Rocket Slime is awesome!!!! I played this when it came out and I feel like no one has played this game. This game needed a multiplayer aspect or downloadable bosses to extend this game.
You (and OP) have awakened some deep memories with this one. I think they could make a pretty legit modern take on DQH Rocket Slime. Slingshotting around with a more fluid control system would make for an awesome time~
Someone else in this thread made me aware that there IS a sequel on the 3ds. It just never came out outside Japan. However there is an English translation ROM, so if you wanna play it bust out the emulators!
I'm starting up og Rocket Slime again right now and it's still just as great and charming as a I remember it. Maybe a little simple, there are times you can definitely tell it's made for children, but it's one of the few non-nintendo games that have tapped into that amazingly childish energy. I typed in my name and slimes made my name on the top screen! Or can't forget about The Plob, that name alone makes me crack up
There was multiplayer, it just wasn't online! Rocket Slime actually had the feature that would allow people that owned a DS but not the OG game to download it through your DS onto theirs and play it temporarily. But yeah I know what you mean, I haven't played in years but I remember there really isn't much to do after all the art is back and you got the Hero Sword from the post game Arena. Gotta say though, that final boss battle is fucking amazing and has the most kickass music ever.
I probably replayed Rocket Slime more than any other game as a child. I lost my first copy as a kid. I wasn't a very fussy kid, normally I'd just roll with whatever. One of my babysitters accidentally threw away my copy of Pokemon Emerald and I just rolled with it because I didn't want my parents to spend the $10 it would have cost for the loose cart at GameStop. When I personally lost Rocket Slime though? Literally inconsolable. My Dad wasn't moved by random fussing, but he quickly recognized that this wasn't just me "losing a toy". My ass stopped playing video games for weeks until my step mom found a new copy.
Sorry, just had to rant about how much I FUCKING love this game
