So there's not some secret website I need to go to that would have PS1 manuals in greater supply than eBay, right? Pox on me for needing one for Einhander and one for Koudelka.

Then there's the GBA port of DKC3 which has completely different music from the SNES version because it came to a decision between programming a new sound system to handle the music from the original game or compose completely new tracks and the latter was just faster to do to get the game out. The original SNES game was mostly done by someone other than David Wise, but then the GBA version is completely his soundtrack.

Huh, so apparently my local game store in bumfuck nowhere has some ties to Ancient Corp because they got gifted a Famicom Mini from them, and then also sent a promotional pixel art thing of the store owner's image to them. That's kind of cool. I was wondering what the random facebook post from them months ago boosting Gotta Protectors was about considering how obscure that is.

At least they stole something that doesn't have a serial number on it, like the dumbass who stole from one of the local stores I visit who broke into a store with a bunch of rare stuff and made off with an Xbox... 360. Who then posted it on local share groups and was caught in 6 hours thanks to the game store having a facebook page with a bunch of followers.

fishmech posted:The PSP is very interesting for this. The last UMD release was World Soccer Winning Eleven 2014 on November 14, 2013. But the last all new game for the system was StreetKix: Freestyle on January 7, 2014 (digital only). And the last new program, but which was just a localization, was Brandish: The Dark Revenant which was localized to English and released on January 13, 2015 but was again digital only. You're forgetting Summon Night 5 on PSP, which got an english release date on December 2015 and had physical copies shipped out to people at the beginning of last year.

Mak0rz posted:Wait, he did that? What on earth happened? When it came time to port DKC3 to the GBA, they couldn't rely on the same process to convert the music from the original game like they did with DKC1 and 2, and it was going to take longer to make the conversion process work than it would for them to just make new music, so the decision was made to rescore DKC3 and David Wise did that. The soundtrack to the GBA version is completely different.

Mak0rz posted:Yeah, but the music is... worse? It's not the kind of stellar quality I expect from David Wise. Aside from his Aquatic Ambiance remix the soundtrack is overall pretty bad. Chances are having to work with the GBA sound hardware (which was notoriously awful) is to blame. Well that and the aforementioned crunch time. I kind of agree, it's a lot more bubbly. I think that's true of Tropical Freeze though, too (though that one sounds fantastic and fits it's art style and also wasn't constrained by a GBA).

Also online listings for GBA games are rife with bootlegs so complete copies are presumably less likely to be fake and more desirable.

It still has exclusive content, the areas in the Saturn version never made it anywhere else, and neither did the items they added. Also the Maria playable in DXC is different than the Saturn version. True nirvana is realizing that none of that matters because the Saturn exclusive stuff is all crap.

Charles Get-Out posted:gently caress, here I thought the Saturn version was identical to what I'd already played. Guess I've got to put another expensive game on my loving bucket list. No, no you don't. I mean even if you don't want to spend the money because it works with Pseudo Saturn, it's a bad version of that game. The bad load times and graphical effects, and literally the only positive change I can say about it is the Bat Wing Smash is infinite and the spear is okay, and the movement upgrade would be nice if it didn't require you to double tap to use. Both the areas added are bad, and one even has bedsheet ghosts in it.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:It did get a Greatest Hits release but it had nothing to do with sales figures, apparently. Yeah there were a few games at the end of the PS1's life where they just said gently caress it and reprinted the game anyway even though it never hit the sales target for it. I think Final Fantasy Tactics was another one.

They almost have to be actively printing them, because they go in and out of stock pretty much every time they have a sale.

Mak0rz posted:I had no idea this was a feature of the PSP. I never did own one but I feel like this is something I would have read about at some point. Did they just expect people to rip their own ISOs and put them on a memory stick or what? The native support was just buying a PS1 classic off of PSN and playing it that way. Eventually people reverse engineered those emulators and you could play whatever PS1 game you wanted as long as you ripped it and put it in a specific format for a hacked PSP to play.

I don't think I've ever listened to other music in lieu of game music but I also didn't really know what genre of music I liked outside of "game soundtracks" until like a few years ago so I'm clearly weird in other ways.

By the time anyone was able to find me a PS2 as a gift, Onimusha had already come out, so I didn't ever really touch any of the launch games later as anything other than a curiosity. I only tried The Bouncer for the first time like a few months ago.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Is The Bouncer worth playing at all, out of curiosity? It's kinda cool how it seamlessly cuts from cutscenes to gameplay but to answer your question it was made by the same developers as Ehrgeiz. It's quite sloppy as a beat em up and seemed to dole out experience for new moves really slowly. I was doing fine until I came to one encounter where I kept dying instantly and stopped playing.

Yeah I know, but I mean just like in kiosks or whatever from major publishers. There are too many games to ever say you're familiar with everything. Like I found out about Parasite Eve when I saw someone playing it in a local game shop and went "what the hell is that?".
