I'm actually caught up on the comics now. It has always done exceptionally well, from what I can tell. There gets to be a point where it's kind of irritating, because you missed story elements due to one offs and mini series. Anyway, the main book and Sonic Universe are both wrapping up the broken world arc, that was started with the reboot at the end of the first Mega Man crossover. I guess that had to happen, because a former writer is being a dick, so they can't use any characters he came up with. Kind of works out though, because it matches the games more now, and they've gotten pretty creative in their own right.
As for Grandia, all the Saturn has is the original, which you're better off with the PS1 version, since it was localized, and Grandia Digital Museum, which is a disc specifically for explaining the characters and world. Kind of like how the SNES satellite thing had a similar museum program for Chrono Trigger. The only direct sequel, of sorts, to Grandia is the Game Boy Color game, which I made a thread here (
Grandia: Parallel Trippers...) 5 years ago for the fan translation.
As for a new game that has my interest:
River City: Tokyo Rumble for 3DS - GameFAQs
Can't find much of anything for information, but from what I can tell, it basically has the same gameplay as River City Ransom, with a dodgeball mode too.
Also, I might be interested in the next Sonic Boom(which is also supposed to have come out today),
if it turns out well. Didn't look terrible from what I could make out. At the same time, who could be as excited for it as for Sonic Mania though? I hope that gets a later physical release for the handhelds, like Shovel Knight did.
I'm also hoping for the possibility of the next 3D Sega collection getting localized. Thunder Force III(oh, yeah, they own Technosofts IPs now), Gunstar Heroes, Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, Turbo Outrun, Super Hang-On, and After Burner II, with 2 more games to be announced. Those first 4 alone would justify the purchase(and the latter 3 are most likely the arcade versions).
