Happy New Years! Retro Forward Plays : Rygar PS4

Happy New Years from Retro Forward!!

I decided to get up early and give a little preview of the PS4 version of Rygar on PS4. 

Rygar is a side scrolling action platfomer created by Tecmo in 1986, originally released for arcades in Japan as Warrior of Argus.

I will say Rygar runs really well on the PS4. I'm sure this would come as no surprise for a game that came out in 1986 to the arcades. My only major complaints with the game is since this is an arcade port you need to make sure you have enough Credits in order to continue but instead of just pressing "options" you need to press triangle to add credits. (something I didn't realize my first couple plays) 

In terms of graphics the game is exactly what you would want from an arcade port, everything looks amazing in all it's retro glory, The music is just as rocking as ever. If you own a PS4  and you consider yourself a "Retro Gamer" do your self a favor and pick this up for only $7.99 on PSN. 

Get It!

Nidhogg the Drinking game

Hi everyone my brother/band mate Sean decided to come over and play some games. we decided to turn Nidhogg in to a drinking game. Enjoy!! 

Nidhogg is a two-player side-scrolling fighter, originally released on pc in January of 2014. The version of the game I am playing is the PS4 release which came out in October. Both versions of the game were made by Messhof AKA Mark Essen. The game supports Online as well as couch Co-Op. It also has a single player mode. The game is basically two fighters fencing their way to the end of the stage to be eaten by a creature called the Nidhogg (a giant monster worm thing). Played like a tug of war.

I have to say I am glad to be playing this on the PS4, the controls feel super tight, combine that with the excellent Duel Shock 4 controller you have a winning combo. The graphics remind me of the CollecoVision, the character animations are much more advanced from what you would see on retro console. The music in this game is very dynamic created by Deadelus, music responds to the action on the screen, making every battle feel exciting and also you'll wanna rock out while playing. 

I definitely RECOMMEND this game to everyone with a system to play it on. Best part if you have a PS4 or Vita it is cross buy. The Vita version even let's you share the same vita to play two player! Nidhogg goes for $14.99 on PSN, and is probably one of the best times I have had playing couch co-op all year.
