i liked this a lot, because i wanted to do with someone else, but they didnt like it, so did it alone i still liked to kill monsters as ugly as those maybe i'll buy it later, i have other games i want now (but have to wait )
when i was a kid, i loved this game, and is the reason why i own playstation with BoF 3 i loved to play this game on console, and once again will buy this later i was a real rpg fan, still am, and this was one of the few bigger rpg's i never completed it, so this is my chance was nice back then, and worth to re-live it
@Mickeymac: i think you shouldnt think what kids think (i hope its a younger bro eh?) because i have enough what they hate/dislike while they have enough stuff i dont like (stuff from these times) if its older bro, i guess he thinks about graphics more then the game itself (like lot of people do these times)
i've played this, it was kinda fun, i always had different levels, got harder by going further it was kinda a game which kept me busy, and i did like it maybe i get it for the same reason once again... if it ever gets in europe, i even made a level from this game in ssbb i prefer the legal way (VC) over illegal (emulator) also, i prefer controller over keyboard
i know this game, played it for a while on sega, but at a point i couldnt go further, had no idea... and no internet i think i'll buy it as soon as i have the other games i wanna get or hope to get it was a nice game imo
i myself dont really compare games, because i think: every game is different, most of the time that is the truth i see every game as itself, SoM has no real clone SoM has a story going on from the start, about mana tree and its powers, and the monsters who want to use its powers to rule the world SoE has way different story, and characters are different aswell, and not just the looks
now that i mention it, i never really had the chance to play SoE the right way.... lets hope it'll be in VC too
as for SoM, i saw an update in wii shop channel, but i guess i have to wait for it
i've seen it so much: SoM compared to Zelda i dont get it, i always saw zelda way different, mana has inventory/options/magic rings, zelda has 1 screen then mana has way different style of textures then zelda has, they might look like each other, but still are diffferent styles, not just looks zelda has sword which wont get stronger, just changes swords ingame (except for once), mana has more weapons which always get stronger by orbs i could compare forever, but i wont the only thing whats same is how you swing a weapon, but that wont make them games of same style
the examples are game style ones, but most things are different you cant compare em, because they have so much differences you only could say: i prefer the (gamename) style anyway, the few bad/less good points make the game lil more challenging IMO
i didnt really like it as much as i liked other nes games, but the thing keeping me playing was making your own levels, yes, i do it in ssbb too , that was fun, just make own levels, and sometimes even add an enemy or that luigi-looking-guy ( or maybe shadow mario ) this game also was on dunnohowmuch in 1
dont think i will download, but who knows, maybe i change my mind one day
no use to post here, but still talk about it, because i have the sonic mega collection for gamecube, and already unlocked the way to play sonic 3 with knuckles
my sonic 3 thoughts: it was, and still is, a great game, i completed with all 3 of them, sonic + tails, tails and knuckles, that was on sega
this was my greatest sonic game ever, and i think still is
niiice game it was, still might be , depends on my mood i knew the money trick soon, and even with it i, too, never made it past metropolis, but was fun doing it
also, i got the secret level after doing all those in the option where you have to save cities wont tell how it looks like, some might wanna see it themselves the hardest one was the one with nuclear problem IMO, but back then i wasnt good at giving up (unlike lately sometimes )
i might aswell buy this one with my next wii points card
i dont know this game, but i see lots of positive posts here, maybe i give it a try i have played PS II, and was also fun, until i got stuck somewhere i now have plans for games, maybe after i got the others i'll buy this one aswell, looks good, just like PS II
You should look at youtube, even though they have spoilers, you still can see what kind of game it is.
dont ever ask me if its a good game, cuz i love it with all my heart this game remains the best memories of my whole youth
and yes, the cooldown of attacks, most people i played it with still dont understand (or are impatient), so i guess lot of impatient people wont buy it
again @ Charco
you can run in the game, but this also uses your energy, so you have to recharge before attacking, its not that way with magic, but if you are too strong, you shouldnt use too much in a row, since max dmg is 999
the first time i fought the endboss, i just barrels to survive, but after a while i saw the girl's magic having a barrier against any attack, so decided to use it, and worked out great, cuz at high lvl, it stays for 2 rounds of flights of the endboss (as far as i know, cuz i never actually maxed my magics)
thx nintendo for adding this to VC, if it were only here now also, i'm glad to see that there are lots of SoM fans besides me, most people i know (and knew back then) dont like it
ai, the first zelda ever, i played alot same with my mom we both had own save game, and we both completed it, same with the 2nd world (which you can do right away when calling your character zelda) my mom really was so into it, she actually drew the dungeons on papers, we didnt have internet like this back then it was the only "big" game we had back then
i enjoyed the game from the start to the end i followed the whole zelda series, and this one is the first i ever played
it was (still is) a great game i even made in smash bros brawl a level which looks like the screen with shop, near the start (just the form) good memories
i think there are 2 major reasons why people dont like it: 1. its a simple made game with harder challenges 2. angry nintendo nerd, i dont blame him for this, but its up to the people who let their thoughts change because of him the nerd has many complaints about games, but those are all old games, from the time there wasnt that much technology, like graphics and such
it was a fun game for me: challenging, old games were good for what they could do back then, different environments (hate the water part ) and ... turtles
nice to hear i still have to wait for it, which i really cant anymore from the day i bought kirby's adventure from VC, i cant wait for more good games from my past (and chrono trigger, which i never got back then, and never found anywhere in stores) i'll tell once i got SoM on VC, cuz this game is worth more then 800 points to me, so getting on VC makes me the happiest guy around ps. mana theater has funny SoM movies
Talking to girl in pandora to get through ruins isnt idiotic imo lot of people might have had troubles finding the goals, but thats what good games are made off, find the adventure yourself, thats way better then look at sites like gamefaqs, and more fun if you have to search for your stuff, which i did
it was an easy game, took long first time, but i learned fast, and never really had troubles finding the adventure by talking, which is required in most good old rpg's
once i got it, i wont stay away from it anymore i use my wii everyday with especially smash bros brawl, but with SoM, i'll use VC more then ever
since i use the VC, i cant have a day without thinking about it for now i wait for this incredible-awesome-superior... game Go Nintendo Go
and yes, i bought this one, awesome to have the old game on a new console wii isnt that new anymore, but still the newest i have i'm happy i bought it (same with the wii points today)
also, i must say this: i refuse to use cheats, so no gameshark/gamegenie or whatever cheats i could use
as for "challenge to be maxed before mantis ant" : its a big challenge to stay there until maxed lvl i wont spend all my time with SoM there though, just making 1 save game which will get it, but will not only do that, when i get bored of it, i do another save game with my old nicknames for them, and max everything ingame before beating the endboss, thats my 1st goal in SoM from VC and my most important one
@slangman : i know, but not on VC strange story, but in the past it was my only fun thing, thx to SoM i could be happy, so will buy at all cost
maybe weird to mention, but i dont think seiken densetsu 3 was ever released where i live (or in europe at all) but i played an emulator version, and i love it too, so lets hope they will release it at VC aswell
back to SoM: @chipmunk777: same here, we never had money for it to buy that multi-tap, but soon we can on wii
i completed SoM almost with anything, almost all strongest armors, max level, weapons i gave them were max once i got it on VC i'll get anything maxed (also counts magic) for real and then slay the endboss at maximum
also i saw 2 nice challenges for SoM: 1. no armor and 2. being high level (maybe maxed) before mantis ant, will take ages, but i do anything for my favorite snes game
when i had that dunnohowmuch in 1, i played this game, and liked it, gave it 4/5, since it was a time i was happy with anything i got this game gave me lot of fun back then, so i havent got anything bad to say about it, i enjoyed those times i see its not in europe, guess its not popular enough, maybe i'd buy it if it would be in europe, this game has no story or real challenge if you know it well, but still from good old times
i will buy this one soon, after bought SoM which i am waiting for way too long this was (still is) a great zelda game, i would be happy to buy it i always had to help others who had this game, i was the best in the neighbourhood i think i like to play it again on the wii with gamecube controller
my sis once played it, but when someone like me helps you, you wont see much of the game, she got through in no time... stupid me, making the game way too easy for her anyway, i love to play it on VC and since it always has been my best snes game, i expected it very good, and thought it would cost 900 points, but its even 800 i wouldnt mind paying 900, cuz i think its worth it, but 800 is very nice thanks nintendo when i searched for this (cuz i was hoping they would give it on VC) i found this site, and this page made me so happy, now i cant wait anymore
edit: omg, i didnt see its released in US already, not europe yet, cant wait any longerrrrr
i, too, had this game under the name: Mario Baby, but on a cassette with 150,200 or 250 games in 1 , not sure which was fun since its not boring and you can even use enemies as platforms to get higher, when you hit them i think i'll buy it too, but waiting for SoM first now
this is the game which gave me kirby, and thx to this one i became kirby fan for life, also the reason why i have the whole smash bros series 11/10 i have it on my VC, and is still the only game i got from VC, but will buy more later not sure if you people know the secret in 1st or 2nd level of first world ( not sure which) if not: where theres the warpstar, you go to left until the star is out of screen, but not too far, then go back and you can enter the secret place nothing there, but is fun
oh and, that secret place, i made on ssbb as own level, but very big, so had to add lifts too
as a kirby fan i like to have this one, but i prefer Kirby's FunPak/ Kirby Super Star over this one, since i dont know this one yet so hope that one also gets to VC wont rate yet...
it was my very first favorite snes game.. and last, cuz i never found such good game on snes as this one, IMO i remember as yesterday... i wanted it so badly, but we didnt have the money, but finally i could buy, and so i did i'll be 1 of the first ones who will get in VC
as for chrono trigger, i never could find in anystore here, loved it on emulator (no, i will not send it or give any link since its illegal) and thx to that i want it on VC too
SoM gets 11/10
my SoM names were(and still will be on VC): Ron (boy), Maria(girl), Nico(sprite) Ron is my own name, i liked a girl on school who was named Maria, and met a friend in hospital who's name was Nico

