Lufia II casts a spell on North America this fall

I'm excited for this. I love action RPGs, and I loved Lufia II for the SNES when I was a little girl. Can't wait for Wednesday!

I'm a little disapointed. I expected turn based battle system not action rpg. If ain't broke don't fix it Natsume.

But the first part when?

i loved the trun based fighting of lufia, identical to FF series.. i hope the action rpg style wont dumb this down

Can't wait to get this game but still I need to get Dragon Quest IX, Golden Sun DS, and Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadows first. So many great RPGs popping out this year and to make matter even more exciting, a Fire Emblem remake, Dragon Quest VI, Dragon Ball: Origins 2, and Final Fantasy Gaiden: Four Warriors of Light are also coming too.

Just please don't remake the first one...or at least cut the encounter rates by 1/8th or so.

They better keep capsule monsters!

Changing a classic as drastic as this from classic RPG to Action RPG, I think it will upset a lot of diehard fans.

Sweet! I also want them to remake the first game....yay!

WOOT!!! I Love the Lufia Series and I have the import to this game. It's Average to tell you the truth.

I'm real skeptical about this reincarnation. I remember playing the Lufia series as a kid and I love the old style RPG sense it gave me. I do think the Action RPG genre still has a long way to go....

Famitsu and the Japanese were not impressed with this game (it sold less than 50,000 copies in Japan and did not get an impressive scrore from Famitsu), and I expect the same for its overseas release.

I hope they don't dumb down lufia 2...... remakes tend to be toothless and shadows of themselves....

Spacehead, what is a better MP3 player than the iPod?

Hmmm, why remake Rise of the Sinistrals first? Well, Lufia 2 was a prequel to Lufia 1. So maybe they will release the games in chronological order instead of in the order of release. I am not sure I am interested in an action RPG slant for the remake though. Maybe I should just fire up an emulator and relive the glory of these games.

I wish people would stop trying to push the PSP. It is dead.

i played the jap version of this game and is really good, and i dont like action rpgs in general

I'm looking forward to this game since I've never played the series.

Now that's a name I never expected to see again. Then again, Natsume started the whole farm simulator thing which has blown up all over the world. I guess I could see them trying to cash in on past success.

Evenios, it is a fortunate thing that "super amazing elite video game graphics" aren't what make a good video game, otherwise the ps2, nintendo ds and all of those gameboys wouldn't have outsold everything in existence. The ipod isn't the most superior mp3 player out there but it is the most popular and that is why an ungodly amount of accessories fill retail stores. It's where the money is and to the average person it is the most accessible.

ugh would these companys stop making ds exclusive remakes? I mean if your going to make a remake the DS is the worst platform to do it on. at least do it on a psp or even better ps3 , xbox 360. The ds's graphics are outdated!

I liked the Lufia games on SNES, but I'd probably just play the originals again. To be honest, I'm not sure I'd want to play it as an action RPG. Games like this is are usually still good due to nostalgia, so a remake that changes things has to be a great game overall, not just a remake.

I got excited until I saw it was going to be changed. It better be a good change as I expect any Lufia to be a great game.

It looks like they changed a lot more than just the battle system. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I don't think the lack of the turn based battles is really going to change all that much, it was mostly a Dragon Quest ripoff. What really set the Lufia series apart were the really hard puzzles!

ish, the turn-based mechanic was a charm of Lufia II i don't see why they wanna change it.

I see an obvious typo here.

So? I want the original Lufia, in the original SNES format, on the Wii console please, thanks!

Why bother remaking a game if you are going to change its gameplay? Just saying.

Lufia 2 on the DS? Awesome! Boy am I happy...oh, wait...they're changing the battle mechanic from turn based to action adventure?...they had me excited for a minute there. I'll be passing on this one and hope they release the real Lufia 2 on the Virtual Console.

Huh? Tosses turn-based mechanics in favor of an action role-playing game slant. I'm not going to like this.

yay! although i'm not so sure about the action thing...i really like the original. oh well i guess we'll see

Wow This was my favorite game for a very long time, but if they changed the battle system to an action system I'm not sure I even want to bother with the game.

looks like fun hope they put it on the wii shop channel

ooh bad move please dont make it an action rpg that would ruin the whole fun of the game.

Changing the game from a turn based RPG to an Action RPG is not a good change IMO. But, I will have to read the reviews before I make my decision to buy it.

I am sure that I will get it. I loved Lufia 2 when I played it with my SNES.

I don't mind the change in battle mechanics, but I hope they keep the puzzles intact.

Awesome! Lufia II was one of my favorite RPGs on the SNES.
