I wish I could rate this as a "meh". The main game itself isn't that bad, it's a tough as balls SNES game where the CPU has a total advantage over you most of the time so you have to cheese them, which works with everyone except the bosses. The story's actually pretty okay, the River City Girls localization isn't an issue at all.

The big issue is with the frontend itself; no way to remap controls, a really weird savegame system where you have to save and quit (instead of just saving), over 4 GB of extra intro / ending videos that aren't needed, a crash bug that happens after beating the game if you have a certain option selected (bug was never fixed), lots of leftover Japanese signage and text in the game itself that wasn't touched - including the game's end credits and original manual - and a rare but easy to reproduce bug that completely kills the SNES audio. And unfinished menu text if you choose an European language.

There was an attempt, but this game could've used another month of QA. But WayForward doesn't do QA, especially when it comes to languages.

I'm happy I only paid a few bucks for this through a Humble Bundle, because it's not worth the full list price, let alone the Limited Run extortion cost for a physical copy.
