Rygar . . . Wii's possible biggest sleeper hit ?

From the looks of the video this game looks awesome . . . I know its too early to be hype this one but this game has some interesting factors in it including the main weapon ( a la Simon Belmontswhip ) . . .Your thoughts ?

I wouldn't hype a PS2 port with Wii controls..Litchie

I would call it a remake instead of a port.

I'll do that too, when I see graphics the PS2 couldn't do. :P

Actually, it's not a port. A port means the developer adapts existing code of an existing game to work on another system. Wheras a remake means the original code is 1(reworked to look and/or act differently, or 2)tossed out entirely.
This game is a complete remake with the original code being mostly thrown out.
Look at screenshots of the original (titled rygar:the legendary adventure) and compare them to this video, it's obviously not a port. And even if it is still on par with current ps2 graphics, it is far beyond that of the rygar:the legendary adventure for the ps2.
in short, its a new game or a complete remake from scratch. Not a port.StigmatTickles

The maker of the game says that it's a port with the same level design, physics engine, animations and graphic data.

"1UP: So basically, by using the PS2 Rygar as the core, it frees you up to concentrate on perfecting the Wii controls, since the level design is already there, the animations and physics are already in place, and the majority of the graphic data is already complete.

KK: Yeah, the basic stage design might be the same, but first of all the last game was developed by another person, so I had nothing to do with it, but the previous version was known as an insect-killing game because of those rolling bugs, so you'd kill many small enemies, which all looked like rollers -- because they were -- which was criticized, of course. This time I've created bigger enemies that are human-based. Before you'd slash through many, but this time I want to focus on each impact, the soothing feeling of a big attack. "

Also probly why it's $40

It's a port that has a bump in Graphics, replaced enemies, hgihly focused Wii mote controls and a new Wii-mote focused over the should mode.

BWii will be the biggest sleeper hit.Duckman5

Cool! You can see the future?

Artwork, design, models, gameplay, camera all changed (for the better, I hope), I don't need anymore to call it a remake. :|

i hope that zack & wiki is the sleeper hitsoulsdeparting

I will never listen to someone who's sig is:

--------Gears of War has jumpy controls in split screen and ugly graphics in general.

Its funny how some people have a problem with this game, but yeat bought RE4 wii.I sense Hypocrites. The ones excluded form this list are people who never bought or beaten RE4 on GCor PS2. I have no problem with this game since I never beaten or own the game. So we get a different hero, most likely the graphics will be better,new enimes,new controls and hopefully new bosses (but i wouldint know the dif since I never played the PS2 one). I know they do use the same leve design, but whos to say they wont bumped up the visual of the level. remeber the guy said it might come this year, but it could be pused back to 08.finalfantasy94

The game is cool and all but we all would have rather had an original Rygar game. Also alot of people did not liek the fact that RE4 wa being remade rather than having RE5. HOWEVER RE4 seems almost specifically designed for the Wiimote/Nunchuk. So the complaints are less because RE4 on the Wii is so nice to play. Yo can really apreciate the improvements, at the same time RE5 would have been better.

I hope that is some clarification.

I have never played the original Rygar for PS2. I did however remember playing the NES version back in the day and it was pretty sweet. But yeah I can kinda see the hypocracy when people go out and buy RE4 then totally discount this game( but I guess its hard to ignore RE4 on the Wii since its a triple AAA title no matter where you put it ). But I think that with the right developement and tight controls that this game just might suprise us. Im no psychic but hey Im optomestic. Its good to see some third party support for us non casual gamers. And who knows if this game sells then well get a chance to get an original IP for this franchise maybe a Wii exclusive sequel.

I think there might be a bit of a difference between RE4 and Rygar. Seeing as RE4 was one of the best games last gen, and Rygar was forgettable.

I'm not saying anything bad about the idea of a port. I don't care. If they do a good job, that's all that matters. That's why these people liked RE4 Wii Edition.

I think a lot of people are just sick of bad ports, not ports in general.

My opnion about the game? I don't know, it looks like it's nothing new. Though I didn't know that there were asian people in rome during roman times, so I guess I learned something new.
