in other really weird games i got into thanks to the emulation scene, there’s Gourmet Sentai Bara Yarou, which is a beat ‘em up for the SNES with a vibe that comes off as very european comic influenced, and goes for a really bizarre aesthetic instead of trying to make everything feel tough. one of the unique mechanics of the game is that, stage to stage, you pick up a bunch of food… that you can’t actually eat. no, it’s ingredients for between stages, where you combine them into various dishes for your robot chef to make into a meal which will THEN have various status effects on you.there’s also a 'pose’ button that any character can use, for any reason, though it does not do anything but pose. truth in advertising.also, there’s a boss that’s just a giant robot tanuki with giant robot tanuki balls. -- source link
