Gley Lancer for Genesis/Mega Drive is a lot more than just an amusing mistranslation

After going through theValisseries and finding them fascinating but not especially great, I kind of lumpedGley Lancerin there with them since they’re all part of a care package Retro-Bit sent me. I figured it would be a niche title that was forgotten because it wasn’t especially noteworthy. That is not the case.Gley Lanceris beyond rad. What’s Gley?

Naturally, The Pokemon Company is going to capitalize on some of that love with some new toys....

But it does show off our tatted-up boy swimming, which pretty immediately threw me back toShadow of the Colossusand how much the Leviathan fucked me up/paralyzed me with fear....

No excuse. Utter nincompoopery on my part. I apologize for my total lack of reading comprehension in this instance. An actual story that makes sense now follows.] The Ouya team has announced a Kickstarter matching scheme for its mildly acclaimed Android console....
