As a huge FFT fan, this game is everything I wanted and more! I would absolutely devour any new content if it was released.

@versionfiv I'm hoping that Aspyr will offer the Last Revelation as DLC for this. It's a wonderful culmination of Core Design's work.

I played this on release and enjoyed it enough, but for me it could never rank among the Final Fantasy games that I adored at the time (or Pokémon for that matter).

I remember it being quite repetitive, with far too frequent random battles which themselves belied depth (other than the djinn there is nothing to them). The story, characters and setting were also a snooze. I will say its soundtrack and graphics are stunning, however.

@Mana_Knight It's terrible, and has really ruined my love for Pokémon. You've made the right decision.

@Aaron00 I agree entirely.

My feeling is that the Pokémon Company struck gold with RBY and GSC, but did not have the courage or ability to upset the formula much thereafter. Scarlet and Violet are essentially still the same 8-bit games as the original generation, just with extra crap piled on top.

I'll be using my wired Pokkén Tournament controller, which is the only option for 2D games such as this.

It's such a wonderful game! There is so much hidden depth and charm.

Announce remasters of Tomb Raider 1-5 and I'm preordering 4 copies. Not this though.

I'm not sure how I feel about the addition of voice acting to the game. But I must admit that it seems to be handled well.

On the other hand, "Lord of the Rings vibe" could not be further from the mark. It's a very strange comparison.

@msvt I'm assuming you will be able to "rewind" to a previous turn should you lose a character. It was a feature added to the PSP remaster.

@StarPoint Sir, the GameCube was released in 2001.

@awp69 I would just get this one and go back and play the earlier entries if this tickles your fancy. Some of the systems in the first game especially have not aged well.

My body is ready! I'm jealous of anyone who hasn't yet played this absolute gem, which is finally being liberated from the PSP. I will still be playing this to death, however.

I'll buy 5 copies.

@nessisonett No kidding. Look at the state of that fire.

"Van Damme" has the same voice actor as Vandham from XC2. It's one of the first things I noticed.

Congratulations to my Uncle Andy on his retirement. What a legend.

@Xansies I'm sure a Let Us Cling Together port isn't too far off. I will buy it on Day 1. Absolutely sensational game.

@Arawn93 Yes, I picked up on that, too. The world map is also clearly inspired by the intro credits sequence.

@gaga64 The point isn't that this is 2D, it's that it looks like it has the production quality of your typical free mobile game.

Streets of Rage 3! Although it might be too much for the 3DS to handle. Apparently SoR2 was almost too demanding.

This looks like a Pokémon Uranium reject. That mouth...

@Zoriam I wouldn't worry if I were you. His whole raison d'être is posting negative or otherwise nonsensical fud.

Those type weaknesses though. Water, psychic, ground, rock... Yikes.

@Shiryu I know that they changed everything apart from the battle engine but I'm still reluctant to call it a remake.

The localisation is the best I have ever seen. Si beautifully written that it makes me want to become a localiser myself.

The PSP port is my favourite game of all time. Absolutely stunning in every way.

The voice acting in that video is absolutely dreadful. As someone who adored ED, please let this not see the light of day.

Whatever. You're depriving deserving charities of much-needed funds.

@Moon I'm not without sympathy for you, but the fishing for/exchanging download codes going on here really goes against the spirit of initiatives like Humble Bundle.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE As you mentioned, it wouldn't be worth their while rerecording the songs. Songs differ hugely from regular dialogue in terms of localisation costs and effort and this game is as niche as they come. I and (I imagine many other people) prefer to have the original Japanese songs rather than new versions. I have a feeling though that you would complain even if Nintendo had done that.

And again, changes in localisation are NOT censorship. Please stop spreading this misinformation.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE That's not censorship.

Also, is the 'lazy translation' you're referring to the fact that they didn't rerecord the songs in English?

@Moon You could just support the charity instead of spamming these comments looking for free codes.

Do you need the amiibo to play the Plague Knight campaign and coop? I have the game and am not sure about these things, so the 6% figure is not surprising.

They scratch the same itch as far as I'm concerned.

This studio sure can churn out FF knock offs.

For anyone in Europe in the need of an RPG fix, get one of the Fire Emblem VC games, which are on sale until midnight tonight. I'm playing the original Fire Emblem GBA game (7 I believe) and am loving it. It also works extremely well on the GamePad screen.

I'm more interested in Ghost than the main game. I've just never 'got' Star Fox.

@MitchVogel But the pun doesn't work that way!

I love this game. I used to borrow it repeatedly from a friend, and could tell then that is was much more fun than DKC. I never did like how Donkey Kong himself controlled.

Not exactly pushing the boat out though, are they?

@samuelvictor You would probably have been eligible for one full price title, but the surveys you would have had to complete would have pushed you over the edge first. This new system is far more generous.

Miitomo is live!

@Lizuka Believe me, this is much better than the previous system. I registered about €250 worth of games on Club Nintendo (the horror) and had enough stars only for NES Remix on Wii U and a cussy 3DS theme.

You can get Metroid Fusion with the purchase of a €40.00 eShop title. That is pretty damn good.

I rented this game so much on SNES that the shop should have just given me the cartridge. Donut Plains in particular sends me into raptures of nostalgia. But I don't think it has aged well. The slippery steering feels like you are rotating the course itself rather than your character (which I believe is also what technically happens).

Meanwhile, I'm still baffled that there's no cross-play for SNES VS games. If I knew they were tied to my NNID account and playable across systems, I would have bought ALL of them by now.

Dual Strike is great but its main innovation, dual CO powers, completely ruins it. Having two turns in a row (in addition to the actual CO powers) seriously unbalances battles.

This game is excellent. Well-made, tough as nails and quirky as hell.

Price on the second hand market does not have a bearing on whether a Virtual Console release is good value or not.

That Pokémon RBY is being sold at the same price as Metroid Prime Trilogy was at launch is nothing short of scandalous.

Having said that, I will likely buy Yellow. I am so weak...

@Sligeach You need to get over your crusade against Splatoon. You troll literally every article about it. It's pathetic.
