Semaru…Shokkaa

Damn you, Super Hero Retsuden.

Things were going so well between us. I used to be able to just pick up the joypad, turn the Dreamcast on and then swap discs when I got bored after a level. It was nothing serious.

Then you pulled a damn Shocker Rider level and, not only that, you made me actually care about the character I was playing!

『本物ライダーだ!』

I now really want to see a story featuring one of the Shocker Riders vs. moral angst/guilt/identity crisis. I don’t care if a lot of this kind of stuff is covered in Ichigo’s origin, I want someone to deal with these issues in regards to the Shocker Riders!

Of course, having inspired all this in me, the game then goes and refuses to make Shocker Rider a selectable character from the main menu screen.

Damn you, Super Hero Retsuden, damn you.
