Ys Origin releasing on Nintendo Switch, physical release by Limited Run Games confirmed
- Thread starter JB2448
- Start date
Afaik the Mega CD one was the official Ys IV and was made by Falcom themselves which is why the PCE CD and the SFC Versions were outsourced
This is as pure of an action Ys game as you'll find, but it references the humping games quite a bit.
As I understood it Sega (or possibly Sims) was making it under their Sega-Falcom partnership label. Falcom only did the original design doc for Ys IV iirc and then licensed it out to Sega (MD), Hudson (PCE) and Tonkin House (SFC) for consoles and they each sort of made their own game. I've no idea if Falcom ever planned a PC88 or PC98 version though but it'd be another year before they'd start making console games themselves and even then they chose SFC (Popful Mail, Ys V) and PCE (Legend of Xanadu 1-2) anyway.
Dotemu developed Streets of Rage 4, which turned out well on the Switch (mostly consistent 60fps), so hopefully they manage to deliver.
An old french magazine of mine lists Falcom as the Mega CD developer of Ys IV during the Mega CD preview blowout of 1991. Falcom had already made Hudson and Nec Avenue port most of their games to the PC CD system and Sega port their few games to the Megadrive. But this was supposed to be Falcom's big console debut before the project was shelved due to abysmal Mega CD sales in Japan (and elsewhere tbh)
I was thinking about re-installing the game the other day since I never finished it back then. Hopefully, this is 60 fps, otherwise, I might just play this on PC.
Anyone got any idea who dotemus 'European retail partners' are? Wanna try and snag the collectors Edirtion, but don't wanna use Ltd run if I can avoid it
as I already mentioned here, you can bet it's Merge Games again, with the same exact type of deal as with streets of rage 4. once LRG's preorders close (aka their timed exclusivity), they'll announce their standard retail edition and their signature edition.
Pre-order is up at LRG.
Just put my order in...but dang that shipping got me a bit. I'm to used to free shipping these days.

The game is surprisingly fun and perfectly suited for a handheld. Will absolutely pick it up when I get a Switch in the future.
