Console release plz

I don’t really understand the appeal of video game soundtracks on vinyl. Is it just because there are no longer any other physical media to play game soundtracks off of since cds are dead?

@Sketcz PS, thought that was you… thanks for your books! Looking at one of them on my shelf as I tap this. I’m grateful they exist. I know it wasn’t easy!

@Sketcz you’re doing gods work, as they say. I’m sure you’re aware there are some YouTube videos about it as well, which is how I first found out about it… I think???

I wish Nintendo didn’t suck, so that they’d translate this and release it worldwide. Hey, it might actually make NSO worth having.

@Spookles oh Mercutio. Methinks thou doth protestest overmuch.

I’m not normally a furry, but wowa wee wa, I’m in for the shooting action and cute cat girl. Consoles or it didn’t happen tho

Oh my god. How did I not know about this til now? Day one purchase for me. I was still busy hoping for a maniac mansion remaster. I daresay this is maybe even better.

@norwichred ugh that’s crazy. Definitely do remember the series, yep, and the reboot as well.

@norwichred wait what? Fred savage was like 11 in this movie.

I watched it recently, fully expecting it to not live up to my childhood memories and be terrible. Just the opposite. It was actually so much better as an adult than I remembered as a kid. Also, yay for Autistic gamer kid before that kind of thing was cool in movies. Represent.

@RetroGames This version appears to be based visually on the super famicom version of DQ3, not the sfc dq1+2.

Don’t suppose there’s much chance of DQ2 getting this treatment as well… Underrated!

Jane Jensen (Gabriel knight) deserves a lot of credit for her work on KQ6…

There was an NES version of KQ5, too. I agree about 4-6 being the good ones!

They do koshiro a lot I guess! Underrated musical genius

I wish sega would do this for their own games. It’s too bad it’s left to fans to do it. But bless them for doing so and making old treasures like this accessible.

The last Ancient game available in the US as far as I know was Gotta Protectors on switch. It’s hilarious and, of course, has great and authentic music.

Ancient needs to release some kind of compilation in the US. I feel like we’ve missed a lot. I want this and have no idea about Wada’s other games.

For the record tho her belly isn’t that plump!

It’s clearly yuji naka in the suit.

I butchered my American SNES to get it to play super famicom carts tho.

Hmm. But 1987 USA version 1.0 differs from the original Japanese release, which was a famicom disk system title. They had to basically invent bank switching and battery backup to cram Zelda into a cart for the US 1.0.

@smoreon apparently is a sharp LR35902 core based around a Zylog Z80… 4.19 MHz!

You know, he talks about the short loops on the lunar: silver star sega cd soundtrack. The problem with that is they were redbook audio cd tracks, so every time they looped, it would pause as the track went back to the beginning. It was not a good effect. I think he has some selective memory going on.

@Soupbones yes, the same! And in the game gear, of course, and the game boy.

I’m trying to remember if it was used in any other systems…

In my opinion it’s more important for powering the Nintendo game boy, the best selling system of the entire 20th century.

Or was pac-man its first video game use or something?

@DestructoDisk the sad thing is the sonic games sell, whether they’re a critical success or not, so sega never really gets it. Depressing. Meanwhile soul hackers 2 (which I really enjoyed, tho needed improvements for sure) has disappeared without a trace, and it’ll be just persona and mainline smt forevermore (which is fine, just like the more obscure stuff too)

Sonic fans are long storied for being abused and coming back, over and over… but what I didn’t understand is they seem to like the abuse! (To be fair I think Sonic frontiers had the skeleton of a decent game, despite being hilariously… uh… not great…)

That slime world game is not great. Doesn’t inspire much hope for the rest.

Hoping for English

I had a lunar: eternal blue soundtrack cd in the 90s, Japanese but probably a bootleg. Man I loved that cd. I listened to it almost as much as the lunar: the silver star sega cd redbook audio tracks.

@Poodlestargenerica did people use 3rd party controllers? I remember the 3do controller being kinda iffy in my limited exposure. You could always try out the free version of sc2 free stars on Steam, based on the 3do version; you can plug in a controller.

Hey, maybe you could use your 3do controller? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa………

I’d rather have a golden axe game that isn’t a 3D polygonal crapfest

@Poodlestargenerica I think the pc version of sc2 is plenty more beloved than the 3do version. The 3do version is cool, but one reason it stands out is cause there aren’t many good games on 3do. That said, I would really prefer to play this on console (and I did play sc1 and 2 on pc!)

I hope they hit the goal for console versions.

Well that didn’t last long. Not cool using other people’s work…

Hope it holds up! Seiken Densetsu 1 and 2 nostalgia goes a long way with me. I’m still sore we never got 3. But anything after that doesn’t really do it much for me. So we’ll see.

Hmm. The dates listed for what the books cover sure are all over the place! Maybe that’s because it’s by topic rather than chronological? I mostly only care about famicom, game boy, and super famicom, personally.

I like his music. But sheesh he does some kinda odd stuff. :/

Put it on consoles for $40 and we’ll talk

I feel like a lot of segas reboots are going to be not so great. It’s hard to be excited.

@Daniel36 I really liked it in dungeon encounters (design by the guy who did the original active time battle in ffiv, its first appearance). It’s aged well! I liked how it would pause in dungeon encounters and had a timeline.

@RetroGames yeah that’s a good point. The snes port really is sad when you think about it. The music would have been the biggest technical hurdle, and I thought it turned out pretty neat. My friend accused me of renting it because I liked the music. I swore the game play was ok… and I guess it was… but it was no rondo! Even the remixing could have been tolerated, but what a bummer overall.

I don’t get how the interface works. Is it sort of like snatcher or phoenix wright?

@mandlecreed just so they don’t turn it into an action game

I got it on snes the day it came out. I feel like I called waldensoftware every day asking if it was out yet!

This looks neat! Hope it comes to consoles. What do they mean, action battle system? Is it not turn based? Or they mean Mario rpg style button tapping with the turn based system?

@DestructoDisk I tend to agree with you. But the psx version of sotn doesn’t use redbook audio does it? I think it’s fairly low grade digital audio (all one recorded track vs using midi, and “streamed” from the disc rather than being read as redbook tracks from the cd itself, unless they are tracks not accessible by a normal cd player somehow, but I’m not sure that existed)

But either way, as said, I tend to agree with you, and also hate to shatter interesting dreams/hypotheses!

@RetroGames this is probably neither here nor there, but the version of rondo of blood that made it to super famicom is pretty underwhelming. … just have to think that if sotn started as a super famicom demo sort of thing, then why is rondo on super famicom so impaired. But, again, neither here nor there…

Fascinating. Never knew any of this! I would have ate up these rumors as a kid.

It works ok-ish on the series consoles at least, or well enough that I grabbed sine mora, a few others, and am hoping blue dragon and lost odyssey are cheap to get as well. While this type of thing is always depressing, at least it’s been basically backward compatible on their current gen all this time. Sure can’t say that about ps3 on ps4/5, or wii on switch!!!
