I mean, yeah, I understand the idea behind it. Why is that? Why has it been so difficult for Toho to find a developer that can really do something with the IP? Why are we limiting cinema’s biggest beast to the smallest screens possible? Finally, why is it when a majority of Godzilla games are made, we play as Godzilla?
#GODZILLA PS4 PS3#
The last console game for the kaiju to see a worldwide release was 2014’s Godzilla for the PS3 and PS4. He’s all but been relegated to shotty mobile titles like the idle clicker Godzilla Defense Force, Run Godzilla, and the recently released Godzilla: Destruction. Since then, it’s been pretty dire for Gojira. And following two inferior sequels, the franchise bottomed out with Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash for the Nintendo DS. It wasn’t until Godzilla: Destroy All Monster Melee hit in 2002, long after my friend and I drifted apart, that I would finally be able to experience what is commonly known as the “good” Godzilla game.īut that was nearly 20 years ago. Godzilla saw more than a dozen outings during the ‘90s across a wide array of hardware, and not everything made it overseas. Well, at least the ones that we could play.

Starting with Godzilla: Monster of Monsters! for the NES, we were continually disappointed by big green’s games. We also rented the video games, but those hit decidedly different for us. There would be many weekend sleepovers with VHS-dubs of all the classics, watching Godzilla fight everybody from the Thing to the Smog Monster to Mechagodzilla. We just saw a giant lizard stomping shit, and it was the coolest thing ever. The American cut, not the superior, Raymond Burr-less The Return of Godzilla on which it’s based. My first exposure to that radioactive lizard was over at his house, watching Godzilla 1985. He also introduced me to so many of the things I love today, like ham and cheese Hot Pockets, orange soda, potato chips on sandwiches, Super Smash Bros., and a giant beast known as Godzilla. Our friendship was always tricky (he was my best friend, but I wasn’t his), but growing up, he helped me come out of my shell. As a sheltered and awkward child growing up, I really have to hand it to my childhood friend Tristan.
