Limited Run Games Releasing SNES Cartridge For Side-Scrolling RPG 'Dragon View'

I have never heard of this game in my life...

It's funny, the target demographic for stuff like this is probably not old enough to have been around when the SNES was in active promotion

This was published back in the day by everyone's favourite RPG developer, Kemco.

Turns out I already have both Drakkhen and Dragon View original Snes carts. ...I never really played them that much though.

I still need to get me a bunch of Snes exclusive RPGs such as Lufia...secondhand RPGs are always pricey...

It's far ahead of its predecessor, Drakkhen, but it's still a chore to get through.

@EarthboundBenjy I was wondering the other day if Lufia has a chance of a Switch port from Tengo Project, who released Wild Guns Reloaded, The Ninja Saviours and Pocky & Rocky.

I wonder if it'll work on the Retron 5. I have a repro copy, but it ended up not working on it or my original snes.

At this point part of the business model is to buy rights to dirt cheap IPs that sound exotic to shelf collectors; put them on some cheap plastic and bundle with a few paper nick knacks; charge upfront sixty dollars and finally get around to shipping them out in a year.

All of this crap won't be able to be given away in 15 years time.

It's a good RPG but plays nothing like Drakkhen even though it pretends to be its sequel. Drakkhen plays more like Dungeons and Dragons while this plays similar to Ys III. The only thing it has in common with Drakkhen is the overworld otherwise the gameplay mechanics are not the same and you control one character instead of a party this time.

@Matty1988 ,
I think the target is more than likely to have children and the money to burn …
Maybe something between 35 and 50 y o ?

Is this sponsored content?

This is one of the only SNES RPG carts I dont own, I've never even seen it in person.

Ehhh I tried to play thru this on Evercade and I’d say I don’t love it. I also have it in polymega but haven’t tried.

I actually regret selling this back in the day. It’s a decent if a bit too easy action RPG. I doubt they’d fix it but there was a way in the game to use a key too early and not be able to proceed further.

It's an alright game, certainly better than Drakkhen. I've just never had the will to play all the way through.

I want a PAL release that doesn't have to come from over the Sea

@EarthboundBenjy Hop on over to eBay and see how much your copy of Dragon View is worth!

This color for the cart is ugly as sin, but it's nice seeing a very rare and expensive SNES game getting a reproduction.

The boxart reminds me that I'd rather be playing pinball right now...

@BloodNinja
Oh my. I've had this thing for years and I never even realised it was so rare. Well I'm definitely keeping ahold of it in that case.

@EarthboundBenjy Exactly! Good find

I thought 'Dragon View' was a day time talk show.

When I played Drakkhen on my snes on its release I loved it, despite its flaws, to death.
The (huge) realtime 3D open world is awesome. I enjoyed exploring it. afair it even had a day and night circle.
respect to Kemco for pulling that of on a snes in 1991.

I've got this on my snes mini. It's pretty good but a bit vague at times. 7/10.
