Retro Game Challenge

[Dorkchop]

This game is pretty awesome. For those of you who don't know much or anything about the game it's based off a Japanese called GameCenter CX where some guy places old school games and tries to complete some challenges. Things had to be changed for North America because of licensing issues. I've never seen the show, am not wapanese (weeaboo), have a life, so I don't care about a show that hasn't been shown here.

Yes, it's Wiki, but it'll do if you want to know about the show.

The DS game has some classic (made up) 8 bit games where you try to complete challenges in them. After you complete the challenges (I think about 4 to 5 for each game) you unlock the game in free mode. I think there are 8 full 8 bit games in total. The RPG, I've heard, is about 15 hours long. 8 full "classic" 8 bit games. How awesome is that?

Anyone else pick this up, or plan on it? I know a lot of you have PS3s and 360s so I imagine Street Fighter 4 is the only thing that matters right now. I definitely recommend this game to anyone. This game is awesome even without the nostalgia factor.

Been looking at it. I didn't realize you could unlock full games. I'm sold now. :y:

Yeah I downloaded it the night it was dumped here recently. Only played the first challenge though.

It's not street fighter so i don't care. :mad:

[Funky Fly]

Nah, for real, I will check it out when my CycloDS shits get here.

I had a lot of interest in it, but as soon as I heard you can play full versions of each game I was sold. The first game, Cosmic Gate, is pretty addictive.

This game is seriously awesome. Buy it.

Star Prince is an awesome top down SHMUP.

[Funky Fly]

I fucking love romulation.

Didn't know if this deserves it's own thread or not, so whatever.

So Retro Game Challenge 2 is out in Japan. Very excited to play this, especially Gun Dual. #3431.

"There is also a scrolling fighter to play as well. One game Kugure! Girijan MAX (the GB platformer) is actually a game trainer which trains you up to play platformers. Three other games from the first return in special editions: Cosmic Gate, Hanguru Man (which lets you play as his sister), a time attack version of Rally King & a score attack version of Star Prince. I'm hoping that RGC has sold enough so this game will be released in English too."
