The Sword of Hope II Strikes Europe Next Week

Hell Yeah! finally xD

man, I'm so stoked for this one. All the people on the forums have sold it for me long ago!

Yeah, I'll be getting this 2pm sharp on Thursday.

Was that unreleased in Europe on B&W Game Boy??

Amazing game.

Yes!!! First proper RPG on our eShop, i'm gonna get this and Defenders of Oasis (when it comes out).

@Scarhino89 - According to wikipedia you guys never got it.

Have fun Europe, it's at least 15 hours according to my activity log

Enjoy, Europe! One of the most pleasant surprises on the VC yet!

Europe, if you love RPG's you'll love this.

Buying it on day one!

I got 20 hours out of it. Great game, right up there with Link's Awakening DX & Metroid II as one of VC's best, IMO.

I love this game.

I HOPE this will my fav VC game since Metroid II, I haven't played many VC games since, except for Kirby's Dreamland 2.

I'm interested in this, but I'll wait till they have the first game on the eShop. I'm still so puzzled about their decision to release the sequel first.

enjoy europe i didnt get to play it but i guess its great

Congrats Europeans!

@Olaf-symbiote Why wait ages for the first game when it may not even come to the Virtual Console in Europe? I really doubt you need to play the first game to understand the second.

The name of hero means in Greek << god>> the music of. This game is so so retro

@Bass_X0 Why wouldn't the first one be released? It was released in the Japanese 3DS VC, and since there shouldn't be anything controversial with The Sword of Hope, I'm betting it will be released elsewhere eventually. The only explanation I can figure for why the sequel is released first is that someone Kemco can't count to two.

As for your question, I'm willing to wait patiently for the first game, even if it won't come immediately, since I still have tons of games on my eShop watchlist that I'll likely get before TSOH2. Even if I downloaded the title right now, I wouldn't actually start playing it yet as I still have many unplayed Gameboy games downloaded on my system (Gargoyle's Quest, Bionic Commando, Mario's Picross, etc., etc.). Anyway, while I'm certainly interested in this title, I'm not dying to play it straight away, so waiting "ages" for the first game is absolutely no problem to me.

I would like that Nintendo risk more, sword of hope II is very addictive, much as others underestimated the eshop, avenging spirit, maru's mission, bionic commando.

I hope we see the first part Eshop someday in U.S. and Europe
