Game Informer's month-long celebration of co-op gaming once again extends to Replay, our silly show that revisits gaming's past. In this episode, Atlus' Aram Jabbari joins Joe Juba, Tim Turi, and I for a fun look back at Natsume's co-op action game Pocky & Rocky. Playing this title ends up being a learning experience for our team. We can now identify the difference between a raccoon and a Japanese raccoon dog on sight. Sit back and enjoy the episode, folks, and be sure to stick around for a second segment that explores a long lost Sega Genesis relic.

Oh my God! I always wanted to know the name of that game! I played the Japanese version at that time. :) Good times!

Yay Aram! :D

I didn't expect such an article about this game. I really loved it, especially its setting in mythological Japan!

I knew it by the name Kikikaikai however.

I knew Aram would record a replay this week too, anybody like Time Commando for replay? ;/

This game reminds me so much of Legend of the Mystical Ninja for the snes, which itself was an awesome co-op game.

"Hammer Smashed Face"

by TheodoricFriede Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 09:34 AM

This may well have been the best replay you guys have ever done.

Seriously, everything Aram is on is pure gold.
by Azirik Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 09:35 AM

Everyone's favorite guy, Aram, is back again! Hire Aram, have him make games for GI now, and be on every replay.
by Boyzby Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 09:46 AM

Aw yeah! If Aram is in this episode, it's gotta be fantastic! ^_^

Oh wow i used to play pocky and rocky all the time in the SNES. I for the life of me have no idea how I came across that game or why I picked it up, but I remember having a blast with it. I remember that the difficulty spikes big time though in later levels.
