Twinkle Star Sprites 2 ~ La Petite Princesse ~

[Leroy]

For the longest time I can imagine, every time somebody asked me "What game would you want a sequel of?," every time I popped the original in for some fun, I'd scream in agony wishing that a sequel to Twinkle Star Sprites would come.

My prayers have been answered AND IT'S GOING TO BE ONLINE!!

http://www.snkplaymore.jp/official/twinkle_star/index.html

It comes out on July 28th, I've already got a pre-order on it.

So who's ready to take on the Lord of Twinkle Star? *evil grin*

are you sure its a sequel? from all the discussion i have read so far i had heard it was just another port of the original. thats cool as shit if its a sequel though!

[Leroy]

Look at the site bro.. new characters, new graphics and probably new game mechanics. I belive when it was first announced it was going to be a port of the original with online mode (much like they are doing with Fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves and Last Blade) but all was silent on what was going on with the SNK Online games and BAM!! Totally new Twinkle Star Sprites.

[Cthulhu]

It's a sequel, not a remake. It might not have a "2" stuck on the end, but it's a sequel.

[max 330 mega]

damn thats awesome. how SNK Playmore doesnt dissapoint.

[ClubNinja]

Sequel?

Color me covered in pee.

[Captain Wrong]

Sequel?

Color me covered in pee.

I'm not quite this excited, but I am excited, rest ashured.

[maxlords]

Yeah, I'm not coloring Clubninja whether he wants it or not. I too however am also excited about this one!

[buttasuperb]

Sequel?

Color me covered in pee.

haha

But will it make it to the US?

[ubersaurus]

Of course it won't. SNK hates the fans. Always has. That's why their home ports always took like 500 years to hit console, and then 200 more to hit stateside.

[AB Positive]

damn.. ps2... if they make a jp xbox port I could play it

Of course they won't bring it to the US, as Sony of America are a bunch of bastards. Why the heck do you think Europe got a PS2 version of Metal Slug 3 and the USA didn't. I think the chance of a European release is a lot bigger then a USA release. Even though I heard rumors on n-g.com that Ignition went into liquadation.

Anyway I think I keep it with the Dreamcast version as I don't really like the new graphics in this version.

Of course not.

That won't stop me from importing it, though.

[Ed Oscuro]

So...xbox only? Damn

How I miss the days...like, a year or two ago...when things were so much simpler, when the Neo Geo was all you needed. :(

[Leroy]

I'll post a mini-review once I get the game. Here's hoping this game improves on the original and not takes away from it. I love the art style already so that's a good start.

[Haoie]

Is it supposed to sound like a porn to someone who's never known about it until now?

Because it really does sound like it.

All i can say is flip top mod here i come ;)

[Leroy]

Just got word that my order shipped Tuesday!! Now the waiting.

So how come we got Slug 4 & 5 here?

[UndeadKing]

The reason Metal Slug 4 & 5 were released in the Us is because SNK bundled them together. SCEA would not allow SNK to release Metal Slug 3 in the Us because they wanted to charge full price. Same reason SCEA denied Snk vs Capcom and Samurai Shodown V, among others.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

I'm holding out for a US release.
Here's the SKU for EB games
2583052
Go reserve yours today! ;)


Calm down, there's no release date. I just found the sku in the system earlier this week. So it's more like a 'possibly, eventually' release date.

[Leroy]

Well, I got home very late last night and partially drunk, but my copy was there and I played a few rounds of it before I had to go to bed. I can't really call this a sequel as there's nothing added to it. It's pretty much the original Twinkle Star Sprites with new characters and 3D graphics pretending to be 2D. Not that there is anything wrong with that.. it's still awesome and I finally have a copy I can play on a system I keep hooked up, but just don't set yourself up for disappointment on this one. It's the original game with new paint.

That's pretty much what the SNK booth employees said at E3 when I asked them about it.

I guess this is a good excuse to finally import a PS2 ;)

[Xexyz]

GD I hate SCEA! I hope SNK and all the other developers that still make 2D games migrate to the Xbox360 or even better, the Revolution.
