The SEGA Five: Ristar’s Coolest Bosses

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Ristar-3-Screen-Shot-2014-01-22-01-40-40-300x225.png)

Quote
Ristar has some of the most spectacular and varied bosses I’ve ever experienced in a sidescrolling platformer.
Though they aren’t all hits (such as Scorch’s somewhat irritating Simon Say’s sub boss) the five bosses below will remain some of the most memorable experiences I’ve had on the Genesis (and Game Gear), Ristar’s rogues gallery has some star players that are worth highlighting

Vectorman
A Fun and Iconic Genesis classic


(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/segabits-vectorman-tidal-surge-600x450.png)

Quote
While Vectorman‘s variety helps it to stand apart, there are instances were BlueSky Software missteps.
Certain mini-levels, which take on the form of scrollable boss fights, rely heavily on trial and error, switching up the gameplay suddenly and giving you little chance to figure out exactly what you’re expected to do as these fairly unforgiving sections eat up your lives.

One of the selling points for Comix Zone was always its art style.
While there were plenty of games based on comic book IPs, none of them really embraced the feel of a comic book’s panel layout the way Comix Zone did.

You know the development team tried their best when the race starts and Ristar is cheerfully waving the flag. Each of the courses is a visual treat that will certainly make gamers smile.
The various transformations that take place in real time make it even more exciting to look at.

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SEGA_Forever_-_VectorMan_-_Art_1529052451-1-750x366.png)

Quote
The character’s got “SEGA Mascot” written all over him, right down to the way he grooves to his music as he soars in his spaceship at the start of Vectorman 2.
His character design’s also inspired, his body looking like it consists of tiny spheres being magically held together.
This allows him to transform into pretty much anything, and the possibilities for this in a 3D game are so endless that I’m amazed nobody’s tried it yet.

Trivia : Kid Chameleon had faced an uphill battle for acceptance from SEGA's marketing department

Quote
“I had way more pressure on me working on Kid Chameleon,” Steve Woita recalls, “because the game was unknown at the time, so we had to prove to marketing and everybody else that we thought we had a good game our hands.
It’s always extremely difficult to do an original game idea and hardly any of them make it to the market place, so there was extra pressure because nobody outside of our development group knew what we were doing and if it would sell.”

SEGA FOREVER: RICH KARPP INTERVIEW ON VECTORMAN

(https://cdn.sega.com/misc/articles/sf_vector_8.gif)

Quote
Sega : What would your ideal VectorMan game look and feel like today?
Rich Karpp : I’d be torn between wanting a 2D throwback to the original games (but with modern conveniences), similar to Sonic Mania, and wanting a more modern 3D game like the latest Ratchet & Clank game.
In either case, the game would have to run at 60FPS, feature improved animation blending and IK, and have some unique special effects to set it apart.
Also, it would have to have more effort put into its story; I find myself drawn to games with more narrative content these days.

Quote
A game has three key aspects: the graphics, the music, and “playability.”
The success of a game is almost guaranteed thanks to trifecta.
If all three elements are of good quality, or better yet, of excellent quality, the game will have an important impact.
None of them should overshadow the others, or the game will not be successful.

Alisia Dragoon – 1992 Developer Interview

Quote
”As our discussions progressed, we realized if this is a STG game, we’ve got to have options! But traditional Gradius-style options really tied us into using robots in the setting…
Somewhere along the way, someone came up with the image of a girl leading a host of weird beasts into battle, and we all thought this was a really cool idea, and the game gradually took shape into the fantasy game it is today.”

Interview with Chris "Rock The Rock" Tang
His Involvement in FX Unit Yuki: Henshin Engine

Quote
Sega-16: You were recently involved with an indie game called FX Unit Yuki: Henshin Engine that was released for the PC-Engine, Genesis, and Dreamcast. How did that come about?
Chris Tang : I did the writing for (Secret character from Strike Blazinger) Valiya’s story campaign which called upon some of the skills from my work at Capcom where I would rewrite dialogue into “idea chunks” that would flow well and fit into character-limited spaces and not have awkward dashes and sentence breaks.
It’s something that’s not thought of or done too often in modern games since limited screen space isn’t such an issue anymore, but I think that condensing ideas effectively is a great writing skill to practice in any situation.

Xeno Crisis: An Interview with Mike Tucker from Bit Map Bureau

(https://s15.directupload.net/images/181220/f3r7qhah.jpg)

Quote
Smash TV is probably the main influence in terms of the game flow, but the controls are more like Shock Troopers’, and the overall feel/theme was influenced by Mercs, Outzone, The Chaos Engine, and Alien Syndrome.
You’ll probably notice elements from other titles though such as Granada, Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Alien Breed, Robotron, Contra, Doom, Resident Evil, Skeleton Krew and many more.

Quote
Before Sonic the Hedgehog, there was Mickey Mouse.
In November 1990, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse released almost simultaneously in America, Europe, and Japan to the SEGA Genesis and Mega Drive consoles.
At the time, the game was visually stunning, described in one video preview as “beautiful”, “brilliant” and continuing the tradition of Disney animation.
On top of that, the platforming was brimming with inventive platforming elements accompanied by catchy, whimsical music.

Quote
Contrary to popular belief, Castle of Illusion’s development was not confined merely to Japan.
Sega of America and Disney both had major influence and direct involvement with the game’s design.
Along with the actual design and programming, Disney Producer Stephen Butler collaborated with Sega of America’s Senior Producer Jim Huether to ensure that Castle of Illusion remained true to the Mickey Mouse character.
Working from California, Butler and Huether coordinated with Sega and Disney in Japan and provide suggestions and feedback.

Quackshot came at a time when Sega were definitely in their golden age, and they were able to make gold out of almost everything they touched.
Even a game based on Michael Jackson songs became a classic due to their brilliance.
It’s not only one of the best Disney games ever made, but one of the best platformers on the Genesis as a whole.

Quote
World of Illusion was a great example of a well done sequel, in that it took the basic idea of the original (a Mickey Mouse sidescroller) and built upon it while bringing it into a fresh new world.
The two playable characters and co-op play were great additions, and the graphics received a beautiful facelift from what Castle of Illusion brought to the table two years prior.

SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive Mini Review – Mini Console, Mega Heart

(https://media1.giphy.com/media/IfslmCFdZ7zimiCL6m/giphy.gif)

Quote
It’s is solidly made, but it has one major flaw due to it being so small.
It’s extremely light, which while making sense since it is a miniature replicate, it also means that a lot of the weight was sacrificed, which in turn means that there’s always a risk of you accidentally yanking on the console and sending it flying.
If the system had slightly more weight to it and the bottom having more rubber, this problem would of been fixed easily.
However this really small size also means that it’s very portable.
You can stick the entire system and the controllers in a purse, and bring it over to a friend’s house to play some co-op games like Streets of Rage II or Toejam and Earl.

Lord Monarch - 100% Complete English Translation Patch

Quote
Lord Monarch: Legendary Battle Royale (original title - Tokoton Sentou Densetsu) is a real-time strategy (RTS) game for Sega Mega Drive released in 1994.
It’s probably the best version of Lord Monarch - unlike SNES and original NEC PC-98 versions, it features an original Story Mode, where you play as Prince Al of Monarch Kingdom as he goes on an adventure where he meets a cast of cheerful characters, such as Princess Rubia or Spanky the fairy.

