Last Ninja is one of those games I've seen and even played very shortly several times when they were new, that have a nostalgic grip on me for the exact reason they were just beyond my grasp to really play.

I might bite once it's released.

Great game, awful translation. I actually booted it up a few months ago and well... it definitely had issues with putting everything English in the same amount of text boxes as the Japanese script, I can tell you that.

GREAT game though.

That is awesome and way too expensive for me. Also, I can't ride one anyways... even if I had the cash.

You mention three titles, but there is a fourth one in that picture, the something something Dan game.

Which, coincidentally, I read an article about just two days ago, which was pretty funny,. But I can't remember the full name of the title any more. It was an interesting story though, with the game almost being localised but ending up not being released, and the US name was hillarious.

Edit: I can see an article about it in one of the related links... So I guess I am being dumb. Bio Senshi Dan.

At a glance, this sounds a bit like a nothing burger.

It seems to merely mean that buyers (yes) need to be aware that there won't be a (re)download link available in perpetuity for most storefronts. Looking at GOG, that doesn't seem to be an issue there, and even if at one point GOG is shut down, having the digital files is no more or less prone to deterioration as is physical media.

We can't buy NES games anymore in store, we can't even buy some current gen games because they are sold out. It really is more or less the same problem. Buy now, you might not be able to buy tomorrow. And once broken/deleted, it is gone.

Csn I just voice my appreciation for the sub header being perfect for the title of the game?

Anakin meme insert : Ooh, this "Collection" has all the games in one collection, right? Right?

No, just the first two.

Call it Origins instead then, or something. Calling it a collection is just not right.

Wow, a Japanese dude being rude. That's a first... outside of animé at least.

I mean, I get that it looks nothing like DD, so fair point, but delivery, man. Delivery...

It looks really nice and awesome of Team17 to give their blessing.

Because Sonic lore is so consistent, lol.

I could never do this job. I am way too autistic to have to deal with the MYRIAD of inconsistencies within its "lore".

Same for Mario, Zelda and many more franchises, mind you. Maybe that's why I love Suikoden so much.

"Users will be able to take EA assets and create their own games"

So... we can take soccer players and soldiers and create... what? Battlefield Soccer?

Awesome!

Anybody here know anything about unreleased games?

I was just thinking about this game last night. I had this on one of those 32 or 31 in 1 cartridges. Pretty magical.

I LOVED the first 10 seconds I kept seeing from Last Ninja. Not having the hardware for it myself, I was stuck seeing it elsewhere. So this game has a sort of mystical status for me.

@somnambulance Those "not afraid to go against" games still exist though. One could argue Stardew Valley is one, and if you like impossibly huge, sprawling simulators, you owe it to yourself to give Dwarf Fortress a try.

@Poodlestargenerica You design games? You had my curiosity, now you have my attention. Pray do tell.

Can it connect to a GC with a link cable? That is all I need...

Or Swuare finally patching in proper multiplayer in the FF CC Remaster...

@Poodlestargenerica You have a top 100?!?
I kinda wanna know about it. Can I find it somewhere online?

My guess is the fan translation is better anyways, so let's not get our panties in a bunch.

@WaffleRaptor01 Well, I also clearly see Dhalsim, so you can't really argue that they are not taking more than a little inspiration.

Ultima VII is such a great game. It was impossible to finish pre-internet, but my goodness was it fun.

And I still don't understand how the game made me want to climb up the roof of that derelict building. Nothing SUGGESTED a secret there, yet I was compelled to climb up it.

The great mistery of gaming.

I know nothing about any of these companies but if something happens between your company and another, and then a similar thing happens with you and yet another...

That doesn't breed a lot of confidence...

These are not merely vibes, this is a deliberate hommage. Which is fine, but it doesn't just feel like an early FF game, it's supposed to mimic it.

But I like getting bogged down in lore, so probably not for me.

@KingMike Translation issue, most likely. Japanese is difficult to properly translate.

