Um I never read anything about someone discussing a retro game before, but this was a thread to talk about anime-related games (though from the looks of it, it is more of a "Current Game Discussion" topic now) and I figured: in a forum with so many people, why not bring this old gem up? Maybe you will appreciate it as much as I do, or maybe it will be removed due to it being too old to be here.
No, this is actually not some cheesy textbox game. It is Cotton! Not just released as a one-time deal, though. Just like Sonic, this was a SEGA-exclusive first-party game and no other systems had it! Well, excluding the first entry that is. All of the games first released on Arcade systems, and then were ported to a SEGA system. At least, the ones on the Saturn anyway began on an arcade first. Oh, and the aforesaid first entry.
It is a game surrounding a young female witch whom is trying to gain a candy substance called "Willows" from an evil witch named Wool. Cotton vs Wool, okay it sounds cheesy now though I have to admit! This evil witch is trying to take over the world! But, Cotton herself does not care about this, she only wants the candy. So, yeah the story itself was another reason why I got so interested in this game series recently! It's such a departure from others.
Well, I purchased an entry for it recently, on my old SEGA Saturn. This one, to be specific:
And it is a blast! Probably the funnest game I have ever played on my Saturn in a very long time! It features resplendent visuals, a memorable soundtrack and very exotic gameplay for the genre it's in. It pushed the system to its limits to do what couldn't be done before, and that is pretty unique.
And since it is heavily anime-themed, I figured why not bring it up here? And it released several games for about a decade and a half, so there's plenty more to discuss besides this one.
Perhaps a lot of you don't know the series though, given its low relevance nowadays, which does make it quite rare to even find such games as well so they are a really good novelty to own. One of my favorites is the console-exclusive release that contains real anime cutscenes.
So, does anyone here know of this series at all?
