@Bass_X0 I think at that point the only characters that they didn't have in SFA3 were from the original, so that would only leave Geki, Lee, Retsu, Mike and Joe. Though I could see them maybe bringing in someone else from SF3.
Honestly, if this goes on sale I'll pick it up. I played through the story and thought it was fine, but the other one player mode didn't interest me at all, and would rather just do ladders and stuff to get extra stuff. So...time will tell.
@KevinPeterson Oh man, I loved GameCrazy. I got my copy of Brave Fencer Musashi and Golden Sun from there. It sucks that the one you went to ripped you off though.
@MTMike87 PSO Ep1 and 2 I think would be perfect for couch co-op. Sure there are no (official) servers anymore, but it would work well using the online feature o nthe switch 2.
@Bizzyb part of me feels like they're underestimated the demand for the game. I tried to order mine when they went live but the Switch version never appeared and I gave up. Then I happened to be awake at 630 in the morning and saw that it was finally live and made my order. I was kinda hoping that I would have been fast enough to get it Friday, but I had to wait til Saturday.
It's good that the demand is large. I'm sure this is wishful thinking but hopefully GameArts will see the demand for a new game in the series.
@KevinPeterson So I remember when I got my copy of Lunar 2 on PS1, (for $90!), if you put down a $20 preorder, you got the puppet when the game came out. I still have it to this day. I remember bring it to HS and giving teachers fist bumps with it.
@TheBoilerman honestly, I'd say pick it up just to show the developers there is still interest in this series. Who knows, maybe it'll help Greenlight a new game in the series.
Kinda sad that the second game doesn't have more improvements considering it's one of my favorite JRPGs of all time, but im still super happy we're getting this. Will be buying day one.
My overall thought was "cool, but i dont need it right away."
Then looking at the game prices definitely made me a bit more concerned. Also, i feel like a goof paying for a 1.5TB sd card only to learn that it wont be compatible with the new system.
Truthfully, I will eventually get one, but with my current backlog of games, I need to wait. When they eventually release Prime 4, I think I might take a look again.
Honestly, I know im being super negative toward it...but only a few things stuck out to me. Even Prime 4, which im excited about, kind of felt lacking. I also understand that this will be overshadowed by the Switch 2 thing, and it just feels like a swan song for the Switch. Its been a great run thats for sure.
@Runex2121 i felt some them were too much, but I will admit, the 'Basic Magic: Killing Barney Made Easy' reference always made me laugh, alone for Ruby's reaction.
Truth be told, im always very skepticle about the new stuff because of how much this series means to me. Im glad they're using the PS1 version of the game...though NGL, having the original Sega CD versions would have been nice because of the differences, but beggars can't be choosers.
I hope the new VAing is good. I always liked the charm of the PS1 game...though im glad there wont be as many pop culture references like the WD version.
There are definitely games that I play more than others, and i would definitely buy them in a heartbeat. Some other ones I might have to check out first before committing to it. They're too expensive in the long run to buy multiple games.
I was looking at the LRG release of Earnest Evans and Annet Returns, but considering the production stuff and this news, I am considering just passing on it and waiting for an eventual digital release of the games.
As far as the game goes...idk what to think. Its kinda cool as an rpg hybrid with a beat em up...but. idk. I do remember renting this game as a kid thinking it was Legend of the Mystical Ninja, and being disappointed that it wasn't and not wanting to play it.
@BishopShiozawa sadly it won't be the Sega CD versions of the game. I was hoping we'd at least get sega Cd lunar 1 since it's practically a different game.
Honestly, Ive never been a fan of how early American Box art tried to make things look so 80s fantasy. This one isnt that bad, but Ive always been more a fan of the anime style art that the japanese box arts have done.
I like happy Kirby, but I have to say, the shadowy background best encompasses the "Nightmare in Dreamland" title even if Meta Knight isn't the baddie.
Honestly, ive never been super nostalgic with Nintendo (Sega kid) but i did always like their black border backgrounds. So obviously, I went with the US release.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Inazuma Eleven
@Folkloner glad I wasnt the only one who noticed that.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Dragon Power (NES)
Find that Dragon Ball. Look out for them all. What a great japan box art this will be.
Yup voting for Japan. When I saw dragon power I was like 'wait, isn't this really a DB game?'
Re: "I'm Running On Fumes" - Digital Eclipse Is Scrambling To Address Issues With Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
Kinda glad I waited on this. I have plenty of other games to finish at this moment.
Re: Review: Night Striker Gear (Switch) - The Shining Apex Of The 'Super Scaler' Concept

