As a big fan of the Military Madness released on the TurboGrafx-16—many, many days were spent in an attempt to secure the Earth’s moon by sheer military force—I’m looking forward to the newest version.
Due to hit Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and WiiWare this year, Military Madness: Nectaris looks to remedy complaints levied against the PlayStation version—the last one I played, Wii Virtual Console release notwithstanding. The 1998 version, amusingly enough named Nectaris: Military Madness, was simply too slow, suffered from disc-loading times and was, well, kind of ugly.
It’s never been flashy, ranking somewhere between the Advance Wars and Daisenryaku series in terms of visual pow, but it has exactly what I’m looking for: solid, turn-based military action with a little… erm, hex appeal. Who’s with me?
