I've got Anearth Fantasy Stories and I want to play through it sooooo badly but I cant find a english guide anywhere.. The graphics are soo good.

You won't find a better guide than this in any language:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Black_Tiger again.

It's kinda easy for me to buy fully modded Wii consoles around here, even the a bit older ones which are still compatible with the GC games and controllers. It's really high on my list of possibilities. The Factor 5 exclusive games on the GC and some stuff like NiGHTs on the Wii are really tempting. Also, a lot of not-used-by-all-people controllers to explore. I think that some games are really dismissed due to people just using the lame motion controller or cheapo shitty stuff.

Yeah, there are a lot of instances where the classic controller is way better then the motion controls (which felt shoehorned in)...still, there were a couple stellar examples of motion control implementation.

Hehehe, thanks for the considerations but I live in Brazil, South America. A lot of bananas around here, ahahaha.

Heh

I guessed, but I do try not to assume anything. Sites like these tend to be pretty international, and (with the general exception of Asians in my experience) people posting tend to have pretty good English (sometimes better then some native speakers I could name ).

I'm not heavy on RPGs, actually it's far form being my favorite genre, but I never pass any genre. It's just that I prefer FPS, racing, flight, platformer and general action stuff. Will take your comment into account though.

Fair enough. That helps focus some suggestions knowing your prefered genres.

Klonoa is another big reason for my interest on it. Good call.

When I bought my copy of the PS1 version, I was happy to pay 30 USD well into the PS2 life cycle, and I felt it was totally worth it.

Don't take it as personally or something, but I really don't give a damn about the Mario, Zelda and other Nintendo big franchises... They say almost nothing to me as a gamer, especially the newer iterations.

Not at all. I mention them because nintendo 1st party games are one of the main selling points for Nintendo systems. In light of that, I'd probably shift my main recommendation to the PCEngine/TG-16 (which others have already covered pretty well). You aren't the first person I know stating a dislike for N's big IPs, and I can certainly see those arguments.

Yeah, I know. It has like 4 good games or something. Awfully lacking in that genre. But it seems to be a tradition for Nintendo platforms since the N64 and all its kiddy bullshit.

Fair enough. Yeah, if your interested in checking out fighting games there are better systems for that.

I *hate* all Smash Bros games, they are not fighting games in my book.

To be fair, I'm not especially fond of them either. I acknowledge their popularity and the general competance at what they do (I think of them more like a PvP brawler in the vein of Final Fight/Streets or Rage, rather then a straight up Fighting Game like a Street Fighter of Fatal Fury

Sounds interesting, I'll need to have a look on those.

Another interesting Gamecube game that I remembered was this game:

Its also kind of weird, but pretty good.

VC == payed emulation == crap, in my book.

Again, fair enough. There is always modding the Wii for Homebrew/imports/expanded emulation.




In your case, though, yeah...I'd probably go with PCEngine instead.

I vote X68000. It's the MD on steroids. I know how much I'd enjoy it if I had one. If that's too expensive, then go for the PCE CD. It's the MD's slightly less athletic, slightly more attractive sister.
