Hey Everyone! Thanks for the recommendations. I've gone through a few of them and have some thoughts...
Momotarou Katsugeki - This was the first one I tried because the screen shots made it look like it'd be right up my alley. I did enjoy it, but not as much as I thought. A "rival to PC Genjin", Paul? That might've been overselling it a bit.
Or maybe I just didn't get far enough into it. It did take me a bit to realize that I could select upgrades from the menu, and even then navigating the menu was a slight challenge due to the language barrier. That said, it's a great looking game and it is enjoyable, for sure. I just didn't like it as much as I hoped.
Son Son 2 - I'd played this one before, but not for very long. This game I really liked a lot. Although, I was playing it with Jash and it took us both a few minutes to figure out just how the hell to enter the doors. Turns out you hold up for a couple seconds, instead of just pressing up like a normal-ass game. That hiccup aside, this was definitely one of the highlights.
Genji Tsushin Agedama - Also really enjoyed this one, though I didn't get past the auto-scrolling part. I love the look of it, and it's a very unique game. Will definitely go back to try some more.
Lady Sword - Huh...yeah...not for me.
Atomic Robo Kid Special - Not one that was recommended, but I'm glad I checked it out. Really fun, even though the character size was a tad cumbersome. A cool cross between a platfomer(ish) and shoot-em-up.
Hany on the Road/Hany in the Sky - Road is neat, Sky sucks. Nuff said.
I've got a few more to sum up, but those are the ones off the top of my head. Jash also introduced me to some overhead adventure game starring a valkyrie, but I can't remember the name. That was fun!
Keep the suggestions coming!
