I've always wanted to play the Saturn version of Symphony of the Night but apparently the extra areas were made by a B-team that were rushed to hell and don't really fit with the rest of the game. The new Richter sprite looked like ass too.

Took me way too long to realize this game was basically a classic MM, right down to the jump animation, with BN embellishments. Also has 2 of my favorite songs in the series.

If I remember right the first No More Heroes got a PS3 port. That everyone proceeded to also not play.

But fuck me I would kill a man for a Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom 2. It was the first fighter I ever really got into and tried online play with, unfortunately it was right as the scene was starting to die off.

>>
>>343987450

Eh, it had good intentions and I liked it when I was 14 but it's pretty fundamentally flawed. The idea of blending typical action adventure design and Sonic speed just doesn't work, the morality system was conceptually intriguing given the main character but it devolved into branching mission objectives which loops back into the previous point, and the less said about the absolute schlock that is the game's story and dialogue the better. I still have my copy, I booted it up for a run on its 10th anniversary because why not, and it's no gem but it's not quite the train wreck it's made out to be either so I guess in that sense it's a bit underrated.

Not really. Shadow feels wrong to control, replaying level 1 10 times or whatever gets old, and the kill all enemy objectives suck.

That being said the game is a wonderfully campy edge.

Well, by Suda standards people did play the Wii version of 1. If I recall correctly it did about 100k which was enough for a sequel. I wonder if he still has any plans to do NMH3; he said Travis' story was done but he was up for a third game when Nintendo released new hardware for it. I don't think he predicted the WiiU would be what it was, though.

It's a bit dated and not amazing by any means, but for a first person hack and slash on the Dreamcast of all things, it was pretty ambitious.

Still fun though, and it's got some neat mechanics. It's sad the re-release was crappy, I'd love a remake with a better control scheme that wasn't built around the Dreamcast's bizarre one-analogue controller.

This game's saving grace was that the nonsensical mission branches meant you could just skip your way around some of the shittier levels if you wanted.
