It's funny. I grew up with SNES and still prefer those games, but I'd fit better into the target demo for Genesis. I like my action games.

The Shining Force series is one of the few RPG series on the Sega Genesis. It's a tactical RPG similar to the Fire Emblem games. Perhaps not as refined as those games, it is still a solid strategy RPG. The changes for the remake include expanded plot, three new playable characters, three new battles, ramping difficulty system, and some tweaks in the gameplay. One of the new characters can use "cards" in battle, and turn order is determined solely by a unit's speed stat and can be checked at any time from a list, allowing the player to plan out battles with greater certainty. The remake features a ramping difficulty system; every time a play-through is successfully completed a player earns a star and all enemies get a boost in stats for the next play through. It's a great remake and it's also wonderful to have it in a portable form.
