Alright so I finally got around to getting my new Saturn memory card. I bought a disc only game on a whim off eBay just because it was cheap and this was months ago. Well, I found the game while rummaging through a box looking for my Saturn 3D controller for NiGHTS so I decided to pop it in. The games title is Dark Legend, now just from the title I was thinking "I bet this has a gloomy mood" and the disc art had a character who reminds me of Goro from Mortal Kombat. I went into the game expecting a dark first person style dungeon crawler but boy was I wrong. Dark legend turned out to be a beautiful arcade fighter, everything is very colorful, the character movements are smooth, and it is very action packed! The way I found best to describe the movesets would be to combine Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter together. Some of the moves require a ton of directional button presses before it can be executed so there is some research to be done and a lot of practice to become good at it. This does not take away anything from the game and there is a lot of fun to be had. So basically what I am getting at is you can't judge a game by its cover... HAHAHA. Have any of you had this happen to you?
Slightly off topic, but if I were judging by cover alone I'd have never played Guardian Heroes (region 1 cover art) and missed out on an excellent game.
As for titles, I'd say many shmup fans missed out on Blast Works for the Wii. Sounds like either a me-too puzzle game or the unheard-of sequel to N64's Blast Corps. Instead, there's a nifty customizable shmup engine, and some FANTASTIC unlockable shmups.
Great topic, BTW. Hope more replies come in.
