I have just watched some videos (a playthrough) from Game Boy version of Daikatana (I remember I couldn't get it to run years ago, but I don't intend to play it). I don't get why people claim that it is better than the PC version, the storyline is definitely poorer and it is not making any sense at all. I guess you could say that of the PC version, but it's the complete opposite for me, I mean in PC version you even level up your skills, while all you level up in the GBC version is your health after killing bosses and that is called RPG? Pardon me?
Of course the N64 version is even worse and the GBC version got some nide ideas and twists that could be used in the remake, but to me the PC version is the most superior one. Most of people who claims Daikatana sucks have not even played the whole game, or just outright suck at it and then bash the game, or tell outright lies about it because they are pissed. There are many reasons why the Daikatana failed, but most people are really ignorant about it. The game has great multiplayer and probably revolutionary system at all, even at coop, but it was outright ignored.
Yet Deus Ex was deemed as a much better game, sure there was almost no hype about it and no media press, Romero was never really a rock star like guy, he just fell for it all naievely.