Re: Alien Storm
i liked this a lot, because i wanted to do with someone else, but they didnt like it, so did it alone
i still liked to kill monsters as ugly as those
maybe i'll buy it later, i have other games i want now (but have to wait )
Re: Breath of Fire II
when i was a kid, i loved this game, and is the reason why i own playstation with BoF 3
i loved to play this game on console, and once again will buy this later
i was a real rpg fan, still am, and this was one of the few bigger rpg's
i never completed it, so this is my chance
was nice back then, and worth to re-live it
@Mickeymac: i think you shouldnt think what kids think (i hope its a younger bro eh?) because i have enough what they hate/dislike
while they have enough stuff i dont like (stuff from these times)
if its older bro, i guess he thinks about graphics more then the game itself (like lot of people do these times)
Re: Lode Runner
i've played this, it was kinda fun, i always had different levels, got harder by going further
it was kinda a game which kept me busy, and i did like it
maybe i get it for the same reason once again... if it ever gets in europe, i even made a level from this game in ssbb
i prefer the legal way (VC) over illegal (emulator)
also, i prefer controller over keyboard
Re: Phantasy Star II
i know this game, played it for a while on sega, but at a point i couldnt go further, had no idea... and no internet
i think i'll buy it as soon as i have the other games i wanna get or hope to get
it was a nice game imo
VC... good old times
Re: Secret of Mana
i myself dont really compare games, because i think: every game is different, most of the time that is the truth

