Amazon & Gamestop - Retro Game Challenge DS - $19.99

Even if there is a magical number that sales had to get to in order to warrant RGC2, it's taken SO long to get there, I can't see it as being a good business decision. If it had passed that number in the first month, there's definitely sales potential for the sequel. But this... no, that number has been rendered moot if they have any sense. That ship has sailed, and they're just saying that to placate people (and drum up however more sales they can eke out by saying it).
 
[quote name='soonersfan60']I wish that they would tell us what the threshold is for RGC1 in order to bring over RGC2. Also, did the Japanese version of RGC1 have an English option? I might actually import the 2nd one.[/QUOTE]
No English on either game. My buddy imported the sequel, and it's all Japanese.

[quote name='Thrinn']I would certainly hope we see the sequel, but so far our chances look slim.

Interview was from a couple months ago. There's still hope. And there are other publishers out there -- like Ignition Entertainment (Blue Dragon+, Muramasa, Nostalgia).
 
[quote name='Kapwanil']I'm just going to chime in that if you grew up in the 8 bit era and hold fond memories from years ago then this game is more than likely for you. And, for $20, it really is a steal.[/QUOTE]

I grew up in the 8-bit era, but ours was a Commodore 64 household. Still, I'm seriously tempted to pick this up. While I'd normally go used to save a few bucks, this might be worth getting new as a way to support the developer and encourage them to bring the sequel.
 
[quote name='Wolfpup']I've gotten sick of it :whistle2:/ Cool concept though.[/QUOTE]

To each his own. I've played it much longer than necessary. There's still a couple games I haven't been able to beat without using codes.
 
Called just about every GS and no sealed copies, I hate the display ones because a million kids have grubbied them up. Walked into Fry's, they had 5 or 6 copies on the shelf @ $19.80.

EXACTLY this! Really fun game, and a blast for those old schools gamers.

Really had a good time with this one. Hoping for a sequel.
 
Great game, good price. I loved the care and detail put into all the games and extras.
The TV show looks like it's awesome, could only find like 2 translated clips on the internet though.
As for buying it new, why not? Doesn't seem super likely the sequel will be localized, but you never know. Maybe Atlus might pick it up one day. But I can't talk, bought it used myself during the last 20% off used DS gamestop coupon.
