After a long hiatus due to world traveling, I am back with some more songs about videogames. This week in the Mushroom Singdom, we’ve got Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards for the Nintendo 64 and Psychosis, which was on the Turbo Graphix 16.
In terms of the songs, I find it funny because I spent literally ten minutes writing the Psychosis song that I thought came out really well. Especially compared to the Kirby 64 song, on which I spent the better part of an hour. Just goes to show you can never tell what’s going to stick and what isn’t.
I wouldn’t classify either of these games as a sure thing. Psychosis is one of the most by-the-numbers shmups Nintendo has released on the Virtual Console thus far. Just absolutely nothing original in it. Kirby 64 is all right, but doesn’t even come close to comparing to the original game, or even some of the others that came before it. This was the first time I had played it, and even though I was enjoying myself, I felt somewhat cheated by the faux-3D nature of the graphics. Look at Mario 64 and then look at this. Yeah.
