EU Wii Virtual Console: 04/18/08: Phantasy Star III... And Just Phantasy Star III

Akira_EX | April 18, 2008 | News | Wii 
Europe, even after getting four games last week, returns to the norm, getting only a single game today as its Virtual Console update.

That game? Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom for the Sega Mega Drive. Compared to Phantasy Star II, it is regarded as not as great, and one of the weaker, if not weakest, of the four original Phantasy Star games. However, it is still a RPG, which the Virtual Console is sorely lacking.


Recap:
  • SMD: Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom, 1 Player, 800 Points

  • After the 4-game blowout last week, some Europeans wondered if Nintendo of Europe had somehow completely turned around and would start to throw out multiple games every week from now on. This dream has been quickly shattered, because it's just one game again this week.

    Apparently not considering the two Master System games last week as a true "Sega Week", Sega has now released a new Mega Drive game. Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom is the sequel to Phantasy Star II, also available on VC, but unfortunately for those of you who liked the second game, it's not quite as good. The game just feels rather bland compared to it's famous predecessor, which disappointed fans many years ago and no doubt will do so again this time.

    If you're a die-hard Phantasy Star fan you might find the game worth picking up, otherwise you'll most likely find it to be rather mediocre. On the plus side though, it's another RPG - The VC certainly needs every one it can get!
