Yes...Yes I have. I meant to exclude that from the quote. Oh well.Quote:

I dont think I was more excited than when I got the NEO GEO games working on the MAME as these games went for big bucks back in the day. I think the cheapest one I owned ran me $185
Take a look at madworld. Amazing art style, just too bad it wasn`t commercially succsesful.
shadow of the colossus had some really cool style to it. Gameplay was fun excellent as well :wacko: I need more of that.
Just checked out a video. Like the use of so many background elements to assist the kills.Quote:

Madworld's art style looks amazing, but the gameplay kind of looks clunky. :shrug:
Not really. I did sell it though because I suck at arcade style games, but I`m probably gonna repurchase it.Quote:

The fact that the land of humans is on the surface of a dead god is pretty amazing in itself, and the game really shows what the Wii's hardware is capable of.

Another game that I want to mention is The Last Story. It gets enough flak from people who don't like its grey/brown visuals, but I'm a sucker for medieval settings, and it reminded me of Vagrant Story and FFXII to a certain extent.

There's also Thief: Deadly Shadows, with its excellent mixture of dark fantasy/magic/steampunk. I've already did a rather lengthy playthrough demonstrating how awesome it is, so I won't bother to post pictures. Just go to the EP LP section, randomly select one of my Thief videos, and enjoy the atmosphere. :wacko:
I'll second Odin Sphere and Muramasa, even if the games themselves are pretty shallow, with the visuals being the best part.
As far as creative level design goes, I think Psychonauts is amazing. There's no single level in that game that's not unique/memorable in some way.
And I've already mentioned Vagrant Story - I love its visuals, pretty much for the same reasons as The Last Story.
Thanks I'll be checking these out. I'm sort of familiar w/ Vagrant Story but not the others.Quote:

The characters sort of reminded me of those from Death Jr. (PSP) although I'll not attest for that games quality, the characters were great.
Why is Xenoblade not out for the Wii in NA yet :0:Quote:

I can't see why nobody mentioned Disgaea or any of nippon ichi's other games. the art is in everything.
A valid question. :wacko: They might be holding off with it until the 3DS craze dies down, who knows. I personally expect it to be offiicially announced during E3. If that doesn't happen, then you can start worrying.Quote:
