Preview: Burning Fists: Force Striker

[Melf]

After over a decade in the hands of private collectors, a new Sega CD game is about to make its debut. Burning Fists: Force Striker is currently being finished up by Good Deal Games and is slated for release at next month's CiniClassic! To whet your appetite, Sega-16 has a full preview (http://www.sega-16.com/forum/../Preview-%20Burning%20Fists.htm), including some info straight from GDG itself and even a beta video! Miss it not!

Pre-ordered right as I found out about the limited run!

[Joe Redifer]

Interesting. All you're missing is a link to where it can be preordered.

[David J.]

www.j2games.com

For those who preordered, is anyone elses order "processing"?

[Melf]

Added it at the bottom. :)

Man, that J2 site has quite a few games I'd like to order, but the site sucks too much balls for me to proceed. It is very slow, hangs quite a bit and occasionally causes my browser to crash. Oh well, they would have gotten a decent amount of $$$ from me if the site worked more gooder. I'll try tomorrow. If it still has problems, I will set the website on fire.

The backgrounds are really nice. Seems like a decent fighter, but they need to resample that mayan warrior :P

[Demonic Weasel]

Damn that looks good. Now where the hell is my new RPG?

Hmm... I used IE of all browsers, and it worked fine.

I'm not impressed. Only 200 copies? Come on, that's a blatant 'BUY ME COLLECTORS' attitude, and I hate it. It's been bought from some selfish collector, so let the wider world play it. How many will be bought in bulk and eBayed by profiteers this way, eh? I can understand a game like Beggar Prince, where you need to pay for the plastic casings, cartridge and so on. That costs money, and still they're doing a higher print run of 600. All GDG are doing is burning a few CDs, slapping together a few glossy inserts and sticking them in spare American Sega-CD cases.

Other than that, the game looks nice. Shame I'll not be able to buy it.

Ah crap.

Only shipps to US and CA.

Anyone want to help a poor lil swede out? :(

[David J.]

I've talked with J2games and GoodDealGames, and they said there is a slim, and a VERY slim chance they might press some more copies. Don't hold your breath.

[kevinski]

but they need to resample that mayan warrior :P

Yeah…he sounds kinda like Elmo, in my opinion.

[David J.]

Is everyone elses preorder "processing"? I've never preordered, but I'd like to know.

[Joe Redifer]

To me that would seem normal in a case like this where the game isn't yet available. You can always e-mail them and ask for clarification, though.

"100% Sega Tasted" ... a winning happy time awaits surely hungry gamer!?

I'm assuming the Engrish was fixed during the tweaking this game received. Hopefully it has shaped up to be a well-balanced, interesting fighter. It certainly doesn't look particularly deep from that beta video, but time will tell.

[Flash1087]

So...I do want this, but I don't have a Sega CD yet and can't really talk myself into buying this for that reason alone.

A decision I'll come to regret, surely.

[Melf]

You need a Sega CD! Think of all the great games you're missing out on.

[Joe Redifer]

The video made the game look insanely easy.

[Drixxel]

Well, it was said in the brief interview that the computer AI in the beta was complete shite. Hopefully it has brained up considerably since then.
