In the same genre, I thought Grandia II on the Dreamcast was a much better game. At least the fighting was great. I recall the fighting in Skies of Arcadia mostly being tedious and annoying.

1080 was soooo goood....

Yeah well. It's not impossible that a game eventually gets pulled from the eshop. It has happened for plenty of games during the Xbox Live Arcade era. So it's not 100% safe just to keep waiting for a hypothetical physical release.

I hope this comment does not cause panic to those with FOMO. It's a pain buying every game twice, which seems to be the case in this time and era for those of us preferring physical games.

@TempOr

I recall beating Ruby all those years ago only for Emerald Weapon to wipe me out in mere seconds. I wish you good luck.

With ASSmodee involved we can only assume this version will be way worse than the now 10 year old Xbox Live Arcade version from Big Huge Games..... exactly as was the case with Carcassonne.

The ASSmodee team should walk in line with all of us shouting shame.

What you said about limited run is purely wrong. It's easy to get physical games. They are not printed in a limited number forcing you to act quick. They are open for pre-orders for usually at least two weeks. During that timeframe the quantity are unlimited.

@Donald_M

Wrong

Why would they think it was possible to cash in on toys-to-life for only one game? To buy things like that, they need to have a future purpose as well.

Hmm... I think it looks quite poor.

It reminds me of a Windows game from the mid 90's.

This is no different to a game of Fifa. Passing the ball around in the backline when you're ahead is the easiest thing to do.

@AlohaPizzaJack
Ohh yeah, that's what I want to see as well. Loved that series.

To be honest I think the game is poor on other platforms as well. Not in terms of appearance. It just does not seem a good racing game is all. The handling and the way the cars drift and turns is below par compared to a ton of other racing games past or present.

I'd much rather dust of the ol' Gamecube. So many great racing games on that platform. And if you're going to the basement in the first place, why not grab the Dreamcast to satisfy that racing itch while you're at it?

A strong pass

Great price for The Next Penelope

@oji

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has been out for a long time now.

I bet you mean X 2 ? I would love to see that too.

I love the Xenoblade series.

Monolith Soft is one of my aboslute favorite studios.

@Xaessya
I did succeed installing it though. My free 30 day trial ran out fighting the first enemy I encountered…. I think it was a bee. Ohh god, that game was horrible.

@Xaessya
Ohh yeah, now that you mention it It was indeed a world of pain just installing it. That entire PSO Online or whatever it was called was just an incredibly poor online service.

I remember buying FFXI. My first (and last) MMO experience and one of the worst games I've ever played. I'm not falling in the same trap again.

I'd like to see more of this.

@Valdney
You can wait a couple of months and play the Remake of FFVII - on a PS4 of course.

Battletoads

@BlackenedHalo
So, FF XV was initially intended to be worse? I thought the final product was weak, not alone the story which was horrible.

@Quinnsdaddy11
Thanks, but I find beat'em ups boring. I once thought I was the greatest at Street Fighter 2. I was back in the 90's... at least at my local grill. Competing online I got my ass handed to me, so I have permanently raised the white flag on this genre.

@earthinheritor

I'm about to give Stardew Valley a go. I think that's more my cup of tea, although I have no near enough time in the week for these type of games. Who knows... I might get run down in the street and have plenty of time afterwards.

@ricklongo

Don't forget office sims! Why work for money, when you can work for free in your spare time on a hand held console?

Looks very childish. Might be great....for a child.

Edit: So far 8 users were offended by this comment. If we reach 20 I will submit a new personal point of view for free!

A deal is a deal, but these all seem like bad deals. Quite expensive compared to other online stores, if you do a little research. Most of these games are always on offer somewhere.

Looks like a game that will be fun for half an hour then never to be touched again.

@peanutbuttercup
Has he tried viagra?

Id like to see the sequel to Darkest Dungeon from Red Hook.

Okay, so it was indeed possible to cancel the pre-order at fangamer.
What if this is a trap? It's strange the fangamer logo is present on this EU cover. Maybe it's a mistake and it's not re-leased at all.... like the EU release of Penguin Wars that never happened.

I know nothing about cars. Yet I feel the urge to try this one as I like manage sims.

That's total !"#¤... I just bought the US version!

I'm tired of having to act quick on these limited runs, just to get !"#¤ afterwards. Even paying for the same game multiple times over and over, when it's digital only to begin with. I can't help but feel raped. It shouldn't be like this!

@IceEarthGuard
Lets hope so. I'm just reminded of The Boy Who Cried Wolf

@RupeeClock
Sure, I'm just saying it's no guarantee.

@GrailUK
Uhh.. the long forgotten art of optimism. I remember practising this in my younger days before the way of the world crushed my spirit.

@GrailUK
Nothing happened is what happened.
It got an ESRB rating and everyone screamed "physical!". But that's not what it means, obviously.

This ESRB rating was done by Lumines as well. But that never made it physical. So why should this be any different? Are we clutching at straws here?

@ALinkToMyProfile
That's a lot of interesting information. What did you have for breakfast yesterday?

@geordie
I buy physical music all the time.

@RupeeClock

Thanks for the jap only game recommendations. I ended up purchasing all the ones you mentioned.

My OCD is not fond of missing out on a game cart of Mega Man Classic Collection volume 2. It's great that X volume 2 is now an option, but it sort of hurts missing the former even more.

I love games like these.

@RupeeClock
Cool, thanks a lot. I will order that right away. Anything else Japan only multilanguage I should grab while I'm at it?

@RupeeClock
Well, I don't think they should have made such a big deal out of revealing a game like Bloodstained. It only results in disappointment. I do plan getting it myself, but I don't think it's huge like Hollow Knight would have been or Stardew Valley.

So it wasn't Limited Run who were going to handle this one after all.

It was Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon.

Quite a letdown getting us all hyped for no reason.

@Anti-Matter

That Penguin Wars game. Any idea why it's retail only? Super weird it's not avaiable on the e-shop... and never has been. The game was released nearly a year ago I believe, if not more.

This ugly one obviously skipped it's vegetables.

Remake of Adventure of Link would be massive!
