Kamen Rider Black. (Nintendo Famicom Disk System) Review.


"I love being alive." These are lyrics from the theme song for the classic Japanese TV series, Kamen Rider Black.  Yes! A Kamen Rider Black game! With all the crazy stuff that went down in the show, it sure needed a video game.  Sadly, be careful what you wish for.  Not all that glitters is gold and this game is one of those cases.  They need to change one of the lyrics of the show to, "I don't like being alive!" it's that bad. Why is it bad? Read my review to find out.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO. (Sega CD) Review.


In a time before Masked Rider aired on American TV back in 1995, there was another attempt of exposing Kamen Rider to an American audience.  In the previous year of 1994, America got an unexpected release for the Sega Mega CD.  (Yeah, I know it was just called the Sega CD in the US.  I'm Australian.  Get over it, mates.)  Kamen Rider ZO the game hit US shores under the name, The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO.  A silly name for sure.  It translates to The Masked Rider: Masked Rider ZO.  But that's enough of the Wikipedia history lesson.  Let's see if this sucka is any good or not.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Kamen Rider (Super Nintendo/Super Famicom) Review.


You know how some gamers swear that a game is good because they spent a ton of money on it?  (*Cough* The people that bought the Double Dragon 4 Collector's Edition *Cough*)  Well, today's game is a very expensive one to find and it's a tokusatsu game.  So, going by that logic that means that this game should be a twenty out of ten game that only the game collecting gods should experience.  This is Kamen Rider for the Super Famicom and I have huge doubts that this game will be worth spending a king's ransom on.  Let's see shall we?  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Kamen Rider SD: Shutsugeki!! Rider Machine! (Super Famicom) Review.

When it comes to getting Kamen Rider game released in English back in the day, we got the short end of the stick.  Out of the many Kamen Rider games released in Japan, we only saw so few.  We got a pretty decent arcade game (which you can read my review of that right here) and a very lousy Sega Mega CD game.  Oddly enough, the Sega Mega CD game got rated T in America.  Sure, most of the Kamen Rider games are lousy and I've reviewed a few of those stinkers here.  Some of them are surprisingly decent and should've been released outside of Japan.  This is one of those Kamen Rider games.  This is your captain speaking!  Today's gaming cruise ship voyage takes us to Kamen Rider SD: Shutugeki!! Rider Machine! A game released for the Nintendo Super Famicom.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Masked Riders Club Battle Race (Arcade). Review.



It's time for another Kamen Rider video game review.  All of the previous installments of my Kamen Rider game reviews were for Playstation One games.  This time however, I get to dive into the ultra hyper crazy exciting world of arcade games that never got a home port.  This is Masked Riders Club Battle Race.  Yes, this is one of the rare times where I get to used the Masked Rider name instead of Kamen Rider.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Kamen Rider 555 Episode 1: The Start of a Trip. Summary/Review


It's been a long, long time, but it's finally time for a new Kamen Rider TV episode review.  Only this time I'm only doing the first episode of this series as part of the "Kamen Rider Firsts" series where I look at the first episode of each (if not, most) of the Kamen Rider shows.  This time I take a trip back to 2003.  I turned 13, got stuck (and still am) on Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex's load screens, and watched MTV for the first time only to be wowed that TRL was a thing.  2003 is also when Kamen Rider 555 made its debut.  Now then, let's see what we are instore for.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full article.)

Charinko Hero (Nintendo Gamecube) Review.



For many ages now, the schoolyard kids have argued about which kid's superheroes could beat up the other kid's superheroes.  Goku Vs. Superman.  Spiderman Vs. Batman.  Angry Video Game Nerd Vs. Nostalgia Critic.  (Although I don't know why kids would be watching them.)  All these (and many more) have been the topic of many recess time debates.  Today I tackle a verses topic that got turned into a video game.  Ultraman Vs. Kamen Rider.  I wonder how this will turn out?  This is Charinko Hero for the Nintendo Gamecube.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Kamen Rider: The Bike Race (Playstation 1) Review. Simple Character 2000 Series Vol. 3



Finally! I am reviewing something from the greatest video game series of all time!  Yes, this is the Simple Series where you can get quality games for dirt cheap.  Okay, we are talking about a different kind of quality here.  A quality that's best described as being so bad that it's good.  There are a few exceptions though as some of the games in this series are really, really good.  Will this game be one of them?  This is Kamen Rider - The Bike Race and it is volume three of the Simple Character 2000 Series.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

The future had arrived a few weeks ago and that future is Kamen Rider Zero-One.  Not only is it a new season of Kamen Rider, it's also the first Kamen Rider of a new era.  We are now in the Reiwa Era, meaning that there's a lot of pressure for the show (not really, I just thought that part sounded cool).  Anyway, let's see if this first episode will be good or not in this exciting summary and review of the first episode of Kamen Rider Zero-One.  (Click o "Read More" to read the full article.)

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Volume One and Two DVD Review. (German Release)



It's always refreshing (and easy on the wallet) when any of the Kamen Rider shows get a home release outside of Japan.  Although, this isn't one of those times.  Today, I'll be covering some home media releases of one of the English Kamen Rider series.  Don't worry, it's not Masked Rider... Yet!  No, it's Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.  A show that should've had a complete DVD box set in America, but it didn't.  Instead, we got two volumes released on DVD in Germany.  Okay, they came out in Japan too but those releases are crazy expensive.  The German releases can be found for cheap and they are in English.  How are these releases?  Find out in this special edition of Kaiser Sensei's Kamen Rider Summary and Reviews.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review).
