Guardian Heroes Advance on the way?

You know what... I just noticed that...

The quote box fooled me into thinking it was what he said. Didn't notice the part under it. Should have noticed when I hit the quote button.

I should go change it so I don't look like an idiot >_>;;

Nah, screw it.

Both Ippo and AB are liscened from anime, right? Maybe they had more money to work with because of that.

Valgar linked me to HAN's diary, which seems to indicate (although my Japanese isn't so shit hot) that this dude is going to do additional arrangments for the OST. Check out his discography... pretty prolific...

I think he's the producer at Super Sweep, not a composer. I remember his name from the Border Down soundtrack, but he was the producer; Yack composed. Alot of the things in the discography say he was an "arranger" as well.

For Astro Boy, Sega did fork over for some additional freelance artists, which surely helped. But Ippo was all in-house Treasure staff, and both games were made in a very short period of time. Besides more time and staff I don't see how money could affect that sort of thing.

$20 says it's just different people. HAN's probably doing the sprites himself, and maybe someone new is doing the BGs.

Okay, now I'm getting interested. I can't believe Randy pussed out though! Maybe Nicole, but not Randy... that dude had a flaming rabbit.

agreed and agreed.

*Shake Shake* that IS Marina! awesome :D

Just saw the IGN movie. Color me excited. More Treasure beat`em-up action? Yes please.

The fighting action seems good enough in the video, but I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed. The lack of parallax and multiplane combat seems to have taken away a bit of the trademark style that I loved about Guardian Heroes. It still looks like a really good beat'em up, but not quite as unique.

And it might be the transfer, but I don't know if I've ever seen the GBA's color palette so sorely underused. C'mon, it can display more colors that that! Oh well, can't expect it to look as good as the Saturn original.

At least there's an option for 2-player co-op! :tu:

EDIT: The colors look more vivid in IGN's screenshots.
