Platz im Konsolen-Olymp sicher: Sony gelang mit der CD basierten Plattform seinerzeit ein erdrutschartiger Triumph. Entsprechend lang ist die Liste an lupenreinen Top-Titeln: Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3 und und und... Doch...was ist eigentlich mit den Spielen, die etwas abseits der gefeierten Klassiker stehen, die vielleicht auch etwas in Vergessenheit geraten sind, aber trotzdem einen Augenblick im Sonnenlicht verdient hätten? Nachdem Hardy und Fabian Käufer in der ersten Unter dem Radar Ausgabe bereits zehn vergessene SNES Spiele gewürdigt haben (hier nachzuhören) dreht sich diese Folge nun also um Playstation Titel, die nach Meinung der beiden Herren ein unverdientes Schattendasein fristen. Folgene Spiele kommen zur Sprache:Sheep Dog 'n' Wolf, Rapid Reload, Disruptor, Klonoa, Heart of Darkness, TearRing Saga, Incredible Crisis, Power Diggerz, Bushido Blade 2, Policenauts Sprecher: Hardy Heßdörfer & Fabian Käufer Lust direkt über diese Folge zu diskutieren?

Steel yourself for the white knuckle fighter that is Bushido Blade.

The Big Boys take a retrospective look at the year of 1997 for video games and anime! An absolutely colossal year for games such as Final Fantasy 7 and Goldeneye - however we talk about hidden gems such as Diddy Kong Racing, Bushido Blade and Mischief Makers! Also on the anime side, underrated classic Revolutionary Girl Utena and ubiquitous mainstay Berserk is discussed!

Middle Aged Gaming 2020's the Game Show: Necromancy in a Nutshell Happy Halloween! On this special holiday episode we will be discussing game's we'd like to see resurrected, games that possess the soul of a previous game, and our recommendation for when the trick-or-treaters stop knocking on your door. Crian's Picks https://store.steampowered.com/app/610860/Shogo_Mobile_Armor_Division/ (Shogo: Mobile Armor Division (Return from the Game)) Shogo may be dated in terms of graphics, but the gameplay is still top notch. Who hasn't dreamed of piloting a giant robot? (no... seriously... who hasn't?) Sure there are other mech games out there, but how many allow you to actually get out of your mech and run around on foot? (*cough* Titanfall *cough*) And best of all, this is a game you can pick up for less than $10 USD. You literally have no reason not to buy it right now! https://portia.pathea.net/ (My Time at Portia (Spiritual Successor)) For those who enjoyed Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia will scratch that same itch. However, with 3D graphics and deeper combat and RPG mechanics, this is no simple clone. A great blend of relaxing and action oriented gameplay. https://robotentertainment.com/omd2-details (Orcs Must Die 2 (Halloween Recommendation)) Unfortuantely, Orcs Must Die 3 is a Stadia exclusive. Fortunately, Orcs Must Die 2 is still there for the rest of us. Take on the role of a sorceress or war mage in this tower defense meets first person action game. Defend the portal in both single player and co-op. And it's kid friendly to boot! Adam's Picks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido_Blade_(video_game) (Bushido Blade (Return from the Grave)) Originally coming out on the PlayStation (the first one), this game has a combat mechanic that hasn't really been utilized since. In Bushido Blade, stab, slash, and parry you way to victory. The kicker? It's a one hit kill. Thankfully, rounds reset quickly, so there's nearly no downtime. Good luck finding it (it's so old it doesn't have a webpage!), but if you do, check it out. https://www.praeyforthegods.com/ (Præy for the Gods (Spiritual Successor)) Do you like kaiju? Of course you do! And so does No Matter Studios. Præy for the Gods takes a lot of inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus, but that's not it's only gimmick. With added survival elements and smaller enemies to pad out your time between boss fights, you'll have plenty to do. Currently in early access on PC but hopefully coming to consoles soon. https://www.skybound.com/telltales-the-walking-dead-the-definitive-series (The Walking Dead: Definitive Edition (Halloween Recommendation)) Let's face it, what would Halloween be without at least one zombie game? Follow the story of Clementine as she grows up in the apocalypse. Think carefully because, for better or worse, every decision you make has consequences. Not a lot of action but good for those who like visual novels or those old school Choose Your Own Adventure books.

