I wish the Suikoden games would get ported to modern consoles. I never got the chance to play them during the PS1 era, and I really do not want to pay what people are charging for them on eBay to play the PS1 versions now…
It will probably still release before Advance Wars...
...but yeah. There are so many strategy RPGs coming out this year that this doesn't bother me a whole ton. I am looking forward to this game, and I don't mind waiting longer for a more polished product.
@SmaggTheSmug The Capcom D&D beat-em-ups are great. Have you ever played Dragon’s Crown (PS3 & Vita). If you dig Mystara you would likely really enjoy Dragon’s Crown.
@FishyS The original Baldur’s Gate on PC was one of the best games of all time. Many aspects of it haven’t aged all that well, but it is still worth a play (especially for fans of D&D).
In my opinion, the Dark Alliance games were pretty mediocre even when first released, so I wasn’t super interested in revisiting them now.
I prefer Medieval settings over all else, so I will probably save that one for last. I might do prehistoric first as the look of that one intrigues me.
@Arawn93 I actually haven’t minded the voice acting in Triangle too much. The in-battle voice acting in Octopath got rather tiresome after a while though.
Harvestella (or Final Farmtasy as I have been seeing it called) is the only farming game that has caught my interest since way back when Harvest Moon came out on SNES. Although it is probably hard to put Harvestella neatly in the category of farming sim since it looks very combat heavy.

Best thing I have had the pleasure of reading today. 🤣
@Fizza Well, to be fair, sometimes Netflix can Netflix pretty dang Netflix. But yeah, there are a lot of instances where they Netflix a big, steaming pile of Netflix.
I wanted to get the original on Gameboy Advance back when it first released but for whatever reason never did. To this day I have never played any of these and would definitely buy ports or remasters of them.
@Fizza I really liked Octopath, I LOVE Triangle Strategy, and I am really looking forward to LIVE A LIVE and DQ III HD-2D. I am pretty sure I will purchase every HD-2D game they release. IMO they are the prettiest looking games ever made.

@Daniel36 Heck yeah! The good ol’ bag-o-junk inventory system was awesome!
Re: World Of Anterra Looks Like Skyrim On Super NES, Coming To Switch In 2023
Visually this reminds me more of Ultima 7 than anything else. It looks great!
Re: Evercade EXP Handheld Will Come Bundled With 18 Classic Capcom Titles
@RushDawg Yeah, I know, but I am one of those weirdos that likes owning thing as opposed to paying for subscriptions. 🙂
Re: Evercade NXT Handheld Will Come Bundled With 18 Classic Capcom Titles
Breath of Fire makes this very tempting. I still have my SNES copy, but being able to play it in handheld would be awesome.
Re: Konami Teases New Game In Beloved Series For Tokyo Game Show
@Daniel36 I was not aware of that. I will have to add this to my already lengthy list of reasons I regret selling my PS3 8 years ago...

Re: Poll: What Do You Want To See From This Week's Splatoon 3 Nintendo Direct?
I want them to pull the rug out from under us and have the whole Direct be about more and more sweet, sweet JRPGs.

Re: Nightdive Apparently Has "A Few More" FPS Remasters On The Way
@Baler It was called Marathon, and it was very good. I would definitely buy a remaster of that.
Re: Nightdive Apparently Has "A Few More" FPS Remasters On The Way
@blackknight77 Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t the Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour have the expansions?
Re: Nightdive Apparently Has "A Few More" FPS Remasters On The Way
@nothingface023 Good lord, yes. Hexen is such an awesome, underrated game that is a blast to play with other people.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon
Definitely the NA one here. The Japan one is too messy.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
@Juma009 I never had the chance to play Albert Odyssey. I would love to own it and play it now, but good lord it goes for a TON on eBay!
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
@fusermarucs Dang! You don’t see a lot of those floating around anymore! 😀
So many good memories with that game.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
I own 53 SNES games and they all still work.
I also own a physical copy of every numbered Final Fantasy game.

16-bit RPG quirks are a definite turn-on for me.
Re: Exclusive: "The Farming Genre Is A Bit Tired" - How SunnySide Aims To Refresh The Farm Sim
Harvestella (or Final Farmtasy as I have been seeing it called) is the only farming game that has caught my interest since way back when Harvest Moon came out on SNES. Although it is probably hard to put Harvestella neatly in the category of farming sim since it looks very combat heavy.

@Riderkicker And this is exactly why I was never comfortable paying new game prices to them. Once the shrink wrap comes off, it is no longer new.
