Shining Force 1 remake

[acebloke]

If it isnt a remake, why is there mentions of characters like Various, Ken, Tao, Luke, Lowe, Hans, Anri, Ramladu and Nova, in ign's site alone ?

If they had returning characters in a new Shining Force game would be cool!

I played this game today. A friend of mine, who works at my favourtie manga shop, owns it and I could play it on his GBA SP. <br>Graphically it looks very good. Only problem is that the angle of the map has slightly changed, which makes the characters look a bit big in proportion to the map, and making moving during battle a bit of precision work.<br>I haven't played the original one, but I have heard the battle theme before, and it's a little bit different(remixed probably), but still faithful to the original. So I think the sound overall is faithful to the original and pretty well done.<br>The game is fun to play, and pretty well done overall.<br>About the cards... When I talked a second time with members of the Force before the first battle, I would receive a card from most of them. When you travel with the wagon to the Gate of the Ancients, suddenly you're teleported to some cave, with a mysterious character before you. He says the he collects cards, and that they could be useful to you. Then you warp back. When I had defeated the Rune Knight, I got a "Rune Knight Card" from him.<br>Basically, cards are just an optional thing you can collect. It doesn't affect the game much.<p>Maybe you're wondering "WTF how did he play it? It's not out yet here. Not even in Japan!".<br>Hehe... Well it's out already here in Europe, before the US and even Japan. <br>MUAHAHAHAHA! XD<p>Overall, great game. Buy it.

Oh my dear NM-2011! Benoit was negative about something and so he plays it and now he loves it! What are the chances! We have a act of God here people. <p>Anyways, You need to apply the same logic to SHining Tears and PLAY IT before you judge it.<p>Being wrong is not fun

[Benoit]

Actually I was negative about it when I heard that it was a card game. Later I learned that it wasn't, so that's different.

Benoit, I looked on Amazon.co.uk and found the remake there. Do you happen to know if it will play on a US GBA? Is it in English?<p>[size=small][Edit by zoothe on [TIME]1083877801[/TIME]][/size]

[Benoit]

All portable consoles are universal, since there's not PAL, NTSC, SECAM and other standards involved for the screen.<br>So yes, it will play fine on your Game Boy Advance.<br>Yup, it's in English. In fact, you can choose between five languages!

Okay cool. I was thinking about just ordering it, but it's £25 (which is like $50) and the game comes out here in a month. This is one of those times when patience really <i>is</i> a virtue, eh? <br><p>[size=small][Edit by zoothe on [TIME]1083886596[/TIME]][/size]