My guest on today's episode is Anthony Gallegos - currently working as a game designer on Marvel Heroes, Anthony previously spent years working in the enthusiast press for sites like 1up and IGN, and has been everyone's favourite on a whole host of podcasts including GFW Radio, The Gamespy Debriefings, The Comedy Button and of course Rebel FM. We talk growing up on a naval base, the ubiquity of the NES in America, how multiplayer games were the bedrock of his early gaming life, his zoology aspirations, his time in Scotland, how a looming deadline helps beat imposter syndrome and how meeting Arthur Gies while they both worked at a Tower Records changed the course of his life. We also talk about a whole bunch of games - the never ending allure of PUBG, mainlining Everquest in college, why Gone Home was such an inspiration when he started working in design and why a little jank in a game can make all the difference.

This week, with Bushido Blade on the brain, we take a deep dive into the unique and specific ways that fighting games create meaning out of their mechanics. Along the way, we talk a little about the history of the genre and geek out about one of our favorite odd-ball fighting series. Also included: Santa Dylan, Karate Guy is Dead, Marvel’s Rouge the Bat, The Plug Zone, and Capitalism Death Traps

Today on the 5: This week I'm doing a series called Game Resurrections. These will be games I'd like to get new entries without changing the basic formula too much. Today, Bushido Blade!

Nate, Sebastian, Ryan, and Jordan gather to discuss BUSHIDO BLADE, Light Weight's 1997 samurai fighting game in which a single strike of the katana can be deadly. We consider how pace can change the feel of a fighting game, discuss our favorite samurai movies, and consider how many swords a guy can own before becoming a "Sword Guy." Sebastian discusses a narrative format he wishes more games would embrace, and Nate makes a plea for everyone to petition SEGA to localize Yakuza Ishin.

In which we talk about narrative in games. We compare the story of the original Final Fantasy to Mario, talk about Scratch and Minecraft and learning to code before getting technical about collisions and rendering. Somehow we talk about Bushido Blade (the best fighting game) and talk about narrative as a reward and how it fits into the interest curve of a game. We also talk about lots of other things.

Por fin acabamos con el tema... extendiéndonos bastante más de lo previsto. Así a lo tonto son casi dos horas de podcast, pero una vez grabado ya era demasiado tarde como para tirar para atrás y hacerlo en tres partes.Una cosa que no mencioné en la anterior y aprovecho para hacer aquí es que las canciones que metemos (tanto en una parte como en la otra), aparte de las de los videojuegos Samurai Shodown II, Bushido Blade, Inindo y Samurai Warriors, son de Ensemble Nipponia, siendo las canciones de la segunda parte Edo Komoriuta (Nana de Edo) y Mushi no Aikata (Interludio del insecto), y la de la primera parte: Atsumori (basada en la muerte del joven Taira no Atsumori narrada en los Genji Monogatari (cuentos de los Genji)). Así a modo de resumen, entre sake, espadas, sangre, el sonido de un biwa y cabezas ridículamente afeitadas, la primera parte es una narración de la historia samurái... a lo madafaka. Nos hemos dejado, de manera irreverente, fechas y nombres por todos lados, pero la intención era no matar de aburrimiento. PROMOS:Atropellando una piña - frikadas varias, más concretamente cine, y grandes monográficos.Dos horas y media - la espontaneidad al servicio del desvarío, cine también, cosas, y dos colegas amenazados de muerte si no nos promocionan. xD LIBROS:Taikô, de Eiji Yoshikawa. Y la segunda parte, ya puestos en situación, será un delirio sobre una selección de lo que más nos ha gustado de todo lo que hemos visto, leído, jugado y masticado sobre el tema.

The guys dive into feudal Japan – or possibly just the late 90s – to play some Bushido Blade.

