2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!

Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

I thought Hudson was releasing games through Kanomi for awhile there.Dont no if they are anymore or not  :-k.
Yeah and besides that what difference would it make if the game was already on the psp.

Dark Fact

But what about people who don't want a PSP and are perfectly happy with their Wii? I say throw them a bone.

I don't know, man. The load times on a PCE are already so much better than modern systems I might not even notice it. I mean, the Cube and Wii have good to great (sometimes absolutely none) but Sony and MS systems just put me to sleep.

Very good point, the PS3 and 360 feature much slower load times.  I think load times are something people are used to now to a certain extent, as opposed to back when the CD-ROM format first came out and everyone complained about load times.  I mean, I have to load my XBox (1st gen) games off the internal hard drive because I can't stand the load time.

It is very possible that it could be released for multiple systems, but it looks to me that the Castlevania series is mainly going to be on sony consoles. The ps3 virtual console already has Symphony of the Night to download and with the psp version with both new and original versions of Rondo, I am just not sure if it will go to nintendo. But on the other hand there is going to be a new Castlevania DS that should be pretty good, so who knows  :lol:

Personally, I think it would be stupid for Hudson to NOT release Dracula X for the VC :) . I think they could get more sales for the game off the VC than they could for the PSP.

I think so too. I would rather play it on the virtual console than the psp. Of course I can just play it on my turbo anytime, so it really doesn't matter to me anyways, haha. But for anyone with a firmware modded psp; you can already play it through emulation.

I think there will be a Wii HD within a year and it will be ultra slim similar to the xbox one.  512 MB just isn't enough space to hold all of these VC games and its annoying to have to back them up and delete them so you can download something new.

I don't care as much about Dracula X although it would be cool to see an engrish translation without having to go out and buy a PSP.

kenomac78

no, nintendo is never going to have  hard drive. ever, ever. they are so ridiculously stubborn when it comes to everything, and cost effectiveness being pretty high up there on the list. they yanked the disk system after it lead to easy copying. they never put out a cd player for about 100 stupid reasons, and were dragged into the optical disk format only after they realized they would be out of business if they didnt. and the game boy took 13 years to get a freaking real light!! fair weather fans of the big N keep touting how innovative they have become. it might be true in part with the wii sensors, etc. but now that they are cranking out money, dont expect to see anything that halts that money. even if VC piracy was zero the production costs alone would keep them from it. and of course it would be cracked in about 3 days and then its a VC free for all!

anyone who thinks a hard drive is in the works is dreaming!! period! nintendo's track history will tell you they like to do it their own way, even if everyone else thinks its stupid, they don't care. now that they are cruising in the #1 spot in many countries expect it to get worse! at least when they were getting whooped on by sony, they had to concede to somethings just to stay in the game.

but with things like hard to use friend codes, transferring from SD and back, garbage VC games (though not all) constant delays and official statements saying that most of our favorite series wont see new games for a while, if ever, just add proof to nintendo's rekindled blind arrogance. of course i think they have had it all along but when the playstation brand dominates everything its hard to notice.

nintendo has us all by the balls and they know it. they make awesome games like mario  and metroid that we have to have, so we buy their system and then get caught up in all their BS of 2 year delays and stern lectures about why they choose certain formats or why certain games never have sequels or why games announced for N64 are still not here and on and on. i was glad when sony nearly put them under. if they had made the PSP in 1999 they could have buried the gameboy too. i was hoping that being trapped in last place would have woke them up, i think it did, but only by half.

now i have a wii and i think nintendo will still put out solid games for it, but their god awful chip on their shoulder sometimes makes me want to chuck it in the garbage. because they sit on a mountain of great games and ideas they could put out, we buy into it hoping that they do and they never end up doing it [-( [-( [-(

it would be great to see 3 mario galaxies 3 zeldas and a couple other series revived along with a ton of cool peripherals and every game has an online mode where you can game on with anyone you want and they translate VC games.

instead brace yourself for nintendogs 5 brain age 11 and mario party 24, and no  hard drive

Just a matter of time before they come to Xbox Live Arcade... and cheaper!  Hmmmm.... pay $8 for Golden Axe Genesis on Wii Virtual Console or $5 for Arcade Golden Axe on Xbox Live Arcade??

kenomac78

i am also hoping for an unleashing on the playstation store. but will they ever release more than 5 decent games?

Well, I knew about the Game Boy versions/sequels. But I didn't count those. However, I had NO idea about the Playstation sequel or the Genesis sequel. A friend of mine LOVED BM for the NES and had a Genesis and never owned that version.  :-k

Could someone program the Genesis Blaster Master 2 for the Turbografx (SuperCD preferably  :P) That would be greatly appreciated. hehe

Actually, there are 2 new Castlevania's coming.  The next one after DXC is for DS, & sometime after that, is one for the 360 & possibly PS3 which will probably be the 1999 game, or atleast, that's what everone speculates(1999 game being when Dracula is finally finished by Julius Belmont for good........being a prequal to the 2 Sorrow games).  And supposedly there's a chance the console game will be 2D:)

I agree with your statement and if Nintendo can't put out a hard drive that can be cracked(while the Wii is still a current gen system) they shouldn't do a hard drive.  You did admit yourself that Nintendo holds out as long as possible to conform but this may be time.  Both the PS2 and Xbox had hard drives and it seems like Nintendo is always a generation behind on certain things like optical media.

If Nintendo did come out with a hard drive it would be some kind of unique media that probably doesn't even hold that much data.  They defintely won't come out with an 80 gigger but maybe something with like 5 to 8 would be fine.

