Gaming Forgotten Worlds DS Remake?

[kitetsu]

Good times. I used to play the genesis port a lot when i was younger. Just recently i played the original Arcade game, and suffice to say i got grilled about twice or thrice every credit, mostly due to the fact that it's like the genesis port, only 10 times harder, and auto-fire was nowhere to be found.

Then i watched a video of a chinese dude play the whole game with only 1 credit, and the thing that got me with the vid is that his character instantaneously turns into different angles, which i've been told is because he was playing the "PS2 version". Okay... I never knew about that. But anyway...

I've given this game a lot of (random) thought, and after my rather enjoyable experience with Geometry Wars: Galaxies, it kinda hit me. "Forgotten Worlds for the DS wouldn't be such a bad idea..."

Whether an official Capcom release or a homebrew project, i can't care about it more than the potential fun factor the end result may be, and since the DS is a lot more capable in overall performance than i first expected, i can't see why i shouldn't play FWS other than some lame circumstantial excuse.

*shrug*

Oh well. Back to drawing and gaming.

Have you tried playing the Genesis version in jEnesisDS? It works excellently with most games I've tried.

why can this man in the game fly without a jetpack ? xD

Nah, joke asid, I enjoyed both nanostrays and about every other shooter I played (tip: takatis pc).

so, why not ?

I want to see a Capcom Arcade Classics for the DS. I played em on the PSP, and i love the Konami Arcade Collection for the DS. Common Capcom! Make me proud!

(and by proud i mean, excited, and by excited, i mean hard. Capcom, i want you to make me hard.)

I could, but as much as i hate to admit it, i'm too put off to play most genesis games on both jEnesisDS and PicoDrive, one of the reasons being that, apart from the former not being able to scale the screen, genesis emulation in general is still as WIP as SNES emulation.

Nevertheless i'll try playing it when i get over the problem.

For the arcade version (which is the only way to play imho) you hold down the dial to autofire, no? A DS version would be brilliant because you could control your gun fire with the stylus. Great idea, but I don't think this game is that popular (although I love it).

The Mega Drive Version of Forgoten Worlds is missing some stages out of the arcade version and if you like Forgoten Worlds see if you can play Omega 5 on the Xbox 360 its a 800 points ($10) Live Arcade Title it plays just like Forgoten Worlds minus the abilty to buy weapons from shops.

Ah boy this is one of my absolute fav shoot em ups!!

I wouldnt mind a remake of even the genesis one as its the one I know and love.

I have tried Jenesis, but the cropped image is serious drawback as kitetsu has mentioned.

Exactly why i mentioned the possibility of homebrew, in case capcom is all "meh, why bother?".
