Pier Solar: Official Thread

[cleeg]

How many people are there like me who don't like RPGs but are getting this game anyway? I've never felt the urge to try one, what with all that taking turns and stuff. I think it's because of all the Virtua Fighter I've played that I'm a quick fix adrenaline junkie type of gamer. I'm not too good at thinking! Still, you just HAVE to have a brand new MD release regardless, who knows, I may grow to love RPGs.

Yo!

I prefer racing games and first/third person shooters. I can play RPGs, but they don't hold me like a Doom or Ridge Racer. I mainly ordered it to show my support for commercial Genesis software.

Check out the news at the Pier Solar site. No release date!? Thats intense. I'm goona be so jealous since everyone will be posting that they got thier copy of Pier Solar way before I'll ever get mine, knowing my luck. CAN'T WAIT!

[Bramsworth]

I'm placing bets the first received copy is reported on Monday

[NavesRegge]

I wish I had a copy of Pier Solar coming soon... but I don't. Wah!

I'll have to check back on the website frequently now to see if they have any surplus. Unless, I can buy the ROM because I plan to get an EverDrive in the near future (after Christmas if I have enough left over money from buying a headphone amplifier and cool things like that).

Whoever it is that is part of WaterMelon here (sorry I don't remember who), would you be so kind as to notify me in some way if you have some more copies after all the pre-orders are shipped out? Or maybe just let me buy the ROM if there's no copies left. It would be much appreciated!

I used to like these kinds of games in the 16bit days, but I've learned to hate RPGs since then. I'm partial to 2D arcade action games these days. Still, every once in a while I'll start up an RPG and go at it until I get tired of it. I am looking forward to Pier Solar though. I just hope they'll let me speed up the battles to ludicrous speed.

The news entry says that shipping will start "soon" so my guess is it'll ship some day next week and most of us should receive it just before Christmas.
Don't know if I like the news. You were looking for a release day? Finally some information on when you might expect the game on your doorstep? Well no, just check for it every day and who knows, it might be there? Or not. I thought it had already shipped after the announcement that it was being packaged or that we'd at least get a news like "all games shipped today".

oddly enough when I went to the pier solar forums today it says there are no forums.

It's related to the MEGA JAWUSUM stuff that is happening, please wait a bit .

[Guntz]

So who's gonna write the official Sega-16 review of Pier Solar once it comes out?

[Zebbe]

Not me, since I've worked on the game myself :P.

[violet]

the first person to finish the game could write the review.

I'll write the official review for spanish magazine GamesTribune, but I'm afraid I'm not THAT good at english to contribute to Sega-16 in the same way :P

[The Coop]

It'll probably be Melf since he's been playing it already.

[Zebbe]

He has? How is that?
