This Month in Retro July 2023

Hello all and welcome back to This Month in Retro! After a short vacation, we are back to see what July 1995 has to offer. And I'm going to be honest with you straight from the start... not much really. I usually have a random wheel decide what year to talk about, but surprisingly July is a month that in my first few results always ended up coming short. This month was cursed from the start as Nintendo decided to release an unholy artifact by the name of the Virtual Boy in Japan. Not that I will be talking about it though, as all of the five release games did make it's way west a few months later. Maybe once we talk about August in 1995, then I will give it slightly more attention.

Fear not though, I still have a selection of games to talk about for you! The western side was just extremely limited in choices, so the eastern side takes priority today--and the SNES specifically. I had like seven systems to choose from, but the SNES just towered over everything in terms of releases. As usual, I will be talking about the legacy the games have left behind, the reception from both critics and players, as well as an achievement set if applicable. So without further ado, let's check out some games!
