It seems there was a bunch of these games that were translated but scrapped at the 11th hour. I'd love to know why and someone should come forward with the info.

That said: I'd also like to see these leak, but I'd doubt that'll happen and if it did it wouldn't be big news since there is no X-box emulator for the masses to run them.

Yeah, we reviewed Rent A Hero, too. It was all ready to go.

I had the disk for many years after the fact, but I think it was lost to time. It wasn't playable on a regular Xbox, mind.

Would prefer Otogi before MWC. From Software need to jump on the Kickstarter bandwagon and get some games made.

 

[Kusagari]

Why hasn't From put the Otogi games on demand or something?

I have crazy dreams about Otogi + Frostbite 2.0.

It's "out there".

This game looks like it has the coolest looking President ever! I am floored I've never heard of this game.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Wow, I was just thinking about this game two days ago.

It was a blast.

 

[MC Safety]

I don't doubt it. The game was completely localized and all but to the market. We even ran ads for the game in Xbox Nation.

I forget the publisher, though. I don't think it was Metro 3D, the company that was bringing over Dinosaur Hunting.

Yu Suzuki did Rent-A-Hero, right? I remember him talking up the fact that it was using the Shenmue engine and talking about all the possibilities it had...

The fact that all of us here are talking about a bunch of old games that we want to have remastered and brought to this generation may say something about the quality of games nowadays or the fact that many of them were nigh unobtainable.

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

I can understand it from all sides.

Metal Wolf Chaos has a cool everything but the whole President/VP beef makes for a hard sale elsewhere.

I'm intelligent enough to see the story as satire as most of us are but other people just wouldn't be able to get over that hump to save their lives.

I'm glad we have people like Vic who want to bring this to the masses regardless. Thank you sir. I really hope you can convince who you need to so we can all enjoy this game.

This does seem like a perfect time to bring the game out seeing as it is an election year and all. I can see FOX NEWS now. All the free publicity you could ever want.

 

[RoboPlato]

I would pay good money for a PSN release of this. I adore every thing I've seen of it.

 

[Criminal Upper]

I should make a spiritual OT.

 

[distantmantra]

Last time I was in Tokyo (April 2010), Metal Wolf Chaos was going for ~$120+ in used shops.

AIA.

Man, just watched some more vids of this and its such a shame there isn't an XBLA release. I'd instabuy it at a tenner, but on ebay its ~£100+ (!).

 

[BattleMonkey]

Because only a small niche even knows about this game.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

Figured it would be okay to bump since it's the 4th of July and 'MURRICA.

I'd buy a digital release of this game so fast it isn't even funny.
