Geez…as if I didn’t already have enough to buy in February. SSBB, No More Heroes, and now Baroque. -_-;;

I weep for my wallet.

Ever since I saw the Jpn trailer, I was somewhat interested because of the stylish anime opening, any word on the PS2 version having the optional Jpn track? Yagami Light (Miyano Mamoru) is one of the angels in the tower The rest of the Jpn cast sound really cool too. I almost wanted to hunt down the original Saturn game, but I thought the graphics would be too dated by now.

It’s already out in Japan, you can get impressions from some people already.

Only heard good things, so far.

It looks cool from the trailer, but I recall reading about this game a while back and not being too interested. I’ll just have to wait and read more impressions when then game comes out.

Well… Yes, it’s a remake from the original Saturn/Psone game.

@ SomeDude: I actually don’t know; I was waiting for it to be released in US for the PS2, rooting for it to be localized.

Between the two I’d probably prefer a Wii version as long as it maintains the original gameplay and perhaps extras like progressive scan and 16:9… But… I live in Europe, where the original Atlus Wii’s Trauma Center took almost a year to come by, and my console is as it came from factory (can’t run imports, neither is there a 100% method of running original imports yet)

Thus, I’ll probably still buy the PS2 US version (as I did with Odin Sphere and Persona 3 US releases), and… perhaps I’ll pick the PAL Baroque for Wii, if it ever comes here.

I’m still happy Atlus did this, it’s a good game, and I rather get good games ported than crappy games, I really hope it sells. (but I want the game sooner, not later)

Atlus is not that much of a big developer though, and if the market keeps going as it is (with Wii on top) I think developing for it can be a win-win situation, not to mention almost imperative for atlus, having the lowest development costs. But yes, Baroque selling would be a perfect way to show they have public; I hope it does.

Pedro: I’m guessing that if you’re going to want them to keep making RPGs for the Wii, you’ll probably have to buy the Wii version and convince your friends too, as well.

Andrew: “The Great Heat” reminds me of “Hot Hot Heat”, and they’re a really crappy band. Also, “The Great Heat” sounds kind of weak for a destructive event that burns the entire world.

The Blaze? They should’ve kept it as the “Great Heat” instead, but I guess a minor complaint considering it’s getting a release in N.A.

great, Atlus should do this more often (porting good games to the wii)
