Retro Collection of Manga Titles Coming To 3DS in Japan

Oh maaan. Evertime I read the headline and see the word "coming" I get excited ..and then right after the "in Japan" ruins it -.- lol

"Heavily altered" or not, I'd kill Kuririn to get a copy of Dragon Power.

"Heavily altered" or not, I'd kill Kuririn to get a copy of Dragon Power.

I would prefer Retro Virtual Console titles rather than collections, especially if it's for the NES or SNES. The 3DS needs the SNES for games like Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, EarthBound, and F-Zero.

Not what I expected but certainly interesting. Will never make it over here, though. Just wish Viz would pick up Saint Seiya and put it on their iPad/Phone app.

Namco Bandai comes out with yet another licensed title we'll never see, lol.

Did they forget that they have their own IP (yeah, I know we're getting that Pac-Man platformer, but I figured they'd have at least announced a SoulCalibur, or another arcade compilation or Ace Combat by now)

Saint Seiya is also immensely popular in Spain, France, Italy, Mexico and South America (under the alternate name "Knights of the Zodiac"). That said, the two Saint Seiya games released for the Famicom suck.

Whoa, Saint Seiya? That better come to the Americas! I used to be a huge (and I mean HUGE) fan of the series as a kid.

When I saw this post, I thought it meant that a manga reader was coming to the 3ds in Japan.

That would've been cool

Saint Seiya looks a lot like Ronin Warriors

@SphericalCrusher Probably because Ronin Warriors was riding Saint Seiya's popularity...

@SphericalCrusher: both series came out around the same time, but even though they look similar on the outside, there are vast differences between them. Don't confuse the two :3

Coming to Japan only, F*** you west!

Couldn't they...just put these on VC instead of a cart?

The saint has always been a dream to play in English. Yes, please...

Ahh. I just have not heard of Saint Seiya before. I knew it and Ronin Warriors were quite different but didn't know they came out around the same time. LOVE Ronin Warriors, so definitely about to look into some of this. Been watching Cardfight Vanguard.

I would love for this to come west. I usually just read my manga on the net unless i really like it then I'll pick up a copy at a bookstore if it's available. But I'd love to be able to have Saint Seiya on my 3DS.

I wouldn't mind trying out a Saint Seyia game. Even if it might suck. I've had my share of Dragon Ball games. Burnt out on those a long time ago. As for Sakigate Otokojuku, I would love to read that manga. It would be nice if Viz brought that over here but I highly doubt that.

Dragon Power is one of the most frustrating games from my childhood, but hell, I'd buy it on 3DS, sure.

Hnnng, Saint Seiya want!

@Kaboom
well its out there on nes

So retro I could buy them.

Go! Go! Ackman??! That Super Famicom game is KILLER! Thanks for reminding me I still have to pick up the trilogy, NL!

@Kaboom I think they're like 5 bucks, mang. You mean that awful old NES game, yeah?

I really hope these come to the West too!

@CanisWolfred Viz do publish Saint Seiya they started doing it back in 2003 (i have them you see) so if they never released it on their iPad app you could always buy the proper mangas

@FullbringIchigo I'm not buying 28 physical Manga at $10 or more a Volume. I have neither the space nor the cash. It's either Digital or bust for me.

@CanisWolfred well you could always read them online if you have no choice
