@mystman12 Yea except nobody was selling it or making a profit. Nintendo once again are acting like children. Japanese, out of touch children.

Capcom for example, welcomes this type of stuff.

@Splatburst

So what's our incentive? You didn't answer that.

Maybe they should put out a system with actual storage capacity and hardware specs that aren't modern by 1999 standards if they want people to buy into this crap.

Meanwhile, they'll charge you the same price for the digital version compared to the physical, while saving lots of money on production and shipping costs. How about some actual incentive to do this?

I still have my players guide that came with the original game. I wonder if the scratch and sniff panels on the back still work.

Mrgrgr! I want it now!

So the new dungeon gives you a wallet.

That's pretty anti-climatic.

You mean Activision won't be around to show us the latest COD game still built around the Quake 3 engine from 1999? What a shame!

Considering I have the Gamecube collection, there certainly is no need for this which is missing two of the games, 7 and 8.

Even still, why not include Megaman 9 and 10? Technically it's 4 games missing but there's less logic to not include 7 and 8.

Let's not fling insults to other users, even if they're in the wrong.

@ZAZX If you haven't already, you should look up Xenoblade with the HD texture pack. The game already looked good, now it looks insane. Better than Chronicals X.

Zelda had the benefit of a 4k texture pack. I don't think there is one for Xenoblade yet but as it is, the texture packs out there are insane. You can check them out on youtube (even though the quality of youtube videos are crap, even if you set to HD)

Better idea: Get the game on Dolphin, install the texture packs, and it will look better than anything this remaster could possibly hope to be.

@Gridatttack

Symphonic Fantasies, I believe it was called.

What I will link below is not part of that, but still a very well done version of the forest theme:

And a taste of Actraiser:

Also, as you mention the FuSoYa translation, did that correct the dialogue to be true to the original, as well as fix the font?

For anyone who cares, this was one of those games that got the symphony orchestra treatment.

Along with Actraiser. You should look it up.

I have played this game many times. I own a physical copy, I own the Wii VC version, and I have the rom. One thing I think I should look for is an actual accurate translation to English, since it was totally butchered for the NA release.

_{Let's avoid making jokes that will clearly offend a lot of people, thanks. (Jazzer)}

Chief Thunder from Killer Instinct has just shed a tear over this pointless change.

But I'm sure the "Nintendo can do no wrong" crowd as well as the PC police will eat this up and talk down to anyone who dares question this pointless censorship.

@cfgk24

Yea but isn't this the exact same game as the Wii U version except with new characters (and likely a whole lot less enemies on screen at once) ?

Ready to fly?

Why in your review do you talk about being able to summon characters from past games, and waste the effort by mentioning Cloud and Tifa twice?

No figurine? Bah.

Though the last game's figurine was weird lookin.

At least we finally got a damn release date. I'll be snagging this.

So why isn't there a US release date yet?

Last I checked, the UK speaks the same language as the US.

Two things I hated about this game were the leveling system and the shared "magic points" or star points or whatever the hell they called them.

The leveling system forced you to really make certain characters either all physical or all magic based, because trying to do both ended up with underpowered people.

I did like the game itself though, these things aside. I remember trying desperately to find out how to access the Casino.

@Zach

The only western gamers that would be put off by this, as you say, are hipster SJW types.

I am very angry that she didn't refer to the change as "fashionabluh" and respond to critics with "mrgrgr"

Sephiroth? Really?

Does the VC version allow you to use the analog to the same effect as the N64 version?

If I play Xenoblade on the controller and not on the TV, I do notice the text is a bit small.

@Lord

This is a Nintendo game, after all. So the answer of course will be no.

Expect a clunky, touch screen based communication system that isn't sufficient. Or the ability to type text out 6 words at a time like Animal Crossing.

So less content is better than added content?

I'd like to know how many people really didn't care for it. Very few people liked it isn't exactly scientific.

How can he top this game? How about add a story mode?

This game got boring fast without it.

@Kilroy

I have to agree here. I'm looking forward to that more than Mighty No.9

Why are all these youtube people hipster idiots with stupid names? Egoraptor? Pewdiepie? AngryVideoGameNerd?

Seriously, kill them all.

@andrea987

It got on my nerves instantly. Horrible. They should have left that music back in real L.A.

I don't mind the grind, but the downside is eventually the only way to level up abilities is to fight shadow beasts, and eventually not even that works.

