The story this time around is… Hold on, I think I need to look this up. Kiki Kaikai was one such character dug up from obscurity and slapped onto a portable cartridge, giving us this game in 2001. It had been 7 years since Pocky & Rocky 2 had been released on SNES, but a lot of early Gameboy Advance games were digging deep into retro libraries to revive characters who never made the leap into 3D. Pocky & Rocky with Becky, on the other hand… A lot of the mainstay enemies have made a return.(Image source: ) WITH? JUST USE A COMMA! While we never got very far because I was a scrub, the time I spent with my mother and scenes from the game itself stuck in my mind for over a decade before I looked into re-acquiring it. Way, way back in my youth, my mother and I spent some time renting Pocky & Rocky on the SNES, and playing co-op. An odd inclusion considering the SNES titles that it followed up on were omitted from release, but, okay, sure, I never played it, so let’s give it a go. While digging up details on some of the games I know less about, I encountered the fact that the sole Gameboy Advance game in the series, Kiki Kaikai Advance - otherwise localized as the bizarrely named Pocky & Rocky with Becky - was released on the Wii U’s virtual console. I’ve been revisiting the Kiki Kaikai series as part of research for another article I wrote.
