Is Legend of the River King Worth Checking Out?

NWR: One of my favorite things about the Virtual Console is when a game I was always curious about comes out and takes me by surprise. It's even better when it's something that no one else really knew about before because it gives you that nice sense of group discovery. That led to me finally playing games like Gunstar Heroes and Gargoyle's Quest, and discovering really random stuff like Tumble Pop and Fortified Zone. Sure, I'll always buy the classics like a sucker every time they're available. It's a miracle I didn't cave and buy Mega Man 3 when it hit 3DS Virtual Console earlier this month.

Lufia: The Legend Returns is mind blowingly good for a gb game. One of my fave rpgs ever

Jiub846d ago

I would definitely consider selling a limb to get a modern Lufia game.

SegaSaturn669846d ago

Did you play the DS remake of...Lufia 2 I think? Man, that game was weird.

Jiub845d ago

I saw that it was a remake and passed on it. I thought they would give it another shot at some point. Just saying, the Sinistrals would look crazy on good graphics.

I loved getting lost in the sand of Final Fantasy On game boy . I hated it too but it’s very memorable to this day .

One game that needs its dragon back is Final fantasy. I hope the next game goes back to the classic style. I don't usually advocate game to go back to its older self but final fantasy should revitalize itself.

Final Fantasy VI-Medieval and steampunk mix
Final Fantasy VII-Futuristic
Final Fantasy VIII-Futuristic
Final Fantasy IX-Medieval
Final Fantasy X-Futuristic
Final Fantasy XI- Medieval
Final Fantasy XII- Medieval
Final Fantasy XIII-Futuristic
Final Fantasy XIV-Medieval
Final Fantasy XV-Futuristic

The next mainline Final fantasy needs to be Medieval or mix with another like Steampunk.

I don't think a game "needs" anything other than being a great game.

Nebaku2075d ago

I disagree. FF found its identity with the whole steampunk look around FF6/7. DragonQuest already has the medieval theme down pat, and does it better than FF could ever hope to.

Segata2076d ago

There is hundreds that don't have Dragons or castles. Play RPGs without magic as well and just mechs. Far more than 7.

Nebaku2075d ago

It's a list of their TOP 7 games that do it. Obviously they aren't insinuating only 7 rpgs in existence don't have dragons.

The Legend of Natsume’s Forgotten Classic

Slimgamer writes:

"Natsume has become one of the top dogs for releasing simulation role playing games over the years, most notably being the successful Harvest Moon series. There is another series that has been in Harvest Moon‘s shadow that many gamers aren’t aware of that is wildly underrated. The River King series has been around six years longer than the more popular Harvest Moon series, originally in Japan under the name Kawa No Nushi Tsuri. Although the series has been released for practically every Nintendo console and handheld there has only been four North American releases of the series."
