One more call for listener mail: Kabuki Quantum Fighter!?
Yep, it's another mailbag solicitation for an upcoming Retronauts episode — in this case, a Retronauts Micro. We're going to be talking briefly about one of the NES's wackiest cult favorites: The HAL-published Kabuki Quantum Fighter, a platform combat game in the Ninja Gaiden/Batman mold, boasting one of the oddest story premises of all time. You play the virtual avatar of a U.S. army soldier whose digital self is a kabuki stage actor that fights evil by smacking it with his air. It makes no sense! But it's pretty good regardless.
So, if you have fond memories or other pithy remarks to make about this deliriously zany NES creation, drop me an email at jparish [at] retronauts [dot] com by Tuesday for inclusion in our episode.
And if you have thoughts about 8-bit metroidvanias/exploratory platformers/action RPGs, we could use a few more comments for that upcoming episode as well — please send over your interesting opinions on that topic as well!
