The Y's

[Sgt.Pepper1983]

The original one on the sms is the only one I've played before. I want to hear some opinions about other titles in the series. Personally I'm wanting to try the nes repros of the Y's 1, 2, and 3, and the ds remake of the Y's 1 and 2 just so I'll have a portable version of it. As far as the 16 bit version of the Y's 3, is it better on the snes or the genesis?

The best version is Y's Book 1 and 2 on the Turbografx-16(personal choice) but i have heard good things about the DS version as well.

[Sgt.Pepper1983]

I don't have a turbografx but I'm looking into whether one would be worth getting or not.

Ys (no comma! ) was awful on the DS. It was a goony-controlled port of the REALLY awesome Windows PC one.

 

If you want to play the DS one, I suggest you skip it and get the Ys 1 and 2 remake on PC instead. If you can read Japanese, the Saturn one (nearly same as PC one) is a good option.

 

As for Ys in general

 

Ys 1 & 2: Either the PC Engine or the Windows PC/Saturn one...

Ys III: The PCE CD one is king, with Genesis being right behind it.

Ys IV: PCE CD

Ys V: SFC

Ys VI: PS2 or PC

Ys Oath in Felghana: (its a remake of Ys III) Great on Windows

 

and anything else new Ys wise, youll only be finding on the PC.
