Now everyone can experience how outrageously difficult it is to reach the credits of Pokemon Stadium 2 only using rental Pokemon. It's speedrunner strategies or bust - Wobbuffet MVP

    Hideki Kamiya thinks Japan should be proud of ‘JRPG’ and wants to use ‘J-Action’ | VGC in c/games@sh.itjust.works
    [–] -1 points 3 years ago

    The term that's stuck for this subgenre (for better or worse) is "Character Action". It's not particularly descriptive - I agree with Kamiya in that it ought to make clear that it's in reference to the Japanese school of action game design, which is very distinct from western sensibilities.

    That said, I'd consider the best western take on the genre is the indie game Furi.

    Great list of games for one of my favourite systems - the GBA. What are your picks? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

    I'll always go to bat for Gunstar Super Heroes. It's a full on sequel to the Genesis game - hardly anyone seems to talk about it, which is a shame because it's incredible. Easily one of the best action games on GBA, if not the best. Absolutely deserves a spot in any top GBA list, right alongside Astro Boy Omega Factor.
