Iβm a bit confused myself as the Japanese title is I Love Mickey Mouse: Fushigi no Oshiro Daibouken
But the title screen does show the English title.
It gets really frustrating seeing the switch to a new generation result in reviewers trash anything last gen, or even complete genres that they believe to be last gen.
Shoot em ups come to mind as the 32-bit series started and then 2D fighters as we got to the Dreamcast era...

@[email protected] thatβs the one.
One of the issues was that it focused more on combat.
But overall, it just felt a bit off.
Still a really good game though. But yeah. Not the same.
I've tried to get into the sequel on several occasions, but somehow it feels like it misses that spark that made the original so incredible...
Then again, I wouldn't even know how to even start to attempt to replicate it.

Review for Motor Storm Pacific Rift on PlayStation 3 from GamesMaster 205 - December 2008 (UK)
This score is a bit too low for me personally, but at the time we were flooded with arcade style racing games, so perhaps that had something to do with it.
We only know what we're missing when it's no longer there I guess.

These look amazing.
So much better than the "let's just throw a scanline filter on there and call it a day" type of rereleases.
I really wish we would get these kinds of things more in official ports.
I think I might have exactly what you're looking for. π
And the contents pages for Total 64 No.12 Volume 1 Issue 12 - January 1998 (UK)
I was so hyped for the system.
Finally a return to the SNES days!
Still remember picking it up at the store and playing Kuru Kuru Kururin and F-Zero Maximum Velocity on the train ride home. π
Abandonware-Magazines is an awesome site as well with tons of older magazines.
Only catch is that they focus on French magazines.
But if that's not an issue, it's a treasure trove.
I'm not very well versed in the micro scene myself as I never owned a C64 or Amiga or anything like that back in the day.
I started on arcade and pinball machines in the late 70's and throughout the 80's and then got into consoles with the NES and Master System.
So my knowledge of those kinds of things is super basic, and that's putting it mildly.
But you should be able to find a bunch here:

Look at the earlier CVG issues that they have also btw.
