Even though Bloo Kid 2 is about as vanilla as a 2-D platformer could be, I still enjoyed it for what it was. And it reminded me of the games I used to rent back in the day on my Super Nintendo. As the blue-clad Bloo Kid, you must rescue a baby in a basket from a flying demon. You’ll travel through five worlds as you hop and bop your way through enemies and secrets. It’s available on Switch, PC, and mobile devices, but reviewed on Switch here.

Stay Cool, Kobayashi-san: A River City Ransom Story (PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC)
Posted on December 2nd, 2019 by
The River City Ransom series sure has gotten a lot of games this year! First there was River City Girls by WayForward, then River City: Melee Mach!!, which I reviewed earlier. And now there is Stay Cool, Kobayashi-san: A River City Ransom Story. It’s kind of a side story starring Kobayashi, one of Kunio’s rivals. But who is Kunio? He’s the main character of most of the River City games. In Japan there is a popular series of video games that has gone back since the 80s starring Kunio. He’s a hot-blooded high school student who sometimes gets into fights and trouble, but always stands up for his friends and against bullies. Kunio also likes to play sports and when he’s not beating up baddies, he’s competing in events like soccer or dodgeball. Some of Kunio’s games have made it to the US under name or graphical changes. If you’ve ever played a game like Renegade, River City Ransom, Crash N the Boyz Street Challenge, or Super Dodge Ball, then you’ve played a Kunio game! This new side story game is available to download on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
