I bought this game, finished it, and reviewed it. I really think it was nice to have a huge ambitious fan project like this on the Genesis, but I had problems with the game itself. It felt like you never got enough EXP and some of the writing was downright weird.

I'm with the OP though. Although I personally am a little bummed to see this game ported to so many platforms, I still respect that Watermelon is delivering new games to play on our old hardware at all. The idea of the beat em' up or whatever they have planned for the SNES has me very interested. I think that would be a much easier project for them to deliver on than a RPG the scale of Pier Solar was.

No, the SNES game will be an RPG. The SNES is only allowed to have RPGs. The Genesis is only allowed to have sports games and the PCE/Turbo is only allowed to have shooters.

I could live with that very well :)

Wouldn't that actually fit the hardware better?   :-k :-k :-k

I don't.

What they're doing is bastardizing the concept of doing this for fun, and in the spirit of keeping the console alive.

They've decided money and shit are more important, so they better manipulate the market and whore their subpar RPG out to as many platforms as they can possible hamfist the game out onto.

I haven't really been following Watermelon much past the release of Pier Solar, but I think there's still some passion for the Mega Drive over at Watermelon. They are developing a new beat em' up for it and a SNES project as well after all.

Off-topic: but I checked out some of your TG-16 stuff and your MSX coding entry a while ago and love it. I personally thought you had the most impressive MSX entry of all and that's impressive considering you were said to the be the newcomer.

Beat em' up RPGs are awesome, but I am worried about Watermelon tackling anything that involves exp after playing Pier Solar :P

I already knew.  They talked about it that one time.

It seems like an interesting idea, but I bet it's done wrong.

If you want a beat em up RPG, look no further than the D&D games.   Anything else is just retarded.
