I wish SEGA would re release the PS2 remakes of Phantasy Star 1 and 2. To me, they’re the superior versions.
Wow that’s great! Hope to see the same for the Genesis Phantasy star game then maybe porting the Online, Universe and Portable serie on it (I desperatly need to see Portable 2 infinity in HD)
“Monster Codex : once you fight an opinion” ?
I don’t get it.
Sorry, it was suppose to be opponent. I fixed it to:
“Monster Codex: once you fight a monster you will keep a record of it including its name, sprite and other useful information.”
Basically a Pokedex.
Or a bestiary since the D&D days
It’s always nice to get one in a game to know the stats like HP and XPs of an ennemy
I hope these aren’t just stuck on the Switch. I mean, that’s cool and I’ll still get it, but I’d rather have it on PC.
Yeah I wouldn’t mind buying a Master System collection on Steam
When will it release on relevant systems (Xbox, PS4, PC)?
‘scuse me what? The Switch has been relevant since last year, I would gladly play Sega games on it if I had one…
Same Ikagura!
