Product Synopsis
Update: August 02, 2006
«©NCSX»
Twenty one
years ago, Capcom rehashed the age old yarn about a damsel in distress.
Instead of sending a plumber to do a man's job however, a more traditional
hero archetype was summoned to perform the rescue. Jumping and throwing
weapons like a banshee, a knight in shining armor went on a mission to save
his betrothed from a demonic kidnapper.
The PSP
version of Goku Makaimura recreates the original adventure but with rich and
vibrant visuals along with a revamped game engine that runs in 2D but also
features 3D sequences as well. In the first level of the game, the action is
reminiscent of the classic Makaimura where the knight battles a crowd of
enemies that approach on the ground and from the air. A spitting Venus flytrap
sends deadly kisses through the air and a gruesome mid-level boss shoots
squishy eye creatures. Arthur only has a single jump at the outset of the game
but defeating the first boss grants him a pair of winged shoes which add the
double jump to his repertoire. Arthur lofts even higher when he picks up a
special power-up later in the game...
Three game modes are playable: Beginner, Original, and Arcade. In Beginner and
Original modes, armor stock may be stored where Arthur can take multiple blows
before losing his protective suit. He starts off with two armor stocks and can
take two hits before he's in his underoos. Additional armors can be picked up
to upgrade his power level as well as his level of protection. In the Arcade
Mode, one hit demolishes his suit of armor regardless of its power level.
Capcom Bonus D-Pad
Every copy of the Asian version of Goku Makaimura includes a bonus
D-pad (white) which sticks over the PSP rift-pad. The bonus pad is packaged
inside the game case. NCS staffers have been playing the game with the analog
nub without any problems but the bonus d-pad is a nice little gift for use
with fighting games.
Region Free
Playstation Portable games are
region-free and playable on any version of the PSP
handheld.
