Yeah he was working for Square but as we have seen with a lot of these autor games, not having anyone to talk down the creator isn’t always a good thing.

Naka we were talking about and he was now free of Sega. Now I wasn’t really that excited for Balan when I first saw it but I still had high hopes that it would be something special. That is until this past year when it was announced that Naka had partnered with Square Enix to bring us a new 3D platformer by the man himself: Balan Wonderworld. I was getting pulverized by her fight too, since there were so many things to pay attention to. That mechanic specifically was the coolest, although I do wish they made it more obvious when you needed to switch over to a different side. Let’s fight.” Not only does it get you more invested, but it makes her artistic persona go deeper than just “she looks weird.” She is genuinely conflicted about her relationship with Zuke, and naturally that leads her to literally split him and Mayday apart. The fight is so mesmerizing in every way, especially by how it starts off so slow and calm and progresses to insanity, as well as the increased emotional investment in the fight making you feel so much more into it than just “That’s the boy band. It’s not just surreal imagery, it’s ARTISTIC surreal imagery. But, again, this is the kind of boss fight that only this type of character could provide. DJSS is Daft Punk (or any artist with a helmet persona, you know what I’m talking about), Sayu is Hatsune Miku, DK West is Kanye West, Yinu is a generic child protege, 1010 is a KPop boyband (just pick one) and Eve is Lady Gaga. The dark way they were hyping him up too gave such a bizarre atmosphere, especially since it parallels his seemingly chill and smiley demeanor.Įve just has to be Lady Gaga, right? Like, an even crazier Lady Gaga. Even though I suck at his game and am not especially fond of his raps, the visual of him rapping with this giant monster behind him and dozens of weird shadow wingmen by his side hyping him up was probably one of the coolest in the entire game.
You know, if his fucking shadow clone magic didn’t make him crazy cool enough. Also, finding out he was tied to Zuke and wasn’t strictly an NSR artist really made him more interesting. When I finally saw him in game, I was shocked to hear him speak an entirely different language most of the time, which was really cool. I wasn’t sure where he was placed, but I definitely assumed his gig was the weird shadow demon we saw in the trailers. Characters are so much better when they’re a perfect blend of characteristics, instead of being all one-note, like how Zuke is the quiet one but gets heated against DK West, and all.ĭK West was probably one of the most interesting characters visually, especially since I knew of every other NSR member long before the game came out, but I only just heard of him closer to the release. I can also appreciate how she has a tough-as-nails persona while still keeping a semi-girly attitude, like with her falling for 1010 and Sayu. I played as her as much as was reasonable not only because I’m a filthy button masher with little strategy but also because she’s so damn cute. And her little booty jig she does in her idle animation? Adorable. How could I have ever thought of that? It looks so perfect, and I don’t know why.
And, oh my god, Mayday’s weird Spongebob background flower eyes? It’s little tidbits like that that really make me jealous. I love his weird blocky blue dreadlocks, and his weirdly shaped shirt which bares his chest in the weirdest way. I will say it’s weird to pair the martian Zuke with the humanly-skinned Mayday, but honestly it doesn’t even matter because he looks so cool on his own. I’m always a sucker for a cute and crazy girl, but honestly Zuke hit so many of the right notes too.