Also, you generally use the same strategy with each fight after a certain point. One character is always going to block, so that's all they will level up. And often times one other character has to spam contact with an element so the enemies don't steal it back.

Having been said, it is still an enjoyable game. I made the mistake of picking Garnet as my main the first time out, and her story sucks compared to the others.

@J-Manix98

Walk on the ground BAREFOOT?

YOU ARE INSENSITIVE TO NATIVE AMERICANS!!

WEE OOO WEE OOO WEE OOO PC POLICE

Nonsense.

Somewhere, TJ Thunder from Killer Instinct sheds a tear.

@Salnax

Yea, a character from the most overhyped Final Fantasy game in the series is much better than the unique character that Snake was to play as.

If this is just a half-assed rehash and doesn't add anything new, I'll stick to playing it in 4k on Dolphin.

Another stupid choice by fanboys.

Great, another sword using guy. Throw him in the same pile as Link, Shulk and the 50 Fire Emblem characters.

FF7 was over rated crap!

Another crap rehash still running on a modified Quake 3 engine from 1999? Welcome to the next gen.

@Pod

Kojima wasn't really involved with Revengence, and it was an excellent game.

@Ps4all

Make it a point to get Rising. It was fun.

SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT

MEGAMAN!

I love the PC police always showing up to defend Nintendo no matter what. It's pathetic.

Meanwhile, I will have a hard time twisting one off now that her age has been bumped up. Bravely Default all over again.

@DarthNocturnal

The Moogle Charm! I was horribly underleveled at the end due to that thing. But it also got my weakest party through Kefka's tower. And I had to vanish/doom one of the three main bad guys in it.

Of course I played that game for SNES when I was younger, so I didn't have the patience to grind like I do as an adult.

@Xenocity

I hear Skyward Sword was really good, but I got annoyed with the controls early on. They wouldn't do what I wanted them to. Just map that stuff to a controller please, no waggle.

That and the horribly slow beginning where you must learn how to climb a box. I try to skip it and the little $%#% wouldn't let me pass till I climbed the damn box and jumped down. Seriously, Nintendo needs to make the hand holding garbage an option.

@DarthNocturnal

First time I played 6, the party splitting really screwed me later on. Especially trying to get through Kefka's tower with underleveled parties with little magic.

On later playthroughs, I leveled everyone so that any one person could destroy most of the enemies in the game. I spent many hours in the dinosaur forest for that purpose.

I mean obviously it required some grinding to level up all the people to a decent level to run those instances, but it was a preferred change from grinding job skills just to get certain abilities. I didn't care for the Ninja class but I wanted dual wield on my main attackers, for example.

I played the GBA version which added the OP job classes. Necromancer, Cannonier, and one or two others I forget.

@DarthNocturnal

There has always been a small group that insists 5 was the best. Only recently did I finally get around to playing it, because I didn't want to comment on that subject before trying it.

Having done so, I do find it to be quite good, though unfortunate that some of the job classes are basically useless given all of the options provided. I know the job system turned off a lot of people, but having played Bravely Default prior to this game, I knew what to expect.

I found it unfortunate that you basically only have four characters, but I guess due to the job system there wasn't need for more than that. It had a lot of funny moments compared to other FF games, and the story was decent. I wouldn't put it above 4 or 6 though.

In short, you will live this day.

For a better point of reference, look what Square did when they ported Final Fantasy 1-4 from old 2D tech to 3D. Much better use of time than just upping the texture resolutions on Twilight Princess, as Capcom did with the Resident Evil re-remake, or Last of Us HD, or anything HD that was a remake.

Though Square has earned my wrath for remaking the overrated and crap in comparison FF7, when FF6 was the best FF game ever, and only a child would say FF7 was better, and I will argue this till I die (and whoever argues with me, you will die too )

I think the re-make route is a lazy way for developers to cash in with as little effort as possible.

Nintendo over the years has been a pro at selling us the same games over and over again. Porting old SNES games to the GBA, porting SNES and N64 games to the DS, the virtual console, etc.

I would rather they focus their efforts on new products rather than rehashing old ones. At the very least, if you are going to remake an old game, go back in time farther. An HD Twilight Princess would be a half assed effort. But, remake the original LoZ or AoL, and now you've got a stew going. A 3d remake of the two NES games. Imagine that.

Or, don't dream a little bigger, darling

Pocky and Rocky!

I got New Leaf in June of 2013 and have no choice but to play daily because I don't want Isabelle or my villagers to be sad.

I don't want to play it, but I don't have a choice.
