Title: Help me pick a VC game.
Post by: Cypress on October 13, 2007, 02:07:47 PM

I have 1200 wii points and one space left on the menu.
Here are the games im considering:

Ninja Spirit 600
Sin and Punishment 1200
Super C 500
Romance of 3 kingdoms IV 800
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master 800
Shining Force 800
Shining in Darkness 800

(if I get the 500 or 600 I will get both. Or that and China warrior because it sucks in a funny way)

You need Landstalker, also.

Also, I'd say you will eventually have to pick up both Shining Force, Sin & Punishment and Shinobi III... they're all good games. So it's all a matter of what you feel like playing first. If you're up for a classic RPG with MANY hours of strategic battles and an interesting cast of characters, Shining Force is it. (Though the sequel is even better, and I bet it'll come out on the VC someday soon). But the other two are great too, especially Shinobi. But they (obviously) don't last as long.

Never played Ninja Spirit though.

Im lacking in the RPG department (for VC) but I am also curious about SaP. I saw a short vid though and it didn't look that amazing to me. I like the shinobi games and Ninja spirit looks like fun too. I'll give it a few more hours and see if anyone else weighs in on this, then i'll pick. I'll be getting them all eventually.

Thanks to everyone that suggested a game so far.

Land Stalker is a great game gor Mega Drive. You should try it out.

Ninja Spirit, trust me, the game is a bit easier than it's arcade counterpart (due to PC Engine mode, you can take a few hits), but it's still a great game.

oh man... hard choice. Ninja Spirit is crazy hi-fly'n, shadow clone use'n fun.

Shining Force is one of the greatest RPG/Strategy games EVAR.

Shinobi III is another one of Sega's best (they made making awesome games look so easy back then).

Sin & Punishment is pure rock and roll and sex morphed into a shootan game.

I love them all...I'd be like having to choose between my children...

After what I will call...unexpected wii points...I will be getting Sin and Punishment, Ninja Spirit, and Super C.

(Just found out that I have shining force on Dreamcast, and I still need to beat Revenge of Shinobi.)

Thanks for the help.

This thread can be closed now I guess, if you do that here.
