Piko Interactive - The garbage collectors of licenses

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that there’s a company around by the name of Piko Interactive. They have a lot of games they’ve licensed and slapped onto various consoles, services and plug-and-plays.

Some highlights:

Glover

They’ve licensed the beloved(?) N64 3D platformer and made a slapdash port of it that has a lot of problems.

Barkley Hoops: Shut Up and Jam!

They took the classic(?) basketball game and replaced Charles Barkley with… Joe Hoops.

His face literally comes from the first Google Images result for “angry black man.”

Tyrannosaurus Tex

A first person shooter for Game Boy Color that’s way too ambitious for its own good that they acquired unfinished and decided to button up and release.

just LOVE that walking-into-a-room “yo wassup”-pose of that robot(?) in the background of that cover, such strong auteur-vibes in it :kissing_closed_eyes: :ok_hand:
