ActRaiser 2 where?

[Noobdown]

the game actraiser renaissance really quite good (yes the tower defensvie part, is not everyone's cup of tea, not mine either) but i would be mega happy....if we would get actraiser 2 or maybe even part 3?

There was a two but the gutted the city building stuff removing it from it.

[Noobdown]

Well i know, but they can add it or more stages in AR2, why not

Never say never but ActRaiser II was not nearly on the cult-classic level the first one had so it's less likely that it would get a remaster.

[Noobdown]

Yes, that's true (AR2 couldn't connect), but you would have the chance to do something with it now or in the near future...or somehow get the old parts on Steam

the game is visually actually one of the best lookin games on the SNES. It was a good game too but taking away the city portion of the game made it feel like another generic side scroller and not act raiser. But yeah prolly won't get a remaster and not really a big deal cuz they didn't do this one justice anyway, the original was better than this pile of trash they created.

Did you know the ActRaiser 2 we got wasn't what they originally wanted to make?
While I only found this from some place I forgot, it does make some sense.
In any case, if they where to remake it to have the town building back instead of just going to each place like a stage in a action game.

I'd love AR2, but only if they add city building. I wanted to so badly cover that huge map in cities. The levels were tough but the combat system was good.

yeah the head of nintendo north america basically said the city building aspect was above our heads and to make it action only. Or something close to that I cant remember the quote exactly other than they assumed the game that sold well wouldn't sell well if they did what we liked about it again. Because that just doesn't work in America. lol

I think Act Raiser 2 would fare better now with modern audiences since people these days are into harder action games that sorta play like a 2d Demon's Souls. If there's one thing that AR2 did do better was that the action platforming was fully developed & fairly complex when compared to the action platforming of the original.

I hated Act raiser 2 as a kid because I also missed that sim-like stuff but I can't even get into the original Act raiser 1 any more because the sim elements are so shallow. I actually think that the Act raiser 1 remake is an improvement because they finally turned into somewhat of a real strategy game. I'd have preferred a 4x strategy or Romance of the three kingdoms approach but Tower defense was the best approach they could've taken while still making the strategy portions action-based.

Actraiser 2 is still my all-time favorite 2D, sidescrolling platformer. I wish they would update part 2 as well.

id absolutely buy a remake of the sequel, especially if they add stuff to it. i think the lore of these games is mad cool n id love to try n find out more in a remake.
