Taito Legends pack or Taito memories?

No it's not out in the states yet, US still has no release date as of this time. Last game had a couple of week window between the US and Europe releases (Europe got it first), perhaps this time around should be the same as well.

Neo Rasa wrote: Rastan Saga 2, man that game was garbage. I first played it on the Genesis, where the only good thing about the game, the music, was butchered beyond belief. I thought I was playing some parody of an actual Rastan game.

Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga 3 was great though.

You know what the biggest cocktease ever was? After that mediocre arena fighter Barbarian came out in the US/Europe, Taito distributed it in Japan. So out of nowhere on the Japan release lists you see "Warrior Blade: Rastan vs. The Barbarians" and get your hopes up for a couple of seconds.

The graphics on Rastan Saga 2 are definitely a sad mockery. It did not deserve such an amazing OGR soundtrack. Jumping control is fucked beyond belief- what's the deal with having to hold the jump button down for a high jump? Level design in RS2 is totally bland- there are no multiple paths. I used to have the Genesis version, and when MAME did the arcade one I tried that to see if it would be any better. Gameplay wise, no- though the soundtrack rocks.

All Taito did for that Barbarian game was to change Dagan to Rastan. I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't the real Warrior Blade.

I hate not having the Ninja in the Genesis version of Cadash. When the graphics and BGM are so close to the arcade, it's an even more glaring annoyance.
