Hydro Thunder Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I love the Saturn....but the Saturn version of this game _sucked_. I remember it taking so much time to load, and so frequently, it actually seemed like you spent more time waiting for loading between scenes than you did playing. I was soooo disappointed. Especially after how completely awesome X-men Vs Street Fighter was with the ramcart. So this new release...looking damned fine. I'm in. Sold. Go Capcom. The Darkstalkers collection was fantastic, this will be another treat. And yes, seconding the motion above for a Power Stone collection. Or a Power Stone 3 if I may be so greedy. And to brush up on my D&D skills, I'll have some goes at King of Dragons on the original Xbox Capcom Generations 2 disc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Capcom also announced that the game is also being released on Wii U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Do these games have any value for the single-player gamer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAGRS Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Do these games have any value for the single-player gamer? Depends on if you like to play hack-and-slash games alone. I enjoy them either alone or with a friend (though the latter tends to make these games more fun). So, if you can play Golden Axe or Knights of the Round or other similar games by yourself and have fun, then yes. When I heard about this coming out, it made me consider selling my Saturn copy.

Selling the Saturn copy???? No no no no. Sure its gonna be one thing to play on XBL with friends....but the Saturn copy is a collectors item. I will never sell my copy.....just leave it in the vault.

YAGRS Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah, I know. I still have it, so right now, the side of me that wants to keep it is winning out. I'm lucky that I bought it back when it wasn't so expensive. I think I got it for $40, and it's tempting to turn a profit on it, but once that money's gone . . . what do I have? I'm looking forward to having it in HD and in English on my PS3, though. I would get it on my 360, since I have four 360 controllers and only one PS3 controller, but I just hate the 360's D-pad too much, and I don't want it to ruin the experience.

Gabriel Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Do these games have any value for the single-player gamer? I'd dare say that's the only reasonable way to play the mage character. Playing alongside someone playing a spellcaster is incredibly irritating and frustrating, as the game pauses everytime they cast a spell. It ruins any rhythm or sense of action the game may be generating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Bought my copy two days ago on launch, but didn't get around to play it yet. Since it supports 4 controllers at once, I wonder if I should buy 2 more Dualshocks now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 So, apparently the Wii U version was delayed and there is no current ETA. On Nintendo's web site, it just says "TBA", whereas prior to the other platforms' releases, it stated 6/18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I have 4 dualshocks over the years but one of them loses it's charge rather quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaDrive Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Capcom Senior VP Says Dungeons & Dragons Is “Definitely Still Coming” To Wii U Still waiting for Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara to land on your Wii U? Capcom’s senior vice president Christian Svensson says it is definitely coming, but there’s been a bit of a hold-up on Nintendo’s side waiting for a code approval. The two classic games were originally meant to be released yesterday, along with the release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Steam, but when the new trailer was launched the description tag read coming “to the Nintendo eShop soon after”. Here’s what Svensson said in the Capcom Unity Boards: “I don’t think we’ve received code approval from Nintendo just yet which is why we’ve been unable to confirm a date. It is definitely still coming so please do bear with us. The game is in submission. Stay tuned.” http://mynintendonews.com/2013/06/20/capcom-senior-vp-says-dungeons-dragons-is-definitely-still-coming-to-wii-u/ http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/29959945/wait-so-dnd-isnt-coming-to-wii-u-on-the-18th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Hey hey, my daughters and I only ran twice through "Tower of Doom" so far, but that already granted us spot #17 on PS3 Trophies! http://ps3trophies.com/gameleaderboard/04346-dungeons-and-dragons-chronicles-of-mystara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Entering the Top 10 after scoring the #12 trophy! I think I should try reading the manual for completing some of the remaining challenges, there's several I don't even know the required moves for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Progress Report: I've completed everything regarding Tower of Doom by now - all challenges, all treasures. And I've played through Shadow over Mystara once with each character. There I'm down to 5 or 6 remaining challenges and I'm at 86% of treasures. I think the challenges should be rather easy to complete, but completing treasures might become a tedious affair. The ones I'm still missing don't seem to be obtainable by random drops - I think they're hidden in secret places or only dropped when meeting certain in-game conditions. EDIT: Just learned that the thief can also steal treasure from enemies, so I should probably do an extra run with her next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Just scored the final trophy FYI: It's a little glitched, I had to start a new game with the last character I played for it to register. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 A friend was kind enough to give me a Steam copy of the game, and it's a pretty good Golden Axe/Final Fight style beat 'em up. I'm not crazy about the way the inventory is handled, but when you consider how much more complex the game is than the average brawler, I guess the developers didn't have many other options.

Atariboy Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hope Sega decodes to give Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder similar treatment someday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodreign Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I've had a lot of fun with this, mainly Shadow Of Mystara. Been working on finding items and using the various characters, as well as getting the challenges done (those also seem to be tied trophies, something I don't really care for, the trophies, not the challenges). I like taking multiple paths and finding the games secrets, but that last boss and his fiery breath, my oh my. I bought the Simpsons and X-Men on PSN as well to go along with CoM, but those have seen far smaller amounts of game time. Something about these Capcom beat em ups that I love (besides Knights of the Round and King of Dragons, the latter seems like a prequel to the D&D arcade titles). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Been playing Shadows with the wife. We laugh at the cutscenes. She has never played this like I have so she was laughing. We also have X-Men and Simpsons and my kid likes playing these as well. When all is over how many quarters would this game have stolen from me if I ever sat in the arcade to beat it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Too bad you won't be able to play then on your PS4/next xbox. That's what your PS3 or Xbox 360 is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If this doesn't show up on Wii U by next week, I'm just going to buy the PC version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
