@Ghost_of_Hasashi "The last time Monster World IV was included for western audience was on the Sega Genesis Mini and before that was included as part of Nintendo Wii Virtual Console's Hanabi Festival title, and before that it was also on the Sega Channel just like Mega Man: The Wily Wars, Golden Axe 3, Zero Wing, and Pulseman."
The first official English release was on PS3 (not sure about XBox360).
Either go for 100% completion or don't bother, like some mentioned. It won't be easy, but it's the only way to appreciate the gameplay (and it's one of the best platformers IMO).
Yoshi's Woolly World is also very underrated. I hope it gets a Switch port.
The guy got taste. I mean his favourite Playstation game is SotN. I've been waiting for any RPG from Camelot, being a huge Shining Force fan who also enjoyed the Golden Sun games.
@glaemay Always good to see another Shining Force fellow fan. I believe they have been making the Mario Golf games (although I don't know if they have made one recently).
Shining Force 1&2 are included in the Genesis Collection for anyone interested. Don't get discouraged by the Strategic battles. It plays more like a traditional RPG than the post-FFT SRPG offerings.
@Moroboshi876 Actually, the new DQ1-2-3 ports are mainly based on the mobile versions. In the case of DQ1 and DQ2, I would say it's an improvement over the SNES remakes, but the DQ3 mobile port lacks the monsters animations found in the SNES remake during battles:
The Englisn support mentioned here is for the Asian verion, not Japanese. If anyone placing an order, get the Asian version, or make sure the Japanese version will also feature English before placing an order for it.
It's a great way to standardize progress for game completionists and discover secrets that you may otherwise not know about. Let's say you plan to 100% a metroidvania game. To what extent do you consider the game 100% completed? Covering 100% of the map? Collecting all items? Completing the bestiary? Viewing all endings? ... Etc etc. Surely you can do all this on your own, but it's nice to have a standard checklist for all gamers to follow in a game, and gauge their progress during the play time. Most good games have a well-designed list, some don't.
Nintendo usually have their own in-game completion list, but it would be nice to have it available for all games that already support achievements / trophies.

Re: Feature: Best SNES RPGs
Lufia II is criminally underrated.

Re: Emulation Expert M2 Expects To Collaborate With Sega Again In The Future
Shining Force 3 is the game(s) I want to see the most.
Other than that, I would love to have Phantasy Star 2 ~ 4 with the same enhancements the original got. Skies of Arcadia would also be great too.

Re: Rumour: Sony Could Be Raiding Konami For Castlevania, Metal Gear And Silent Hill IP
@BanjoPickles I don't share the same sentiment, but kudos for recognizing Contra SS and 4. They are my favourites to 1cc in the series.
Re: Poll: What Other Wii U Games Do You Want To See On Switch?
Yoshi's Woolly World is so underrated and deserves a chance on Switch. Other than that, I'm hoping for the Zelda games.
W101 needs a lot of tweakings if it ever comes to Switch IMO.

Very underrated game that deserves to be on a more popular system.

Re: Dotemu "Honored" To Team Up With Square Enix For Remastered Version Of Final Fantasy VIII
Lizard Cube are the developers of Wonder Boy's Dragon Trap remake and SoR4. DotEmu are the publishers.
