3DO - Hated, Loved, Feared?

[ParanoiaDragon]

If I had a Wii, & they released a "fixed" version of Ys 3(scrolling issues fixed).  I'd buy that in a heartbeat, infact, I'd be more likely to buy a Wii, just for that.

If there were any cool modifications like that for VC games, I'd probably buy them. I'd definitely be interested in buying translated games.

[ParanoiaDragon]

That too!  I'd love to see translated games!

hopefully, enough people want this that they can make a profit... otherwise they won't do it.

So why haven't you bought Sin & Punishment Keranu?  That is a translated game, they did the title screen.  Plus it's the best rails shooter since Panzer Dragoon Zwei.

Knowing Sin & Punishment is on the Wii is the only good argument I have heard so far as to why one should own a Wii.  There's so many awesome old consoles, I don't understand why someone would buy one of the current generation machines.  I'd probably buy a Neo Geo home system before buying a 360, Wii or PS3.

My friend has that game on N64 and brought it over a couple of xmas ago. I played it for a bit but I just got kinda bored with it after about 30 mins. I guess I was expecting more since it was a Treasure title.

Truth.

I've thought about buying it, but I also thought it might be better to buy the real game instead. Depends if playing N64 imports is easy.

Is Sin and Punishment really that good? I'm not a huge fan of 3D games as it is and screenshots didn't look too appealing.

[Joe Redifer]

I never cared much for Sin and Punishment.  I've played the real game and all I remember is the camera at nearly foot-level with you running around shooting things in an ugly N64 environment.

[GUTS]

Well the graphics are mixed- the characters are really ugly but the environments look great.  The actual gameplay is f*cking awesome though if you love the genre (like myself), it's a rails shooter where you can also move your character left and right, jump, and duck with the yellow buttons.  Also, you can reflect just about any projectile in the game by double tapping fire, which is AWESOME when you send a bunch of missiles back at somebody. The levels variety is insane too, especially the last couple. 

Anyway, personally it's one of my favorite games of all time and one of the reasons I still own a N64, although I'd buy it on N64 over the Wii version just because it was designed for a N64 controller and not that garbage classic or gamecube controller shit (it'd be next to impossible to do well with a GC controller).

I don't own any import N64 games. Would I be able to play it on my US N64 or would I have to mod the console somehow?

If I decide to buy it I'll probably do what you said and just get the "real" version.

[ParanoiaDragon]

I think you'd have to mod it somehow, I think it's one of those mod that cartridge or slot deals, instead of soldering.  I remember there being a converter for N64, that played, US & Import N64, US & Import SNES, & US & Import NES.  I wish I could find that thing, I remember seeing it one time when I was at Game Dude, probably about 10 years ago.  Now I don't even remember what it was called, I'm almost started to doubt it's existence, because it sounded to good to be true!

You would need a JPN --> US converter.  It would be a small thing which would plug into the console, and then you would plug the game into it.  Like a game genie.
