About Me
I'm Josh "unangbangkay" Tolentino, and this is my cry for attention.

I'm also the News EditorJapanator. Come visit, and see me gush about things not directly related to video games. Or not. But hey, diversifying your interest in me is definitely something I would encourage.

As a bit of shameless self-promotion, I also write about games for the California Literary Review.

Here's a personal blog-thing that I write in when I remember to: Death By Eroge!

Oh hay, I wrote about a Macross game
Josh Tolentino | 10:39 PM on 11.20.2009 14 comments


As above, pretty much.

I had been planning to do this for months on end since I watched Macross Frontier, but things didn't really pan out.

Suffice it to say, it's awesome and you should go to Japanator and see it.

Unfortunately it's old and looks like ass. Seriously, even Ace Combat 4 looks better, and that game launched two years earlier.

Anyway, if you're hurting for your own Macross game you could try Ace Frontier for the PSP. Then again, if you're the type to hurt for a Macross, you probably know that.

Just don't play Robotech: Battlecry. Shit nearly broke my soul.

Also StarCraft.

I remember back in the day when I was a big fan of Robotech on Cartoon Network that I anticipated that game with great hope. Luckily I forgot about it and never played it, I guess.

I got some Macross game for Xbox: it came with a nifty ass t-shirt and some extras. I loved it.

Also had the entire Macross, Southern Cross, and New Generation series on DVD.

oh wow, Japanator actually got something right! That's rare.

PS2 Macross is indeed one of the best macross games out there, way better than the robotech games AND you can play as the VF-4 lightning as well when you unlock it so it's not just all about the VF-1 valkyrie!
And Ace Frontier and it's sequel are pretty good too, although the camera sucks ass!!
Might have to watch some DYRL after this!!

@ Holmes
Hey, at least it wasn't me trying to sound like the Japanese version of Foghorn Leghorn asking me if I "remember that ol' lullabye" and calling out for a "lonely soldier boy."

If you're reading this and not aware of Genesis Climber Mospeada, go watch more classic anime.

Makuro no sora o tsuranuite,
Chikyuu o utta ikazuchi wa...

Epic Opening!!!

But I would say that Mospeda isn't a particularly good choice for classic anime, seeing as it's, well, crap. Better than Southern cross tho.
Seriously tho, what the hell did Holmes sucker me into listening to?

It's the American opening to Macross before the decision was made to unify it, Southern Cross and Mospeada into ROBOTECH.

Two words: Thank God.