Thanks to VGHF, we can finally see how the Sega Genesis would have handled VR.
The ambitious device, slated to launch on 1993 at a mere $199, was quietly canceled, and former Sega President Tom Kalinske eventually confirmed why: researchers found the device made a huge percentage of testers sick with headaches and dizziness.

The US version also came with a poster. It was one of the first games to use 8 Megabit instead of 4 Megabit cartridges, a big portion of that is used for cutscenes.

Did You Know That These Three Games are Trilogy?

(https://i.ibb.co/pzbDSqP/Berto-Mega-Drive-Disney-Collection.jpg)

Those three games are part of Emirin / Emiko Yamamoto's (a game designer and producer at Disney) Mega Drive's I Love ...(Disney) trilogy.
It's reflected on the Japanese Mega Drive's titles :

1. I Love Mickey Mouse: Fushigi no Oshiro Daibouken (aka Castle of Illusion in the west)
2. I Love Donald Duck: Guruzia Ou no Hihou (aka Quackshot in the west)
3. I Love Mickey and Donald: Fushigi na Magic Box (aka World of Illusion in the west).

Understandable that most of western gamers probably wouldn't know this due of the changing of the titles for the western version.

Best Gaming Soundtracks Of All Time - Ecco The Dolphin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqMuvFEKCOk

Quote
'Ecco The Dolphin' was a dense, extremely difficult game that was laden with themes that probably went over the heads of players when it initially launched.
Like the game itself, the soundtrack seemed almost at odds with what other games were doing - it was deep, beautiful, strange, mysterious, purposefully challenging, and far ahead of its time.

10 Of The Most Blatant Snack Sponsorships In Retro Gaming History

(https://media3.giphy.com/media/IX1sTE8ZFLB3W/giphy.gif)

Quote
Cool Spot is an entertaining platform game starring – get ready for this – the red dot on the 7 Up logo.
The European versions of the game had all the 7 Up branding removed (starting to see a theme here?), mainly because 7 Up’s mascot in Europe was another character called Fido Dido and it was decided not to confuse things.
In the bonus stages, instead of spelling out its marketing slogan UNCOLA you had to spell out VIRGIN.
Stop laughing, that’s who published it.

Happy 27th Year Anniversary for Dragon Ball Z: Buyuu Retsuden !!!

Dragon Ball Z: Buyuu Retsuden is a 1994 fighting game by Bandai for the Sega Mega Drive made with the Dragon Ball Z license. 
An unique feature in this game is that both characters will always be on-screen simultaneously — leading to the game doing vertical split-screen with scrolling, rotating split screen, and various other neat tricks the Mega Drive was not known for doing (accomplished using various tricks with VDP layer management).
This feature is in fact required by some of the strongest moves (which require both players to be far away from each other).

Doom 32x: Delta Edition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJlCq8LUu80

Quote
Doom 32x Delta, a direct port of the PC maps and textures, with framerate optimization, brand new foes, monster infighting, 2 bonus levels, and a custom final level based off Jaguar Doom’s E2M8 level featuring the Icon of Sin and one hell of a challenge.
Doom 32x: Delta is not only the definitive Doom 32x experience that truly blows the other level restorations out of the water, but it may just be the ultimate 90’s Console Doom port experience with PSX Doom only beating it by additional content and lighting effects.

Y'know, I often wonder about Master System's Sega All-Stars. I mean Alex Kidd, Ristar and Shinobi are the only Sega Superstars that comes to mind that started out on Master System (Well, Shinobi was originally an arcade game) while most of Nintendo's superstars started on the NES with the other half introduced in SNES.

Makes me wonder who Sega's champions of the Master System.

According to this homebrew game (http://segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=3523.0) who puts many Master System characters :

- Wang from Kung Fu Kid,

The true champion is probably the boss of the game who's originally from SMS : Alis from Phantasy Star.

The the makers of Ecco, one of Sega's classics, now on Intellevision console, it does feel like Sega is somewhat splintered of late. I dunno if this is entirely a good thing given while games like Bombrush Cyberfunk or Dolphin Quest may not be Sega, it's still better than nothing. Same can be said to the few remakes and sequels to Mega Drive and Saturn games we had of late.

Streets of Rage 4 wasn't even made by SEGA, but it was my favorite game last year.

All three games were developed by Nextech, a now-defunct Japanese studio bought by Sega in 1997.
While the three games aren’t exactly household names – in particular, Linkle Liver Story never saw release outside of Japan – they may be memorable to older players.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2e/5c/4f/2e5c4f514e309ece2f0f6ea4d1fd1ce1.jpg)

A new ESRB rating has revealed that Disney Classic Games: Aladdin And The Lion King is getting repackaged with a third game, The Jungle Book, and it's coming to Switch.
It was developed in 1994 by the now-defunct Eurocom and published by Virgin Interactive Entertainment.
If this new edition is anything like the original collection, we'll be treated to multiple emulated versions across a few formats.

Not all are hard. Bonkers and Pocahontas were quite easy.
I enjoyed Aladdin too back then even if it's hard on later levels.
That game really deserved all praises it got.
It's also third best selling SEGA Genesis games, losing only to Sonic 1 & Sonic 2.

TV Show, like American Gladiator, definitely show for older guys ... like us.
I don't think many kids now are recognizing Frogger.
Unless they have Apple arcade, which includes that Frogger in ToyTown.

I mean, it's kinda understandable that Frogger is being forgotten to the new generations. It's just a frog trying to cross the road. While perhaps somewhat "heroic" for a frog to be able to cross such ongoing traffic, crocodiles and what not... it's just a frog. He doesn't exactly stand out like Pac-man, Bomberman or Donkey Kong.

Yeah, but some of them still recognize its clone / spiritual successor, Crossy Road,
since it was free on mobile.
And Disney put a lot of marketing for that game back then.

Yeah, but still Crossy Roads didn't get a TV game show as Frogger did. Though I guess given Frogger was the first game to utilize Crossy Roads gameplay it be a hassle if they didn't.

Frogger is as iconic as Pac-Man, Arkanoid, or Space Invaders, I guess.
All I want is a mobile game of Frogger.
If Pac-Man, Arkanoid, or Space Invaders could have it, why couldn't Frogger.
Just kinda sad the role was filled with Crossy Road.

Did You Know That These Three Games are Trilogy?

(https://i.ibb.co/pzbDSqP/Berto-Mega-Drive-Disney-Collection.jpg)

Those three games are part of Emirin / Emiko Yamamoto's (a game designer and producer at Disney) Mega Drive's I Love ...(Disney) trilogy.
It's reflected on the Japanese Mega Drive's titles :

1. I Love Mickey Mouse: Fushigi no Oshiro Daibouken (aka Castle of Illusion in the west)
2. I Love Donald Duck: Guruzia Ou no Hihou (aka Quackshot in the west)
3. I Love Mickey and Donald: Fushigi na Magic Box (aka World of Illusion in the west).

Understandable that most of western gamers probably wouldn't know this due of the changing of the titles for the western version.

Happy 30 Years Anniversary for Fantasia !


