If you’ve never even heard of this, I wouldn’t be surprised. But allow me to make another suggestion: My Life as a King. The truly cultured player might wryly answer ‘SaGa’, but not stipulate which one.
Mystic Quest, the elderly among you might suggest. What is the best Final Fantasy spin-off? Final Fantasy Tactics, some of you will say. The emulated N64 original and Wii sequel could perhaps be packaged together in one definitive shooting experience - the game even has non Wii remote control methods built-in already! Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King / Darklord Perhaps predictably, this bullet hell rail shooter was sublime but didn’t find the greatest amount of success - but it remains one of the best titles on the Wii. The original game was finally released in the West via the Wii Virtual Console, which itself was a promotional exercise to stoke hype for the sequel, which arrived on the Wii to much hardcore fanfare. That much is true, by the way: Sin & Punishment is one of the best games on the N64. Sin & Punishment was a beloved Japan-only N64 classic the sort of game you’d see constantly referred to by the Western gaming community as a holy grail, a travesty that it never came West.
