Sailor moon games1/4/2023 ![]() I have to say, I really like what they’ve done with this and am glad that they took the time to actually design the interior of the Crystal Palace, even if there’s no way it’s canon. The second half of the stage doesn’t disappoint either, taking you into the Crystal Palace itself. As a nice touch, this level opens with Sailor Pluto opening the Space-Time Door for you. It’s also worth noting that at the time when this game came out, Sailor Moon R still wasn’t finished, so they had to be careful to not take their story in any direction that might diverge from the real plot.Īll right! Back to a proper level that fits into the series! The game’s interpretation of Crystal Tokyo is actually pretty interesting since it looks a lot like the Juban Shopping District, even going so far as to have shops with names on the doors, which implies that it’s a normal city like modern-day Tokyo. Nothing ground-breaking, unfortunately, but it’s definitely an improvement over the prior game. In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you! What will become of the love between Tuxedo Mask – no, Mamoru – and me? To make matters worse, an enemy calling themselves the Black Moon have appeared and attacked, looking for the silver crystal. She used some weird sort of hypnotism on my family and now they think she’s my cousin! One day, during a fleeting moment of peace, ChibiUsa (calling herself Usagi) came falling from the sky. The story is also told from Usagi’s point of view, which is a nice nod back to the way each manga act starts. To be fair, the game programmers and art team did an excellent job of not only mimicking the style of the anime, but did a good job of actually getting animated cut scenes into the game (which, for those who are too young to remember, was no easy feat back in the day!). The game opens with a very brief summary of the Black Moon Clan arc of the Sailor Moon R anime. Unlike the previous game, this one has a story… kinda. ![]() ![]() ![]() The character movements were also made faster and enemies more difficult, in response to player feedback. According to Jouji Yuno, a developer/producer at Angel, all of the Sailor Soldiers were given new moves (partially in response to their upgraded powers in the anime, but also in their normal fighting moves as well) and even a new joint attack that can be used during the two-player mode (more on that below). That’s not to say, however, that this is purely a fresh coat of paint on top of the old game. One can only imagine the type of confusion this must have caused children and parents when shopping for the guide to this game! 2 In fact, making matters even more interesting, the strategy guide for the first game was published on Decem– three and a half months after the first game, and just over two weeks before the second game. As mentioned earlier, it’s pretty apparent that they rushed to get the game out the door, most likely for the holiday season. ![]()
