Taito Legends 2 finally coming to the USA! Also a PSP edition!

[MarioMania]

Well Taito Legends 2 is on the Xbox in the UK..Is it Regoin Locked

[RetroYoungen]

Taito Legends Power Up for the PSP was already released in the UK (dunno about Japan, I've only ever seen it Euro), maybe I should head out and pick it up now. Though maybe it'll be slightly different in the US release, the current package looks really nice.

Blame it on the Xbox's all but dead status, unfortunately.

why not release a dual 360/original xbox version? it worked for the burger king games

[Icarus Moonsight]

Legends 2 looks alot better than the first PS2 offering. I'm definately grabbing this one, I may even pick up the first Legends as well now. Nice shmup offerings... I'm impressed.

[Tron 2.0]

Count me in i wanna get it for the PS2.

I was worry if it would get a domestic release or not.

I remember it was listed for a March release then it change to TBA.

Glad to know a publisher came through finally.

Now if they could just get a release date for it... i realy want it for the,Legend Of Kage.

Heh my, avatar should have gave that away all ready... as being one of my favorite titles from Taito.

[Mayhem]

Just great, months after I buy both Taito Memories 1 volumes this is announced. That's my luck, lol.

If you mean the Japanese versions, keep them, they are better than the Western releases

For starters the new Volume 2s in Japan have both "Operation" games, Rainbow Islands Plus and Chase HQ...

[Oobgarm]

Nice to see that this release has the original Qix on it.

I think the last compilation to include this game was Taito Memories for N-Gage, which quietly fell off the face of the Earth.

EDIT: Might have to import a v.2, since it has CHASE H.Q. (!!)

[heybtbm]

An arcade version of Insector X! I've only played the Genesis version (to death...back in the day). I will definitely be picking this up. Please let this be $19.99...I can't stand $29.99 retro compilations (Tecmo Classic Arcade...cough...cough). Great news.

[Leo_A]

Good news, been waiting for this for a long time.

Taito Legends 2 from Europe isn't region locked by the way, will play fine in North American systems.

[segagamer]

Count me in as well, and should be priced at no more than $19.99 USD (must preorder it asap). I also have the PC versions of Legends 1 and 2 and Legends 1 on PS2.

[7th lutz]

It is about time and I will be getting the ps 2 version.

[Leo_A]

EB is listing $19.99 and May 7th as the release date for both versions (Good sign I would think, was worried the PSP version would be $30 like some collections like Sega Genesis Collection have been on the PSP).

I'll be getting both versions, already imported the Xbox version from Europe but the 4 different games on the PS2 version and stuff like Space Dungeon on the PSP version make them worthwhile.

Now if we'd just get Intellivision Lives for the DS, I'd be happy. Or least until I hear about Europe getting a new Taito Legends like Japan just got 2 of...

[exit]

I was hoping for Elevator Action Returns to also be on the PSP, oh well.

[JPeeples]

Despite being bummed that Chase HQ won't be on this, I'll still get the PS2 version ASAP.

[kainemaxwell]

Great news! Interesting game lineup this time around.

[Mark III]

I really hope this is coming out this time, as it will save me about $300 in Saturn imports I won't have to buy anymore.

[Cafeman]

I already have Darius Gaiden on Saturn and G Darius on Playstation. Are these coin-op / different versions? Better?

Does anybody know the answer to my earlier question?

[Xexyz]

So did anyone try to pre-order this at EB/GS? They must have some no pre-order policy for budget titles, because it wasn't on their pre-order list (I went there to pre-order Raiden III as well). Oh well, this is one of those titles that will be in plentiful abundance at major retailers like Circuit City and Best Buy for months to come.

I also need to pick up the Volume II Taito Memories Imports. They're worth it alone for the included TATE orientations.

[Mianrtcv]

Honestly, I own a goodly amount of compilations and the like... Sadly, I only enjoy about 15% of the games... Whether it is an issue of controller scheme, or other issue. Nothing beats the original... I'll still buy it of course.

[Dire 51]

Does anybody know the answer to my earlier question?

Most likely they're the original coin-op versions.
