[Damaramu]

Just got an email from them today; visited the site and thought the game looks promising.

Anyone else gonna preorder Legend of Wukong?

HOLY $#!%! I'm all over this!

I can't believe that we are getting yet another Genesis RPG . First Beggar Prince, then Pier Solar, and now this! Seeing as how the Super Fighter Team did such a great job with the BP translation, I expect nothing but greatness.

They will certainly get my money!

Why can't people do this for the Super Famicom/SNES?! THEN I'd be all over it!!!

Does anyone know why there seems to be a focus on the MD/GEN?

[Simply Dave]

I'll be keeping my eye on this one too. Hope it turns out to be pretty good.

[MachineGex]

I sure hope people like the cover on this one.

[suppafly]

Keep up the great work!!!

We would all love to see a NEW Shmup on genesis too!!!

I think I know some possible reasons for that:

1) SNES is much harder to program for.
2) Producing actual carts is even harder, since you need this license chip Nintendo made to avoid piracy in each cart. I think Frog Feast solved the problem by adding old chips into the carts.
3) There is a quite big development community for the Mega Drive. The SNES, on the other hand, has a much larger translation hacking community.

This is looking incredible. As stated earlier, we're getting spoiled with all these new Genesis releases. Pier Solar is one of my most anticipated titles of 2008, and now it looks like Legend of Wukong is shaping up to be just as exciting.

I can't wait until December.

A pleasant email to wake up to in my inbox!
Keep up the good work Cobb!
I shall be ordering shortly!

[Damaramu]

Yeah, I cannot wait for this game. I like the fact the character portraits change in the combat screen.

"The history of China is about to be rewritten by a thirteen year old boy."

- Legend of Wukong tagline

Some person posted something in the NET that implied that this "Legend of Wukong" is in fact a variation of the Journey to the West. Does anyone over here can confirm this? If this is really just Sun Wukong !?

I know that China is supposed to be a revolutionary country on the introduction of ideograms that represent real words ...

[Iron Draggon]

I placed a preorder for Legend of Wukong and a classic USA version of Pier Solar today... I can't believe I'm getting TWO new Genny games this year!

YYYAAAYYY!!!

as for why this isn't happening on the SNES too, it's because Genesis does what Nintendon't! or at least it's because nobody cares enough for the SNES to translate any of its untranslated games and sell them on carts... they just translate them and release the hacked ROMS for free play on emu's... LAME!

now if only we could get some new Genny games that aren't RPG's! *SIGH*

This would appear to be the case. He's got his staff and "headband". Not to mention the pig.

Great news!

Hello, everyone.

Thank-you for your interest in our new videogame.

Yes, the game's story is loosely based on Journey to the West. In this telling, the main character isn't a monkey, but a boy from a more modern time (1996) who isn't particularly handsome (i.e. monkey-faced). He's sent back to China's Tang Dynasty by accident, and must regain his time machine to get home. More information on the story and its characters is available on the game's official website (www.legendofwukong.com).

Interesting, this is another "RPG" that is localized for a international release. The review compare the game to Lunar the Silver Star, maybe Super Fighter Team could get the path of Working Designs and root their localizations towards the RPG genre. Any (hope) information about other types of cartridges like Fighters and Shooter?

A horizontal shooter called Zaku is currently in development for the Atari Lynx; we at Super Fighter Team will publish this game upon its completion. If you find it interesting, please consider joining our mailing list.

A blog ... It is very nice.

In fact, I was thinking in upload something cool to the Internet.

To bad that Google ads do not pay for Lottery sites, and most of the web rings are *FREE*. In the times of the Internet, unfortunately not everything would be roses. Nice "loose" based story (about the monkey king and the pig). Also PayPal does not accept money from gambling. Not even some religious groups.
