This looks really good, super high-effort remaster. They added some new postgame-type content too, it appears.
Had no idea this was even a thing in development, I'll definitely put it on the list and go through it eventually.

I remember playing Actraiser as a kid. I visited my cousins house and we rented it for 1 day because that is all the money we could pool. We stayed up all night to beat the game - he did the action level parts and then I did the town building parts

Also on mobiles. I mean don't see a point in buying a Switch just so it's on a "Nintendo product" when it's not really anything like the old SNES anyway, and you can use a SNES pad on PC if that's what you want. Obviously the Switch has other games that are worth buying just seems like a waste for just this one. I'm waiting for these new LCD ones to release and possibly lower the price of the standard Switch first though personally.

You are applying wayyyy too much logic here; throw that shit out. But I definitely would get it on PC before Mobile. It'd be more about fun memories sitting on the floor playing Actraiser on my SNES. Dial that logic back to non-existent impulse purchase driven by 100% memberberries.

New music is fantastic (You can toggle back to original music too). Graphics are great, they did an amazing job here. I recommend playing on Hard, Normal is pretty easy. The new RTS element where monster hordes attack the settlement they added to the city management game is a good addition, helps break up that part of the game. Can’t wait to see what else they added. About done with the first map. This is how you do a remake.
Playing on 85” in 4K with a 7.2 surround is fucking glorious.

I dont know what it was about this game when I was a kid, but I used to LOVE this game. I was telling my 11 year old the other day that I wish they would add the game to the snes thing on the switch. We literally had like a 20 minute conversation about the game.
I lay in bed this week with the switch and see the nintendo direct on the news feed. Pulled it up and I saw the freaking remake. I damn near shit the bed, I had no idea it was even a thing. Instant buy for me. At the second area now and yeah the new little tower defense quests are a nice addition along with the "hero" units. Soundtrack is also a fantastic upgrade. Been humming that damn fillmore soundtrack for 3 days now.

Those are still very playable with their pixels graphics. I would not turn either down though. I spent a lot of time on Ogre Battle as a kid. Still have both games.

There's some emulator modded "Holy Crusade" version of Super Castlevania (I believe) that are super high rated
