Announcements! Gotta love 'em. Here's one for the ages.
Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and its sequel Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara, the classic arcade beat-'em-up adaptations of Wizards of the Coast's pen-and-paper RPG are BACK, remastered and refined for the modern age. These games are returning with updated HD graphics and a wealth of other enhancements as a definitive double pack, titled Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. The double-pack is set for a June digital release on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and Windows PC, developed for Capcom by Iron Galaxy and priced at $14.99/€14.99/£11.99/1200MSP. Hit the jump for more info, screenshots, and of course, that sweet sweet annoucement trailer.
Just as in the arcades, up to four players will select their character class before doing battle against the mythical beasts from the Dungeons & Dragons’ universe with a mix of melee, ranged and magic attacks. But now, thanks to GGPO, there’s no need to stand in line for hours at the smoke-filled arcade, since Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara offers seamless drop-in/drop-out online gameplay. In addition to the classic arcade mode famous for its branching paths and multiple endings, players can utilize the all new "House Rules" feature and customize gameplay for a completely different experience.
But wait--there's more. The Character Visualizer lets players track which characters they and their friends use most often and can help create a more balanced multiplayer dungeon party, or point out which characters are most under-used; with further gameplay stats tracked via a global leaderboard. Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara also includes a Challenge system that sets players in-game goals in return for level-ups and coins which can be spent in the Vault: a treasure trove of unlockables and gameplay loot. Finally, owners of the Wii U version will be able to use the GamePad touch screen to select spells and items with ease, allowing for a more streamlined gameplay experience.

Iron Galaxy is porting the game so you know it'll be good.

Aside from house rules, there is this:

This is almost enough reason to get a Wii U.
I just might.
But I will most definitely get it on PS3.
Playing a late game elf/Mage was kinda difficult when you had to go through several different ring menus to find the right spell while getting attacked.
Now I get why it Capcom's forums are named Unity. There was a stream of the game today: http://www.twitch.tv/capcomunity/b/381757284

More like Dragon's Crown might be a poor bouncy substitute for this greatness.
Is Dragon's Crown going to be available in the PS3?

What did they do now?
I've only played Odin's Sphere and Muramasa, mind, but those were stellar.
...but I do not really hold out hope for most of the ideas that the creator imagined, actually being implemented into the gameplay.
I imagine the final product shall be a better, more classical beat 'em up e.g. Revenge of Death Adder version of the Capcom D&D arcade games
With boobs.
Lots of boobs.
No, no, no.

The bust of both measures.

DC's development:
1. Sidescroller beat-em-up with busty ladies.
2. Delay the release for some months.
3. ????????
4. Profit.

For example(Shadow over Mystara):
However, if you have the Cleric continually attempt to pick it up(he can't use swords, so it falls back to the ground), eventually it will bless the sword and remove the curse, and becomes Holy Avenger. It turns the rogue(or any other sword user, though mostly the rogue) into the most overpowered thing in the history of ever.
Also, side tidbit: in the arcade version or SoM you could give the Thief the Magic User's hat at the start of the game and there was a bug that would cause it to grant her limited immortality. That was fun. Probably would be fixed for Chronicles though I'd wager.

If we somehow get Revenge of Death Adder (the 2nd best beat 'em up all time) then life is complete.
I actually do hope most of the bugs make it through intact. Or at least there should be an option to play with them on. They're some of the best parts of the game.
Also can't wait for all the rage from people who have their rafts piloted into the most horrible routes possible. There's got to be an achievement for instakilling every boss with lbo spam.

I still think Revenge of Death Adder was the best, ever.
Then Turtles In Time.
Then... well, THIS, and AvP.
Elfin this up from Day 0.
Did she have infinite arrows in the 1st game, the 2nd, or both? If you fire them, like, 5 times in a row, the 6th time will launch 4 arrows rapid-fire. Seeing them slam repeatedly into a displacer beast face is a fond memory.
I wish I had a PS3 now.

Turtles in Time would be up there, except the SNES port is so much better than the arcade version that I can't count it anymore.
Elf and Thief both have infinite projectiles (arrows and rocks) in Mystara. While it's true that every 3rd use of the projectile would fire 4 in a row instead of 1, the trick was not to wait for that, but to keep opening the item selection circle because the first use of the projectile would also fire 4 instead of 1.

That's a good idea. You'd asphyxiate before that happened.
Alright, I'm gonna beat this thing...
