That's the scenario that was supposed to bring everything together, right? It always seemed crazy to me that Square released a game as unfinished as SaGa Frontier. The entire conclusion was literally missing, leaving a bunch of random chapters. I know it's SaGa and all those games are a mess, but damn. At least Xenogears got to narrate the missing stuff.

Holy cow, that's awesome. I'm hoping for a physical release on this one, but I'll get it any way I can!

someone has recreated Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil for PC. At least HRG's quantum field effect wasn't responsible for this one.

You know what, though? Despite the games' awful reputations (especially for the animation), structurally they ain't that bad. They just suffer horribly from the CDi controls. I'm definitely willing to give these PC remasters a shot.

Just so folks know, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light is available now on Switch. It's mostly a straight port (with a translation!), but does add a couple of quality-of-life features, including a 2x speed mode, bookmarks, and a rewind function if desired. Also interestingly, the ROM is apparently patched on load, so you can't currently use it on real hardware. Will be interested to see if hackers manage to work that out. Anyway, at $6 I will probably bite. I skipped the collector's edition, which is a bunch of physical merch but still just a digital game code. www.nintendo.com/games/detail/fire-emblem-shadow-dragon-and-the-blade-of-light-switch/

Wait, what? That's interesting.
A new GG Aleste game by M2, along with the ports? Fascinating, to say the least.

New mini-arcade cabinet developed and sold by Sega:
"This miniaturized arcade cabinet is modeled after the popular modular arcade cabinet of the same name, one that you'll find at any Japanese arcade worth its weight in yen, and it comes packed with 37 original Sega arcade games—some of which have never been ported to consoles or PCs. At an Amazon JP cost of ¥13,511, or $130, that's a somewhat steep per-game cost compared to other recent miniaturized retro consoles—though it also includes a built-in screen, arcade-caliber controls, and HDMI-out capabilities." Here's the list of games in chronological order:
Flicky Sega Ninja My Hero Space Harrier Fantasy Zone Wonder Boy Quartet 2 Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars (with Stella) Alien Syndrome Wonder Boy in Monster Land Shinobi Sonic Boom Altered Beast Scramble Spirits Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair Gain Ground Crack Down Golden Axe Cyber Police ESWAT Shadow Dancer Alien Storm Columns Bonanza Bros. Columns II Thunder Force AC Rad Mobile Cotton Arabian Fight Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder Puyo Puyo Dark Edge Puzzle & Action: Tant-R Virtua Fighter Stack Columns Puzzle & Action: Ichidant-R Puyo Puyo 2 Dottori Kun (Dot Race)

Wait, whaaaat? GG Aleste 3? I wonder if it'll be like a combined remix of the first two or a proper new entry. I'd want to play that for sure.
