Shining Force (every single one of them) my fav strategy rpgs ever


A small tear formed when I saw someone add a screenshot of Guardian Heroes... I'd punch a baby for that series to return somehow.


Camelot Software Planning went on to make the Golden Sun series on GBA, which I also loved. It's too bad Sega didn't pull them in to add to their development teams. I think Nintendo was smart pulling them away. It really killed Sega's RPG efforts.

Then Working Designs turned the cold shoulder after a booth mishap and went to Sony. It just made it worse for them. Which was a bad decision for both companies in the end. They were really good for each other. Now they are dead.

Guardian Heroes got an Xbox 360 port. I tried to play it, but the controller doesn't work with it for some reason. I might buy a street fighter pad to play with it eventually. It's kind of like the Saturn's pad (best gamepad ever). Treasure made a sequel called Advance Guardian Heroes for GBA which wasn't that good. Then the same team that made the first Guardian Heroes made Code of Princess for 3DS.

Sega had a lot of good games, but they just got stupid with their decisions towards the end.


it's so sad we go from the fantastic shining force into a mario golf developer. i tried out code of princess but even though the concept is there, the hardware is so underpowered that I couldn't do it. it's a tragedy that with the death of Sega these developers went with the nintendo toys instead of remaining in the console space

i miss Sega of the old days a lot, but the way things are right now I kind of hope they would sell off their old IPs to whoever would honor that legacy. 

i'm keeping my hopes in check though
