What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

TV Animation X: Unmei no Sentaku (PSX)

September 1st, 2022

This is a quick post during lunch break, due to intense sleepiness for the time of day. Last night, I did another playthrough in TV Animation X: Unmei no Sentaku, clearing the game as Fuma. Plot and available character-wise, I understand why each playthrough only has you up against five opponents, but it makes each playthrough seem so short! I'm going to try to unlock everything in the gallery, though, which'll help this game's longevity a bit.

I also picked up My Sims as a new before bed game. I know I'll write more about this later, so I don't mind being brief for now. It's cute and pleasant.

It was a big day for headkicking games yesterday. I did another arcade mode playthrough in Sonic the Fighters, with Knuckles this time. It was mildly frustrating, because he can get attacked while gearing up for a "spin dash" in a way that other characters I've used with this ability cannot. Overall, though, it was fine.

In the interest of having another fighter lined up when I'm through with all the characters in Sonic the Fighters, I booted up TV Animation X: Unmei no Sentaku last night, too, feeling like a licensed fighter where you get to fly around and shoot people with your psychic powers would be a good follow up. I hadn't played this since I was in Japan, and only cleared it as one character then, but was able to pick it back up pretty quickly. The play feel is a little weird, but the full 360 degree movement in all directions and projectiles are neat, and it looks really cool for a PS1 game, too. I probably will go with this one directly following the Sonic one, I enjoyed myself and the gallery unlocks mean I get to feel good about clicking a lot of meaningless buttons as I go.
