Yeah, it was released yesterday

Man, I guess it's the usual Italy-input-delay of Rising Star (just like Deadly Premonition and Dodonpachi, which arrived here quite a bit after UK release) cos I didn't see it anywhere.

So jealous right now.

 

[haikira]

Damn. Amazon really pulled through on this one. Was expecting/hoping for it to be a day early. But sure, I'll take this.

=D

It's the same in Germany. Only uk got copies.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Is this a Mirror's Edge thing?

No, no, no, no. He is obviously a faun, hence the cloven shoes.

Thank you. It's difficult to find shoes that fit.

Turns out I can't run for shit in them, though. Anybody want to buy some shoes?

 

[FrankNitty]

Got a medium-sized pink purse for the EX girlfriend. :-/

We were together my entire four years in college, but she was a year younger than me, and we broke up this past December during her senior year. It sucks breaking up, and it's especially hard to try to do something like this. But she was my college life, and I know I was *her* college life; and so I felt I should congratulate her and wish her the best in all her future endeavors.

Good man, stay classy!!

[Bgamer90]

The spider inside the Genesis box was enormous and terrifying. If this was a 90s commercial, it would have yelled 'SEGA' at me.

lol hilarious

Why do people buy japanese girl anime figures? Not hating, just curious.

Because they like them.

The same way you buy a picture/poster/vase/flowers or a decoration thing.

Some Playstation Castlevanias.

 

[FStop7]

Not my usual style but they caught my eye.

 

[Lucent]

Some Playstation Castlevanias.

They offered these digitally to PS+ subscribers (in the US at least) recently for free. I've played SotN several times but never Chronicles. I played a bit just to see what it's like. Seems really old school for a Playstation game. I haven't read much about it so I dunno how good it is and if it was a remake.

Chronicles was a slightly revamped version of the Castlevania on the Sharp X68000, which itself was a remake of the original Castlevania.

It's definitely old school and doesn't play as smoothly as say... Super Castlevania IV, but it's still quite a fun game. I actually just played through it again a couple of weeks ago.

 

[BocoDragon]

Whoa. They actually put Iga's name on the box

Yeah.. It's actually a port of a 1993 game on the Sharp X68000 computer

 

[Lucent]

Oh wow, okay. Yeah I never heard of that system. Heh. =P

Yeah, I never really played the old NES/SNES Castlevania's much. SotN was the first one I really got into and completed. Playing Chronicles a bit was just a little off-putting because the movement isn't as smooth. And you still have to press up or down to traverse staircases like the old games.

I did find it kind of strange how similar the beginning castle hall is to SotN though. Similar windows and everything. Even the zombie enemies.

But I won't say anything else. lol. I'm turning this into a Castlevania thread when it's about stuff you picked up during the month. >_<

Chronicles contains two remakes of the original Castlevania for MSX2. The first one is the remake they made for the Sharp X68000, it features nice graphics a nicely redone OST and is apparently very difficult! The other one is a remaster with remixed tunes (that I don't like AT ALL) some redrawn graphics and character designs from Ayami Kojima (the Simon Belmont with red hair is in that game).


EDIT: I need to remeber to refresh the page when I'm replying to someone....

EDIT 2: Oh yeah! You can't jump off staircases... I can't believe they stuck with that design choice after all those suicides...

Is the backup battery in Pokemon Silver still good? My Red and Blue still have working backup batteries, but Silver didn't last nearly as long.

 

[snkryo]

Yes im since i will be playing Halo anniversay. At the moment I'm not in the mood to play any gameboy game but I will play pokemon silver on a later date. It's funny because I was going give this package back to the thrift store employee until I noticed within the plastic bag that a game was inserted and it was pokemon silver and I was I'll take it.

Yes it still works.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

Speaking of NTSC-J games - is there a all-inclusive list of games that have English patches? I was planning on picking up Tales of Phantasia and was curious if any other RPGs or other games had English patches. (I already have Policenauts).

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

I did find it kind of strange how similar the beginning castle hall is to SotN though. Similar windows and everything. Even the zombie enemies.

every time the demon castle comes back it changes but it always keeps the main entrance hall and clock tower
