Yes, the first several volumes of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga are really not that bad. Kind of dark as well. The series did make its shift from the adventures of a supernatural avenger who makes people set themselves on fire to all the card game nonsense, however.
And "Nate the Ninja's Tubular Tale" is something I need to use. Oh, and happy Day of the Ninja. |

Tale of the Last Promise: Lol for anyone who mistakes that as a Tales title. I watched the trailer for this and it seems quite well done. Only time will tell if this does well enough. I have some hope for it.
Chevalier Saga Tactics: I heard that in this game the humans you control and the dragons are allies and work to stop the war from breaking out between them. I hope the dragons are playable at some point. The main premise already has me hooked. Shining Hearts: Another Shining I'm sure we're not getting. Much like Tales, I think the Shining series is done here. Besides, this one has the trappings of a moe anime/dating sim all over it. Why couldn't they make it interesting and let you form close bonds with the other males in the party? I formed one with Lazarus back in Tears (I was hoping for romance, lol not really) and I plan to do the same with Volg. Much more unique endings than the typical boy picks a mate from the many girls available standard.
Don't be too surprised. Wind is over three years old now and they never considered localizing it. I wish they had though. The combat seems so much more enhanced in that one than in Tears (I loved Tears though and I was 100% expecting Wind to come here all that time ago). Persona 2 IS: We better get this. There is simply no reason not to localize this any more. I don't want to hear any excuses. Naruto Shippuden DBC: Poor dragons, what a sad little franchise to get stuck in. And seriously, reptilian henchmen? Ugh, I find myself hating this game from the cover artwork alone. Last edited by belvadeer on Sun Aug 04, 2013 3:35 pm; edited 1 time in total |

My Dad bought me DB:GT Final Bout for $100 from a NYC pawn shop when I was 10. A few years later, I realized how bad it was, and put it up on eBay. Someone bid $70, which was good enough, but they said they needed a few days to get their paycheck. They never got back to me, I forgot about it for a couple months, and then, in the least probable scenario ever, the game was rereleased for $15. I was not happy.

I didn't know Final Bout was going for that much money. I had the Japanese version and used an adapter to get it to work on my PS1 when I was 9.

Japanator is jumping to conclusions, no one has yet announced any specific titles that NISA will bring over. I'd say its almost guaranteed BRS is one of them, but it has not been announced yet. |

Tale of the Last Promise........... So it's not only Tales of but a Last / Final title as well........... Which marketing company did they rain money to come up with such an original name?

LOL @ Final Bout. My brother has the original version... it's an awful game but the voices are awesome.
I knew the two newer Naruto games were gonna tank. No shocker here. Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 already took the crown of best Naruto game of the year. |

The US version of Final Bout disappeared the moment it went on sale, actually. It was a small print run: 10k copies, less than, for example, the famously sold-out Panzer Dragoon Saga. There was enough demand for Dragon Ball, even before the TV broadcast hit CN and went big (the show was in syndication from '96), to move those copies. It became expensive both because of DBZ and because it was actually seriously rare.
Like Panzer Dragoon Saga, if you weren't at a games store that weekend, the game was lost to you. Of course, it was trash that I was lucky to be unable to buy and PDS is (I'm informed) a lost classic, but that's another matter. By the time DBZ hit it big on Cartoon Network, Final Bout was already commanding big bucks and it was cheaper to buy the JP version (or another of several Japan-only DBZ games) from some importer at $70. In '96 or '97, my brother bought a bunch of CD-R's (of course the place called them "imports") of DBZ Legends and Ultimate Battle 22 and Final Bout, and we played all that awful crap anyway. Legends was okay, but oh my god those other games. You know what the infinite combo in UB22 is? The kick button. |

That i can agree with. Even after all these years , I still have my Trading Cards from the original. Too busy to get the booster packs for the GX and 5D's series. The games unfortunately are as medicore as some of the naurto series. The only one worth while were the new DBZ games. At least the anime is watchable (even though the series is being mascared by the hands of 4crap kids) Hopefully in the future it'll finally be rescued and we'll have a more compotent dub version of the series that will please both the young audience as well as hardcore anime fans. |

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who enjoyed the BRS anime. ;-;

I remember Mania/AoD giving it a pretty positive review, so you're not the only one. I think it actually got an "A", too. |
