it doesn't quite dethrone yumesame for me in any of those fields, and i preferred hagokoro's H system, but overall i loved it, and it was especially a massive improvement on mines canary. the new MTL method certainly helped. (the pronouns jump around some, and the constant use of "climax" is a little jarring, but it's better than "making it squid".) (there are a few untranslated lines hidden in some of the alternate battle events, but they're nothing important.)
Both fair assessments I'd say. Hagokoro's h-system was certainly well done and a step in the right direction from Parade Buster with his wave based 1st person-action format of games. As for Yume-same, I'd played through that before =Together= ended up translating it, so I haven't gotten to experience the story in it's full translated glory yet, perhaps I should go back to it.
Yumesame was great. The only problem is that after finishing it a few times, I got bored of it.
Plus, the problem with Yumesame is that if you put it on hard mode, it's only challenging until the minotaur boss and again at the angel boss.
Especially if you finished it a few times. It gets boring fast.
This is one of the strong points for SPB over his other games in my opinion. Although it is, obviously, a Super Punch Out clone, that doesn't change the fact that it is a pretty engaging game that is still challenging on subsequent play through the stages on the hardest difficulty. Well, that is until you do all the missions through 50 and can just bulldoze through everything by dodging repeatedly and using max chance attacks. But that power being locked until you complete the main story is a good thing as well.
Also, if you go to his ci-en he's already in the works on adding additional content (more characters!) as well as what appears to be a high difficulty endless roguelike mode. Info for those things can be found here:
