Breath of Fire sets light to Euro VC

Galaga rules! :D

Man, for once Europe is getting a sweeter deal than we are. We've got ActRaiser and Shining Force on the RPG front. So far only Sega's really putting them out here in the US. Where's all the awesome Super NES RPGS? Where's Breath of Fire? Where's Super Mario RPG? Where's Mana 3? Harvest Moon? Dragon Quest V-VI?

"I already have Breath of Fire II on my GBA, so try to find it on there if you live in the US like me. It's not that bad a game, but III is sooo much better. Too bad Sony has it in its claws . . ." That doesn't mean anything, Symphony of the night got released on the 360....

I already have Breath of Fire II on my GBA, so try to find it on there if you live in the US like me. It's not that bad a game, but III is sooo much better. Too bad Sony has it in its claws . . .

when i get some Wii points im gonna try out breath of fire II since everybody is saying its good.

Eh I would want the first one over the second

Your avatar is awesome

"How come the Europeans get all the cool games? I love the Breath of Fire series so much." I'd trade in all these "good" games for Chrono Trigger. It's such a shame it was never released here. Please Square, Nintendo. Release Chrono Trigger on the VC!

Breath of Fire 2 is an amazing RPG. I would recommend it to anyone. Don't listen to the people bad mouthing it. They don't know what they are talking about.

Hopefully it comes to the US soon.

Too bad Breath of Fire only started to get REALLY good on Sony systems... III and IV were amazing, and really made you feel the "AARGH!! I'm a Dragon-man!" vibe. Never played V, unfortunately.

Don't the first 2 Breath of Fire games have rather bad English translations?

Breath of Fire III was the best. Too bad it never hit a Nintendo console.

"considering the recent firmware update allowed USB keyboard usage in most channels EXCEPT the internet channel" it does?...that's good to know. too bad it doesn't work in the only channel i really wanted to use a keyboard for.. XD time to get a usb keyboard

so...yeah, breath of fire isn't the best series but it's more for nostalgic purposes for me.. it's still a good game though. when the heck are they gonna have it on the US virtual console? i'm guessing monday...hopefully...since the uk just got it.

BOF 2 was pretty fun back in the day i dout i would spend the money to get it on my Wii when i already own it lol

The Breath of Fire series never really sucked me in. I remember playing the first and second ones. The first one was ok, but the script in BoF2 was translated and localized very poorly. It's nearly Zero Wing quality at some points. To each their own. As for Galaga '90... between the Wii's VC and XBLA it seems like we're going to get every single version of every classic arcade game before we get some of the more unique console games.

Breath of Fire II is a tough game...I enjoyed it back in the day, but I don't really think I'd like to relive the frustration that the game gave me. Plus, I'd really hope that the translation is better now that the orginal one was.

xBlitzerx: SD cards can't be used in the way you're hoping... yet. Supposedly Shigeru Miyamoto said, in an interview a few months back, that they're looking into options for expanding the Wii's memory. The way it was stated suggests the possibility of either an update to allow SD/HDD usage (the latter IS a possibility through USB, considering the recent firmware update allowed USB keyboard usage in most channels EXCEPT the internet channel), or perhaps a peripheral provided by Nintendo or 3rd parties. Given the fact that they even included SD card compatibility to begin with, and Nintendo's recent disposition for making things user-friendly (ideally speaking), I'm betting there'll be a healthy dose of both.

Breath of Fire II was quite an ok game.

Can you not save games to the SD memory card? I bought a 2GB in hopes that it could be like a HDD.

I hope they put Nintendo world cup on there soon. I loved that game : D

Just curious, but oh well... maybe one day. ------------------------- Probably because Nintendo (if they decide what gets released each week) doesn't want to flood the service with more games than they think are necessary each week. BoF2 is a great game but might be overshadowed if, say, the original Smash Bros. came out in the same week. In this sense it actually benefits the publisher too that their game only has to compete with two others in the initial week's offering. I'd suggest that Europe is seeing BoF2 first because the series has had more success there than in NA (hence the PSP port being released there but not in NA). That's just a bunch of guesstimates though....

Hope this comes to the North American VC. For some strange reason they didn't release BoF3 for the PSP here, yet did in Europe.

sweet mother of jesus Super Metroid on the 20th? thank you SaxxyGamer18 :)

My internal ram is nearly full of quality VC games that i use. Im really hoping they release some sort of upgrade to allow more storage, instead of me facing having to nuke a lesser played title.

How come the Europeans get all the cool games? :P I love the Breath of Fire series so much.

BTW, Metroid (NES) is coming the 13th and Super Metroid (SNES) is coming the 20th. That's US. I don't know about UK.

@ Kenerhai youll have to hope that sony puts them up on PSN then, since BoF III and BoF IV are both PSone games. Or you could be lucky enough like me and own the originals

uuuummmmmmm shouldn't this be on the UK gamespot???

One of the reasons that the SNES is the best system ever ;) is due in part to its great RPG's. BoF2 deserves to be one of those great RPG's to mention.

Awesome, BoFII ! Now bring this over here quick please!

Good news for Eurpoean gamers.

Ahh Breath of Fire II. Played that through multiple times back in the day. Great game. Loved the fusion techniques you could do with the characters. Hope it comes stateside again.

Good to see a new RPG on the VC, now it needs to come state side

I want Breath of Fire 3 and 4.

Yeah, I played Breath of Fire II on the SNES a while back and when I saw it for GBA about 2 years ago for £10, I couldn't miss it. Hope it's a good port to the Wii.

Breath of Fire II was pretty cool back in the day.

i want breath of fire in US RIGHT NOW !

If i didn't have this on the SNES and the GBA version i would consider getting it but since i have it both those formats i'll have to pass when it comes out in the US but it is definately a fun great game i loved the BoF series that is until they made the PS2 (Dragon Quarter) one which i hated. Wish they would make a new one but do it with the old style rather than the new.

Breath of Fire 1 is frankly a pretty dull game. It's as bland as a jRPG can get. There's really nothing special about it, so there's not much loss in not having it available. BoF II though is much better. It still may be a little on the generic side, but it has a really good story and there's enough little cool customization features for the characters that makes it worth the download.

What about the 1st BoF game? Pretty unusual they would release a sequel before the original title. I'd like to try this one but sometime later since I'm still in the middle of Paper Mario. The US probably won't get it for another month or so anyway.

nice

Woot! First comment. BoFII was a great game. I like how the series was different stories in the same "world" per se and forces that be always had a Ryu and a Nina. Very Zelda-esque