(https://i.imgur.com/wF25kvY.jpg)

Quote
Unlike I Love Disney trilogy, Fantasia was developed by Infogrames.
The game was made as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration of Disney's 1940 film of the same name.
Reportedly Roy Disney was unaware that Disney's licensing department had given Sega the rights to produce a Fantasia game.
Roy had promised his late uncle, Walt Disney, not to give out licenses for Fantasia, and having learnt of the news, requested that Sega of America pull all copies of the game from sale and destroy them.
Sega were assured that this was the fault of Disney, and as well as being compensated for lost profits, were granted further licenses for Disney properties.
In the end, all but 5000 copies of Fantasia were recalled by Sega of America and destroyed.

Mick McGinty was an artist with unparalleled talent. Back when video games required enticing box art to sell, much like books often require captivating covers, Mick was one of the best around.
Mick created artwork for Street Fighter 2, Streets of Rage 2, Streets of Rage 3, Shining Force, Kid Chameleon, and more.
However, his talents weren’t even restricted to video game art, as he has a website dedicated to a whole host of other art, including breathtaking scenic landscapes.

No loss indeed, unless you're a fan of Star Wars or Space Harrier at that time.
Funnily enough, 32X was developed by SEGA of Japan to counter Atari Jaguar.
They really overestimated Atari.

It was first designed as console, but SEGA of America convinced them to make it an add-on...
since they can't say no, still wanted to push Genesis, and not ready to promote for a new console.
The damage would be greater if it was a new console.

The Steam Classic Collection only contains first party games with SEGA franchises.
Such a shame since SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis Mini contains many games from third parties and non SEGA franchises.

These New Sega Charging Mats Let You Wirelessly Charge Your Phone In Style

(https://i1.wp.com/images.nintendolife.com/5dda73b313583/1280x720.jpg)

Quote
There are seven designs available in total, with three consoles (Saturn, Dreamcast, Mega Drive), three controllers (the same three, naturally), and a more generic Sonic the Hedgehog design.
They all cost £19.99 / 19,44€ and are compatible with a range of wireless-enabled devices from the likes of Apple, Samsung, and Nokia. For peace of mind, they also feature a "non-slip rubber base" to keep them firmly in place on your desk.

Panorama Cotton, originally published in 1994, introduces a fresh, new gameplay design into the Cotton franchise. The “pseudo 3D” shoot ‘em up was considered a technical prodigy when it was released on the Mega Drive.
Panorama Cotton
will be available for digital download from the online store coming from ININ Games, and Strictly Limited Games (https://store.strictlylimitedgames.com/search?collection=all&type=product&x=0&y=0&q=cotton) as Limited and Collector’s Edition.

Lost Judgment is the closest we got to Master System Collection.
I mean.. the game has 12 SEGA Master System games in it.

1. Alex Kidd in Miracle World (1986)
2. Fantasy Zone (1986)
3. Penguin Land (1987)
4. Quartet (1987)
5. Enduro Racer (1987)
6. Woody Pop (1987)
7. Maze Hunter 3-D (1988)
8. Secret Command (1986)
9. Sagaia, also known as Darius 2 (1989, 1991)
10. Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa (1987)
11. Alien Syndrome (1987)
12. Global Defense (1987)

And it even has the closest to HotD game we got this year, Hama of the Dead (http://segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=4628).

LMAO, your funny comment reminded me of Garfield: Caught in the Act.
The game has a bonus whack-a-mole mini game that I played more than the main game itself.
The six button controller needed of course to enjoy the game fully since it has 6 holes.
It could be played imidiately from Option Menu without having played the main game.
It's like the game itself is a funny Garfield whack-a-mole and platformer levels added to it.

When my friends come and they want a quick game that could be played 5-10 minutes, I always pick this.
It always bring laughter since the whack-a-mole game supposed to be easy, but this one is not since the character that we can't hit is always changed everytime we started the game.

Same thing happened with Sonic and the Secret Rings.
I played the Party mode (contains many mini games that is similar to the Mario Party games) more than the main game itself.

It's funny when people prefer the side-game itself over the main game to the point the main game is just a side-bonus. But at the same time shows how marketable a game could be.

I mean heck I think the Fortnite we know today was the free version of a Fortnite game which had a story campaign that gives more lore to the purple storm or something.

It's why I think the next Sonic game needs an "Avatar Battle Mode". Because when players are done with the story and put the book back on the shelf then the online mode can be played indefinitely.

Definitely.
It'll be like PSO2 players who love to customize their characters more than playing the actual game.
At least my kids like that too.
They love to customize Buddy more than playing Sonic Forces.
And love to customize cars more than playing Team Sonic Racing.
The unlockable things that can be used to customize made them played the main game.

It’s a gorgeous game right from the get-go, as the first level begins with Cotton flying through the sky and slowing descending to fly along the ground.
Along the earth is a river which zigs and zags with glowing pastel colors, complete with rock formations you can fly under to grab bonus points.
Near the middle of the stage, the ground gives out to reveal a canyon, and you’ll fly down and straight into a waterfall, through a long corridor with several branching routes, before culminating in a boss fight.

While I am a F2Per I don't mind micro-transactions as long as it doesn't divide the Free-To-Players. PSO2 is pretty much the only MMOG I've played that didn't felt a great divide between Payers and F2Pers nor any superiority complex between the two. Plus if Avatar Battle Mode will have MMO hub areas (such as PSO2s lobby, shopping and café) then those servers will have costs for maintanance. So freemium transactions are suppose to cover that.

I can imagine Sonic Tokens (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Token) being reintroduce as the games Star Gems.

Other than that I can imagine Avatar Battle Mode and Sonic's game being seperate save for S-Ranks and Red Star Rings which might reward the Avatar. Avatar and Sonic's "bank (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Banking)" can probably be shared as well.

I've actually written extensive ideas on how "Avatar Battle Mode" can work ranging from it being standard competitive matches like Team Fortress 2 or a full on social MMOG like Phantasy Star Online 2.

Shared Sonic's bank sounds cool.

Red Star Rings... I kinda got tired of them now..
Collecting them in Sonic Color Ultimate just to be Super Sonic is kinda tiring for my age now.
That's not the case when I play Wii version back then, so I still think it's still appealing for the youngers.

What Sonic Forces did right with both S-Ranks and Red Star Rings was that they offered more rewards for them.

In previous Sonic games, getting S-Ranks and all the Red Star Rings was more of an accomplishment of talent than anything else. I can't recall if they unlock anything else. But in Forces if you finish a stage you get Avatar stuff. If you get an S-Rank you get better Avatar stuff. If you get Red Star Rings then even better Avatar stuff. It gave me more incentive to replay the stages and try harder even if the levels were piss easy. Sonic Forces has done some things right and actually rewarding for effort is one of them. So I'd say earning Red Star Rings will offer some Sonic Tokens for the player to but things for their Avatars. That or Red Star Rings are a currency to Avatars or something. That could work instead of Sonic Tokens, just Red Star Rings for more exclusive items.

Red Star Rings as a currency, that's what's on one (or more) of Sonic mobile games.
I forgot which one, Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom I think.

