    I think people are somewhat missing the significance of these games. Particularly with regard to the second one. These are seminal games, in every sense of the word. There is a reason the collectors edition completely sold out a while back on the European NIS store. This release contains an absolutely immense amount of content.

    Will grab this as I’ve been looking forward to it. But you know what I really want remastered or re-released on modern consoles? Suikoden I & 2. But seeing as that’s Konami, nothing will probably happen with that IP unless it’s a pachinko or gatcha game. But I am happy with Langrisser for now.

    Not a fan of the artsyle, but, the gameplay has me interested. At least it looks better than that Re-incarnation game they put out on the 3DS. I'll buy it though. Hopefully, they can improve upon the visuals if they decide to remake other titles in the series.

  • @Novapoid
    @Novapoid 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Honestly I completely agree. I mean, I'm a fire emblem fan and definitely the target demographic for this compilation and yet I understand it's a bit too pricey for current standards. IMO they should've included a third remastered game and then it would feel just right. On the other hand, I'm conflicted because this got a physical release and I think it wouldn't have been possible if the price was lower. I'm a collector myself and I think that unless these kind of products get support from switch owners when they're at full price, they most likely won't be releasing more anytime soon. In an ideal world, the companies would understand that they HAVE to keep trying but adding more value/content....but we don't live in such a place.

    • @SwitchWatch
      @SwitchWatch  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Totally agree! It’s the kind of game we really want to support, but the high price makes it quite daunting

      I'm in the same boat. I love FE, War Groove, and even enjoyed Langrisser mobile; I want to see what the original games were like; but I just can't bring myself to spend 50 dollars on two games that are so bare bones and look like they were made from assets of the mobile game.

    • @Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson
      @Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson ปีที่แล้ว

      It would have been the perfect opportunity to remake the 3rd game. I don’t know why they went with a different combat system for that installment. At least they learned from their mistake and returned to the old system (more or less) for 4&5.

    Even the Genesis Warsong (Langrisser I) and Langrisser II still have the individual soliders move up to the enemies and do melee attack if they are indeed supposed to do so... not like this lazy way of standing back and hitting air... it just seems so weak... and the art style really put me off a little... I used to love playing the originals on Genesis when I was kid... I would replay them multiple times just to try and experience all the different classes they can evolve to.

    I like this type of game but I already have similar games ie fire emblem and SRW V,X,T so I am going to wait for a sale. The price is high but if my backlog was smaller(it is not!), I would probably pay that price since you get two rpgs.

    • @ILuvMoogles
      @ILuvMoogles 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'd go as high as $40 personally. It looks like it's got a fair bit of replay value, so $20 per game given the face lift sounds reasonable to me, but no way am I going any higher when you can get indie games like wargroove for $20.

    • @thefranchise2356
      @thefranchise2356 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The problem is, this is not technologically better than a phone-based game, thus, it should not command a price higher than most phone-based games of the same ilk. So to me, that's $10 per game.

    First impression was sour. I was a huge fan of the originals decades ago (Warsong on Genesis and Langrisser 2 translated).
    The remake felt way too much like a phone game. The chibi art style for the troops with everyone's mouths hanging open was off-putting. The start of each battle scene is jarring and frame rate suddenly dips. Then when the battle does begin, the two armies don't charge each other. They stand Final Fantasy style and swing wildly while an explosion of colors blinds what's happening.
    I hope this release sold well because I want more Langrisser, but I really hope they take this IP more seriously and put more effort into the performance and presentation.
