Played Terranigma a few years back on an Emulator...Got very far in it, but never beat it because I couldn't figure out an area.

The issue with bringing back Terranigma is the fact that Enix published it. Quintet (the best SNES developer you've never heard of) made the game, and has since gone either bankrupt, or in seclusion.

Because of this, we may never see sequels to:
- Soulblazer (one of the best top-town RPGs ever. Very old)
- Illusion of Gaia (sequel to SB)
- Terranigma (sequel to IoG)
- Granstream Saga (sequel to Terranigma on PS1)
- Actraiser
- Actraiser 2
- Robotrek

Which is very sad, given the blisteringly high quality of Quintet titles. One of my goals, if I get rich, is to buy the rights to every Quintet title and make sequels to thhem :)

I hope you become rich

Is Granstream Saga any good  ( made under  the label Shade not Quintet ) ?

I hope at least that Enix will port those masterpiece on Virtual Console.

For whoever is interested Tomoyoshi Miyazaki and Masaya Hashimoto , key figure at Quintet, also worked on the first 2 Ys games  before founding the company.

Ys Books 1&2 can be played on VC ( very charming experience ).

Sadly enough, I cannot comment on Granstream Saga - I didn't know Quintet made it until researching the Terranigma series (Blazer-Gaia and Terranigma) series, as well as Quintet, and found GS was the sequel.

It looks (from what Ive seen) to be OK - it took the top-down design from the series, and added in some pretty foul 3d areas...But did have some neat anime/cartoon scenes, and had a decent storyline. Probably not as good as the rest of the series, but I'd take anything from Quintet. Pacing of combat seems to be much slower than anything else Quintet made that was action-oriented.

Alundra - not made by Quintet - was a pretty decent top-down adventure for the Playstation 1 - It retained the classic 2d sprites from, but added some nice PS1-era stuff to the mix. I haven't beaten Alundra yet, but it seems pretty fun for what it is.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

3d happened. It totally destroyed top-down and side-scrolling designs.

I would love a new Actraiser and Terranigma. 2 of my most played games on the SNES, they were amazing.

oh gosh, forgot about IoG!

That is a REALLY good game. The SNES truly was the king of RPGs, we are all talking about the lesser know ones, not to mention 2 out of the 3 best FFs were on the SNES in addition to DQ 5 and 6.... Several FE's from Nintendo..... Chono Trigger... man those were the day... and yes Mario RPG!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't seems good like the 2D games. I'm more interested in Solo Crisis for Saturn ( developed under the label Quintet ) but I don't know japanese and I think it is a very rare game nowadays :-|

Check out Black Sigil:  Blade of the Exiled for the Nintendo DS.  It is epic.