In Sonic Colors (both OG and Ultimate), getting Red Star Rings unlock a stage too.
A 2D stage with lego-like background, sometimes changing into 3D, called Game Land.
There are 21 stages of them.
7 are available in the beginning and the other 14 had to be cleared by getting about 10 Red Stars each.
The stages are kinda fun for me who prefer 2D Sonic over 3D Sonic, but I already played them in Wii version.

I think all of them uses red star rings as freemium currency. I wouldn't mind if Avatar Battle Mode did the same. Free red star rings could be given by actually playing the main game while additional red star rings could be purchased.

Well it shows reward for red star rings than just for achievements. If red star rings or S-ranks offer more rewards I'd be more interested in earning them. Oftem to me a B-rank is a good enough for me and move on to the next stage in order to enjoy the story.

I believe SEGA realizes this too... But whether they'll still use it on later Sonic games that's another matter.


Oftem to me a B-rank is a good enough for me and move on to the next stage in order to enjoy the story.

I'm already satisfied with D level if the level's frustating to play, lol, like one stage from Sonic Lost World (3DS) with suicide bombing penguins that always respawn. Not to metion that annoying Snowball of Doom.

But getting red rings from each level to trade it with rewards sure does add replayability a lot for the game.

Intellivision Entertainment Announces Amico Roadshow and Tour

(https://i.ibb.co/KbqFQ0G/Amico-Dolphin-Quest.jpg)

The Crayola Experience in Pennsylvania was so much fun that the kids and their parents didn’t want to put the game down.
We decided to extend the opportunity to a larger audience by hosting events in other cities,” said Dani Erdelatz, who leads consumer events at Intellivision.
“We are hoping to expand this roadshow to even more places in the future and getting Amico in the hands of even more families around the country.”

Quote
Every time it gets delayed, the hardware inside the Amico becomes more and more outdated compared to modern consoles and phones.
Past attempts at retro consoles and cheap Android-powered machines, like the Ouya, have consistently failed to make a splash once they reach retail shelves and consumers.
Even Valve’s attempt at a pseudo-console was a big flop.

Japan's Switch Online Service Gets The Six-Button Sega Mega Drive Controller

If you're located in Japan though and happen to be an NSO member, it seems you'll actually be able to get your hands on the six-button version of Sega's wireless GamePad.
While obviously, it's not the best news for Sega fans here in the west, it's not all that surprising, either.
When Sega released its Sega Mega Drive Mini locally in 2019, it did exactly the same thing - making the six-button gamepad exclusive to Japan.

Okay... if that deal is extended internationally then that will be a good incentive of me to get a Nintendo Switch next to Sonic exclusives for the Switch. Though if these japanese Mega Drive Switch controllers work universally then I'll try to get one off eBay.

Yes, it works universally.
Actually western version already got controller like this but made by third party from 8BitDo and Retro-Bit (officially licensed).
From original SEGA Genesis (with receiver) or for modern platform like PC, android, and Nintendo Switch.

(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/c/c5/ESoT_Album_US_Box_Front.jpg/240px-ESoT_Album_US_Box_Front.jpg)

"Segapocalypse!
Wave Master, the company that manages Sega's music, has contacted me and asked me to remove lots of albums related to Sega.
At the end of the day, over 500 albums were removed, including Sonic, OutRun, and others.
Unfortunately, this even included fan made compilation albums for games that have no commercial releases, which, quite frankly, makes absolutely no sense.
If you were wondering why some albums have disappeared on the site, this is why."

Intellivision Is Selling NFT Games For A Console That Ain't Even Out Yet

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cc/Intellivision_Amico_Controller.gif)

Quote
While the console has missed its latest release window, it seems Intellivision is still interested in offering people a chance to buy games for the console.
Announced in a video today, Intellivision is now selling collections of physical games for the Amico.
Well, sort of. What is in the box is an RFID card which can be used with your Amico (one day) to unlock access to whatever game is connected to that card.
Each of these games you purchase and download through the RFID card is tied to an NFT that itself is part of a blockchain

Review: Gleylancer (Switch) - 9 of 10 - A Brilliant 16-Bit Shmup Sparkles With Mod Cons

(https://i.redd.it/ml0k5jp2qp831.png)

Quote
A separate “Cheater’s mode” is available for those who want to use it, granting access to the classic level-skipping, invincibility-toggling cheat menu that was already present in the original game without having to perform any finger twisting input codes.
And if that all sounds either too easy or too different for comfort, the original Japanese version of the game is never more than a few button presses away, unsullied by modern tweaks, translations, and other conveniences.

Nip cover.
Something like protagonist from "Neta Chara Kari Play No Tsumori Ga Isekai Shoukan" manga used.

Feature: How United Games Entertainment Is Bridging The Gap Between Japan And The West

(https://i.ibb.co/PmTBGMS/Mega-Turrican-Director-s-Cut.jpg)

Quote
SLG isn't the only company that is operating in the market when it comes to physical releases – how does your approach differ from that of your rivals?

DM: It is very important to give a stage to all these great games and to support their preservation for the generations to come, so every rival helps to achieve this.
But we also work hard to make things different by going the extra mile just for the sake of providing the best possible result.
Let’s take Turrican Flashback for example. The game is available through ININ in retail, but what we will deliver to the fans who bought their version from SLG will be very much a different experience.
Due to some unexpected delays that we experienced and which unfortunately were beyond our control, we decided to use the additional time for adding new features.

Book review: The SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Encyclopedia

(https://i.ibb.co/HCd17q5/SEGA-Mega-Drive-and-Genesis-Encyclopedia.jpg)

Quote
Former CVG and Official Nintendo Magazine scribe Chris Scullion turns to the dark side for his third exhaustive unofficial encyclopedia, taking us on a tour of not just the entire western SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis catalogue, but the Mega CD and 32X as well.
As someone more than familiar with the Mega Drive library, it was a delight to find it peppered with tidbits of knowledge, such as SEGA Sports’ NFL 97 heading to Saturn and skipping the Genesis, only to return to the 16-bit console the following year.
When it comes to the sports games, in particular, it’s clear Scullion went out of his way to make each entry a worthwhile read – a task far harder than it may sound.

The game's funny, could make us smile while playing it, so I guess the original TV series took the same approach too, funny on. I'd try to watch them later.

Rebalance and Script Touch-up Patch for Super Hydlide Released

(https://64.media.tumblr.com/06254e68646c14ad3e571ef8136ba2bc/tumblr_pg7eb4NaOJ1sdk28ko1_640.jpg)

Quote
Have you ever attempted to experience the action-RPG Hydlide 3, or its Genesis port Super Hydlide? Perhaps you fell to the first enemy you encountered, before you’d even taken in your surroundings, or wondered why your vital properties were rapidly dwindling with nary a hint from the villagers?

Raise your head and fear no longer that sorry state of affairs, as an Improvement Hack has descended to ease your burdens. Gone are the worries of being befuddled by that deceitful language ‘Engrish’, and its foul sister language ‘Typo’. Some lesser visual abnormalities were vanquished, and journey’s end shall now be found to be more rewarding. Refined clues should provide hope to the lost, as well.

Is that not enough?! But nay, there is more! If one so chooses, there is a separate path that leads to a less-arduous journey, with myriad nuisances tempered along the way. Here, equipment has been modified to be more sensible and useful, and foes should provide a reasonable challenge without instilling despair. Where once one could be laid low by basic human necessity, a more reasonable chance of subsistence has been provided. Be warned that though the early part of your journey shall be substantially more tolerable, the coward’s path to overcoming the final obstacle has been closed off, necessitating mastery of one’s resources.