i've seen it so much: SoM compared to Zelda
i dont get it, i always saw zelda way different, mana has inventory/options/magic rings, zelda has 1 screen
then mana has way different style of textures then zelda has, they might look like each other, but still are diffferent styles, not just looks
zelda has sword which wont get stronger, just changes swords ingame (except for once), mana has more weapons which always get stronger by orbs
i could compare forever, but i wont
the only thing whats same is how you swing a weapon, but that wont make them games of same style
the examples are game style ones, but most things are different
you cant compare em, because they have so much differences
you only could say: i prefer the (gamename) style
anyway, the few bad/less good points make the game lil more challenging IMO

i knew the money trick soon, and even with it i, too, never made it past metropolis, but was fun doing it

wont tell how it looks like, some might wanna see it themselves
the hardest one was the one with nuclear problem IMO, but back then i wasnt good at giving up (unlike lately sometimes )
i might aswell buy this one with my next wii points card
Re: Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
i dont know this game, but i see lots of positive posts here, maybe i give it a try
i have played PS II, and was also fun, until i got stuck somewhere

not sure if you people know the secret in 1st or 2nd level of first world ( not sure which)
if not: where theres the warpstar, you go to left until the star is out of screen, but not too far, then go back and you can enter the secret place
nothing there, but is fun
