Tokyo Xanadu basically takes the bonding days and anime aesthetic of the Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel titles and mixes it with the action goodness of the Ys series. Definitely going to wait for eX+. I just hope Aksys turns out a better localization job than they did for Exist Archive (which had quite a few sloppy errors).

No one is immune to fsteak. XD
Super NES Classic: The absence of Chrono Trigger is an odd one, but at least Star Fox 2 will have an official translation job and everything. That cancellation was really unnecessary, but those were the times.

I might have to check out Tokyo Xanadu. Persona 4 Golden is my favorite game, so something that is similar, and aware of it to the point that it references characters, might be a good fit for me.

What a weird sense of timing; I just finished NoClip's series yesterday, and that had been right after finishing a series it itself recommends, The Fall and Rise of FFXIV. I liked them both, even with just the cursory knowledge of 1.0 that I'd gleaned over the years, and I liked that they both had wildly different perspectives to present.

A game about roller-skating through Tokyo? Cool, and...oh, that's not what it's about. 
(And yes, although I liked them both, I did prefer the "lighter tone" of Persona 4 to the darker paranoid soapboxing of the current one, which was why I was so attracted to the AkibaStrip/Beat games.
If Persona has started a new subgenre about "Part-time downtown high-school monster-hunting", I'm open to see who does it right.)

They didn't really stand out enough to mention in the article, but if you're concerned about that I definitely ran across some typos and text errors.

Are they in the main status menu anywhere?

I am unsure if it can be simply assumed that one console's library has matured with more grace than the other's. Given how time has left its toll on the SNES' forays into polygonal 3D games, Star Fox in particular, the unabashed graphical simplicity of the NES seems a modicum more charming. Indeed, consider how Mario's original sprites still appear in the latest of his titles.

Well that's some small relief. Thanks for checking. Now to see how many are elsewhere once the game comes out on PS4.

I'll be getting Crash in the morning, oh yeah don't look at Gamespot's review on the game, it not only sucks, but they might not even know what a platformer is or it's mechanics are anymore.

Finding and buying the SNES Classic should be a bit simpler now, thanks to the 1-unit-per-customer limit placed onto it...

No worries there, Hoppy. I doubt anyone takes Gamespot or IGN seriously these days. XD

Tokyo Xanadu sounds interesting but the dullness between dungeons kind of puts me off. The affinity stone concept sounds kinda depressing too lol. Maybe I'll wait for the day it gets massively reduced and scoop it up then.

The "affinity" between party members mostly affects the events and eventual items/stats you can get - quests, battle,certain responses you can choose during cutscenes and certain books you can read are far more important in order to get the real ending and (in the eX+ version) the After Story part.
That said I'd say the eX+ version is the version to choose, as its additions are really significant compared to the Vita version (unlike the recent Ys VIII PS4 version, where the additions - if you've played the Vita version that is - don't really justify the purchase).