This act of divine providence has been supplied by Mentil, who has toiled alone the previous six weeks in its glorious creation. Go forth ye, and partake in its fruits.

Five SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive Games Get Added to Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXJPxi2wopM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXJPxi2wopM)

Quote
These five games are Altered Beast, Toejam & Earl, Sword of Vermilion, Thunder Force II, and Dynamite Headdy.
Out of the five games, Thunder Force II is probably the most notable, as it was skipped over in favor of its two sequels Thunder Force III and Thunder Force IV with stuff like the SEGA Genesis Mini or the SEGA AGES series, until now.

Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack: How to use suspend points with N64 and Sega Genesis games

Quote
A suspend point is a function where you can save, or suspend, your game at a specific moment.
That way, if you get a game over or close the game, you can pick up exactly where that suspend point was created.
While most N64 and Sega Genesis games have save points, some can be inconvenient.

We called it "Sepak Bola" actually,
no one uses the words "Football" or "Soccer" here.

But those "Pre Evolution Soccers" game series that very popular here
(all of Playstation rentals here have them)
made "soccer" word more popular than "football".

    Improved gameplay removing delays and improving the whole timing.

    Option to change between original Music order or a more accurate one.

And MUCH more…

Newly Translated 1993 Interview with Yuji Naka, Yu Suzuki, and Kan Naito

(https://i.gifer.com/9WKS.gif)

Quote
Beep: Do you yourself play video games?

Suzuki: No, I don’t. That always disappoints people (laughs). For example, we had a new employee join us, and he had spent something like ¥200,000 on Outrun. He came up to me all nervous and said, “Mr.- Mr. Suzuki? Wh- what kind of games do you like?” So, I replied, “Sorry, I don’t really play games,” and he was like, “O- Oh…” (laughs). But yeah, I don’t play many games. I like to make them. I’m so busy with the things I’m working on.

- Unreleased Sega Mega Drive port of the arcade game by Atari Games. Port developed and published by Tengen.
- Was shown for the first time at the Winter CES of 1992, and then shown again at the Summer CES that same year.
- Cancelled for unknown reasons, however the game would appear on the SNES in late 1992 developed by another studio.
- Source code for this port was recently discovered, but possibly incomplete. This comes from an original EPROM cartridge.

Quote
Unreleased beat em up game based on the 1993 comic series of the same name.
The game was never announced, referenced, or hinted at in any magazine or tradeshow event and remains a mystery.
This build in particular is most likely a prototype meant for pitching the game to potential publishers.

When you think about the video game industry - there are certain individuals who have paved the way for the rest.
On the Nintendo front, one of the first people that comes to mind is the creator of Super Mario, Shigeru Miyamoto.
Soon, he'll be joined by Mortal Kombat's co-creator, Ed Boon, who has just been selected as The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences 25th Hall of Fame recipient and will be honored at the 25th annual D.I.C.E Awards next month.

Dragon Ball Z - Buyuu Retsuden (Mega Drive) gets an Android 18 Improved Sprite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii_hMjprrfo

Quote
While most of the characters are carefully designed and look more than good enough, Android 18 art in the 16 bit era (not just Mega Drive) is somehow dull.
While Dragon Ball games in later generation consoles present a more stylized look, closer to the source material, the 16 bit era had to settle with barely recognizable art.
This new hack for Dragon Ball Z: Buyuu Retsuden by KanonZombie replaces every animation frame with their counterparts from Extreme Butoden for the Nintendo 3DS.

SEC filing shared on the firm's website earlier this week suggests that it has made no revenue since its resurrection in 2018 and may not be able to operate beyond July of this year (thanks, GI.biz).
The filing goes through the various risks associated with investing in a firm like Intellivision.
The fact that any investment carries an inherent degree of risk is perhaps obvious, but other parts of the filing shed a light on the company's current predicament.
The Amico was been delayed three times (the original launch was supposed to happen in October 2020) and, as of February 2022, the console still doesn't have a solid launch date.

Former Konami composer Motoaki Furukawa – who composed music for the likes of Snatcher, Sunset Riders, Metal Gear and Salamander – is being sued by the Japanese studio hired to work on his TwinBee spiritual successor.
The cause of the problem is the game Steam Pilots, developed by Japanese outfit Pixel. Steam Pilots was crowdfunded to the tune of more than 10 million yen (roughly $86,000), but is unlikely to see release.

I'm not surprise. While "future shock" is a sci-fi term, I imagine those awakened from long term coma would probably experiance the same thing. Though it would go further for Uncle given his isekei adventure.

Also, does the uncle have a name?

Yes, it's Shibazaki Yousuke.
But he doesn't give his name until chapter 30 or so in the manga since he has trust issue.
Before he only gave everyone he met fake names from SEGA games he played.
One of the fake names' example is Kuroki Tenma from Alien Soldier (Mega Drive).

Yes, it's Shibazaki Yousuke.
But he doesn't give his name until chapter 30 or so in the manga since he has trust issue.
Before he only gave everyone he met fake names from SEGA games he played.
One of the fake names' example is Kuroki Tenma from Alien Soldier (Mega Drive).

I'm curious of the story between these two. I recall a page you showed me where they have wedding rings so I pressume they're married.

I'm curious of the story between these two. I recall a page you showed me where they have wedding rings so I pressume they're married.

It's a misunderstanding.
The ring was given by uncle as a reward,
but Sui (the elf girl) misinterpret it,
because when uncle gave it he put it in the her finger.

(https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/awB125R_700b.jpg)

Before moving into uncle and Sui's relationship...
I had to inform that human race in the isekai world have a handsome or pretty faces.
Everyone of them.
Kinda like a hollywood movie.
Meanwhile Uncle who has an ugly face,
is considered to have an orc-like face by the people of Isekai world.

That's why in the beginning, he always being treated harshly
which make the manga's kinda depressing to read at the beginning chapters.
He always mistakenly seen as an orc, not as a human.

Because of his "ugly" (by isekai world standard) face,
uncle never dreamed he had any chance with girls,
let alone a girl as beautiful as Sui.
It never crossed his mind, not even once.
He didn't realize that elves is a race that could live hundred or thousand years.
something like a face is just a trivial matter for them.

The misunderstanding about the ring was finally resolved later,
which angered Sui and she became bitter and ruder ever since.
This is a scene after Sui knows uncle gave a ring to someone else too :

Perhaps a bit too much spoilers there... but that's fine.

I guess Uncle had self-image issues as a child... though his Isekei would may not be a creation of his imagination, just generic isekei tropes like handsome and sexy people being the norm in medieval times when in truth medieval times were dirty and ugly, even by beauty standards of the time.

Still elves are tip-top sexy in fantasy media so I hope Uncle makes an aunt out of Sue.

Another "Bad movies I actually like" confession, I loved the Double Dragon movie and if we ever get a Streets of Rage movie I hope it will take some pages from it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9escFiqUJ0U

I mean, don't get me wrong, if we ever get a Strets of Rage movie then Miami Vice and Kurt Russels action movies should be the basis of it, just Double Dragon movie had that mid-90s urban "action-campy" vibe to it that I believe the original Streets of rage movies were trying to emulate.

