TDK was doing Robotech games in the GBA era, too- they were nothing if not keeping a finger on the pulse of pop culture.
I watched Love Hina when it came out and cannot imagine a "safe" path for Keitaro even knowing the source material. The health system sounds extremely stressful.
Thank you very much for the kind words! I do need to check out some of the GBA's fighting games, since I've heard a couple of them are pretty interesting.
Ohh!!! Thank you so much! :)
