shadowofchaos Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Well the Kingdom Hearts HD collections added the final mix versions to their games(because the west never got the improved versions for some odd reason). Final Mix for that particular series was a tradition that started because of the English version getting Sephiroth as a Platinum Match and the other bosses... and Japanese fans throwing a fit. Consider it a longstanding "giant middle finger" to the west... at least until KH2 and BBS Final Mix comes out for the PS3. For those people that have played them (like me)... they bring nothing new to the table that constituted an HD remake besides... well... trophies and graphics. And let's admit this, the demand for HD remake for it wasn't because "they wanted to give Final Mix to the west".

bookofholsety Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 So did anyone ever mention the fact that an HD remake of the Tellius series might not even be worth it, if the optimizations are only *slightly* better than what Dolphin already offers? to be fair, being even slightly better-looking than what nintendo sees as nothing but EEVUL EEVUL PIRATES is probably all the motivation nintendo needs. wouldn't surprise me if that was what inspired the virtual console :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profit is what they would need. And given that PoR/RD didn't sell that great, there's no guarantee of profit-- ergo, they probably won't. I hate to be the one to label Nintendo as the evil moneygrabbing company, but all large corporations have to think of profit above all else (except hopefully morals but I don't think that applies to Nintendo), it's a fact.

Refa Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 So did anyone ever mention the fact that an HD remake of the Tellius series might not even be worth it, if the optimizations are only *slightly* better than what Dolphin already offers? Dolphin's emulation of FE9 is pretty mediocre. Forget HD graphics, it fails on several other categories. FE10 wouldn't be much of an improvement though.

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Dolphin's emulation of FE9 is pretty mediocre. Forget HD graphics, it fails on several other categories. FE10 wouldn't be much of an improvement though. What version did you use? I was able to play through FE9 on Dolphin with little to no problems. Haven't played FE10 on Dolphin yet though.

Robert Stewart Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I haven't tried FE9 on Dolphin. Fe10 mostly works, but it tends to get a bit laggy. Maybe if I wasn't stuck with the OpenGL backend it might be faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alertcircuit Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Considering both go for obscene amounts of money ($70+ each), I'd be ecstatic to see Nintendo rerelease them. Heck I don't even need them to be HD, just toss them on the Virtual Console for $20 each or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