It’s worth noting all three games were technically previously released on the SEGA Genesis Mini, albeit Alien Soldier was exclusive to the Asian (Korean and Chinese) market.
But the lineup is still a solid reveal regardless, especially since Alien Soldier and Super Fantasy Zone are expensive on third-hand markets.

Release Date for Genesis-inspired Style Freedom Planet Sequel, Freedom Planet 2, Finally Revealed : September 13th

Quote
To differentiate itself from its inspirations, Freedom Planet 2 brings changes to character designs.
The characters in the original game, while differentiated, are still somewhat Sonic-like given its origins as a fangame.
The sequel takes on its own style and uses higher-resolution sprites to create more detailed characters and separate itself from the heavily Genesis-inspired style of its predecessor.

I've played  abit of Landstalker. D-pad controls are a bit confusing with isometric. Maybe I should stop using my PlaySega pad to play these Mega Drive games with.

This could be a solution...

This is the original control improvement patch done by M.I.J.E.T. It works as it should.
Please note that Pennywise wasn’t the person who actually created this hack. The original author has made this hack available to the public on an as-is basis. No further support for this hack is offered.
Controls now as follows:

Up = Up-left
Right = Up-right
Down = Down-right
Left = Down-left

Yes, it's Shibazaki Yousuke.
But he doesn't give his name until chapter 30 or so in the manga since he has trust issue.
Before he only gave everyone he met fake names from SEGA games he played.
One of the fake names' example is Kuroki Tenma from Alien Soldier (Mega Drive).

Uncle From Another World (Isekai Ojisan) anime adaptation is scheduled for a July premiere date in Japan

Quote
In the trailer, Takafumi asks Uncle what his friends in the other world were like, and Uncle remarks on the verbal abuse he received from one of his companions (shown to be a female elf).
Takafumi realizes that the elf was just being tsundere.
Unfortunately for Uncle, tsundere was a character concept that only really hit the pop culture mainstream around 2004, long after he had had departed to the other world.

And it's still second samurai.
Third samurai would be riding a modern motorcycle!
Oh wait... that's already be done.

Snow Bros. is a classic platform game that was first released as an arcade game in 1990 by Toaplan, a Japanese development studio that was mainly famous for their shoot ‘em up games. Critically acclaimed Snow Bros. later released for several consoles and home computers. Being well-liked by players, Snow Bros. spawned a sequel on arcade. Snow Bros. gained cult status as a sought-after retro game after having been dormant since the 90’s.

30 years later it’s time for the heroes Nick and Tom to return in a modern interpretation with the title Snow Bros. Special coming to Nintendo Switch later this. Snow Bros. Special has inherited the cute design and the feeling from the original arcade version, but has been upgraded to make it even more fun. The game can be played by two players at the same time.

Those who’ve played Ys III before would know it as the black sheep of the series, due to its side-scrolling viewpoint and notorious difficulty and grindyness.
This rebalance hack aims to improve the game to be less tedious and unfair, for the port often considered to be the best overall.

In rare interview, Monkey Island designers tell Ars about long-awaited Return
The new title will eschew pixel art, embrace hint systems.

Quote
One change that many fans have already noted, just from the game's short teaser trailer, is the move away from the distinctive pixel art style of the first Monkey Island games. Gilbert said that "the one kind of negative thing was, probably because of that article that I wrote, a lot of people expected [the new game] to be pixel art... that article set some unrealistic expectations, and pixel art is one of them."

For the first two Monkey Island games, Gilbert said, what is now a beloved retro-tinged style is just what was possible with hardware at the time. "We weren't doing pixel art; we were just doing art," he said. "So it's not like I have a long string of pixel games under my belt."

Quote
We were very careful not to express the violence in a way that was gory or over-the-top. If anything, it was really pretty dampened.
Every time you crashed the bike, for example, you got back up and ran back to it. But even in that first pitch, I was describing this idea that the crashes were exaggerated and part of the entertainment value.
Some of the feedback I got after we finished the project, people would talk about laughing about some of the situations they would get into because the nature of the gameplay was concentrating on what’s coming down the road, but then there’s something beside you that you have to pay attention to.
That’s what takes your attention away from what you’re doing down the road.
So, it’s this context switching between these two things that actually made the game work.

Not fancy of the official Battletoads remake from 2020?
How about an unofficial fan-made project  Russian game developers who promise to carefully transfer to 3D all the elements of the original game, all characters, boss enemies and all 7 levels with all mechanics?
Visit their official website of the project to get acquainted with the available developments, and possibly join the project.

The stage is large and filled with many different objects and activities that the player can activate. The Dolphin can swim, leap, and communicate with other dolphins and whales using sonar. The sonar can also bring up a map that displays part of the stage along with all creatures in the vicinity.
The sonar isn’t limited to communication and maps, it can be used to “grab” and move things around. This ability appears to be a core mechanic of the game.

"Friends of mine in the U.S., who are very close friends with the Lee family, have basically said that any kind of resemblance to Mr. Bruce Lee is now omitted for comedic effect," stated Lindholm. "It needs to be honorable."
"That's why we won't see Fei Long again. Ever," continued Lindholm. "It's a cool character type, but then you have Yun and these other guys from Street Fighter 3 to fill that void."

History: 1995’s almost like a return of the 1982 Atari Shock" for SEGA, Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, etc

(https://i.gifer.com/1IXF.gif)

Quote
There was a huge decline in 16-bit sales in the year 1995, with one industry expert even saying “It’s almost like a return of the 1982 Atari Shock".
SEGA has not been the only company to suffer. One large software company stated, “There is not a single company that has been able to turn a profit in the European market.”
In the fiscal period ending in March 1995, Konami took an extraordinary loss of ¥11.6 billion due to clearing out unsold inventory.
During the same period, Capcom took a loss of ¥7.5 billion after writing down the value of its American subsidiary, and in the mid-year period ending in September 1995, Nintendo also took a loss of ¥9.8 billion after doing the same with its American subsidiary.
This fiscal year, SEGA is taking an extraordinary loss of ¥26 billion due to the downsizing of its American and European subsidiaries and due to the disposal of unsold inventory.

SEGA Mega Drive 2 MINI - 20 of the 50+ games are MEGA CD games

M2 asked that they narrow down the included number of MCD games to something more manageable;
Okunari asked "what do you think you can handle?" & they said "around 15 games",
and then he asked "what if you go all out?" & they said "20..." so he was immediately like "20 it is"
...so, it's confirmed that 20 of the 50+ games are MCD games—any more than that and they'd be at it for the rest of time
unlike, say, the PC Engine CD which is basically just a CD drive and not much else, the MCD has a second CPU & other extra hardware that have to be emulated

I bet SEGA themself are surprised on how well received their MD Mini. GG Micro, and Astro City Mini in Japan.
Japanese market was really different compared to international market.
For example, even though Sonic fans are few in Japan (compared to Sakura Wars, Phantasy Star Online, or Yakuza fans), most of them seem quite pleased with Sonic Frontiers trailer, saying they always wanted a change like this and it reminds them of Sonic Adventure (popular over there). They're kinda excited for the game.

