Review Drop Off (Virtual Console / TurboGrafx-16)
Brave five rounds of haunting, nightmarish dreams
Drop Off is a paddle and ball game like Atari’s classic, Breakout. There is nothing bad about making a game like Breakout, games like Arkanoid did an excellent job of just that. The innovations in that game made for an addictive game experience. It’s a shame that the same cannot be said of Drop...

Bloody Wolf drops off
Europeans might think they've got it tough with two more games set to leave the Virtual Console this month, but North America's VC just thinned out too. Turbografx-16 games Bloody Wolf, Drop Off and Silent Debuggers have all been removed from the service in North America, and will be taken off Japan's servers tomorrow. At t

Brave five rounds of haunting, nightmarish dreams in this take on the classic arcade puzzler. To save his dearly beloved from the malicious demon that controls her dreams and holds her captive, our brave hero plunges himself into the nightmare to vanquish this evil foe.

I really liked this. It is quite different from any ball and paddle game I have ever played before. I played the hell out of this game on my Turbo Express and I am looking forward to finally playing it on a big screen. This (along with Devil's Crush) is right at the top of my VC want list and I will download both the day they are released!
It has rather nice music though, going by that video!
IMO, the WORST Breakout style game has to be Alleyway for the original GB. Utterly devoid of any interesting gameplay elements or level design. Drop Off looks interesting, but it hasn't surfaced on Hudson's VC list for Europe yet.
Quite a nice game, really.
Why was the music/sounds in that video from Magical Drop II? http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/neo-reviews/md2/md2.html
Doesn't look TOO bad, although I won't be buying it.
Good call on the music. That's where it's from alright. I couldn't get a track off of the game so I just "borrowed" on. It was a last resort, but it was that or nothing. : )
So according to the video, this is the first VC game to actually have testicles in it?
uhhggggg... this looks absolutely terrible... thanks nintendo.
This may be due to nostalgy, but I really like that game. The music is really simple and repetitive, but pretty good. The story is also quite interresting for a paddle game. If you are into this kind of game or feel intrigued by it, you should give it a try; you may like it.
Woah Woah Woah, at the end of that video, Is it just me or did that lion thing have massive balls? o_O
I love those cute cat bosses
For anyone wondering about the Majical Drop music you only have to look as far as the developer to get that...
Data East made both games. Looks like they recycled the only good thing this game had going for it
It doesn't look THAT bad...just weird. I won't be downloading it though.
This game reminded me of a Breakout style game on the NES called "Arkanoid".
Chris made a good point, the lion at the end of the clip had big, old man balls O.o. It`s disgustingly funny....
It's no lion...it's a tanooki. A Japanese Racoon creature.
The worst boxart ever
