I really liked the action in this game. The first few, story heavy hours had me worried, but I was ultimately impressed with how well the action works considering the limitations.Sure, there were some puzzling (downright amateurish?) design decisions, and the dialogue, voice acting, and even the continuity are a mess in this game, but It ended up feeling like Metroid game, which is probably the most important thing to me. It's my least favorite in the series, but I think it's a good start for a possible sequel.

I'm so jealous right now, I want all that. Offer that in the states and I will preorder fo sho.

No Thanks!

Bloodlines, Please!

I'm gonna avoid other M for the time being...I'm playing through the old gamecube Prime's right now, and loving that. I will buy a 2-d metroid if they make another of those, but i'm sort of worried about the direction the series is headed in with all the narrative and such. fusion had enough of that for me. I basically want another Super Metroid!

This is one of those games I'll pick up for around $10 in a bargain bin a couple of years from now and enjoy.

We're never gonna get Bloodlines, are we?

Breasts, Please.

this is wonderful. I haven't played a game on this thing in over a week, I've been too busy watching Buffy and Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes series to do anything else. Now I can finally watch the 350 movies I have in my ever expanding instant que without having to sit at an uncomfortable computer desk.

Bargain bin for me. I don't have a lot of money to spend on games, so it will have to wait in line.

Hurm, I don't have the wii motion plus, and I'm a cheap bastard anyway, so this will have to be one of those $20.00 deals before I give it a go. Looks pretty good though!

I may pick this up next weekend. I've played through part of the game on PC a couple of years ago and liked it pretty well. I'll keep an eye on the reviews and see how it goes. How many hours of gameplay does this game have? It's not a quantity thing necessarily, but I've just about burned through Rondo, and I'm already jonesing for something new.

I haven't played this game in a long time. Definitely going to buy this!

and thanks for the info

I agree, i remember getting symphony back when it came out for the PS1, and totally was not expecting the prologue. I had no idea who Richter even was.

@ StarBoy91: I agree, most of the mid-game bosses were way harder than than Dracula for me.I remember he was easy in Syphoney as well.

Anyone know where one could find a translation of all the dialogue? I'd love to know what they're saying. Bless whoever got this released, It's a wonderful game, maybe the best VC purchase I've made so far, but I wonder how hard it could have been to put some english subtitles in, when they've done something similar on another system.

Man, level 6 was a beast.

As soon I booted this up, the first thing my lady friend said ( the very definition of casual gamer) was that it looked like a Streetfighter game. I'm loving this, it feels about as challenging as Super Castlevania 4, and while I always miss the control of that particular game, the boss fights, the art and music (as well as the item crash) make up for it. Probably the best in the old series so far for me. This just makes me want Bloodlines even more.

man, the headline gave me hope that we would see Rondo this week... oh well, FF2 rocks!

Whatever is good for the indie developer is ultimately good for their fans as well. I like the original flash version of Meatboy, and I don't have a 360 so I will be waiting for the WiiWare version, and it'll be a day one purchase for sure. I wish them loads of success on x-box live, I think those dudes deserve it after all the great free games that have been released by them.

Looks pretty terrible.

One of the many interesting Wii games coming out this year. I hope it lives up to its promise.

Whatever. There should have been more support for this in the first place.

I will probably pick this up, I've been itching for some co-op.

Is it still worth picking up a psp for the remake, assuming one buys this?

Meh. Just as well, my internet is down anyway.

Interesting...this game is getting better reviews than the console release is.

Great news! Excuse me while I go change my undies.

Japan, you are spoiled. I wish WE could get some of those old Megaten games.

Looks better than I thought it would. I may pick this up, if the reviews are positive.

Here's to hoping it doesn't SUCK! (get it, suck, like a VAMPIRE? )

AM GETTING.

I can think of several VC games I'd rather have than Phantasy Star. I get monkey Island on the PC, so it's another week I don't have to buy anything

Wasn't too fond of EC's gameplay (though I loved the music and artsyle), but I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Doh! wish I lived in NY.

I actually have a copy of this I haven't had a chance to play yet, but I remember the the old pen-and-paper game from back in the day, and a handful of cheesy (but fun) novels.

Good luck in China Token Girl! Hope you have lots of fun.

7/10. Kidding!

I'd rather just buy a physical board game and play that in the living room. Thanks for the review/warning!

This is the best Zelda game ever made. I remember the ending was so heartbreaking for me at the time.

It's crazy how good looking this game is. Proabably worth it even if you only play single player.

I obsessed over the first Tenchu, I played it for months until I had every item, but the second one was disappointing, and I never played another one after that. This sounds like a return to form in some ways, but the inability to move freely along the rooftops seems weird. As an aside, or any of the PS2 Tenchu games worth getting? I might pick one up whenever I purchase this.

Fail.

Kotaku is a blog. Regardless of the lack of copy editors (my lord, use a spell checker people), they aren't generally held to the same journalistic standard as a place like 1up or maybe even IGN might hold themselves to. They need eye catching headers and boobs to get those clicks.

I suck at games, so I will probably pass on this one, though it looks interesting. One must their limits. Plus I'm broke

I always thought their PC games were better than their console games.

I never finished this back in the day..I remember being frustrated with the time limit. Perhaps I'll give it another shot.

George Lucas will not get another dime from me
