SNEScapades Podcast #50: Sonic Blast Man. Plus: Super Valis IV

WHOO HOO! EPISODE 50! We didn’t really do anything special for this one other than talk about Super Valis IV and Sonic Blast Man, but they were fun to talk about!

Sonic Blast Man has nothing to do with a certain blue hedgehog, but is instead a belt-scrolling brawler adapted from an arcade game that people were meant to literally, physically punch! Is this game any good when removed from its novel arcade accessories? Can it’s fun presentation overcome the fact that it’s a one-player game? We’ll tell you what we think!

And we have Super Valis IV. It’s a game with some really good controls and graphics. But does it do anything with its strong foundations? The fact that I would even ask that question should probably suggest that it does not. But listen anyway? We also talk about the history of the Valis series.

That’s about it. We hope you enjoy it!
