Once upon a time, in the hallowed days of the mid-90s, there was a show on USA called Up All Night. Up All Night aired, as you might expect, in the dead of night and was little more than truly crap movies – typically violenceploitation, sexploitation, pretty much any kind of movie that might end in ploitation – hosted by Gilbert Gottfried. It was always a special treat when you’d drunkenly channel surf your way into Gottfried surrounded by bikini clad women and telling you how you were about to watch C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D. Over the last twenty years of saving princesses and whatnot in the wee hours, I’ve come to realize that there are many, many games that fit the Up All Night formula. All they’re missing is a shrill comedian.
Dear reader, let me be your Gilbert Gottfried!
Tonight on Up All Night, 61FPS presents P.N. 03, an all but forgotten piece of trash from Capcom starring Vanessa Z. Schneider.
Vanessa’s a cyborg or bounty hunter or something, the story isn’t especially clear. Or existent. There’s no explanation offered up for why Vanessa is literally dancing her way through Ikea shooting robots using metallic lingerie. But who needs context when something’s this awesome? P.N. 03’s not uncommon in bargain bins across the land so access shouldn’t be too difficult. Next time you get home from karaoke at 3am and think, hey, I need exploding robots and ass-shaking, this one will satisfy.
