CCC: Fighting games are experiencing a kind of second renaissance these days. Long lost IPs are being resurrected, the lost art of the 2D fighter has been revived, and the tournament scene is now bigger than ever. With the recent announcement of a brand new JoJo's Bizarre Adventure game by NAMCO Bandai, it's only natural that Capcom would resurrect their classic JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2D fighter for the HD generation. That's exactly what JoJo's Bizzare Adventure HD is, a faithful port of the old classic. Now, HD remakes generally come with lots of bells, whistles, and extra content, but JoJo HD unfortunately falls a little short in this area. The game is as fun as it ever was, but you aren't getting much more than the exact game you played over a decade ago.
Siliconera:
"Bandai Namco has more music for Taiko Drum Master: Don and Katsu’s Great Space-Time Adventure. A new expansion adds an extra quest and five more songs including "JoJo (Sono Chi no Sadame)." JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans should recognize that as the theme song from the 2012 anime adaptation."
Have you enjoyed Capcom’s digital re-releases? According to Capcom, perhaps not enough.
Capcom’s Christian Svensson has addressed some dissension on the official Capcom forums, explaining why some games have yet to re-release to the PSN and XBLA, and why they’re “slowing down” on HD remakes in general.
Bummer. I was hoping for more retro Disney game remakes. Aladdin and Chip 'n Dale would be fantastic on top of the upcoming Ducktales game.
I wanted an HD Street Fighter 3 Alpha with Online capabilities. It was the deepest Capcom fighter, and came out when arcades were dying, so I spent all that time getting good at it for nothing. If it was online, THEN I could start laying the smackdown!
Oni-Fucking- Musha Capcom. HD remaster this series before you start getting god damn lazy. Its the only game i want from you right now....
Worth Playing: "At half the asking price, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure would be a worthwhile impulse purchase, as the game itself still offers some intriguing gameplay. But a bare-bones release with a premium cost is difficult to justify for all but the most ardent of fans. You're better off buying a used Dreamcast or PSone copy and firing up the old console for a trip down memory lane."
