I'm not sold on the game yet after one play of the demo, but I'm going to play ot a few more times. The gameplay with the 3 layers is feels really restricting. I like the story so far, the art and the characters. The fact that it's a classic also helps.

How do you do 1v1 Versus?
Is there a setting for it?
Would love if they had a SF type single player vs mode where you go through every character one by one.

This is done so you can use fighting game motions for actions (up for jump, down for crouch, QCF/HCF/etc for specials).Dark Octave said:

Oh, this FINALLY came out? I've been fighting with my iOS5 update all day I forgot to check the weekly games. Going to download demo now...

I see. I just played it again with this new info. Learned how to use fireballs and a rush move with the big sword guy. This has opened the game up for me and now it doesn't feel restricting at all. Hopefully there are more moves to discover.Sixfortyfive said:
Bought, thanks.

Been waiting so many years for this. Finally, Guardian Heroes HD is mine! Feeling so spoiled right now, with ICO/SOTC HD, Guardian Heroes HD and Forza 4.
Can't wait to jump in and knock out some playthroughs.

One thing I noticed is that if somebody joins you and gets disconnected somehow, the stage resets but you keep all of the levels you gained.
So in theory you could just have a friend join and quit repeatedly, so you'll be sitting pretty with 100+ levels.
Your friend is boned however. That's one thing that really annoys me about joining somebody else's game, they're usually stuck with an ass level.
WHAT?
...Doesn't work for me.

I've run into 2 Nicoles total online. Am I playing the right game?

One thing Remix(or even Original) mode could have thrown in was some wacky power-up that boosts the other four character's stats depending on their path. Han gets that sword which boosts his stats by a ridiculous amount but everyone else? They get diddly.
You're talking about story mode right? She's everywhere in Versus along with the Spirits.
Not really feeling what Treasure considers "orthodox".

Yeah this game is awesome now that I understand what kind of game it is. Loving that rising upper move with the big sword guy. I can't wait to try out some other characters. I just found another reason to kick myself for never owning a Saturn...Teknoman said:

Arcade mode is great. Using GinJirou, I am in 1064th place with 87 Kills. Safe to say will probably never crack top 100 but it's fun to try.

It's funny picking this game back up after getting into fighting games in the interim. I just noticed for the first time that it has negative edge.

Yeah, it saves at the beginning of each stage and you can select continue from the story mode menu.Peagles said:
It also seems to save whatever level/credit count you had at the moment you quit, not the moment when you entered that stage.

I'm kinda still in disbelief that that turned out as awesome as it has. I guess the only nitpick I have is a missing option for original Saturn version timing because the lack of slowdown during big pileups just freakin' weirds me out for some reason.

Yeah same with me... it was part of the fun (and you could watch the explosions in slo-mo detail).

This game is fucking incredible. Easily the best Xbox Live Arcade release I've ever played. THANK YOU TREASURE!

So Happy this game is finally here! Made quite a pretty penny on selling my Saturn copy on eBay back in early 2000s. Victory is mine!
Don't like the shared lives pool though...

After trying both I think I'm sticking with the original version. Remix adds some cool stuff but the original control scheme just works better for me.
Playing this on a big screen tv with original graphics is hilarious. Pixels on some of the bosses are the size of quarters. I think the last time I played this game was on a 13" TV.

I still have my beloved US Saturn version, and I noticed a few differences:
- Characters have voices during gameplay
- Translation is different, more jokes added
- More detail (i.e. indications when characters are dead)
- The story actually makes fucking sense this time around
And I love it. Seriously, this is what a remake is supposed to be. I stick with original graphics (probably for nostalgia's sake), and the sprites are just as beautiful. The music is still as cheesy/awesome as ever, and the Sky Spirits are still the biggest douchewads. Can't wait to get back home and play some more!

As someone who never played it on the Saturn, I'm finding it pretty amazing so far. I'm not a fan of the remix graphics so I'm sticking with the original ones, which still look awesome.
I think what is going to keep me playing this game for months on end is the multiplayer. It just gets crazy when the number of participants begin to exceed 4 players. I though the graphics were going to be an issue but I find the game looks great using either original or remixed visuals. Hope enough word of mouth gets people to pick it up to get treasure to consider a sequel in the future.

Man, I haven't played this since the Saturn days. Downloaded the demo to see if the magic's still there, and have enough points to grab this and Daytona.
I really should finish Torchlight first though...

Online is starting to feel a little funky. Syncing endlessly and quite laggy.
Can't find anyone in my country playing it yet

A thousand times this. Even at the time of release, the game was *terrible* looking anytime you had a sprite scaled outside of it's original size. Which was all the fucking time!Skilletor said:
The remix graphics are great, all the pencil sketching stuff that people were upset over in the original photos is barely perceptible, usually only when a sprite isn't moving at all (which is practically never).
Speaking of which, am I misremembering, or were there going to be multiple filters?
And a million times this. Ginjirou is the schnitzel.
No, the remixed graphics aren't that great.
A very heavy "smoothing" filter has been applied. It's just like on the Backbone emulations -- you lose detail for sharpness. The remixed graphics still look too dark compared to original, especially the backgrounds. Look at the lit windows on the opening. In original, they look bright and yellow, as a lit window during nighttime should look. In remix, they're a darker yellow, and it no longer looks correct.
