Good reminder that I still need to try this as well as that spiritual successor for the Saturn.
Oh wow, that came out of nowhere! Always wanted to play this since seeing the Happy Video Game Nerd review years ago.
I would like to see Enemy Zero modernized.

I'll be honest, the first D I think is only okay, but I'll definitely be picking it up. It does have its charms, but I never thought it was anything too special by itself.
However, I do love it for the creator and his other work, and what D set into motion. In the picture of the whole of Kenji Eno's games, I think it's absolutely fascinating. Though I hope Enemy Zero and D2 come to Steam & GOG, as in my opinion those were much better and more interesting games made by him I would love to play again (they're not perfect, but there's nothing else like them).
While nice to have D on Steam now, I hope this is a sign of things to come and not just only being D on Steam. I also will add Kenji Eno has a place in my heart as one of my biggest inspirations as a small game creator, I'm sad anytime I remember he's passed away. He was truly one of the most imaginative and creative game director's out there, and though his games had their flaws, there is nothing else like them and I enjoyed every one (even D, which is my least favorite and I think only 'alright'). I'm happy his oddball games have grown into something of a cult legacy and not been forgotten, especially his 'D Trilogy'.

I was really confused and read it as

Enemy Zero could in theory be brought to Steam since it had a PC version released back in the day. D2 would be much trickier given that it was only released for the Dreamcast.

Is this emulated, or a native PC port?
Native PC Port.

E0 shouldn't be too hard, I believe the PC port is actually uncensored.
D2 never had a pc port so I have less hope for this one. Would love one though as I always wanted a version of the game without switching out 4 disks.
If it does come please give us the uncensored version.
I would love a port of Real Sound as I never got to play that one. That one should be easy as there are no graphics, just a translation to English if possible.

Damn, I forgot HVGN existed. I wonder what he's up to now.

I'll likely pick this up (I have no control when it comes to Steam ports).
I actually had this on the 3DO of all systems, then got really hyped-up over the then 3DO M2-exclusive sequel (D2). I really loved D2 on the Dreamcast (easily my favorite Kenji Eno game), but I would have really liked to see that M2 version in some form. It seemed to be unrelated to the Dreammcast game (other than the plane crash, at some point).

I don't see a price. Anyone know how much it costs? I've always wanted to play this.
I think it's dead in the water. Their last crowdfunding campaign failed to meet its goal, and they've been radio silent to backers since March of last year. Even the "official" WARP2 messageboard is dead, with the latest post dating back to October 2014.

Oh wow! This is completely out of nowhere. Will definitely buy, loved the original PSX release.

Yup. It's because of this guy that I know who Kenji Eno is. He has other videos where he talks about D's predecessor Enemy Zero and D's successor D2 on Dreamcast.
Super interesting and a required watch for anyone with a passing curiosity over Eno's works.

He retired the HVGN character long ago. He opened a patreon and changed names to StopSkeletonsFromFighting. He made it more his own thing and churns out content way more quickly now than he did back then.
Still as insightful as ever but without the HVGN chains.
Look him up in YouTube.
5.99 USD on GOG but there could be a launch/Halloween discount.

So the release was postponed? When the timer expired, the message changed to "This item is not yet available."

Update: It's gone live on Steam.
And indeed it is on sale till November 3.
Not really. It's been available for months now on GOG.com.

D who?
Haha, I love how they had to add 'The Game' just to make this thing searchable. Eno going with a single letter title (particularly a letter that ends up in more titles than you'd think) was pretty ballsy.

I had forgotten about the GOG release until later in the day.

Loved this game.
I still have my copies of D (Saturn), Enemy Zero (Saturn) and D2 (Dreamcast).
If only these games were updated in VR and with modern HD graphics.
Exploring D's mansion, the Aki or the Canadian Mountains in full 360 VR would be awesome.
Kenji Eno was truly ahead of his time

This is still saddening, there really was only one Kenji Eno.
