So with the remaining amount on my eShop card, I went ahead and got Ecco the Dolphin 3D and Gunstar Heroes 3D. Gunstar looks amazing, but then with all the crazy faux-3D effects they were already pulling off with sprites, I would expect nothing else. Just made me wonder at the possibilities of a Ranger X 3D... *sigh*.
Ecco is a slightly different case... the base game is still Ecco the Dolphin, so I can't fault it all too harshly, but the 3D effect feels a little flat. I feel like the ocean backgrounds should have been pushed back a little further or something... it's not bad, just not as phenomenal as the other conversions I've seen so far.
I was planning on more Guild games next (namely Weapon Shop de Omasse, Liberation Maiden, and The Starship Damrey), but the other Sega conversions caught my eye, so I think I might be dipping into Galaxy Force 2 next, maybe Space Harrier or Streets of Rage. I only wish there were a Burning force one on here.
