I'm glad that you think so. Agree to disagree.XoPachi wrote:Looks badass.
Don't forget Stretch Panic, Silpheed, Tiny Toons, Dragon Drive, Astro Boy, Wario World, Hajime no Ippo, and the DS & Wii Bleach fighting games. All from Treasure, all ranging from average to poor.boagman wrote:I fully understand the idea of "We need to sell things to eat and pay rent." It's just that this seems so backwards for them.

Your statement is more than fair...though I dislike the inclusion of Silpheed and Astro Boy there. I'd call them better than just average, but your point is still legit.Pretas wrote:Don't forget Stretch Panic, Silpheed, Tiny Toons, Dragon Drive, Astro Boy, Wario World, Hajime no Ippo, and the DS & Wii Bleach fighting games.

This is just the latest game in that line. It's nothing new for Treasure, who have always relied on lower quality licensed fare to subsidize their hardcore-oriented masterpieces.
Is that a fact? That seems *really* strange to me. A Gamecube game is their best seller ever? Heck, I remember the craziness that was the release of Ikaruga for the Dreamcast way back when, and I have a really hard time thinking that a Gamecube, non-first-party-Nintendo release would be better than that.WarpZone wrote:I think I remember reading that Wario World is their best-selling game.
Astro Boy is amazing. One of their best imo.Your statement is more than fair...though I dislike the inclusion of Silpheed and Astro Boy there. I'd call them better than just average, but your point is still legit.

Why *is* that? I fully admit that my exposure to the game is pretty limited, but in my playing of the thing during the limited times I had access to it, I was enjoying it. I certainly haven't had a chance to play the whole thing through, nor perhaps even enough time to fully evaluate it, but my general impression of it was that it was kind of a Treasure-Lite shooter experience. There was fun to be had, there, and it wasn't tough to mine, either!Skykid wrote:Silpheed is shit though.
It's just a bit of a crap game. Slow, bland, limited and with a dodgy perspective. OTT cinematic voice acting and unskippable sequences grate, and as a shmup it's just largely uninspired. Try playing it to the end, it's a very boring work. Feels unfinished, to a degree.boagman wrote:Why *is* that?

Not so? Seriously: I'm wondering what about it makes you say that, as I really don't have enough exposure to it to even tell you that I think you're wrong. I want to believe that you're wrong, but I can't in good conscience stake any real claim about it.
Flesh that out, please.

I don't agree with the inclusion of Bleach either. The first DS game is good stuff. Also, I thought the Wii versions were done by someone else, not Treasure. I heard mostly good things about their Hajime no Ippo GBA game, but I haven't played it. I also agree with Astro Boy not belonging in this list.Pretas wrote: Don't forget Stretch Panic, Silpheed, Tiny Toons, Dragon Drive, Astro Boy, Wario World, Hajime no Ippo, and the DS & Wii Bleach fighting games.

Wario World won't change your life, but I'd say it's worth playing through once, especially since you can probably find it for pretty cheap by now.boagman wrote:I honestly never knew that WW was that good or popular, nor that Gamecube games ever really even sold that well at all.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?
Agreed 100% on Silpheed. Even when this game was new it was terribly barren and uninspired. It was and still is a bore to play. Even the Sega CD Silpheed is more enjoyable, which sadly isn't saying much.Skykid wrote:It's just a bit of a crap game. Slow, bland, limited and with a dodgy perspective.

First Bleach DS game was a lot of fun, a nice easy to play fighter with actual mechanics. Not particularly balanced or exceptionally deep, but certainly enjoyable. The GBA Ippo game was quite a bit of fun as well, though I imagine it wouldn't do much for anyone that wasn't a fan of the series. I've been told by a lot of friends that Astro Boy is great, haven't played it myself.BrianC wrote:I don't agree with the inclusion of Bleach either. The first DS game is good stuff.

It actually got me into the series, haha. I wanted context for the more interesting characters like Sendo and Mashiba. Fun little game with excellent controls and brutal action. Works best on a GBA Player with good speakers so the hyper-expressive animation and explosive impact SFX are at their best.The GBA Ippo game was quite a bit of fun as well, though I imagine it wouldn't do much for anyone that wasn't a fan of the series.
