And now I'm sitting here wondering...was *that* the origin of all this? Just some guy shitting out an idea on reddit?
Wouldn't surprise me at all. I guess it seems feasible because Nintendo's perplexingly rereleased almost everything worthwhile on the Wii U, but still not Super Mario 3D World.
Plus, we're on the Switch's 4th year, and no Nintendo console since the SNES has ever had a good 4th year. Ah yes, all the great hits that were released for the N64 in 2000, the Gamecube in 2005, the Wii in 2010, and the Wii U in 2016.
I'm getting the Saga collection but when it's available in Physical format.
Man, I might pick that up on fuckin' clearance, but I just can't encourage S-E to slap three Game Boy roms on a cartridge and call it a day. Those games are so simple, they're comfortable to play on a cellphone emulator. Like with the touchscreen controls.
SaGa 2 is a semi-beloved game of mine, too. I really liked its slapdash mixture of high tech and fantasy, what with the game taking place in a high fantasy anime world, but robots and guns exist, and your lead character can optionally be a robot packing a Colt revolver that happens to have a human mom and dad and it just doesn't explain shit. And the wildly customizable parties you can use can bring forth some crazy challenges, what with the hefty limitations of robots and monsters.
Like I don't know why they never expanded on the SaGa universe in a better way. I've only ever heard bad things about Unlimited SaGa, and Frontier 1 & 2 seem to be extremely love-it-or-hate-it games. They sound like such great ideas for games put forth by a team with no idea how to execute them well.