I det femtiofjärde avsnittet av Spelfeber pratar Frode, Emmy och André lite om The Elder Scrolls: Legends och det man råkade missa att prata om under förra avsnittet. De diskuterar även vilka spel som varit bäst i år och vilka spel de ser mest fram emot under 2017. Veckans sidonotis är att Bushido Blade tydligen var en speltitel som var svår att komma ihåg denna vecka. Tydligen var det också svårt att komma ihåg att Wolfenstein: The New Colossus är ett spel att se fram emot i år. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The crew discusses whether Porn is giving Kids an unrealistic expectation of sex, and how much is too much? We then talk about our love/hate feelings regarding MOBA games. We also discuss Sword fighting games like the classic Bushido Blade and the newly released For Honor.

This week, we discuss the early days of our favorite game publisher/developer Square! And Enix. Enjoy!! The History of Square-Enix - Part VII: Game-Making Machine 7 Last time we talked about how Square Co. become an almost exclusive Playstation game publishing company. By 1998 they had a multi-game publishing deal with Sony, and with the success of Final Fantasy VII things were looking up for the now very profitable gaming company. Enix, although keep in mind they were a publishing-only company and made no games in-house, weren’t nearly as successful in the mid-to-late 90’s as Square Co. was. However, games weren’t the only thing Enix was selling. Since 1991, likely due to Enix’s relationship with Akira Toriyama (the artist behind Dragon Quest and Dragon Ball), Enix began publishing a weekly Manga magazine to compete with Shonen Magazine, Shonen Jump, and Shonen Sunday. Enix’s magazine would be called “Monthly Shonen Gangan” (by the way, “shonen” means a type of magazine aimed at young men and boys). It was so successful that they published another fantasy-only magazine in 1993 called “Monthly GFantasy”. Both of these monthly Manga Publications have been selling successfully all the way up to now around Japan. You may recognize some of these names: Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater, Star Ocean and other spin-off manga has been published through these magazines for series later including Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. In 1991 Enix also and a couple of other gaming companies in Japan helped fund the Digital Entertainment Academy Co., which is a school for game development. Speaking of games… The first game Enix published for the Playstation? “Bust a Groove” from 1998. It was a rhythm game developed by the now-defunct “Metro Graphics”. It was enough of a success a sequel in 2000 (Bust a Groove 2), and a more obscure third game on the PS2 called “Dance Summit 2001”, which even wikipedia didn’t even know existed. Following up the successful “Star Ocean” from 1996, Enix released “Star Ocean: The Second Story”, which was the first in the sci-fi/fantasy series released outside of Japan, and proved to be a pretty successful game with 1.09 Million copies sold worldwide. Although we listed the games on a previous episode, I’ll reiterate once again that Enix did experiment with publishing a couple games on both the N64 and the Sega Saturn, but middling sales from both of those systems is what probably led Enix to publish exclusively on the playstation after 1996. Square Co. during this era was pumping out games like crazy in comparison to Enix. Although it didn’t make the game, Square did publish the famous, and ahead-of-its-time, fighting game called Bushido Blade in 1997, created by “Light Weight” Studios (to be fair, they would also end up making the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon game which is neither famous or any good). Bushido Blade would be considered one of the greatest games of all time by many publications, and sell moderately well for a 1997 title with 388,000 copies sold in Japan. Also in 1997, Square Co. would re-release Final Fantasy IV on the Playstation, release 2 games that I couldn’t find any info on, “Power Stakes” and “Digical League”, and publish the sequel to their first Playstation game, Tobal 2. ...And then they decided to shake up the Final Fantasy series with “Final Fantasy Tactics”. Written and Directed by Yasumi Matsuno (the director who stepped down in the middle of FF12), with gameplay designed by Hiroyuki Ito (we have an episode on him btw), Tactics would be one of the strangest departures from the Final Fantasy series, yet one of the most successful and beloved with over 2.4 million copies worldwide, almost all of which went to snobby hipsters who keep reminding people that FF7 is not the best FF game, but their super-rare-totally-not-Final-Fantasy Final Fantasy is. I kid, I’ve never played it, so I don’t know yet. Square would continue 1997 with another addition to the Saga series with “Saga Frontier”, a moderate critical success that sold just over a million copies. A very critically successful sequel to “Front Mission”, “Front Mission 2” would sell a moderate 500,000 copies and be considered one of the best Playstation games. And you’ll forgive me for rushing through the rest of 1997, where we had an “International Version” of FF7 (whatever that means), a little-known game called “Power Stakes Grade 1”, the disappointingly unsuccessful side-scroller 16 bit-like retro-shooter “Einhander”, the forgetful “Front Mission Alternative”, and “Chocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon”, which no, we’re not playing. Final Fantasy VII must have lit a fire under Square’s ass or something, because they would make and publish even more games in 1998, many of which are classics. They would start the year mildly, publishing a little game called “Super Live Stadium”, but would make gaming history in February with the release of “Xenogears”. Praised for its complex psychological plot, and interesting use of anime-style artwork, Xenogears was actually one of the early pitches for the plot for Final Fantasy VII and eventually became it’s own game. It sold over 1 million copies and fans have begged for a sequel ever since. Not to be missed, “Bushido Blade 2” would follow, along with a Playstation port of FF5 in Japan, the unknown-to-wikipedia games “Hai-Shin 2” and “Power Stakes 2”. Now here comes another mega-game… ...Based on the popular horror book (gotta be one of the first games based on a popular modern book, right?), the survival-horror RPG game “Parasite Eve” would make quite the splash as a serious and cinematic game, praised for its storytelling, and selling almost 2 Million copies to date. Not all things can be hits though, the critically-panned Sokaigi would follow, as well as some other not-too-noteworthy games like FF7’s Windows port, Brave Fencer Musashi (forgotten, but it sold ok), “Another Mind”, which is supposed to be really bizzarre game with still photos of actors and shit in a horror game…., yeah…., “Ehrgeize”, the apparently mediocre fighting game which is most notable for its inclusion of FF7 characters, “Chocobo Dungeon 2”, and “iS - Internal Section” which is a “tube shooter” game, like space invaders. With the classics released in 1997 and 1998, Enix was doing pretty wall, but Square Co. was creating a fucking lagacy. And that legacy would only become more solidified in February 1999 with Final Fantasy VIII.   THE REMIX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoPLHBhCRqQ

