It seems that Sega is remaking the first Shining Force game for the GBA, and I have to say that it is looking good. <p>Here's a link to see the news coverage on the Shining Force remake:<p>http://www.shiningforcecentral.com/#220304 <br> <br><p>[size=small][Edit by ThePeaGuy on [TIME]1080224243[/TIME]][/size]

That's good, maybe in the far future there will be a Shining Force IV, who knows?

Rumours say it is a card game...<br>I hope it isn't. SF is still one of the best RPG in the console world...

From what I read of the linked article, it isn't... There are cards in it which are used as a weapon by a new character, that's all.

i hope it's not a card game too, that does sound cool to have the cards for the weapons!

Its not a card game, the cards are used by one player in the game thats new and from the sounds of it HES GOING TO BE VERY FREAKING USEFUL O_O odd are tho you prob. only get him for like the final battle...

How kitch filling all the games with cards... :~

It'll be nice to see a new version of such a classic game, as long as they don't try to add too many new, trendy aspects. I have been trying to get into SFII on emulation but just haven't been able to get into it. The same goes for SFIII. I *just* got it for Saturn and while it's definitely a Shining Force game, I hate the look of it. I know 3D was just coming into the picture back then and it seems they were trying to do too much with it in the game. One thing I liked about the SF games was the cool, cinematic look of the battle scenes... and now in SFIII, everything looks so pixelated and ugly. That's not the reason I stopped playing it though... I don't have any memory to save a game so I didn't want to get too far into it.<p>As far as Shining Games went, I always liked Shining in the Darkness and Shining the Holy Ark better. More my kind of RPG.

Admitidly I am going to download the GBA remake of SF1, cause I want the new graphics for my SitD/SF MMORPG, which is starting to look abit tacky at the moment. Max actualy talks too, which will be intresting to see.<p>Theres aload of screenshots here If anyone hasnt seen them yet: <br>http://www.shiningforcecentral.com/news/2004/sfgba/phpslideshow.php <p>[size=small][Edit by acebloke on [TIME]1081256284[/TIME]][/size]

i love sf saga,and the remake of gba is IMPRESSIVE!!1 I WANT TO PLAY IT!!!

its not a remake

Yes,shining force:resurrection of the black dragon for gba is A REMAKE OF SHINING FORCE:THE LEGACY OF THE GREAT INTENTION of sega genesis,look at the images...

It is a remake. They updated the graphics, added more scenes, characters... What you would expect of a remake.

As stated by IGN<p>http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/592/592201.html?ui=cb_up_01<p>"Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon<p>Shining Force is a roleplaying battle game with vastle upgraded graphical detail, improved special effects, and a unique strategic battle system. Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon is based on the incredibly popular Shining Force franchise published on the Genesis/Mega Drive in 1992. The staff that worked on the original games supplied the scenario for this one as well. When compared to the Genesis originals, the battles are more tactical, there are new character animations, the gameplay is more balanced, and the developers added three new characters as well as new "Unique Card System" that adds a new tactical dimension to the battles."<br><p>[size=small][Edit by HuBBsDoctor on [TIME]1082401557[/TIME]][/size]

That still makes it a remake, I think. All remakes are based on a game.
