Brave Battle Saga - Piko release

[Seingalt]

Citing from a recent Piko Interactive email:
Next up, we have the Turn Based RPG, Brave Battle Saga - The Legend of the Magic Warrior! We'd like to introduce the official artwork done by Simon Phipps (Switchblade, Rick Dangerous, Wolfchild, Shadowman). BBS will come packaged with a high quality Sega Genesis plastic Case, it will feature a new Sega Genesis Cartridge Shell, a PCB with Battery Saving, a Color Manual, and a RetroPOG!

Pre-Order Now to get the BBS World Map with your order!



Does this mean that only customers who pre-order get the map? Is the BBS World Map limited?

[EPSYLON EAGLE]

Feb/March =D

Hmm... The cover looks good, and a lot more like what Genesis/Mega Drive games looked like back in the day.

Looking at the screen shots, the lack of color consistency on the main character irks me. For example, in the overworld, his jacket is tan with blue pants while in battle, it's a blue jacket with red pants.

Hopefully that will be fixed before the final release.

We are planning small polished before shipping. There are a few request by the community that we have on our list

For a moment, I thought it was being released for the Pico.

[Raistlin]

I preordered the game last friday but the map was nowhere mentioned. Did I get one nevertheless?

[Epyx]

I am not really a fan of RPG's by Simon Phipps artwork sounds good, he's a really talented artist.

[Raistlin]

When will the game finally be shipped?

[SBlaise84]

Not to come off as rude, this is just an honest question:

Wasn't this game originally a chinese bootleg with stolen squaresoft resources that's already been a translated rom for years?

Just curious how Piko got around any copyright issues regarding the pirated IP in the game. Also wondering how people feel about the fact that this release caused the English patch to get yanked from most translation sites.

[Sik]

Piko replaces the stolen assets when it comes to games like these.

[SBlaise84]

Ah, ok.

Any thoughts on the original translation?

I really like Piko's initiative.

Water Margin is my favorite game.

But the final quality of the cartridge and label is poor.
I asked them if they wanted to improve this, but I did not get an answer.
