Taito Legends 2

[Yoshi]

Yes! I want Darius II to get the same treatment.

I got TL2 Xbox (PAL) yesterday and was disappointed to find out that the Darius on this comp is not the one that I love from the PSX. I kept thinking Darius Gaiden is the one where you can battle with super lazers against the bosses, but that's actually G-Darius. Is G-Darius on any of the compilations?

EDIT: reading is fundamental. Like, the first post in this thread mentions G-Darius being a PS2 exclusive.

[dakidski]

Yup. G-Darius is on the PAL ps2 ed. of TL2.

This thread has convinced me to pick this up.

Update: WTF Puzzle Bobble 2? Back to emu's for that one. False fucking advertising, that. Every screenshot/video Taito shows on their website is a lie. The thread was right about that one, too. You strip out the characters and Bubble Bobble trappings, and you're basically left with "Snood". Poor form.

Otherwise, 39 games for a trade-in, okie dokie.

Now, if they'd only release a DATA EAST collection. With Karnov and Bad Dudes.

Robocop PLZ. Who even owns the rights to Data East's stuff anymore?

Metal Black's MAX laser automatically goes to thunder after you use it, whether you hold the button down or not.

This is game-breaking and really pissed me off. It could've been corrected had Metal Black been play-tested for even three minutes. Seriously, this is the equivalent to releasing a Street Fighter Alpha 2 port without supers.

Any idea if the other releases of Taito Memories/Legends suffer the same oversight?

[YellerDog]

It seems emulation is very ethically clear to me in this case.

1)Company releases "Greatest Hits" package.
2)I purchase "Greatest Hits" package.
3)Said package is very broken on certain games.
4)Company releases "fixed" package down the line at additional cost.

No. I now own it. I'll get my own "fix", kthx.

Why worry about how other people see your ethics? You spent money, you deserve the product you were promised. There's no need to justify it to tight-asses.

That was the only thing about this compilation that I really despised. It sucks so much of the life out of the game.

Still, for the price and the other content offered, I'm not too burned up about it.

Agreed on that front. I really like the Darius series, fish-killin' at its finest. Elevator Action 2 is really great, also. I remember wanting to get this on the Saturn way back when.

I cannot figure out the skiing game to save my life.