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct September Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
HOping thta we get more details on Prime 4. Thats what im holding out getting a switch 2 for.
Re: Review: Operation Night Strikers (Switch) - M2 Does It Again With This Taito-Themed Collection
I got this for Night Strikers, but I definitely enjoy the 'not Alien' shooter.
I have to say, i wanted to get the DLC for the home ports, but its expensive right now.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Harvest Moon (SNES)
I went with the Japanese one because of the placement.
Re: Two Of The Worst Mortal Kombat Games To Be Included In Legacy Kollection
So...ngl, I have a soft spot for Mythologies. Yes its bad, but i like the cheese. Who knows, maybe ill stream it for the lawls.
Re: Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Free Title Update Now Live On Switch And Switch 2
@Bass_X0 I think at that point the only characters that they didn't have in SFA3 were from the original, so that would only leave Geki, Lee, Retsu, Mike and Joe. Though I could see them maybe bringing in someone else from SF3.
Re: Feature: 10 Top Mario Kart Cosplays - From Blue Shells To Bowser
For a sec I thought the last one was a Bowser plush. Then i scrolled down, and lo and behold, amazing!
Im sad there was no mention of the guy who made a video throwing shells as Luigi and doing the stare.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Weaponlord (SNES)
@Zeugziumy I remember the X-Band. Just wonder if anyone ever used it and got it to work properly. (goes to youtube)
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Like the blueprints, but the image in the Japan boxart is a bit too zoomed in. Makes it seem like the Tie Fighter is more important than the X-Wing.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Playable On Switch 2 Despite 'Incompatibility' And It Runs Far Better
I wouldn't be surprised of Netherrealm ended up releasing the recent komplete edition onto switch 2.
Re: Classic Atari 2600 Title 'Adventure' Is Being Revived As A Metroidvania
@YoshiAngemon Good question. not sure who owns the rights to the game. Hopefully the Brothers Chaps can do something with it and bring it back.
Re: Classic Atari 2600 Title 'Adventure' Is Being Revived As A Metroidvania
@DwaynesGames It better so i can scream "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Looks To Be Winding Down Support With The 'Definitive Edition'
Honestly, if this goes on sale I'll pick it up. I played through the story and thought it was fine, but the other one player mode didn't interest me at all, and would rather just do ladders and stuff to get extra stuff. So...time will tell.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Wow, 50/50. I like them both, but personally the map in the background is what pushes me toward the Japan version.
Re: Gallery: These 'Lunar Remastered Collection' Goodies Remind Us Of The Good Old Days
@KevinPeterson Oh man, I loved GameCrazy. I got my copy of Brave Fencer Musashi and Golden Sun from there. It sucks that the one you went to ripped you off though.
Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO
@MTMike87 PSO Ep1 and 2 I think would be perfect for couch co-op. Sure there are no (official) servers anymore, but it would work well using the online feature o nthe switch 2.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Pikmin (GameCube)
Nothing wrong with the Japanese box art...just a bit too basic for my tastes.
Re: Gallery: These 'Lunar Remastered Collection' Goodies Remind Us Of The Good Old Days
@KevinPeterson So I remember when I got my copy of Lunar 2 on PS1, (for $90!), if you put down a $20 preorder, you got the puppet when the game came out. I still have it to this day. I remember bring it to HS and giving teachers fist bumps with it.
I wish i could get the press kit.
Re: Review: Lunar Remastered Collection (Switch) - Two Of The Most Charming RPGs Ever Get A Fair, If Flawed, Port

Re: Review: Lunar Remastered Collection (Switch) - Two Of The Most Charming RPGs Ever Get A Fair, If Flawed, Port
Dragon Song? What's that? Never heard of it.
Kinda sad that the second game doesn't have more improvements considering it's one of my favorite JRPGs of all time, but im still super happy we're getting this. Will be buying day one.

Re: M2's 'Gradius Origins' Collects Some Of The Shmup Series' Finest And A Brand-New Entry
It would be nice if they put in the console versions of some of these games like in the other Konami collections.
Still a shame that we get no Gradius Rebirth.

@FX29 Fan Translations have been made of PSG1 and PSG2. The latter is sadly not fully complete but its playable.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Super Ninja Boy
Hard choice, but I went with Japan.

Re: Review: Star Trek: Legends (Switch) - Competent Combat But Fails To Engage

Re: Nintendo Download: 27th December (North America)
@OldManHermit Im not finding it on the shop. I'll look again.
Edit: Now i know why i couldn't find it. It was under "Warrior Blade"
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th December (North America)
Im still hoping we get a solo release of Rastan Saga 3 someday.
Edit: so I realized why I couldn't find it. It was under Warrior Blade.
Thanks to @OldmanHermit and @Dashkappei for letting me know.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Breath Of Fire II

Re: Talking Point: Can Sony And Microsoft Really Compete With Nintendo In A New 'Handheld War'?
I think Sony needs to focus more on software at this point.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Kirby: Nightmare In Dream Land (GBA)
I like happy Kirby, but I have to say, the shadowy background best encompasses the "Nightmare in Dreamland" title even if Meta Knight isn't the baddie.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Double Dragon (NES)
@Valkian24 Was literally just about to say the same thing.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Balloon Fight (NES)

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Professor Layton And The Miracle Mask
Ngl, I do like the European one, but the Japanese one has a style that I really like too.
