I own (but haven't played) Conquest and Birthright physical. Do I need to play until chapter 6 to not miss out on anything when I eventually get around to playing, or can I purchase all the DLC right now?
@olrodlegacy I'm still mad that they screwed up my order for controllers when they original launched. Got shipping notice, then a few hours later, a message that they had received my returned controllers and would refund the money within a few days.
@Sonos The necks and scratched shells are not the problem. The heads (what's up with those faces - looks like a charicature of a sex offender and a dinosaur) are clearly the worst. Then you throw in the strange body types and the combination of different incarnations of the turtles (L/R/D/M on the belt, blue/red/purple/orange headbands but black (wtf?) paddings), and you get this. It's neither here, nor there.
The European/American box art looks like a poor imitation of the original Eastman/Laird comics. It could be some early Michael Dooney art work, but I'm guessing in-house Konami. The Japanese box art at least captures the 1987 cartoon.
Please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe, please be physical in Europe.
@MJF Yes, it's been re-released on iOS and Steam, with changes in sprites, dialogue, music, UI etc. The re-releases of Meet the Beatles never changed the lyrics or used another drummer.
@fafonio Hacking the mini seems to be the way to go. Between the mini and NSO/Switch, the best SNES games that are missing seems to either be owned by Square Enix (CT, FFIV, ActRaiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Time/Gaia, Secret of Evermore), Konami/Hudson (Super Bomberman, Mystical Ninja, Axelay) or licensed (TMNT, Magical Quest).
@fafonio Sure, the DS one is less expensive. It's still an enhanced port, though (though most seem to agree this one actually is an enhancement).
Still, in 2022 you'd think you could buy one of the best games ever (in its original form), and play it on current generation consoles on your big screen TV. This game don't need enhancements to look or sound beautiful.
@fafonio The original SNES game costs around $200USD in eBay (plus shipping and import taxes). The PlayStation version is expensive as well (and have several differences from the original). The Wii version was a true port, but not available anymore. The iOS version and the Steam version are terrible. So, one true port in 25 plus years since release.
@MJF There are not alot of legal ways of playing Chrono Trigger, no.
Meet the Beatles has been reissued in stereo and mono several times, on several different formats. (I'm guessing the OG mono LP is expensive as Meet the Beatles isn't really a canon album by The Beatles, but some American invention.)
@MJF I can just play the originals, but paying $200USD plus shipping plus import taxes (plus a North American Super Nintendo) for playing Chrono Trigger (as an example), shouldn't be necessary. If the only way to listen to The Beatles was by buying the original LPs from the 60's on eBay or listen to remakes done by some schmuck, there would be riots.
@NintendoWife It was released on the Wii Virtual Console, which sadly is history now. That's it. (Not counting the enhanced DS re-release, which also is costly, or the terrible Steam port).
Square Enix have a terrible track record in the «let's make our classic better» in my opinion. Trials of Mana, Actraiser Renaissance, all the visual «upgrades» on the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games etc.
@NintendoWife The problem being that even though «the originals are always there in some form», the only way for me to (legally) play, say Chrono Trigger, is to buy the used SNES game from eBay, with all the costs (for me, the cost of a US SNES as well as import costs) and extra work (cables to hook it up to newer TVs etc.) needed for that to work. I wouldn't mind remakes and remasters it the originals also were easily available, which never is the case with Square Enix.

@YoshiAngemon Wasn't aware that it was a licensed game. That explains it, though.

@Sonos The necks and scratched shells are not the problem. The heads (what's up with those faces - looks like a charicature of a sex offender and a dinosaur) are clearly the worst.

Re: Street Fighter Vs. TMNT Action Figure Sets Launching Later This Year
Those turtles look awful (and no, they don't look the original Eastman/Laird at all).
Re: Box Art Brawl: Duel #97 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From The Sewers
The European/American box art looks like a poor imitation of the original Eastman/Laird comics. It could be some early Michael Dooney art work, but I'm guessing in-house Konami. The Japanese box art at least captures the 1987 cartoon.

Seeing as this isn't compatible with NES - is he still dreaming of playing Duck Hunt?

@Specter_of-the_OLED I believe you could use a Wiimote (in a gun peripheral) on both Wii and Wii U.

Re: Square Enix Is Looking Into More HD-2D Remakes Of SNES Classics
@fafonio Yeah, but it's sad that you need to be a pirate to play classics that should've been available for all to purchase.
