Ageless classic, game developers should be forced to play it from start to finish before being able to produce anything. Truly top tier stuff that shows just how much it was possible to do with "only" 16 bits.
@nik1470 It was the same for me, It was also my birthday money on the stakes. But I did played Game Boy's "Metroid II Return of Samus" a few years before, so it was just impossible to resist. The game does get very easy half way into it if you disregard the 3 hour "I wanna see Samus in a bikini" time limit and go after every item, you become a walking colossus in no time.
Yep, I'm gonna buy every game they talked about here today. And hope to hear some western release news about "Yakuza 1&2 HD" heading out for Wii U in Japan.
AVP ate a lot of coins when I was younger. Truly Capcom is sitting on a gold mine of classic games in their CPS hardware range. But will they get the linceses to re-release them? I was happy they managed to make it so with "Dungeons & Dragons", so I keep hoping for ome "Area 88" // "UN Squadron" love along the way... and "Strider ]|[", of course.
@nik1470 I also had the gigantic boxed PAL edition that was sold in Portugal. But since the guide was in German (which I hadn't learned back in 1994), ended up digging pretty much the entire game by myself and some friends.
Damo beat me to it. Come on kids, use your noggin like we did back in the 90's. No Gamefaqs back then! It's not your fault, tough. I blame society and even the industry in particular with all this "casual" hand holding nonsense. You are ruining the whole "discovering for yourselves" experience. But don't give up! I hope you do get to the end of the game and appreciate such a masterpiece.
I still have my huge gigantic SNES card box with the German only playing guide and a lot of printed paper text only Portuguese translation that shipped to stores over here. In fact, it was because of the huge box I bought the game instead of a "Super Game Boy" since international SNES magazines always arrived about a month later, so I didn't even had read any reviews of the game. Best SNES accidental purchase ever!
The original was awesome! Hope System 3 can still deliver the goods.
@datamonkey "Speedball 2" would be oh so awesome! Btw "New Zealand Story" is from Taito so I'm sure the Megadrive or PC Engine version might show up some day. Maybe even the original arcade version... I miss Tiki!
"F-ZERO GO FAST!" Volume 2 - Age of N64 " is out! Hope you like chiptune flavour! Share & enjoy! https://cloudpt.pt/link/6da78989-3567-48b2-a974-7530ef3c0705/Shiryu-F-ZEROGOFAST%21-Vol2-AgeofN64.zip
I fondly remember Game Cube's "Day of Reckoning" 1 and 2. I even go far back as to N64 "Virtual Pro Wrestling" series. I don't really mind not having a WWE on Wii U, I would much prefer a decent wrestling game without any license that would be fun with 4 players. Even a 2D "Fire Pro Wrestling" update would be awesome.
I will pick it up, but I won't enjoy it nowhere as I did on my original playtrough on the 3DS since I know what will happen next at every corner. So Capcom gets my money (again) and I get one of the finest entries of the series to play on my big screen TV. win/win.
Konami is way, WAY behind the mastery they showed in the 16 bit age. Just take a look at their Super Nintendo works and compare them to nowadays. Those were the true "risk taking" days.
I loved the original! Had no clue why were bringing it to the 3DS, I thought they had taken their IP to other platforms for good. I would certainly love to see more Ronimo support on current Nintendo hardware.
I wish he had been more successful with his latest projects, I really like his work. I also found it terrible how his latest opinion on "Wolfenstein" got so out of control. I wish him all the best in the future of his career.
Things have been stirred up locally because we have at a local retro shop a €500 mint complete copy of "Final Fight 3" PAL for SNES. Just wait till they get a look at this...
"Wii Music" is a directly responsible for my video game arrangement/remix part of my music hobby. It was from playing "Wii Music" I got the idea for my first arrangement/remix project back in 200: the music of "F-Zero" using a NES soundfont I had laying around. I haven't stopped since!
"F-ZERO GO FAST! Volume 1 - Age of SNES" out now! Enjoy: https://cloudpt.pt/link/997aad1c-9f6a-4af7-875a-0a4fb8b9ab28/Shiryu-F-ZEROGOFAST%21-Vol1-AgeofSNES.zip
I am more worried with the fact that local store has yet to receive any shipment with the Wii U version of the game. I even had it pre ordered... nothings sacred any more.
