I already got Beyond Oasis. I remember reading about in GamePro back in the day but I had an SNES so I never got to play. I grabbed it the second it was released on VC. Cool game but I still haven't finished it.
So it's between ActRaiser and DKC2 now. DKC2 is looking like the winner.

I actually sorta kinda almost like The 7th Saga. There's probably way too much grinding, the game is entirely too difficult, and I'm quite sure there are some scenarios that are technically impossible to complete depending on what character you select and what opponents your character randomly draws at the critical gameplay junctures. But, considering the fact that my father not only beat the game when I was a teenager, but didn't enlist an ally throughout the entire playthrough thus completing the game solo, there must be some scenarios where finishing the game is a possibilty. It's unfortunate that I never came across one when I played the game.
Anyway, my father has also probably dumped 10,000+ hours into Op Europe, so he has threshold for pain that mere mortals can only marvel at.Anyway, I second PepsimanVsJoe's recommendation. There's a new generation out there that deserves to be hazed and The 7th Saga is definitely the solution.
Well, the one good thing I'll say about The 7th Saga is that it's certainly my go-to game if I want an RPG guaranteed to stomp me into the floor. Nothing does it better.
Actually, I guess there's one other good thing: its enormous overworld. Whole towns were optional, and just in general the size of the thing was such that any journey to anywhere from anywhere else was amazingly dangerous no matter how good you were with using the radar to avoid battles.

None have been rated, but Squeenix has released ActRaiser, Secret of Mana, and at some future point Ogre Battle on the North America VC. They've released Treasure Hunter G & Live a Live on the Japanese VC. So, they're are slowly but surely releasing their lesser known titles on the service. I would imagine some, if not all, of the three Soul Blazer trilogy will eventually be released, but the million dollar question is when - and it may very well be not any time soon. Almost picked up a Soul Blazer cartridge myself last year, but I held off.

I remember trying 7th Saga when I was younger. I remember picking a characters and dying. That's about all I can remember doing, but it looks like that might be normal. I think I picked the Cleric first. I think I died in a battle or two.

Most people found this thread to be too bloated and confusing to be of much use if you weren't one of the regulars, so a different thread was created with the sole purpose being to make the news easier to get at.beelzebozo said:

I never bitched!
But I am happy to see CVIII!
Now I want some Konami Genesis games!
Give me some Contra Hard Corps, Castlevania Bloodlines, and Rocket Knight.

ah, i gotcha. that's cool.
on topic, dracula's curse is a pretty damn rad game that is totally worth playing, presuming you can acclimate yourself to the very nes-ness of its mechanics. it's less frustrating than the first game, less confusing than the second game, it's certainly good looking, and the multiple playable characters give it a lot of variety. on a system where i contend that very few of the games hold up as truly enjoyable, it's one of the select few, really.

i'm still waiting on:
- blast corps
- duck tales 1&2
- quackshot
and, in fantasy-land, hoping they'll pick up dreamcast as a platform and put some stuff like toy commander up. but that's a pipe dream.

N64 games are obviously a lot of work to get done comparably, and since Nintendo does their platform emulation, fixes and testing inhouse, it's probably not worth it from their perspective to court 3rd party games yet. I'm not sure we'll see any 3rd party N64 games ever honestly... but if we do, I think high profile stuff from JP pubs or close partners (Ogre Battle, Shiren 2, RE2, Gomeon, Shadows of the Empire, Bomberman, etc) is probably the only possibility. And probably nothing with microcode work (ie: Factor-5, RARE or Boss games).
We better get 64DD stuff though. I'd totally pay out the points for F-Zero X-pansion. :lol

Sega and Capcom Disney games would do SO well on this service. I'm a little surprised Disney haven't pushed for it themselves honestly.beelzebozo said:

I'll agree with that list, but you know, I'd also like to see Buster's Hidden Treasure. I used to love that game as a kid, and I've really been wanting to play it again lately.beelzebozo said:

yeah, that's pretty good, though its connection to the looney tunes universe is tenuous at best. i loved bugs bunny birthday blowout when i was younger but with adult eyes it sort of sucks.

That was a fun AVGN as I remember loving the game too when I was a kid, but the flaws are really obvious.beelzebozo said:

It's kind of a shame as far as the Looney Tunes go.
Here's a list of games they appeared in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Looney_Tunes_video_games
I doubt that's a complete list. But of the ones contained on there, the only standout is Crazy Castle. And even that was originally a Roger Rabbit game that was altered for licensing reasons.
There have been a lot of "just okay" LT games. I recall finding enjoyment from Death Valley Rally, Rabbit Rampage, Porky's Haunted Holiday, Taz-Mania(SNES), Duck Dodgers...actually, almost all of the Sunsoft library was ok.
I really did like both Taz games for the Genesis. There was some unique and fast-paced gameplay in those titles.
Stylvester & Tweety and the Wile E. Coyote games for the Genny were both good, from what I remember. But I think I was more impressed with the animation and graphics than the game itself.
I think the Tiny Toon Adventures games were generally better.

They already released the TG16 version in Japan, which wasn't released elsewhere, so don't count on it.Vilix said:And this

definitely.
even though some people are bagging on him for "selling out," i'm excited to see warren spector working with the mickey mouse universe. i wish someone would show the looney tunes universe that same level of respect, though i'm not sure it has the same financial viability anymore.

No, it doesn't.
But I think it's a fair fact that all of the Tiny Toons games across every system were great. Even the Game Boy and Genesis ones were gold.
Heck, there was even one for the Gameboy Advance that was developed by Treasure. Was it good? It was OK. It wasn't as much a platformer as it was a beat-em-up. So I was a little disappointed. But it's a cool game.

I actually watched a video on it this weekend. It was rather surprising to see that franchise as a beat-em up. It looked a tad dull, but that might have just been the narrator. I was impressed by the graphics and sheer number of secondary characters though.

Pretty sure they haven't given a release date. They wanted to get it out before Christmas, but they're still working on it because they decided to add bonus content like DLC.beelzebozo said:

interestingly, the first crazy castle was just a reskin of the famicom disk system ROGER RABBIT game (which makes even less sense considering the settings.) Still sucks just the same, though. :lol
epmode said:
it trounces the nes version, probably the best soundtrack on the system as well. i'll probably still pick the vc one for the sake of convenience, but i know i'll just stick to the famicom cart as i play this game on a monthly basis.
