rarity alert: "Rival Schools "can't be re-released" capcom says

[kupomogli]

Has anyone played the aforementioned sequel, Project Justice, and is it worth picking up at it's ridiculous aftermarket price tag?

I don't know the price of Project Justice right now, but the game is definitely worth picking up. Basically take the same game, up the graphics, and add more characters for each school. Wild Daigo and Zaki are two characters I really like that are only on Project Justice, but pretty much every other character on the original Rival Schools is on there as well(except the custom characters I think.)

It's been an extremely long time since I've played the game because I didn't own it, my friend did. I only own the PSX Rival Schools.

Evil Zone

I liked. It gets old fairly quickly but it's really fun playing multiplayer. Good came considering it's a one button fighter.

Project Justice was fun, but I don't think it's worth the $60+ it's going for now. This thread made me check through my old paypal transactions to see if I sold my copy before (when it was worth less....) but I couldn't find it. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be in storage at my parent's house

MvC2 has a very prolific and enthusiastic community that has no less than six different ways to play the game: there's no community for Rival Schools (despite it's radness!) Besides, MvC2 had a very low print run to justify it's resale value. RSUBF is much easier to find.

MVC2 had nowhere near a very low print run, at least by what I've seen. There's been a steady supply at most of the Gamestops here. I did some "phone call searching" and found around 30 copies within 100 miles alone. For the record, I have only seen RS a little more than three times. MVC2 was nearly common back when it came out, and still is to an extent.

Or, they could just make an all new game. Seeing a sequel would be a lot cooler than an "enchanced" remake. All that time and money would be better spent on something new anyway.

It's likely the soundtrack that's the issue.... that's my guess anyway.

Yeah that would make it the same thing as Earthbound.

[kedawa]

The soundtrack could be swapped out with only a couple hours of work, though.
All they would need to do is decide what to replace it with. Maybe they could use the BGM from Project Justice.

...or did he? Bikini Samurai Squad level of NSFW there.

Yeah... Sorry if I exposed more people to the existence of Battle Raper. I'm honestly shocked it isn't some kind of meme by now.

Yeah. Evil Zone is pretty great, and so is the sequel.

Capcom lost the Marvel license very soon after releasing MvC2, so there were never enough copies to satisfy demand. I've seen a few copies at stores around town, but the asking price hasn't diminished much (here in MI, at least).

The value of PSX Persona hasn't dropped much since the re-release on PSP, Final Fantasy VII still goes for quite a bit despite the PSN release: I'm just saying that availability as a download doesn't always affect the value of the physical disc.

Depends which version you're talking about.

I wasn't saying rereleasing Project Justice. G-Boobie was asking if it was better than Rival Schools and worth the amount it's going for on Ebay. I just said that Project Justice was Rival Schools with more characters and better graphics.

However, if it did get a PS360 release regardless of being a port or entirely new game, yet had online. I'd definitely pick it up.

The PS2 version. I never actually knew it had a small production run until a couple of years ago. Seeing so many copies around led me to believe it was never short printed.

Ah, I see. Jumped to the chase a bit too fast there. Anyway, I agree.

The impression that I get is that the Xbox version had a smaller print run.

Both versions had SMALL print runs (not sure which was less). The Xbox version plays much better hence why it was desired more. It used to be the PS2 version went for more $, but that may be due to the PS2 having a much bigger installed base.
