With how cool and different their games tend to be (from Act Raiser to RoboTrek), I just wish more Enix-published games came out here in the West
I actually like the "sketchy" ones. I've made it a goal to play through all of the SNES RPGs released in the US. I started with many of the big name JRPGs but have now worked my way through most of those and am getting into stuff that some folks would consider bottom of the barrel. You know what? I'm still finding stuff to enjoy, and I'm about halfway through overall. Unfortunately I'm starting to run out of JRPGs, so that means I'll need to spend more time focusing on my WRPGs soon...Tanooki wrote:SNES gets a lot of love for RPGs, but if you get beyond the well known Square/Squaresoft/Enix stuff, it gets kind of sketchy and very hit and miss based on design/personal taste but Natsume (Lufia) and HAL(Arcana) have some decent offerings, but there's a lot of really passable or worse drek too. Your statement I imagine stands pretty firm even if you're not so certain.
I don't read moon language, so yeah, it would be on my Retron 5. As for the price, that's just what's on eBay right now, but there aren't many listings. I don't have the money to buy it now anyway, so I haven't looked at import shops online - just eyeballing current listings.alienjesus wrote:If it's the Retron5 or similar I'm not 100% sure the SF memory carts work on the console. I'd also be worried about erasing them.
$150 seems a little high though, unless the price has jumped a lot since I last looked a few months ago. About £70 or so seemed to be the going rate (at least cart only) when I looked - roughly $110 or so.
Kind of got me curious what you've played, will play, and if this is just US releases we're talking or patched to english games too. I've slimmed down my set of games quite a lot as my mood has soured, but I've kept the higher tier RPG and ActionRPG stuff though more or less (though I do need to get Illusion of Gaia again sometime.) As it stands now from memory I've got from third parties Soul Blazer, Secret of Mana, FF2, FF2, FFMQ, Super Mario RPG, Ogre Battle...I think that's it. ...and then there's Earthbound from Nintendo. I know some would probably toss Zelda on there too I suppose.Ack wrote:I actually like the "sketchy" ones. I've made it a goal to play through all of the SNES RPGs released in the US.

But shouldn't it be six to go?:Ack wrote:So yeah...five to go on fighters
Ultimate Fighter is actually a beat 'em up that offers a 2 player versus fight mode, similar to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time.Exhuminator wrote:But shouldn't it be six to go?:Ack wrote:So yeah...five to go on fighters
I'm curious what the overall consensus would be for essential English-patched JRPGs. I know Bahamut Lagoon is popular but there's a LOT of other games I'd put ahead of it. Live-a-Live has to be up there. Seiken Densetsu 3 and Rudra no Hihou as wellBoneSnapDeez wrote:The latter is subjective of course, but you know what I mean. Games like Bahamut Lagoon, Final Fantasy V, Front Mission, and so on.