I bet SEGA themself are surprised on how well received their MD Mini. GG Micro, and Astro City Mini in Japan.
Japanese market was really different compared to international market.
For example, even though Sonic fans are few in Japan (compared to Sakura Wars, Phantasy Star Online, or Yakuza fans), most of them seem quite pleased with Sonic Frontiers trailer, saying they always wanted a change like this and it reminds them of Sonic Adventure (popular over there). They're kinda excited for the game.

Never heard of this game, but given the title and the picture I'm imagining it's about someone hunting the animals of Noah's ark has to run. Though the gorilla may have sided with them due to we humans are apes too.

They're actually saving the animals from the illegal hunters and evil poachers,
that's why the animals (gorilla included) have sided with them after you save them.
(though I'm sure that's now how it work in real life)

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-lKiQNdfEZo/TNiOP7R3fQI/AAAAAAAAA80/ONcKAaCjxtU/s1600/0010.png)

It's a beat em up game (like Streets of Rage or Final Fight) and kinda funny.
After you free the animals, some animals will help you to defeat enemies.
For example the deers will running and attacking the enemies after you free them.

Or after freeing dinosaurs. (Well, too bad they are not in the game)

Treasure might have made games for the hardcore devotee, but in actuality, their games are playable by anyone.
All that’s needed is the patience to learn the systems that differ so much from what many gamers were used to in more traditional takes on the genres Treasure was tackling.
Radiant Silvergun begins as a very difficult, very complicated game: give it the time it deserves, however, and the systems not only make sense, but reveal themselves to be both elegant and rewarding.

SEGA's Virtua Racing - Battle of the Home Ports!

Quote
Virtua Racing was Sega's first foray into 3D graphics, following over a decade's worth of pseudo-3D offerings (starting with Turbo) with 2D sprites scaling in real time.
Almost everything in Virtua Racing is rendered with flat-shaded quadrilateral polygons, which means track designs are more complex than in prior Sega racers.
The physics model, however, is not dissimilar to earlier games such as Power Drift - it is impossible to destroy your car, and the only penalty for driving off-road is a significant speed decrease.

The History of Sega's Cyber Police ESWAT - Arcade console documentary

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ESWAT_mockup1-600x410.jpg)

Quote
Sega’s ESWAT, like many ’80s arcade games, spread from the desire to create a game based off of a movie without actually buying the license.
In this case, it’s heavily influenced by the 1987 action classic RoboCop, whose arcade rights were owned by Data East (and actually pumped out a relatively decent title.)
After all, who wouldn’t want to play as a robot shooting up criminals?

A chance encounter with a mysterious girl named Sulia sets Terry Bogard in a race to prevent the reincarnation of a god!
Sulia's brother Laocorn is out to collect the six shards of the Armor of Mars, which would grant him untold power if it were completed.
The artifact belonged to their ancestor, Gaudeamus, said to be the man who finally stopped Alexander the Great's conquest, but was killed himself soon after.
With the power of the armor, Laocorn could turn back the tides of history and take revenge, conquering all that stands in his way.
Already possessing three pieces of the armor, Sulia's brother is way ahead of Terry, and what's more, he'll have to go through Laocorn's minions, each powerful in their own right!
Will he be able to defeat Laocorn and stop the rebirth of the god of war?

In a teaser video, all there is an odd sound clip that lasts for about eight seconds.
Some are saying it kind of sounds like a Dolphin... leading to calls for Ecco the Dolphin to return, but we'll try not to speculate here as it could be for anything.

Happy Birthday Super Street Fighter II (Mega Drive) !

28 years ago today, the first fighting game that emphasize more on combos was released in Japan.
It was also widely known as one of the biggest carts ever produced for both Super Famicom (30 MEG) and Sega Mega Drive (40 MEG).

Well, yeah. More often's not working too for most of people.

That's why it feels satisfying when it's working.
I tried asking it what it thinks the next Sega console would look like and came up with slightly twisted versions of Sega Saturns.

Isn't Paperboy a Nintendo game? I know this because I remember that episode of Captain N: The Game Master.

Actually it's an arcade game.
Ported to many consoles including PC, NES, and Mega Drive.

(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/cf/3d/b3/cf3db30ecdfb5bf90e4c3d27c513d094---games-news-games.jpg)

Captain N has many characters from third party games (Mega Man, Castlevania) so it's no wonder if other third party game characters show up as long as the franchise owner allowed it.

I know not many people liked Captain N due to it's "inaccuracies" to the games they were based on, but if you take Captain N as a parody of those games it's a rather enjoyable show... for a Nintendo TV show.

It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck.
His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island.
Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’.

Alien Soldier - Ammo Regen Hack

This is a simple patch to add an ammo regen feature to Alien Soldier for the Sega Genesis.
How it works: After every second passes on the in game timer, a small amount of ammunition is restored across all four weapons in Epsilon-Eagle’s arsenal.
This hack also accounts for if the player increases the ammo cap for any particular weapon and checks for the new cap accordingly.

Joys :
Historically significant package of three
A series imbued with some novel ideas that were impressive for 1994
For those with saintly patience, there’s a big campaign to work through

Cons :
An aged, tedious FPS that doesn’t dazzle the way it once did
A lacklustre, anaemic package, lacking features to enhance the experience
The co-op mode originally available on the Mega Drive is completely absent

Everyone knows this game due to being one of the earliest games that brought up controversy of indecency and violence in video games... and me learning the extensive lore over "augers". Augers being the enemies in the game, being who are sort of like semi-turned vampires who live in a suffering existence and must use tools to extract blood given they have the vamperic need for blood but not the dark powers to obtain it. You'd think Sega would do more with augers.

Well I still think augers are pretty cool concept. Victims who are only half-turned vampires and live in a state of suffering and reliant on vampires for blood or have to collect it themselves with weird tools. The Martin's who are actually vampires pity them is if they were vampires with disabilities and allows them to feed on the girls in the house.

Yeah, it's cool concept and refreshingly new.
And thank God they changed the concept mid in the game.
The initial idea wasn't like that.
At first it's a "Scene of the Crime"-like to an extreme with a billionaire leaving an extremely large sum of money alone in a large house, guarded by a state-of-the-art security system.
In this concept, the billionaire's daughter is staying at the house with her teenage friends when the house is attacked by ninja burglars who are attempting to steal the money.
Through much deliberation, the game evolved into the final augers concept.

Heck yeah augers is a much better concept. I like to imagine augers also suffer decay or their flesh is falling off and the ninja costumes are actually means to "hold them together". I think it's a confirmed thing in the game.

I dunno, they can keep it cheap. I imagine Night Trap augers looking like zombies under those ninja outfits. That they need those outfits to keep their flesh from deteriorating and falling off. And those devices they use to siphon blood is because while they're vamperic in nature they are unable to bite their victims. Augers still have physical powers though over stealth and limited agility but looks near-human in comparison to what true vampires can do.

The other alternative is CGI which was more expensive, lol.
But with that kind of idea, it'll be wasted on FMV games.
It needed to be an action game like Ooze or Ghostbuster.

Unlike the prequel, this one is kinda fun to play.

