It's beautiful, that's for sure, it's a shame I don't really like how it plays.

I love the later levels. Every time I want to talk about how good the game looks, I always want to post three specific part of the game, where you're fighting this giant, multiple-screen long bug with huge legs, the part where you fight the evil Astal guy, and the very end boss fight.

EDIT: Here's an example of later in the game

EDIT DOS: Oh, another really good example

I'm still trying to find the three parts I'm talking about...

It makes me want to play Rayman.

Is there a soundtrack out for Astal?

Edit: HOLY CRUD THAT'S THE VOICE OF WAFFLE!

Also, shake shake!

Panzer Dragoon and Panzer Dragoon Zwei have just been confirmed as coming to Gametap.

Also been confirmed that it is actual Saturn emulation.

Hawt. I've never been able to play those, before.

Wait, does that mean the Panzer Dragoon game I played by unlocking it in Orta was some kind of PC version and not Saturn emulation?

I still have a saturn with Knights, Sonic 3D Blast, and Virtua Cop.

I don't play it too much though, I wonder how much it would sell for.

Clearly.

I'll give you $75 for the lot. Probably not a good deal, but figured I'd offer.

This is so awesome about Panzer Dragoon coming to Gametap. I have a friend who owned a Saturn until his brother managed to kick it rather hard, and he loved the series. He shall be pleased! I will be pleased as well.

Now then....bring Nights oh mighty Gametap! Bring it!

Gametap's selection is becoming legitimately insane and awesome. I still need to get around to the last couple of Sam and Max episodes.

NiGHTS with the controller goes for like $50 on eBay.

Well, Nintendo never shared the microcode needed to squeeze more out of the N64 except with their closest friends (Factor 5 used it to improve dev libraries). It can't be emulated properly either, hence Mario "fading" instead of particulating.

What was their reasoning for that?

Yamiuchi being his usual asshole self?

You know how everyone here laughs about Ken Kutaragi? Yamiuchi was more of a dickhead than Kutaragi could even dream of being.

Wow, Bug! is pretty cool. It really takes me back to the beginning of the 3D era, where any 3D at all is impressive and new. The game itself seems pretty simplistic and I could almost see it as a flash game today. Makes me miss Daytona and Virtua Cop, my other Saturn games. If they get a good selection of Saturn games on Gametap, I will subscribe for sure.

I know. Hence my my protip that it's not a good deal.

No word on when the duo will shot up, but GameTap did confirm these are running on a bonafide Saturn emulator, and are not a dump of the Panzer Dragoon PC port that was released years ago.
