Rumors have it that next might be Sonic Adventure 2 then the Shenmue games.

All of my money. Day 1 every fucking time if Sega brings them all to Steam (highly likely).

Pssst

New story elements will be added in the game. The original writer of Persona 2 will be writing the new scenarios.

I'm not sure whether to think if these guys are crazy awesome, or just plain crazy.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Damn....If this IS actually a serious attempt at making a good retro-game, then these guys are seriously dedicated to it. That said, they must know that the game will really only have a market among hardcore SNES collectors, since going by the pre-order limit they don't seem to be making a lot of copies (which kind of makes sense since the games just flat-out wouldn't sell beyond the crowd of really hardcore Nintendo fans, since most people, including myself, no longer own a working SNES console).

[Commode]

That's too bad about the 600 copies thing(I hope that's only an initial number, but taking the expense it must be to produce the game I'm feeling it's not), because I would love to check it out, but at that low of a number it seems unlikely I'd ever be able to.

That is so awesome.

My SNES is very much alive and kicking, and if I could actually manage to scrape together the money needed for such a thing, I am so there. Hopefully by then, I'll actually have a job again.

Hey, they're still making Dreamcast, NES, and Genesis games, so why not? Too bad they sell out so fast.

Genesis: Pier Solar
Dreamcast: GunLord

Look 'em up.

GunLord...that's ringing a bell.

So I went to pick up a used game today due to my free one and found they had a 3 for 1 deal going on. So I got R&CF:ToD, Quest For Booty, and Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition for the deal. It grabbed Umbrella Chronicles for my free game.

They did not have Crack In Time or Darkside Chronicles, so that's why those were purchased. Not that I can complain, I basically got 4 games for the price of one.

So basically four birds with one stone today.

Beautiful. I love it when stuff like that happens.

So the following games are being removed from the VC in Europe:

-R-Type (TG16)
-Super R-Type (SNES)
-R-Type III: The Third Lightning (SNES)
-Vigilante (TG16)
-Ninja Spirit (TG16)
-Legend of Hero Tonma (TG16)
-Military Madness: Nectaris (WiiWare)

Does anybody know which of these are worth getting? I mean I have Ninja Spirit (HIGHLY recommended for Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden fans) which is great, but if these get removed from the NA one it would be a shame to miss out since... Well, TG16 emulators are hard to get working.

[gunswordfist]

Never heard of it. Recommend more games like it.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Like Ninja Spirit? Well there's Alex Kidd In Shinobi World, the Ninja Gaiden trilogy, the non-Shadow Dancer Shinobi games, and games like those. They're pretty hard to come by now.
