I just ordered Dragonforce on Saturn super excited to play heard it was really good.. 8)
Oh it's good stuff man. I personally love the game. It gets really hard to keep track of all your generals as you get deep into the game, so I advise keeping a notepad at your side or something.

I still haven't dived too deeply into Dragonforce yet, but it feels like the kind of game that needs more mechanical sequels, like how Ogre Battle does. More emphasis on the army building and manuevering and less on unit micro.

Well, financially speaking, DS3 for PSX is worth a lot more than VS on Saturn. However, this is one of those things I'll just never understand, like how XvSF, MSHvSF and MvC for the PlayStation are more valuable than their Saturn and Dreamcast breathen.

I guess people care more about the convenience of playing it on a PlayStation, and as such are more willing to pay a lot more cash for a crippled product.

Case in point:

MvC for PSX is, on average, worth $20 more than the Dreamcast version, despite its obvious flaws.

I wonder if some of it is just blatant ignorance that it's out at all on those consoles. And hey, dead systems just don't hold much weight with people, especially when there's not some newfangled contraption to play my old games, like the PlayStation family.

Just a quick note. When Capcom released these Vampire Savior and the Vs. games in Japan for the Playstation, they carried an "EX Edition" after their name. In the US they scrapped the EX Edition and just released them as a normal and otherwise acceptable ports. I always thought they shouldn't have done it. The EX tag was like an apology from Capcom to gamers: "We did the best we could, but all we could come up with was this."

So the Japanise EX version is the one to get, correct? Because I just read this AFTER I just purchased the regular version.

No, they're pretty much the same. I just thought it was more honest of Capcom to include that "EX Edition" in the name because the PS ports were almost different games (though to be fair I thought the Vampire Savior port was pretty decent).
