NES Works Gaiden 76: Solaris / Tax Avoiders / Cubicolor
🕑 Added 2025-01-08 13:16:45 +0000 UTCFirst: avoid this episode if you have a sensitivity to strobing effects. Solaris goes way overboard with them.
Second: you're watching the forbidden version of this video. The final public release will have a different media context clip at the beginning. Yes, I finally got a copyright notice (not a warning) on one of those opening context clips that makes this video ineligible for monetization after years of splicing them in. I don't think YouTube cares that I dropped in a few seconds of The Color of Money starring Paul Newman and Tom Cruise, but they do care that said clip includes Phil Collins playing faintly in the background.
I can't believe Phil did me dirty like this. Top 10 anime betrayals.
Speaking of Top 10 anime betrayals, that's the whiplash you'll get here. This episode goes from the sublime Solaris to the utter stinker that is Tax Avoiders in a matter of seconds with nary an apology. At least we get to end this episode with an existential discourse on what truly counts as a collectible official release for a console with no central governing authority thanks to Cubicolor? All in all, this episode contains multitudes. A land of contrasts, if you will.

Crazy that 3 seconds of a song can lead to a warning. 😖

Solaris looks incredible. A fantastic example of playing to your platform's strengths.

I’m surprised Namcot’s Star Luster wasn’t mentioned in comparison with Solaris. Seems the closest match to a console Star Raiders experience. Good video! Solaris is such an interesting swan song.
