HURRAY! Super Fighter Team announces reprint Legend of Wukong & Star Odyssey

Okay, okay! If you've been a member here, you've probably seen me gripe about the fact that "Legend of Wukong" was discontinued abruptly when "Star Odyssey" was released. If you've ever checked online, you've probably noticed that sellers & resellers are selling this game for quite a large sum of money and I just could not justifying paying the outrageous prices. I had written to Brandon a number of times asking if he would consider re-releasing the game and he did state that it was quite likely that he would re-release the game. But when Super Fighter Team made the announcement in June 2013 that they were re-releasing the game as a part of their "RPG Trifecta Pack" (digital Windows and Mac OS editions), I shelved my hopes that I was ever going to get a physical copy of the game.

Welp! I was wrong! I just recieved this email this morning!

He is re-releasing both Legend of Wukong & Star Odyssey! There is other information about Nightmare Busters (great game by the way), special twentieth anniversary edition of Beggar Prince, and their future release of Magic Girl and Cascade. But the announcement of the re-release of "Legend of Wukong" overshadows them all! Especially for SEGA Genesis owners who missed purchasing a copy a few years ago!

CURENT MOOD <- E C S T A T I C ... I CAN FEEL MY BRAIN DOING A HAPPY DANCE IN MY THICK CRANIUM!

I can finally play this game which has eluded me all this time! Thanks Brandon! Thanks very much! :D

CASCADE and MAGIC GIRL are coming to the Genesis / Mega Drive!

Is your favorite 16-bit game system shaking in nervous anticipation? Ah, well that must be because we've got two great new games waiting to fill its slot!

CASCADE is a dice-based puzzler set in space, where your skill will be judged by wacky aliens.

MAGIC GIRL is a vertical shooter that puts you in the role of a young girl fighting to save her entire planet from certain doom.

Both games are now available for pre-order for only $40 each, from their respective websites...

CASCADE was originally developed by Epyx, and initially slated for release only in Japan. This never before seen game will amuse you with its quirky aliens that welcome you with silly spoken lines such as, "Oh no, a human!" and "May the dice be with you." It also features a two player mode.

MAGIC GIRL was developed by Gamtec in Taiwan. In addition to translating the game into English, we at Super Fighter Team have also fixed a few bugs that plagued the Chinese original.

I wonder why the delays are so long. It not like the game is not already developed.
Maybe they just want to hoarde pre-orders to actually pay for the game manufacture.

Hmmm yeah, I wonder what made them necessary again. Why can't they just produce the old games at the same time as the new ones, which are released in 2015?

I might sound like fool for asking this, but are they worth the price? $60 or $70 seems high to me, but I'm willing to pay if it's a good investment. I love RPGs.

I just got back into Genesis collecting a year or so ago, so I haven't kept up with anything since the 90's.

That's what I'm thinking. It seems like Beggar Prince pre-orders have been open for a few years now. Maybe he just doesn't have the funds for manufacturing, or he's not confident that he can make back the investment.

I think they're worth it. They used to sell them cheaper in the past but obviously that wasn't financially sound. I am just glad to see them reprinted. This announcement also might prevent prices from breaching the $300 mark for existing copies.

They are worth every penny.
Legend of Wukong, as simplistic as it is, took me back to Dragon Warrior (1) on the NES.
And I hadn't been able to get my early 16bit graphics RPG fix since Phantasy Star II and III until I played Star Odyssey.

Can't wait for my Beggar Price copy.

Talk about false advertising. That's Fox News levels of bullshit right there :lol:

I dunno. I completely fell in love with the game. It looks and sounds fantastic and plays very well. I'd say it's one of the genre's highlights on MD.

Hmmmm I guess I will be getting both of these then.

I'll finally get a copy of LoW to play.

I've really enjoyed BP & SO.

I have Beggar Prince. The cart feels alright, the screws aren't Genesis cart, the plastic box doesn't feel as high quality as the OG Genesis cases and I also felt that the quality of the manual was so-so.

As for the game... yeah, its about 'average', basically see why it wasn't released anywhere else. Not being negative, just being truthful. Its nice to have in my collection but thats about it.