But anyhoo, "unfortunately" scrapped? Glad they ended up with FFT, because this looks worse, and the RTS part, which simply means "overhead map with real time movement until co tact is made" , like in Ogre Battle, would mean a completely different vibe.

Ah yes, teaching. See, the subject never matters, if you can't get them invested.

Even the most fun thing in the world can be turned into something dreadful if one needs to know. Make theem want ro know.

@Diogmites You hit the nail on the head. Make yourself interesting, or at least make the students curious. Either option works. I am an educator and you seem to understand the game pretty well.

Tinkle Pit REALLY sounds like a euphemism for a toilet.

Almost makes me want to buy it.

Miniatures!! Give us miniatures!!

@Tasuki It would be silly of them if they didn't put him in. Same with how it was awesome that Ricci was in the Wednesday series.

The standard edition will already include a crapton of awesome wannahaves and will cost you less than than the cost of games even in the 90s.

Meanwhile, modern games have nothing extra in the box and cost thrice as much.

@Ristar24 I think I read each of the Total! mags I had a 100 times over. I especially loved their review of Dizzy. Never got to play the game but their review spoke so much to me.

I want an animé of this game in the style of the artwork shown as the header.

This is what Zelda has always been for me. Zelda II was my first, and while I also adore Zelda III, I think II will always give me the most feels.

Love these types of games but don't like this premise.

I still draw Worms characters (my own style) from time to time. Loved this game. Not so much the later games, the original is where it's at for me.

@hambury Total! was super fun to read. As a JRPG fan, sure, Super Play had the 1 up, but before I heard of Super Play I was a devoted Total! reader, I could read their reviews a 100 times and still enjoy them.

@Spider-Kev I was just about to say the exact same thing, almost word for word.

@Azuris Thank you for the explanation.

I don't think I am in the market for any of this.

Atari games were always expensive. I am glad I only had a brief run before the NES came into our household.

This is kinda hillarious.

@MysticX You might have forgotten Jiskefet.

Not that tame.

Anyways, I wasn't even aware he had passed away 10 years ago. As another Dutchman, I can tell you he was definitely known here.

I was mayhaps a tad too young to watch his style of comedy, and our alternative channel wasn't really something that would be tuned into in our household, so I never saw anything outside of a few clips of the Young Ones. I do remember that music video with them in it.

Without reading too much of the article, I miss then90s dearly. I LOVED reading magazines. Could read them over and over. And over and over.

If I kept them, I could honestly read them now and enjoy it greatly.

I absolutely loved that NES game.

I love Wil Overton. Ace guy!

Soooo... remake when?

@RetroGames Well, it's a style. Not one I like, but I don't think we can fault the animators for doing what they want to do. There's been plenty of hugely successful animations in that style.

Again, I dislike it, but there are plenty of people who seem to adore it, so I guess it's just tough luck for us.

@RetroGames I had that with Castlevania. It was simply unwatchable for me. Happy for folks who loved it but it was impossible for me to enjoy.

I was like, wait a minute, isn't that lewd game Knights of Xentar part of this series? But that was Dragon Knight.

Phew!

This looks cool but not too interesting for me personally.

The art for these games is always so awesome.

The games themselves are awesome too, of course, but the art for these games is really cool too.

Not going to lie, that's kinda cool. I have a broken 2DS that I am sure I can find a repairshop for SOMEWHERE, but it would be nice if it were simpler to find.

That said., I REALLY dislike CEX. I didn't grow up with them being smaller stores, so I have no nostalgic feelings for them. They've only recently entered the shopping street scene in the Netherlands, as a chain, and it's definitely not my favourite chain.

Oooh fantasy Bomberman. I do not object.

@jesse_dylan Probably Active Time Battle, which is what they use in for example FF6 or Chrono Trigger, which is turn based but with a timer, so some characters get to act more often because their timer fills more quickly.

Looks great and I can already relate to the character. Color me interested.
