With it being Throw Back Thursday on Twitter, the NaNaOnSha games mentioned on Retronauts, and the Tweet above. I play for the game, but I stay for the soundtrack. Then came an obscure game that didn’t get a release in the US, Vib Ribbon… Then came a sequel called Um Jammer Lammy.

NaNaOnSha were the guys behind Parappa the Rapper, the first big hit in the Rhythm genre. Even though I got into DDR first, I would eventually work my way through playing other rhythm games such as Beat Mania and the NaNaOnSha games. As much as I wanted to stay faithful to the Big N, Nintendo didn’t have any rhythm games, yet. It was mainly the Rhythm game genre that got me into the PS1. But that wasn’t the only thing that kept me playing the PlayStation. As I said in a previous thread, the way I got into Sony PlayStation after my decade long Nintendo fan boy-ism was through Dance Dance Revolution.
