Ys 1-2

That and it's annoying to constantly read about all the Turbo bashing in magazines and on sites because the reviewers are dopey and grew up playing Mario Kart and Sonic only because they weren't cool enough to have a TG back in the day.

Gamer's loyalty was a thing that the TG-16 really had going against it back in the day.  I can't even begin to describe the number of Nintendo and Sega loyalists who were gung-ho about their consoles and proceeded at every opportunity to slam the TG.  You look at it in retrospect and you could see how pathetically sad it really was.

yep yep.

Back then I had all 3.  I played the Sega and Turbo more.  but i didnt care.   It was about the games not the label.

............Mario is still a tool though! :-D

I read that they fixed the filtering issue.

Goody, no more blurry cataract filtering.  Is it a selectable option?  Are they going to extend it to the other games?

Time to get some more Wii points.

Or I suppose I could just fire up my Duo again.  Am I a sucker for buying the game yet again?

I downloaded it today and I like the fact that its widescreen and doesn't look stretched but it does look rather pixely.  The sound is quite good and I can't say I'm an audiophile but I was expecting the mp3 quality to be a little muffled.  I didn't have a chance to do a comparison as my turbo is in storage on the moment(had to make room in the baby's nursey).  The colors did look very vibrant to me but I've never seen rgb in action so I don't know if it's up to that quality.  The pixely look I'm referring to is in the opening sequence during scrolling animations.  The actual gameplay seems a little faster but maybe its just been a while since I played.  Anything else different anybody has noticed?  I think they did a pretty good job.

YES! It's about DAMN TIME!!!

Ys! For the VC!

Now everyone can marvel in the splendor of this game!

Oh yeah, 800 posts!

 I think it should be an option.

[Dark Fact]

Doubtful that Hudson will make it an option.

Anyways, reviews are being put up all over the place and people really really don't like the collision combat in this game.

I've only read the IGN review so far, which was a fair review and better than I was expecting, but I get the feeling that the reviewer didn't finish the game. He seemed to like the combat system, but he totally didn't talk about how compelling the story was and how cool the villians were. He also said the graphics lacked detail, which I disagree with considering how many unique tiles there are throughout the game with some delicate detail in spots (Bell Tower is a great example); totally a step above other RPGs for it's time that repeated the same graphics throughout the game. I also cringed a little when he said the games originated on Sega systems and how he went on about Yuzo Koshiro without mentioning Ryo Yonemitsu.

gaming journalism is a bad joke.

[Arkhan]

leave it to a bunch of Wii totin kan00bies to complain about a retro game's combat system -_-

It reminds me of that time IGN said the remake of FF3 on DS sucked because it played like a 1990's RPG.

imaaaagineee that

I DL'd it from VC a few days ago, I am liking it.  If you don't have it and you have a wii it's worth it!
