DS #DSi 0158: SolatoRobo: Red the Hunter (Europe)

[Sora de Eclaune]

Is it odd if I swear I've played this game years ago? Because I vividly remember playing a game a few years ago that involved furries, running around in a robot suit, and throwing being the only way of attacking.

Edit) It wasn't Tail Concerto, because I've never played a PS1 game until last year.

The furry thing ain't really that bad.... (massive spoiler ahead, do not read if you have the different intro)

Spoiler

There are actually humans in the game, in fact Red turns into a furry/human hybrid. You can see his form on the cover

Maybe you just played the original Japanese release from over a year ago?

YYEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!11
Now I only have to steal my DS back from my brother

 

[kosheh]

can someone tell me just how much furry stuff there is in this game?

i absolutely despise this furry subculture that started up and i would like to know what kind of furry stuff is in this game. no disrespect if you are a furry, it's just really weird you must admit.

thank you.

Whoa! Are you saying you never watched cartoons with anthropomorphized animals when you were a kid?

It could be that he's still a kid. That's why he thinks anthropomorphic animals culture just happened recently.
I don't recall seeing many shows with anthropomorphic animals in the last decade as much as I do in the 80s.
Kids these days grow up watching shows like Powerpuff Girls, Yu-Gi-Oh, Ed, Edd n Eddy... which anthropomorphic animals are rarely focused/presented.

whoa whoa whoa i can't believe this kind of thing is actually grounds for people not playing a videogame
at first I TOO was put off seeing a city of animal people in the opening sequence and i was all "welp, gonna be a furry game dont know if i can put up with being a dog. can't wait for this to be portable banjo-kazooie"

but then, my stubbornness took a backseat when I found out I was a robot pilot that judos things dead and combos by slamming enemies into the ground.
but, in general if people are reading this and are all EWW FURRIES the impact their dogtails have on the plot is as significant as like, starfox's - it's just a way to hide a bland character's true blandness (Star Fox characters, including Fox himself have the most boring character personalities ever that have been done 20 million times, but each character has such unique character design that this is usually overlooked by its fans...actually hell, who plays Starfox for the furries? Just like who on earth plays Solatorobo so they can be a dogman bounty hunter?)

I kinda understand where you're coming from; it's not over the top cutesy disgusting flower sparkles unidentifiable catdog animal like Klonoa - the atmosphere is one of the things I CANNOT stand about Klonoa
but this game somehow makes "bright colors", "dog people" and "adventure gameplay" work
your partner in crime, "chocolat" is seriously just a girl with catears and a tail; so there's a varying spectrum of furry but it's not overwhelming "grrrrrr. im a golden retriever part dog part fox part hunter gimme a second to lick myself clean before i judo you to death with my robotic exosleketon which i control with my TAIL and when im done ill get out and lift my leg and dog pee over your dead body arf arf but i have to do that outside peeing in the house is unacceptable bow wow"
then i wouldn't play this game, either

from the half hour i've played so far i have to say I'm lovin' the hell out of this; if I manage to scrounge up enough money I'll try to import a copy of this ASAP - all the more attractive being I've never owned a Euro NDS game in my life with its
humongous clear box and all

EDIT: also wanna confirm, latest AKAIO (1.8.7?) that with AAP on this game works perfectly. Finding items, picking them up, saving works fine, everything works great so far....though honestly if you live in Europe you should feel terrible for pirating a game this great; it's awesome so far

*Sigh* can we stop this furry crap? YES. THIS GAME HAS ANTHROPOMORPHIC PEOPLE. DEAL WITH IT.

It's NOT porn... it's a kid's game. Please, people... Grown up.

^This
Seriously leave this alone already. We are here to talk about the game, not about the fact that there are anthropomorphic animal.
On topic: After playing this game till about 2 in the morning. I have to say, it reminds me a bit of Dark Cloud 2 mixed with a few other game elements. It's rather fun and give a shot could draw you in.

Hahaha, it's like DARK CLOUD 2? I HAVE to try playing it now. I LOVED the Dark Cloud games!

I have not gotten the chance to play this yet, I am looking forward to actually trying it.

Wait, just to make sure that I am not mixing it up with another game, Dark Cloud 2 there was a character that used a mech to get around and fight with. Right?
I know the game had Dark in the the title, but it's been forever since I played it.

Still wondering around the town in the mech and the quest system greatly reminds me of that game.

Yeah, DC2 had giant robots.

The thing I liked most about the game was the fact I could create the placement of village stuff and things.

That's about the only thing not in this game (as far as I can tell) which is why it only reminded me of that game instead of just being a clone of that game.

I am going to a trip to the Dominican Republic tomorrow, so this will be a true treat!

Not likely, as I was holding off from even seeing videos of the game, let alone play the Japanese version, before I played an English release.

Besides, I said 'a few years ago'. This game didn't exist a few years ago.

 

[Nimbus]

Can't confirm this since I haven't recieves my copy yet and as a result I havented ripped it onto my dstwo. But from what one of my friends has told me the save files between the Japanese and European version are interchangeable. I know most of the quests are available on the Japanese version.

In theory you could download them in the Japanese version and transplant the save. Someone test this for me.

Also did anyone think the cat that's with you early on was a girl? The game refers to it as a him.

 

[digipokemaster]

How ironic. How utterly ironic!

My copy just shipped from Europe as of less than 10-15 minutes ago, and now this gets an early scene release.

Nonetheless Nimbus is happy.

I hope they didn't ruin the music by excluding the vocals from the intro, that's what made the intro so great.

Oh and the voice acting better either be

A) Same as the Japanese
B) Not some crappy half-baked attempt

Finally though, once I get my hands on my physical copy, I'll finally be able to play the Successor to Tail Concerto....I loved Tail Concerto...and I was such a fool for selling my copy along with my PSX....God just mentioning it myself makes me feel dumb.

Furries+Mechs=Awesome!

i do agree with all that you just said

 

[Kanenden]

As far as I went (only finished the prologue), they weren't "Sim-styled nonsense", but french words.

You've already recognized "Salut", but there's also "Sapristi", and I don't remember what Chocolat said... shame on me.
All these words were pronounced with japanese accent. Slight, but noticeable when you're used to it.

Well despite taking some 6 years of French in Canada, I don't remember much of it. I thought the 'French'-ness was more of a fluke. I'd be curious if a lot of the game was done in French. Maybe they threw in some French swear words under the radar?

BTW what does "Sparisti" mean? I do recall they said that a lot in the game.

How to translate "Sapristi"... maybe with "by Jove" ?
It's ancient cursing, but still quite polite, like "Sacrebleu".
Up until now, I didn't hear any swear words, but maybe my fellow ones have better ears than mine.

I know right? I still can't believe it's an issue for most people.
