Graet Game. I was thinking about importing the EX game for the GBA from America, so I might do just that.

Just got it... and finished it. It's quite fun, but perhaps a bit too short.

Best played with friends! this game was awesome when me and a buddy played it straight through. it's long enough to finish in a sitting. maybe 5-6hrs.

It's nested with so many special NES moments like eating coffee cups! I hope it's released reallllllllll soon!

How difficult is this game? I'm looking for a fairly straightforward fighting game, so I won't get it if I won't be able to play through it...

I wouldn't say it's too difficult. You really just punch and kick, and later special moves are variations of those. And if you get into a pinch, you can always "level up" RPG style by killing easy guys and buying food.

Thanks, I think I'll get it in the near future :)

This game doesn't look my style. But for some reason, it still appeals to me. I doubt I'd get it any time soon though.

As soon as I get some Wii points, this'll be one of the first games I'll get.

This game is confusing as hell

This game is confusing as hell

I remeber playing it with a friend when i first tried it so he told me what to buy. so when I got it for wii i realised how much work it is to figure out all the stuff you can buy and what each stat is? I had to learn some of it for myself.

I'd look for a faq to tell you what everything is good for.

Stamina is the games version of HP. So when you want to replensh your health get something that adds to you stamina.

buy the Stone Hand and Dragon Feet. These will give you one hit kills.

when you loose you. you regain all your stamina at the cost of half the money you've raised.

This game is great, but it is way, waaay too short.



Freakin' beat it in a matter of hours... I bought it Sunday, then beat it Tuesday. I'm sure I'll replay it though, since it'll make the wait for EarthBound shorter.

[Sektor]

I got this game and beat it in 30 mins. It's still worth it however.


And it isn't confusing, all you have to do is beat the boss in each screen and then go to the final one, simon/slick.
