Nothing really new here in this remake of the old NES classic, aside from the usual graphical and aural upgrade. If you’re thinking that maybe Square was smart and did away with that stupid experience system, well you’re wrong, it’s here, and you’d better get used to the idea. Still, it does look pretty.

Another “filler” patch until the “real” one comes along, this is very well done, and if you don’t mind the occasional weird menu, you can definitely get through the game with this. Well, if it’s as complete as they say anyway. I don’t think I can play this game all the way through again. Anyway the game is basically complete, and uses the Neo Demiforce NES script as a basis. Stage 2 will fix all of the translation problems, as well as use a 100% brand new script. Hurray!
