I don't remember this one in arcades, and I certainly didn't play it at home since nobody could afford the NEO GEO system and games back then. Who published this? Looks like something Data East would do.

One of the reasons why Dragon Warrior was so big was because that at one point, Nintendo Power was giving away free copies of the game if you subscribed to the magazine.
Some of my favorite NES games include:
The Legend of Zelda
Mario 2
DuckTales
Rescue Rangers
Little Nemo: The Dream Master
Mega Man series
I got ALL the Yarn Yoshi Amiibos. I'm a freak. I also have the Chibi Robo Amiibo. Chibi Robo blog coming soon.
My first JRPG was Dragon Warrior on the NES. My friend had it, and I'd go over to his house and we'd play it. It was fun, but not enough to make me want to buy it. Later when the SNES came out, I played FF2 (4) and was hooked on 16-bit RPGs from then on.
I know that I've written 1up memories blogs before. I think the 1up E3 meetings were around 2004-2006-ish.
I started an account at 1up back in 2004, just a few months after it originally opened. I was there for a good eight years until it closed its doors. That was a pretty sad day when that happened. I have so many good memories of the 1up site, I could write a whole blog about it. I think my favorite was when 1up had a little get-together party at their booth at E3 (when I could go to E3), and we all got free t-shirts (still have mine). I even applied for a few jobs at 1up, but I was always rejected. Oh well.
But I'm glad PixlBit was around when 1up went away so I could continue doing what I enjoy: writing about video games. There are a few people from 1up who don't post here that I still keep up with on Facebook, but other than that, this is it. There are a lot of people from 1up that I miss, too.
Well, then it looks like I won't be getting the game then. I have the big hard drive on my Wii U, but it's getting pretty full already because I review so many games. Any game over 4GB should be on disc anyway. I know we'll eventually get to be just downloadable only, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Very disappointing, Nintendo. Oh well, thanks for the info anyway.
The 360 was released in 2005? I thought it was 2006. Oh well, I never had an original Xbox anyway, and I didn't get a 360 until summer of 2007.
Again, lots of good games came out in the 2004-2006 time. I can't remember, but I think the Phoenix Wright games came out about this year. I know my Game of the Year in 2005 was Psychonauts. Have you ever played that one?
