POCKY AND ROCKY 2 SNES BOX ART SERIES
While the first game had a lot of the charm of the second, we’re here to focus solely on the second due to some innovation of the series gameplay. But sadly, few think of either of the SNES Pocky & Rocky games, because it seems they were harder to find than a NES Classic. Okay, maybe the cool kids will think of Axelay or something. Or perhaps Phalanx if for no other reason than the insane cover art. What do you think of when you think about 2-D shoot-em-ups on the Super Nintendo? I’d say most people think about Super R-Type or Gradius III. We won’t be using the grab bag format this time, but rather focusing on one game in particular: Natsume’s Pocky & Rocky 2.Īnd it’s a great time to take a look at this classic, with Pocky & Rocky Reshrined coming soon, (which I am NOT going to get caught flat-footed on like I did with Actraiser Renaissance). However, there is a reason this game was held out of all of the SNEStember/tober articles thus far, and that reason was to feature it here instead.

I’m not quite done doing SNES versions of all my feature article series though the dust on this one was mighty thick.
