Now if we can just get the Simpsons and Alien VS Predator arcade games. I'd be a happy gamer.

Hah! Fragile Dreams, the most depressingly emo game I have ever played. It was decent though, but god, lighten the tone.
Good/Bad news on Xillia, good that it's coming out, bad that I'm going to have to import it. The lack of a 360 port pretty much eliminates any chance of a US release, lets face it. |

I thought Nier did pretty well compared to other J-RPGs Square Enix released on the home consoles, mainly Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant and Star Ocean IV. Resonance of Fate and Fragile Dreams are both surprisingly awesome (and the latter is really one of the only Wii games I liked aside No More Heroes and Tatsunoko Vs Capcom). It's nice that Sega can still make some really awesome J-RPG series, now if they could only do something with Skies of Arcadia, like a sequel or remake...
As for the X-Men arcade game, I used to play that maniacally with my friends at the local roller rink as a kid. We'd collect token coupons and each have a specific character to play as, but every night they'd unplug all the games so our high scores would be erased. I'd say it's definitely worth purchasing. |

I bought Sakura Wars for the Wii on Black Friday and my son and I both love it! I am on Episode 8 and will probably re-play it when I finish. Of course, I would love to see actual dating sims brought over and released in the US, in addition to the rest of the Sakura Wars line-up and the new web game...

Time Killers: I heard this game was pretty gruesome since you could take off your opponent's arms and continue fighting them that way.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Online FF RPGs are a colossal waste of time and effort. I'm a bit irked they decided to report FF4 yet again and add the After Years with it (I downloaded all the episodes weeks ago). MvC3: I still want to see Blanka in a MvC. Irem games: Dragon Breed was an awesome game, made for a dragon nut like me...and they forgot DinoCity. Now that was one of Irem's best creations. Surprised they didn't port that one. Tales of Xillia: Terrific, another awesome Tales game we won't get. I'm surprised that both Fujishima and Inomata worked together on this one. Meanwhile, we still want Innocence, Vesperia PS3, Graces, Graces F, Hearts, RM2 and RM3 -_- Fragile Dreams: I've been curious to try this, and from what I've seen on YouTube it looks like a decent game. Nier: I heard that about half of the gaming crowd did enjoy Nier, but you're right; 50% pretty much means no one paid attention to it. Resonance of Fate: Truth be told, I think the problem with tri-Ace lies in people actually caring about the next Valkyrie Profile since Star Ocean is officially over and Undiscovery was a poor debacle. I still have yet to play this, and once I get a PS3 I will add it. Silmeria's battle system was fun to master and this game steps that up. I'm surprised not many got into this one. Sin & Punishment: I own this one. Pretty fun shooter game, though I haven't finished it yet. I'm pretty sure people who did play it didn't play it for the plot or character designs. It's all about challenge and max rankings. X-Men Arcade: Hey now Dazzler is pretty awesome. Don't diss the energy blasts baby!

Despite the high Euro prices, you can go to MangaGamer.com for some dating sims of the eroge and all-ages kind. |

10-15 years from now Skies of Arcadia will probably re-released in a "yellow-ray" bundle along with 24 other Sega games for the low price of $10. Then all the people who paid $70+ for the DC or GC versions will go, "Damn! If only I had waited another decade..." Phantasy Star IV for $100 when it was first released for Genesis. Later re-released for $20 on the PS2/PS3 (along with 20 or so other Genesis games, many of them equally great, just to rub it in). 
Chrono Trigger, that's another game I paid $90 for when it was first released new on the SNES. Later got it again for only $10 for the PS1 (couldn't help it, I wanted FF IV). Still, cartridge versions play better so those 80 extra dollars are worth it! Right? RIGHT?

I got my GC Skies of Arcadia for like $20, I realize that SoA rocks, but does it really go for that much now?

Yah, it's very rare now. I saw it for $20 just 3 years ago, now good luck getting it for cheaper than $50. DC version probably goes for $100 or more. I also got burned on Suikoden 2. I saw it for $20 back in 2005-ish but didn't get it. A year later it was selling for $100 used in the same store. |

I always thought it was pretty obvious After Years was going to be ported eventually. |

Dang, thought I saw something that the sales for Sakura Wars were better than expected for a PS2 game in this day and age. Guess not as good as they had hoped though.
Loved the game, like someone else, bought a PS2 just to play it. Really loved the extreme Laura Bailey factor. Yeah, it is super tame and cheesy, but that does not preclude a fun story and game. |

Random nitpicky correction #2: That is Storm's current costume. What's old is new again!

This is the second time today that a gaming site has mentioned Nier as a title that is worth playing, but was overlooked thanks to relatively little marketing and the large number of bigger games.

Too bad Sega didn't actually make the game. Tri Ace did (Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, etc). They just published it. The only one they still do is Phantasy Star, by the looks of things. Oh, and Yakuza (is it considered an RPG?)
But they ARE making a Dreamcast collection next year! No idea what will be on it though... Last edited by Sheleigha on Wed Dec 15, 2010 10:41 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Actually if you're quick enough, you can decapitate your opponent immediately at the start of the round. Yeah, the game is a mess. And yet I couldn't get enough of it when I was 15. |
