Clock Tower saga is uncovered so far.
ReplyDeleteI can write part of a Mystery Dungeon/Shiren article, but I don't speak or read much Japanese and the games are so language dependent that I can only really cover the ones with language patches. I've already written extensively on the original Torneko and Shiren 1 SNES and DS. Should I go ahead and contribute what I'm able?
ReplyDelete@John
ReplyDeleteI'd really need all games covered for those...there might be some FAQs for some of them, though.
@Jean
Clock Tower is in the works!
Will you take one-shots? I would love to write an article about Tin Star.
ReplyDeletepersonally i wanna see an article on teasure of the rudras
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see articles on the Bubble Bobble and GigaWing series.
ReplyDeleteOK, when you say Secret Of Mana, do you mean that one game or the whole Mana franchise? Because I could do that one game, but you'll need to look elsewhere for the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say in advance, good luck on finding a writer for Sakura Wars, and I seriously mean that. I'd like to know about the other games.
ReplyDeletePS Can I do an article for The World Ends With You? Probably not for any money, but I don't care one way or the other, really. I could also probably make some comparisons to Kingdom Hearts Chain Of Memories.
Ace Combat and Riiiiiiidge Raaaaaccccceeeerr! I'd LOVE to help write and provide all info necessary, especially for AC3, for wnich I nave a blog, be sure to check it out!
ReplyDelete@Refa: Mana would need the whole franchise covered.
ReplyDeleteHey, how about Tomba! (and Tomba! 2) for the ps1 ?
ReplyDeleteI always thought as sort of under apreciated.
I did some research on Whoope Camp but couldn't find much...
I am huge fan of Deathsmiles. Would you like an article on the series?
ReplyDeleteI recently picked up a Russian copy of Sakura Wars I and II so If there isn't a more competent write who knows Japanese I'll work on it. There weren't any releases of III or IV in any language I know though... Perhaps if someone has those I'd be happy to cooperate.
ReplyDelete@ZagZagovich
ReplyDeleteIt was translated into Russian?!? I'm guessing it's the PC version? I would really need a single person to cover the whole series, but that's interesting to know!
@Lee
If you can cover both Deathsmiles and get screens from them I would be down with that, just let me know.
@V. Lino
One of the editors here expressed in interest in covering Tomba so that may be forthcoming.
I know it's Nintendo's third biggest franchise, and covered everywhere on the net, but I would love to see HG101's take on a Metroid compliation. I might just be able to swing it, too, if I wasn't piled with so much work crap right now (I write for a living too...just don't spell for a living :P). - Ill
ReplyDeletejust a quick note that sin & punishment should be moved to series instead of individual games, since both games are covered now
ReplyDeleteGrowlanser ( since Langrisser has been made ) would be nice.
ReplyDeleteHow much time can we spend on the articles? I could write something on the Lufia series, but might need a longer time frame.
ReplyDelete@DragonSpikeXIII:
ReplyDeleteA Ridge Racer article might be quite interesting. Back in the days of the PS1, RR was a major franchise, but in the last 10 years, it has fallen out of favour with the general gaming public.
The article would have tobe massive, though. Seven numbered installments on the home systems, plus games on N64, DS, PSP, iPhone...not to mention the arcade-only Ridge Racer 2, the related Rave Racer (never ported, but the tracks were used in some of the recent games), and possibly even R: Racing Evolution.
i was coming here with the same proposal as johnh... are you the guys who write for gamesetwatch? if you are i'm that jerks that was ultra precise about the DS change's from the original
ReplyDeletekurt - kinda unrelated to this blog post but i tought you might be interessed for your adventure article...
did you know that one of chunsoft VN got recently translated? it's called 999,while not exactly old school i think it really would fit the site
also not to throw a wrench on the idea but shiren 5 for the DS is going to get released in a while... maybe you should include that in the bounty description? or why you don't change the bounty to just dragon quest mysterious dungeon game? there are only 4 of them and 1 has an official release and another a fantranslation so it would be a lot easier to cover
I'm trying to get a copy of 999 for the site to cover, it sounds REALLY cool.
ReplyDeleteLufia is taken, going to revise and add to the bounty section when I get the chance shortly.
Anyway ideally I'd wanted all of the Mysterious Dungeon games covered at some point, but if anyone would be willing to concentrate on a specific series I'd be good with that too, since it's really, really broad.
@Discoalucard
ReplyDeleteGreat, i hope it comes out.
@Discoalucard
ReplyDeleteYes. A company called Akella a few years back translated Sakura Wars I and II. It's kind of a shoddy translation but it's completely playable. They are somewhat of a third rate publisher, doing seemingly everything they can but never spending too much time on anything more than bare minimum so there are a lot of grammatical mistakes and some things are close to being nonsense. I'd be happy to write about those two after I finish up on 999. Just got a copy of it and it's really good.
I have always been surprised that there has not been any Shining Force coverage around here.
ReplyDeleteehy kurt i kinda sucks at writing but i was thinking i might try to do the boktai bounty later on the road since i've played them all AND megaman battle network too if you are ok with that....
ReplyDelete@anon1
ReplyDeleteIf your blog comments are any indication, you may want to practice your writing skills a bit.
@anon2
Shining Force is a ridiculously huge series and I'm not sure where the real ones start and where they end. I've sorta wanted to have it covered but would need to break it into chunks (the first person dungeon crawlers, the SRPGs, the wankfests, the action-RPGs...am I missing any of them?) Plus Sega seems to slap "Shining" on any grand old thing these days.
Are you interested in some coverage of the Golden Sun games? Of course, I'd have to play the 3rd one, but I'm pretty knowledgable about the first 2.
ReplyDeleteKing's Field series with Eternal Ring, Shadow Tower & Demon's Souls maybe?
ReplyDeleteI mentioned it to Kurt a while back over on GAF, but an article on the Ogre series would be fantastic, and really fit in well with the site.
ReplyDeleteThere's one in the works, hopefully for when the Tactics Ogre PSP gets released in English.
ReplyDeleteI actually kinda hated the original version, but the PSP rebalances to the point where it's not only playable, but AMAZING.
