The Choaniki talk!

[Zubiac666]

Introduction:
Many people play it but the fewest would admit it.
The choanikis are surely one of the most disturbing game-series ever.
Some say they are from gays for gays;some say they are great pieces of VG-art and others say they are just weird!
but all of these people agree about something: They ARE something special,
something different

Let's have a talk bout this weird series.
Post your thoughts,your experiences etc.
Talk bout the little (offensive)details hidden in the games.

Let me start:
I played the PSX version back when everyone had a PS and I was shocked.
Not only that it was a really bad shooter,NO,cause of the many (homo-)sexual
thingys in the game!
Now I only have the Super Famicom version at home and first time I played it I was (again) shocked! Why?
Cause they made a (not too bad) beat'n fly'n up out of it!
I played it a bit today and thought why the heck did they do this?
Why beat'em up instead of shoot'em up? All other(as far as I know) choanikis
are shooters!What was the reason for this desicion?
My theory:
I think the developers knew/know that they aren't the best programmers(*looking at PS/Saturn choaniki-shooters*) and they knew that the SFC has a crap/slow CPU.So they thought instead of making a (hell of a)slowdownish shooter,they make a beat'n fly'n up!

Speaking of developers:
What other games did they develop?Did they even produce other games?

and what game is the choaniki version for wonderswan?

I found one of the funniest reviews(SFC Choaniki) I ever read in my life:

Game Plot: This should serve as an example of why you should not download files from sites in Poland, especially when the file is described with a string of text similar to this: "sjavjenky rommy... boljay noxwob. bolshi fight za homosex (!!!)". This game is quite literally the single most concentrated mass of gay that I have ever in my life encountered. It's like a huge, flaming gay star exploded and collapsed in on itself, sucking itself down into a black, gay hole. The incredibly flagrant homosexuality in this game eclipses that of Gundam Wing: Endless Duel by several billion orders of magnitude. Endless Duel had intermission screens with the main characters in loose-fitting tank-tops. This game has large, oiled men in thongs with fairy wings dancing on flowers. It has huge, shadowy men thrusting their pelvises at the screen and characters whose combat moves include such powerhouse attacks as the "bend over and present your bare buttocks to your opponent, who happens to be a hugely muscled bald man wearing a loincloth." I don't think there really is a plot to this game. If there is, I really, really, really don't want to know it.

It pains me to say it, but I really want to try the Saturn version of this game. What can I say? I'm cho-curious.

I remember having a discussion about this game on the Zsnes board. Some guy was trying to convince me that it wasn't gay. I beg to differ.

cho-curious, nice!

I've played only this version (Saturn) and its a real unique gaming experience, you try to make sense of it (not just the gay stuff) and you can't, just prepare to be amused

Though in actuality you can argue that it can possibly be anti-gay as for instance the second major boss being the pyramid of barely dressed men with the coach blowing his whistle, you have to blast the shit out of them, not too alternative lifestyle friendly if you ask me, you are killing icons of gayness at every turn.....

for those who're interested.
Here u can download a (saturn-) gameplay-video(and lots of other saturn vids as well) of choaniki:

Now,that's what I call sick.

I bought (and paid up the ass..HA!) for two copies of this game for the Duo. I got one complete one, and I bought one SEALED complete one about 1 1/2 or 2 years ago. I also own the SFC version complete.

The game is definitely GAY, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun as hell. Fuck what everyone else says. It is extremely unique, and has very good graphics (note, I didn't say "pretty" graphics, heh heh). There's certainly some gay parts of the game, but it isn't ALL gay, most of it is just bizarre as hell, like, "did I just see what I thought I just saw?" or "what EXACTLY is that thing?!" or "What on earth were the developers thinking?!"

Then a dick flies through the air...sigh....
