Just because it's kinda odd: Karous got a port to the 3DS. It's... Karous, with some added stuff, I think. I only played it a little prior. I know it isn't exactly well loved but it's an interesting choice for a port. I like it well enough.

I said the same thing about Phalanx when they re-did it for GBA. Every once in a while this happens...

I always wonder if someone at the publisher is just a fan of a particular game whenever something like this happens. "I know Karous didn't get a good reception, but I had wonderful memories playing it on Dreamcast with my college roommate. I can publish it for next to nothing? DONE!"

Im sure thats pretty much exactly how it went! Small publishers often have room for big hearts.

I really can't imagine that being the case. I know very few people at retail publishers who legitimately enjoy games. the next to nothing rights is something, but it's still a lot of effort and money to port and distribute, so it's very odd.

So much for my imaginary scenario.

Maybe it was some guy's school project already and they just decided to go the extra %1 and actually produce it.