Bushido Blade.

Bushido Blade.

Defining ninjas is apparently a touchy subject as there are varying expectations of these secretive warriors. Justin grills Ethan about all types of video game ninjas from the loose cannon ninjas to supernatural ninjas and ninjas in bat costumes. The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and interviews about a single video game, genre, news headline, or industry story. It features a rotating cast of up to 3 members of the Horrible Night writing staff and/or video game industry professionals. Via Mark of the Ninja’s website. Episode Background While the conversation was dormant for over a year, Justin never forgot Ethan’s controversial definition of ninja that had Ryu Hayabusa as being capable of destroying a jet in flight. Thanks to the release of Mark of the Ninja giving gamers a more classic example of ninjas, it was time for Ethan to defend ninjas of all varieties. This episode is obviously for fans of ninjas in video games, but it also serves as an important resource for enemies as ninjas.

Recorded on September 29, 2012 with Brian Fife, James Fingal and Thomas Westberg. In the post MMO-RPG world, we tend to make a lot of assumptions about what leveling is and how characters develop as they level, but there’s a lot of diversity in how leveling mechanics are managed. Jim, Brian and Tom discuss how leveling has evolved over the years. Many games purport to have multiple leveling paths that result in differentiated gameplay experiences, but often due to balance or complexity/cost reasons this ideal is not realized. Additionally, social pressure in online games tends to homogenize the character “builds”. Tom loathes auto-scaling zones in open-world games. Jim develops an unhealthy obsession with the TV Tropes website while researching this topic (you have been warned). Everyone agrees that the prospect of losing a level or having XP stolen is terrifying.
