Yeah, I'll be buying Sakura Wars, just out of retro-curiosity. It's probably too little, too late for the series as a whole in Mother America, though.

A SAKURA WARS GAME GETTING LOCALIZED

Neat, who's bringing it over?

...



And Cross Edge got localized?  How the hell?  Capcom actually let them?

What is going on over there?

Lunar gets another remake.

It's almost like the Street Fighter 2 of RPGs.  Except Final Fantasy 1 has that honor.

I think they're both about 20 iterations behind Ys I.

Still, both Ys and Final Fantasy have actual, you know, sequels.  Lunar gave us one good sequel and a Game Gear spinoff and then retracted into a perfect little ball to recover the same territory over and over forever.

No, Dragon Song did not exist.  I don't know what you're talking about sir.

What bugs me about remaking Lunar is that the game has no replay value. Regular battles are just what you'd expect from an average RPG, and all the boss battles go: Alex --> special sword attack, Kyle --> special sword attack, Jessica --> Heal, Mia --> most recent magic spell, Nash --> same fucking spell through most of the game. There's no customization, no strategy, nothing.

Now, the same could be said for almost every RPG, but at least they aren't being remake several times over. And at least Lunar 2 had those magic things you could equip to give your characters a few different spells - which still wasn't much.

Well between the SCD and Saturn/PS1 remakes of Lunar there was a pretty major overhaul of the battle system and both of them really were more involved than the standard JRPG fare (it still remains one of the few games where I'll actually weigh the choice between attacking and casting a spell) so I'm not complaining about that.

Still, there's only so many ways to round out the wheel.

One of my best friends worked for them while Lair was being made. In fact, I believe he designed the first level. It was amusing to me that for years, while lots of people on the internet were waiting anxiously for the game's release, he was telling me how goddamn fucking awful it was going to be thanks to all the meddling on Sony's part and the incompetence of his boss.

Console sales take a beating.

I WAS going to use my last check to finally bite on a 360 or PS3 and finally join the next generation, but it might be worth it to sit on my ass for just a biiiiiit longer and see if they're forced to chop prices any.  It's not like I actually get to PLAY videogames anymore anyway.

At least browse around and find one of the bi-monthly sales where they throw in like five free games.

The best reason for a 360 these days will be because you want to do some bustin' with us.

Oh, great.  And here I was thinking it was an easy choice, since the only next-gen game I still cared about at the moment was MGS4.
