Forgotten Favorites - Cotton 2

If you're a shooter fan, like myself, then you're probably at least a little familiar with the Cotton series of shoot em' ups. If not, let me give you a brief summary. Cotton is a cute shooter featuring a broom-riding little witch named Willow. Although the games are traditionally cute, the challenge is far from anything remotely close to what I would call "cute." Cotton 2 for the Sega Saturn system is the sequel to the original arcade and PC Engine shooter title and features some absolutely stunning visuals and music. As with most other Cotton titles, the difficulty level is also at it's usual high point. If you have access to a Sega Saturn system that will play Japanese titles, track down a copy of Cotton 2 or Cotton Boomerang (a slightly tweaked version of Cotton 2) and enjoy! Easily one of my favorite cute em' ups.

Hardcore Gaming 101 is an absolutely stupendous site. You can kill many an hour on there. (:

I'm thinking of writing up an HG101 article on PopoloCrois. But first, I want to finish translating the anime!

I know I LOVE that site. I can't tell you how many late nights I've spent going through their articles. I have some new Agetec news, but I was sworn to secrecy, but the moment I get the okay to talk, I'll post it on here. It's killing me!!!
 
PopoloCrois-related? I can't imagine it would be, but if it is, you should totally email me and tell me what it is. ;) Or at least tell me that it's NOT PopoloCrois-related, so I can rest easy. (:
