In 2002, Tecmo released Rygar: The Legendary Adventure. The re-telling of their 8-bit classic was indeed Legendary, an excellent game that many overlooked at the time. Well, now it's coming to the Wii as Rygar: The Battle of Argus.
Tecmo are officially saying it's "not the same Rygar," trying to make us feel better about a port of a six-year-old game. What's going to be fresh? New enemies, techniques and -- of course -- waggle. Additionally, the new "Gladiator Mode" will focus on the game's new "swinging movement of the Wii Remote."
So. There you have it. I have a copy of the PlayStation 2 game sitting on my shelf, and I have to admit, I haven't played it in awhile. Regardless of how much I liked the original, I'm not sure how tempted I am to slap down the $39.99 when The Battle of Argus comes out this December.
Regardless of how much you liked the original, I think everyone can agree they'd rather see a brand new title rather than a port. Anyone looking forward to picking this one up?

I still can't quite believe it.
Would I pick it up if I had the PS2 original though? Probably not. Not really digging on bro' Rygar.
I mean this port has been in development for so long you would hope something has been added.
that boss enemey is not in the ps2 rygar.
not the same game.
I'll rent it at least.
"Rygar: Muscle Impact". I remember the director saying he wanted to name it that because he wanted to give the impression that playing the game would build your muscles like the hero's. Which is awesome.