Alt-Nintega

I laugh at anyone who posts "OMG I hope it comes to Wii VC!!!" on those PC Engine CD game videos on YouTube. It'll never happen. Why? It is possible Nintendo might be afraid that those games would outsell their flagship titles so they are trying hard to make the TG-16/ PC Engine look bad.

turbofan1

Um...ok.I don`t think nintendo is afraid of hudson.Hudson has already released like forty virtual console games,and if im correct three games for the Wii.And lets be honest,its not like there`s A crap load of awesome pc engine games waiting to be released.I mean there are some,Dracula X,Snatcher,and a few others.I think its up to hudson if they want to invest the time into translating some of these games.And so far they haven't.

Turbo D

What are you talking about? There are a jack load of awesome pce titles not released on virtual console. Nintendo should fear hudson if they know what is best for them  :twisted:

Literally, something like 95+% of the awesome PC Engine games are left.

There's still a ton more. They may not all be "teh best" or for everybody, but they're all games that Turbo fans have been interested in over the years, -the kind that make people say "OMG I hope it comes to Wii VC!!!" when commenting on those PC Engine CD game videos on YouTube.

Just curious. If HuCard games on the Wii are 600pts and SuperCDs are 800pts, how much will regular CDROM2 games be? 700pts? That is, of course, if they release any CDROM2 games.

I was very pleased to see Gates of Thunder on the VC.  It will be nice to see how the CD games do.  I have my Duo sitting right next to my Wii, so it will feel like I'm cheating on my Duo by dling and playing it.  It would be supporting Hudson though, and letting them know some people actually care about the CD games.  Also the fact that Nintendo brought over Sin and Punishment (even though not much localization was needed) it seems that Japanese Pc-Engine SCD2 games could be brought over if not too much was involved in the localization process.  I would pay 1600 VC points too play some Tengai Makyo II in English.  If Arcade Card games could be done it wouldn't take much to localize Sapphire.  Never would happen but it would  be very nice too see since it "could" possibly drop the price of the game on Ebay.

PCEngineFX

In my view, I'd rather play the games on the Wii than my NEC hardware.  My NEC consoles had enough usage and I'd rather save them for times I really need to play something on them.  I have only bought a handful of HuCards on the Wii but the CD games I'm very excited about and will be buying most, if not all of them.

I've been looking all over the net on customer reaction to the GoT release and it seems to be very positive overall.  I would bet that this release will be one of Hudson's top sellers for a while (Super Air Zonk not so much).

There are 3 more CD titles scheduled to be released before the end of the year...we'll see which ones they are soon!

Aaron has me thinking about getting a Wii now. It really is a good way to reduce wear on the genuine machines. But it's the experience of playing on the actual system that makes even that much more fun.  :-k Tough choice. Maybe just buy another Turbo Duo or the PC Engine original set up.  :dance: But before I do that I have to get my Turbo Duo modded with all the goodies. heh

Choices...choices... ](*,)

PCEngineFX

Maybe if I had a newer Duo, then perhaps I'd play the games on it more, but since it was a launch console I have it sitting on my system shelf where it can be safe.  I've logged hundreds of hours with my Duo, so I'm glad I can use the Wii to play my favorite TG games.

Also, adding onto what I was talking about previously about customer reaction, I find it fascinating to read comments from people who have never heard of the Turbo.  While reading customer comments, they can be pretty much grouped into the following classes:

-People who never heard of the Turbo
-People who heard of the Turbo, but never played the games
-People who played the system, but may not have played the AAA titles
-People who own the system (and grew up with it)

While I'm extremely glad to see that the Turbo experience is expanding to a new generation of gamers, it is saddening to read comments from non-Turbo people panning the console or not even experiencing AAA games such as GoT.  This is of course the minority of the customer response I have read around the internet for GoT.

Yeah, it's sad.  However, now that TG-16 and the Turbo CD are getting a new lease on life, people will have a chance to finally see what they've been missing.  They need to at least try the games first before they can say whether they are crap or not.

This has me slightly worried... Anyone get this VC game yet??
Jossshhhhh...Legendary TurboTrollX-16: He revenge-bans PCE Developers/Ys IV Localizers from PCE Facebook groups and destroyed 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Josh and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner (extortion/blackmail!), never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

awack

Ha, yeah, thats lightening force/thunderforce IV for the genesis.

"Nothing this week that I would say is a must buy, but I'm thinking getting Ninja Gaiden 2."

Whether he has any idea what GoT really is or if he's talking about the game shown (TFIV/LF?), either one looks like a must buy to me.

I haven't played past the first stage of LF/TFIV since it came out and don't remember much of it, but if the game shown in that video is it, then I really need to fire up my TFIV cart. 8)
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

QuoteThey need to at least try the games first before they can say whether they are crap or not.

Unfortunately, that's not usually what happens.
Yeah, funny you guys should bring this up. I was just on Trekweb talking to a guy who has the Wii and is interested in the 16 bit games, specifically shmups. So I told him about GOT and gave a youtube link to it (it was actually GOT though and not a Genesis imposter  :P) He was really impressed and said that from what he's read about the game on blogs and whatnot that people were crapping all over it. We both agreed that they never heard of the game let alone played it if they're saying it's crap.

Even TG haters know that "blast processing" can't even come close to it.  =;  :P

Anyway, he's going to buy GOT.  =D>

QuoteKeep in mind only 2&3 had a u.s release not 1&4 for the turbo-cd.
Well, maybe Hudson is giving us a little hint that their going to be releasing Japanese titles with the "PC Engine" SuperCD2 load screen.  :)
Whoa, good observation! I wonder if that means something. By the way, does anyone know if you can press Select on this screen to access the RAM menu?
