![]() Unlike your standard Cotton games, though, Panorama Cotton is a 3D rail shooter similar to games like HyperZone on the SNES. However, the lack of a translation really sucks for people who cannot read Japanese, so their ability to follow along as they play the game is immediately hindered by this problem (Possibly even an oversight). The story is fun and very Cotton-like, which is exactly the kind of story you want from such a silly franchise. From there, Silk and Cotton set off on their new adventure. ![]() When Cotton discovers that someone is burning Willows, she vows that she won’t let it continue. However, she quickly spits it out, angry and disgusted. Not stopping for even a moment to hear Silk’s story, Cotton begins to eat the burnt Willow. Silk carries the burnt Willow far away, but before she can dispose of it, Cotton appears suddenly and snatches it from her. Before doing anything else, Silk immediately decides that she needs to get rid of the burnt Willow in the castle first. Apparently, monsters north of the kingdom have been burning any Willow they see. Perplexed, Silk and Knit deduce that a burnt Willow which recently turned up in the castle garden is responsible for the Queen’s odd behavior. She rides off on an animal called “Pinky” to save the day, and disappears. Later, the Queen reveals that she believes that the world is falling into chaos, and that she is the only one who can save it. For those wondering, Panorama Cotton‘s story begins when Silk’s sister Knit comes to tell her that Queen Velvet has started saying things that do not make any sense. The scrolling text in the cutscenes is still in Japanese, which makes things hard to follow if you do not know the language. One sad thing I noticed right out of the gate is that Panorama Cottons‘s story has not been translated. ININ Games has basically ported this exact version of the game with a few additions to give it more modern value while still respecting its original feel and gameplay. The success of the Cotton series in the arcades begged for a console version, and this unique 3D version is what Mega Drive owners got in 1994. For starters, Panorama Cotton was originally designed by SUCCESS and published by SUNSOFT for the SEGA Mega Drive system in Japan, otherwise known as the SEGA Genesis.
