Thunderforce V! Is this jp only?

[Himu]

It's on the Saturn, I know that, but will I have to import? I love Thunderforce 2 and 3 on Genesis and I'd like to play this.

Just look at this shit. It looks GODLY. Thunder Force what happened to you? Where is my new Thunder Force?

I found this completely mint at EB for $3

[Himu]

omg

I knew it was on playstation but I thought that version was jp only!

[Himu]

The Saturn version is jp only Gotta import!

If I ever catch any of you playing the PS1 version, I will personally come round and smash your head with a sledgehammer.

I sold it the following day for $20.

How come... WD "improved" it for their US version?

[Himu]

Oh God. ANother WD "improvement". I'm staying far far away.

I was gonna say I swear I played that on PSX. It was pretty good but for some reason I have a much harder time with side scrollering shooters versus vertical ones.

It's not hard to find, though.
I wish they'd release them for XBLA or something. Thunderforce IV is my personal favourite as it was the first I played (can't believe it even got released in the UK).

Yeah, we got it in the U.S. too under the name "Lightning Force."  Such an awesome game...I'd rather see that on XBLA than TFV. 

[Van Cruncheon]

correction, we got it as Lightening Force. SoA am not spell good.

[Himu]

So we got Thunderforce V ...as Lightening Force? Uh..okay. At least I don't have to import.

No, LightEning Force is Thunderforce IV.

Lightening Force is a really cool game but what I never understood about it is how come the first stage's boss is a total pain in the ass, but everything else is pretty easy?

First stage?  Which one...you can choose from four stages!

wd didn't screw up the us release, but the ps1 port is pretty bad -- it's missing lots of parallax layers and background details and effects, and some levels consequently look horrible.

[The Sceneman]

I havent actually played Lightening Force which is embarrasing as I listen to the soundtrack ALL THE TIME
