Came here to post this.

It is the fully realized vision of Red Company's producer which took practically the span of the PC-Engine's lifetime to complete. For the added measure, it nearly maxes out the capabilities of the console to impress.

SAPHIRE IS ON THE PSP?? When did this happen and what is this box set called?

>>7048270
It is. It was released in 2008 called the PC Engine Best Collection: Galaxy Fraulein Collection.

Mike Matei loves to brag about owning this

Sapphire is overrated as fuck graphically. Most of the stages don't even have parallax

>>7047870
everything

>>7048302
I wish i had a psp now lol. saphire on the go would be awesome.

>>7049331
I remember it having well faked parallax. Most the effects like the scaling and polygons are just faked via sprites. I guess I have a standard opinion on it as I think it looks amazing on the PC-Engine. While I was not a fan of prerendered graphics, Sapphire utilizes it sparingly enough to not be intrusive and keeps the wow factor for me.

>>7050879
Or you can just emulate the PC-Engine on the PSP and play Sapphire that way.

>>7048467
Who?

>>7051315
None official PCE emulation is really fucky.

>>7047870
>>7048302
>>7051315
are these translated?

>>7052361
Saphire? No, sadly. But a none japanese speaker can easily beat the game. The others? I'm not sure. I haven't played those games yet, excerpt for Soldier Blade And Star Parodgier, which can easily be beaten with knowing japanese also.

>>7052558
goddamn it
is there a chance someone could do it even by commission?

>>7051320
Just search mike matei sapphire on youtube

>>7052794
>Just search faggot redditei on zoomtube
no thanks

>>7052896
Rude.

>>7052361
no but you don't need a translation for STGs

That the west was spared from this shite!

>>7047870
Hi Mike

>>7054146
You clown

>>7049331
You're aware that the PC Engine has no hardware support for parallax, of course? And when all the power of the console is being used to scale sprites (which the console ALSO does not support), it isn't surprising they aren't there.

>>7054151
He owns the game you know.

damn, it's a shmuck... i thought it was a good game for a second

>>7054432
And? So do I. There was a time, long ago, when it didn't cost a kidney to own one.

>>7055480
Well... mike matei owns a copy of it.

>>7055531
Yeah...and???

>>7055556
He owns a copy of this game.

>>7055557
Alright, that's it
*shits in your mailbox*

Finally got it running on Ootake.
...What the fuck, I thought Touhou was difficult.

>>7055806
>emulation
>thinking saphire is hard
you need to go back.

>>7055806
>I thought Touhou was difficult
2poo is one of the easiest shooters

>>7055806
ToeHoe is overrated trash. Also: ZUN should learn to fucking draw.

>>7055839
What year did this game come out? That background looks very inspired by Earthbound.

>7055839
kill yourself.

>>7055839
mike owns a copy?

>>7055842
>ZUN should learn to fucking draw
if only the artstyle was the only problem in 2poo, unfortunately everything about those turds is bad

>>7055845
That's a reach

>>7055865
I know there's a lot of games with isometric views, but really, seeing that screenshot alone at least, it instantly reminded me of Fourside/Moonside. I don't think it's a stretch to notice the similarities. Maybe sapphire was released before Mother 2, I dunno.

>>7055845
NONSENSE

>>7055887
Sapphire came out in 1995, one year after Mother 2.

>>7055887
Take your meds.

>>7055892
>>7055896
Can't see it? the buildings and the way they have these square corners... okay okay, maybe the mere mention of a popular game like Earthbound here is too much, sorry about that.

>>7055904
Not everything in gaming revolves around Autismbound

>>7055945
Bingo, I knew you had some personal hateboner against the game.
I'm not even a big fan of EB or RPGs in general, just noticed a similarity in graphic design, is all.

>>7055945
It doesn’t sound like that’s what he was saying though. He’s just pointing out the similarities in graphical style

>>7048302
can't you just make a normal comment without the dipshit papers?

>>7055952
Fuck off you schizo

>>7055839
based mike

>>7055887
Reminds me more of Imperium:

Although both the Saphire screenshot and Mother2 use that isometric oblique military projection view that few games use.

>>7047876

It's a 'fast-ass bullets and limited bombs' shmup so it is kinda difficult. Gave it a quick go earlier on emu and actually made it a fair few levels in on one credit which I've never really done before. Pigtails's blue weapon is pretty OP, likely other chars have one particularly useful weapon.
