Holy shit I remember XXL2 being so good, I loved the references to the other games, it had TONS. I hope XXL3 is similar in that regard.

Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 remaster releasing November 29 (Switch/XB1/PS4/PC), XXXL 3 coming fall 2019
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
Never played it, was this any good ? The only Asterix game I really spent any amount of time with playing was the 90's Arcade game, which is still awesome.
The original's GTA like cover was great:
I actually never played it, but there was an Asterix game on PS1 I seriously dug.
Very, very random announcement, but pretty cool nonetheless.

Hah, yeah!
Will that special edition also come with the 3 mini figures? Because I would drop cash instantly for that :P
Best image I could find :X
Did you ever read this one:
Funny as hell.
Wasn't that in 2002 or something though? oh, right they did a third one recently didn't they? completely forgot about that one...
Also, can't see Infogrames/Atari logo anywhere, wonder if that means they sold the rights to these games.
Because the Asterix franchise has been pretty low in the past years. Aside from the movie and two comics released with a low profile, from my perspective. Don't get me wrong, i'm a huge Asterix fan but it's way past its prime and i'm surprised they still go with it, even with a remaster of a two gens old game with mostly the west european market at best, because Asterix AFAIK is pretty unknowm in North America.
Wait a moment but holy shit, never thought i would see this kind of avatar here hahaha
Un poquito de por favor, MY MAN!
Weirdly, I have absolutely no reaction to this.
I like Asterix, I remember hearing about the XXL games, but I never really picked up on whether they were any good or not. Was XXL the one with the parodies of other video games in it, or was that a different one? And was that a one-off, or did it continue into the sequel? (I guess part of my bemusement is that I'm not sure I was fully aware that there was an XXL2)

I think I own this book, gotta check my mini collection later ;)Did you ever read this one:

Asterix is reasonably well known here in Australia, too, along with Tintin. As in, if you walk into the average library you'll find a big stack of Asterix comics, usually along with Tintin. Fantastic, fantastic stories. And the newer comics written and drawn by new people are still pretty decent. I haven't read the most recent one, Asterix and the Chariot Race, from late 2017, but it is apparently the best selling comic of 2017. Or at least the one with the biggest print run.
The initial print run was 5 million copies. That's 2 million for France, 2 million for Germany, and 1 million for everyone else.
It kinda irks me, TBH, that the US-centric slant of the English speaking internet means that something so HUGE and renowned for its quality is pretty much nonexistent in typical internet discussion because the series isn't popular in America despite being beloved in many countries.
This makes way too much sense, i can't believe i've never even thought of it.
What is this supposed to mean?
I played the game, because it was incredible for the GBA.
Fake edit: googled it, gonna watch that YouTube channel.
I watch DF Retro and listen to Retronauts though.
"Warrrumm nicht ?" still gets referenced in my circle of friends. An absolute classic.
Because they had a section about strange games and feats of gaming, and Asterix XXL on GBA was one of them, praising the 3D effect. I was blown off of how impressive it still looks today.
These games where good? I know that they were fairly well reviewed here in Europe, but I don't know how well was the public reception.
Asterix as a musou Omg why hasn't this happened already ?!?
And I didn't know about the New movie, I think astier did a good job with the previous one, I can't wait for his New one

Probably one of the best possible franchises for that, but on the other hand: Do people in Japan exist who are interested in Asterix?
Whoa now this is something I wasn't expecting. I remember playing the Sega Genesis version so many years ago but was stuck on a specific level.
Is this coming to the USA?!
Is this coming to the USA?!
I can't wait for this, Alexandre Astier is the creator and actor in Kaamelott, a popular medieval comedy series in France (and French-Canadians) from the early/late 2000's
I don't know if there's videos with English subs on YT, but I definitely recommend it.

You're thinking of Asterix and the Great Rescue. I also never finished it as despite renting it numerous times, I'd always hit a roadblock with the log roll boss.
I imagine it'll be a worldwide release, at least digitally. The announcement was tweeted twice: once in French and again in English.
Never heard of them.
GBA had a few really impressive games, V-Rally 3, Driver 3, Asterix XXL and Super Monkey Ball.
Might be missing a few later games; I think there's a Tony Hawk 3D game (downhill or something), not the isometric ones.
Gaming needs more Bretagne. We have Astérix and, uh, maybe the first two Ys games?
Never played these, kind of a weird announcement but why not. And based on the replies I need to check out that recent animated movie.
I had a 2D Astérix game on my pc in the late 90s, I remember really enjoying it but I have no idea if it holds up.

Oh wow, that would totally work.
Is the first game remastered? If so then I have completly missed it....
I didn't know that I needed this in my life until now

Europe loves Asterix, by the way :D
Was It? Gotta watch it, I guess. Never been a huge fan of the animated movies compared to the original comics.
Yessssssssssssss
Not even 12 tasks? I loved that one. Only one written by Goscinny too
I didn't know there was a sequel to Asterix & Obelix XXL... I played the first one and it was such an enjoyable game. I'll definitely check this out.
