    The video gives us a glimpse at early UI and the like for these games but some of them look pretty different. Gurumin, for example, has some kind of quick time event that plays out when attacking enemies, which is not in the final game. Here is a link to the catalog: archive.org/details/falc...

This one has some great platforming and combat mechanics and a cute story as well. Aside from some camera issues this game is fun. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

    Bring back Themes for the Nintendo Switch 2 then I'll be Capital E Excited. I want my console to be a device of colorful gaming whimsy again, I'm not joking. 3ds was the peak of self expression. Miis, sharing your game on streetpass. Gurumin theme. It had it all.

    27. I wouldn't call it underrated, but definitely underexplored, Xanadu Next is a great game with a lot of depth, just a bit more challenging than your usual fare. Gurumin is definitely underrated, classic banger.

    (looks it up) Oh wow, Gurumin was the first Falcom game directed by Takayuki Kusano, who would later direct Ys The Oath in Felghana, Tokyo Xanadu, and the entirety of the Trails of Cold Steel arc, plus Trails into Reverie. ...Well, everyone's gotta start somewhere before they get REALLY good.

    Gurumin is a cozy action game that I consider a hidden gem from Falcom’s library. It had an old PC release and was also on the PSP and 3DS. Nowadays you can just simply play it on Steam for dirt cheap. It’s well worth your time!
