A lot of pirate kids dressed like that. The table with the pirates is a little more convincing. But I suppose that’s not necessarily that unique either…

They should adapt chrono trigger into a burlesque tea party.

There were plenty of “competent” artists who managed to make the mega drive sound bad. Same with the super famicom. It was just bad in different ways. And both could also sound phenomenal.

That was beautiful. She’s a pillar and a musical genius.

@axelhander it certainly wasn’t received that way at the time. Response wasn’t extreme. I agree that it’s a great game tho, the best phantasy star, and underrated.

A lot of that may or may not be true, but he said himself carts are expensive. Squaresoft released both chrono trigger and final fantasy 3 (6) at really high prices too. Sega didn’t expect to sell much phantasy star 4, the carts were high capacity and expensive, and they didn’t want to take a bath on it.

The rest, maybe some grains of truth. All love to victor Ireland but…

Personally I’m looking forward to playing with Japanese voiceovers for the first time…

And if this were definitive it would include the sega cd versions!

I’m not sure I ever knew this existed. Was it Europe only? I feel like I’d have tried to buy one of these because I was unwell.

If they redo transport tycoon I hope they keep the graphics or at least the style.

Atari should do more with microprose stuff. Microprose was awesome back when!

I kind of wish they’d get the xcom license too and make a retro styled xcom. Except with all the bells and whistles of the new firaxis ones.

I have no idea what any of this is. Why are there as many composers for Astro ninja as for the music games? What are the music games?

Yeah, mine was ballooned. I’ve never had this happen with any other system, to be fair. Game boy advance sp is older, so you’d think they’d be prone!

NDS and I think 3DS have fairly easily replaceable batteries.

I get it, but… Casey? What kind of self-respecting Japanese ninja is named… Casey?

I did mode 7 on my toaster once

This looks amazing. I hope I like it as much as Skald!

That’s hot.

@MSaturn it’s not so black and white. It does great things and already does bad things too even if no doomsdays happen. Amazing discoveries, like atomic energy, are always both (but hopefully not dramatically bad!)

It’s fun to brag that the guy who just won a Nobel, worked on design and programming for some games I loved as a kid.

@Servbot_EJ by far the best kart soundtrack. I think her takes on sim city and pilot wings are best in franchise too.

Legendary 1990s tracks

Most NHK stuff like this comes to their YouTube channel right? Most of us won’t have access otherwise

I think they’d sell a lot more of these if they had an on-screen overlay translating stuff like those Jaleco releases.

It’s a deplorable situation for sure, but it isn’t all that often that stuff gets revoked, and usually there’s a fuss when it happens.

Business and capitalism are all about making money; they’re not about doing it in any way that’s necessarily fair. And no matter how much a minority resists, the masses don’t care.

We don’t really own physical games either; we own a license to what’s on the disk, and it may or may not work forever. In addition, disks atrophy, save batteries die.

Nothing lasts forever. Buy what you’re gonna play. Don’t hoard games like toilet paper.

It’s awesome. I never even played much shadowgate, despite renting it on nes and having it on gbc; but I’m totally into this.

@Captain_Retro but not in English sadly I wonder why it didn’t include the third game. Different dev and low quality maybe?

@somnambulance if it doesn’t come to consoles they must not like success and money.

@Captain_Retro I wish we’d get even a re-release of those on switch or something.

Jeepers those early games are really hard. I feel like I’m playing zachtronics here. I’ve tried out the first ten games maybe, going chronologically, but maybe I should be jumping around more.

I was so excited for it. I really want it on console… but I got it on steam anyway and hope it runs on my ancient laptop.

Sega should do the right thing and release a lost RPGs collection: this one, all of shining force 3, and of course panzer dragoon saga.

@Pillowpants I think the real target audience for a remaster probably is people who have NOT played it. A lot of these were niche in the past, when gaming itself was niche. Now there’s a big audience. And if someone hasn’t played it, they don’t care if it’s recycled.

Square-Enix would probably let their stuff die rather than let someone else do it. But on the other hand, they do a ton of outsourcing (to save money…)

I’d love to see them remaster the quintet games instead (soul blader, Gaia, terranigma). I wonder if Enix still has rights to those.

Remaster the original, add QoL, release it, done.

They selling all the ***** they got in trade from me like 25 years ago.

Sad to hear he thinks he might be dying soon. that existential angst might result in some pretty cool design tho.

It’s not that he doesn’t make good games; he just overhypes people, and the end result doesn’t meet their overhype.

He made some real classics. I used to love bullfrog. I emailed him as a kid, and he wrote back.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

I wish they’d do the gold box d&d games. Or ultima.

Pretty cool. This was back before games had to be “AAA” budget with million dollar graphics and needed voice acting for every single line. Sometimes it seems like creativity and high budget are mutually exclusive. I love the media tie-in. There weren’t actually a ton of those that I can recall…

I really wish they’d do an English language overlay for all these the way pinball quest does for the Japanese version.

Which cancers? I’m in the US, and I’m still too young to screen for prostate or colorectal cancers… I tried! I got a game boy Christmas 1989.

Been having an existential crisis since 2013 tho…

@Jackburton1985 I think you’re grossly overestimating its earnings potential… not that I don’t wish they’d just put it out anyway. Konami owns the rights. They probably made it into a pachinko machine.

Snatcher was the only kojima game that ever floated my boat. I’m scared if I replay it I won’t like it anymore tho. I’m no longer 12! I had an import copy of policenauts, but my Japanese never got good enough for it.

@Kirbyo they… don’t play like vampire survivors… 😆 definitely inspired by Castlevania tho for sure!

I didn’t know there would be questions about the 3D games and Netflix show 🙄 😝

@MontyCircus definitely. But it’s crazy we’re getting these at all! I’m old enough to have seen so many cool Japanese things never come here, that it still seems amazing when something I’d expect to never get now gets released in English.

People pay more for a morning or weekend Starbucks.

I’ll be getting pinball quest. There’s no way I’m trying to play it on the original hardware, and I want to support this. There are so many Japanese games I’d love to play with the type of overlay translations they’re doing here. Even playing games that were released in English, but playing them in Japanese with an overlay, would be worth it.

Damn. That’s almost worth getting on TikTok for. I want to hear her do a final fantasy iv style song, but in the style of bare knuckle!

They’re not that important to the hobby… they’re important to the internet…
