New Riviera (GBA SRPG) video...

Wow, this game is simply stunning for a GBA game, and yes it does need to get picked up and brought over here. Though, I can't say I think that will happen.

Well, you never know... it looks like something that'd be right up Atlus USA's alley. UbiSoft picked up Lunar and AGH so they might look into it. Konami Digital's hungry for RPGs reportedly and St!ng's part of the Konami Group... I'd say this has a better chance than Tales of Phantasia anyway. :p

Haha, well maybe so, I could definitely see Atlus doing it at least. I'm just at tad too pessimistic these days.

Hm, isn't this from a series, or am I mistakening it? I can't remember if it was from a smaller series or just a remake.

Also, this is a Wonderswan remake, right?
Yep. Bandai's publishing it too iirc.

I *think* it's just a WSC remake but I'm not sure....

Right here!!

Atlus, UbiSoft, Mastiff, Konami.... someone really needs to bring this one here. Might just be St!ng's best game ever. :)

IC has been talking a lot about this... it looks pretty cool, interesting combination of gameplay styles. I'd love to see it come to the US, too. Along with ESPGaluda :p As for it being St!ng's best game ever... that's not too hard to be :D Actually, I thought Treasure Hunter G and Evolution had some sort of charm :p Never played Baroque though.

Baroque is actually my favorite of the bunch. Atmospheric as all hell.

looks interesting but can you explain to me why you think this is an SRPG? looks like a normal RPG to me.

I'd be impressed if the voice samples were actually in the game, and of that quality (from the movie)

Looks fantastic.

But Ubi Soft, keep the FUCK away. Your poorly trained monkeys failed mildly in localizing Lunar, and failed miserably with AGH.

C'mon Atlus...

Depends on your definition of normal... just be glad I didn't go with insertcredit's description (innovative sim rpg/galget/rhythm game). :/
 
You know, I'd actually been wondering a few days ago whatever became of Sting....

I suppose I shouldn't admit to spending my time actually thinking about such ideas
