Armorchompy Revises Random Old Games Pt. 2 - Sonic Blast Man

[Armorchompy]

First one was Zero Wing, btw

Anyway yeah this is a series now and by that I mean there's like two more planned maybe

Today I bring you Koei's Sonic Blast Man, a trio of arcade punching games (like, you punch a paddle and the game tells you the strength of that punch with some cutscenes going on depending on if you punched hard enough) that also had two SNES beat 'em ups, not to be confused with Sonic the Hedgehog, his Game Gear game Sonic Blast, or his Genesis/Mega Drive/Saturn game Sonic 3D Blast.

A fun fact is that both the first and second Sonic Blast Man puncher games had to be retired from arcades because people got hurt by using them without the padded gloves and sued KOEI, which is kinda funny since the games straight-up warn you not to do that. Anyway. SBM 1 on the SNES is a pretty boring beat 'em up, I don't recommend it, it's kinda slow, but the second game is actually fairly fun! Not on the level of the best beat 'em ups of the time like Streets of Rage 2 or Turtles in Time, but it's a fun 40-ish minutes.

Anyway, here's the reworked profile. Pretty strong for this kinda game but he is a Superman pastiche, so that does check out.

The presentation and review made me forget this was a CRT.

Good file, it's very comprehensive and this unware mass murderer looks like a fine chap.

 

[Confluctor]

how do you find all these?

Looking good

 

[Armorchompy]

how do you find all these?

i deadass no joke made a list of every single shitty retro vg franchise on vsbw

also i like beat 'em ups and i heard the second one was good in a yt video

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Looks good

I totally agree with this profile.

Actually, your revisions of old games are something I am always dream of (giving old games more love) but failed to do. I expect more such revisions from you in the future.

The interesting thing is that the justification of possibly Inorganic Physiology

Type 2: The Sonic Blast Man arcade flier describes him as "A MACHINE DEDICATED TO PEACE"

since it could also be interrupted as description of his devotion to peace, "possibly" is suitable.

Why does it say 188t

 

[Armorchompy]

Why does it say 188t

Because the devs didn't care about the actual amount of energy lmao, unless you think this random thug on the streets is Low 7-C

The thug is tier 4 tbh

Knock yourself out

Just two are planned for now, but who knows.

It could also just be about the arcade machine itself, honestly

 

[Armorchompy]

This is fine to apply, i assume?

 

[Dalesean027]

jesus that's lot and it's funny considering I was going to buy the sega genesis collection since some of these are on there

 

[Shmooply]

Tier part isn't bolded, -1/10 shit profile literally unreadable.
I'm joking this obviously looks good
