Obscure Game 10
Last Blade is a fairly known and an amazing fighting game released for the OG Neo Geo. But did you know that it had a port for Neo Geo Pocket?
The Last Blade Beyond the Destiny is an amazing fighting game. The movement and combat all feel so fluid. They truly capture what made The Last Blade great on a portable system.
Pixel art for it is perfect. Of course one cannot expect the crispness of a Neo Geo however this port has its own graphical style which relies on fewer colors however the color palette is pleasing to the eyes.
Porting games once considered an art. Now ports are becoming more and more of HD redressing of existing IPs. I believe what is so special here is that Neo Geo Pocket port is truly masterful, it stands its own while being respectful to source material.
This game is remained, this version I mean, as hidden gem because unfortunately the console it inhabited did not sell well. But in this day and age it is easier for us to discover such hidden gems.
Give this game a shot. Whether emulate it or buy the actual copy it is up to you!