SEGA Genesis Mini 2 will be in much shorter supply (around one-tenth) than original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8RGornqWgw

Quote
My questions about Genesis Mini 2 shipments were forwarded to Sega of Japan's corporate office, which eventually confirmed that the new miniaturized console was a "Japan-only project" for the company.
"The Sega Genesis Mini 2 could only be produced in small numbers due to the global semiconductor shortage," reads a letter from the Sega president's office, so the company opted to produce a small Western batch of Genesis Mini 2s alongside its order of Mega Drive Mini 2s.
"The number of units for this project makes up around one-tenth of the total for the previous Genesis Mini," the letter states.

It's sequel.
The gameplay has changed though from VS Figting to beat 'em ups.
Unlike the prequel, this one is kinda fun to play.

Even if it has sequel it'd be hard sell if they still kept the outdated gameplay.
They should change it like Shaq Fu Reborn.

If you made a sequel to Night Trap, how would you go about it?

Like Judgment probably.
But more mystery solving (related to augers) and less fighting.
The detective probably is a woman too to add fan service scene to the game.
Or may be friends / clients of the detective could serve the role.

Bonanza Bros Look-alike "Spy Bros." (Pipi & Bibi’s DX) is Coming To Switch and PC

Pipi & Bibi’s (also known as Whoopee in Japan) is an arcade video game developed and published by TOAPLAN in 1991.
This game did not reach the fame of other TOAPLAN creations (such as Truxton, Zero Wing, or Snow Bros.), probably because of its erotic motifs, which caused many arcades to refuse to buy and exhibit this game in their shops.
This remaster is being directed by Pablo Navarro, CEO and programmer at RAWRLAB Games.
It will include many improvements over the original game to make it more fun for fans of the original who want to relive their memories, and for those looking to try out this classic game first-hand.

If I made a Night Trap sequel, I'll probably make it similar to Five Nights At Freddy's but with active content but like Night Trap you're surveilling an on going story. Doesn't have to be about a girls slumber party, there can be three levels, an apartment, an office building and the old Martin House. The player must protect the inhabitants from mysterious ninja-like assailants  with strange blood-draining tools all the while you learn of a conspiracy involving vampires and augers.

Five Nights at Freddy-like sounded cool too.
Sometimes I wonder.
For some people who had played it, which one is memorable aspect of this game : the girls slumber party thing or augers thing?
The former's probably for those who hadn't played it but what about for those who had played it?

I've only seen play through on it on YouTube but I'd have to say it's the slumber party. I mean, how many people even know those intruders are called augers or even bother to pay attention to the story to learn about what's going on? Which to be fair I can't blame them given a bunch of augers intrude the house while the girls sing the titular theme.

They say everybody could be bi if they met the right person.
It's just human's lives are too short to find one or to commit to one person so they'll never find out whether it's true or not.

What's Street Smarts?

It's one of the early arcade VS fighting game, long before Street Fighter II came and redefined the genre.
Genesis version is a port from the arcade version.
The characters are at least smart enough to impress the girls with their fighting.
There's always new girl came to him after the fight ended and in the end he kinda date all of them.

I find that it's not about how short your life is but how it is structured. For example I find my life a bit too vanilla and my mindset keeps me bounded to it, as in concern over consequences and family expectations over trying to be more experimental and adventurous.

Well, that's a factor too. Culture and environment too.

Ah no. This one is made by SNK, who would be later known with Fatal Fury and King of Fighter series.

SEGA's still the pioneer though.
Their "Heavyweight Champ" (1976) was the first VS fighting game ever made.

15 SNES Games That Were Better On Sega Genesis

(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ParchedJovialBittern-max-1mb.gif)

Quote
The Genesis version of Mickey Mania is better than the SNES version in just about every significant performance category.
It boasts better resolution, better animations, and, most importantly of all, doesn’t suffer from the bizarre load times that plague the SNES version of the game.
What’s really strange is that the Genesis version of this game also features new and extended levels not found in the SNES version.
I assume that there were some technical/development problems that prevented those levels from appearing in the SNES version, though I’m not sure why the Super Nintendo struggled so much with this particular game.

Party Quiz Mega Q 2022 was the idea of Miyazaki, who loved the original & declared that the last thing he wanted to do before retirement was write all the new questions.
He wrote all 3200 questions himself & M2 had to expand the ROM to fit em all, as the OG could only hold 3000 Qs

What if the Mega Drive had sprite scaling? It is the software which challenged the history.
The 3D shooting game released at the same time as the launch of Mega Drive has been revived with new technology to make it more like an arcade game.
The original first "Space Harrier", which was said to be impossible to faithfully port on a normal Mega Drive, finally ported with new powers too.
This first Space Harrier is an "extra bonus" software that can be selected from the "Space Harrier II" menu.

This version's titled Futari de Puyo Puyo Sun & is restricted to 2P matches; as they kinda expected, they simply ran out of time to finish the port.
With 1 month to go, they realized they wouldn't be done by master up, but the core game was done & it would've been a shame to shelve it.

Uncle has just bought "SEGA Mega Drive" with his income as a YouTuber.

Earlier today, Sega confirmed that the miniature console will launch on October 27, the same day as Japan and the US.
This comes alongside pre-orders for the console going live. However, it’s only available via Amazon and is priced at £104.99.
This makes it £35 more expensive than the first Mega Drive Mini, which launched at £69.99.

Did You Know That These Three Games are Trilogy?

(https://i.ibb.co/pzbDSqP/Berto-Mega-Drive-Disney-Collection.jpg)

Those three games are part of Emirin / Emiko Yamamoto's (a game designer and producer at Disney) Mega Drive's I Love ...(Disney) trilogy.
It's reflected on the Japanese Mega Drive's titles :

1. I Love Mickey Mouse: Fushigi no Oshiro Daibouken (aka Castle of Illusion in the west)
2. I Love Donald Duck: Guruzia Ou no Hihou (aka Quackshot in the west)
3. I Love Mickey and Donald: Fushigi na Magic Box (aka World of Illusion in the west).

Understandable that most of western gamers probably wouldn't know this due of the changing of the titles for the western version.

The Full Story Behind Sega Channel, Sega's Precursor To Game Pass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTcIqsFEQNk

Quote
Time Warner's technology lead Andy Rifkin said, "Everybody inside Sega US was incredibly cooperative, but when it came to Sega of Japan, they were kind of reluctant to share things with us. So sometimes we had to back-engineer things.
They kept a lot of things very, very close. And they didn’t want to share.
It was a challenge, but mostly it was a challenge because there were very many versions of the same unit that had different technical features that we had to emulate, so the box needed to work on a wide variety of platforms so we wouldn’t have to worry about which version it plugged into."

How renting Story of Thor proved harder than finishing the actual game

(https://c.tenor.com/_lNwuaNFEOYAAAAC/beyond-oasis-the-story-of-thor.gif)

Quote
I replayed the start of Story of Thor. A lot.
There may have been four save files but seemingly no one (other than me) cared about the previous player.
Having played it again recently, I think I actually prefer the early stages compared to later on anyway.

In an era between the Middle Ages and the early modern period, the demons have grown in power by feeding on the evil ambitions of the people.
Led by a being known as The Destroyer they plan their attack.
The angel Wor stands up for the survival of the entire tribe, and heads to Iccus to prevent the spread of the evil spirit.
Take control of Wor and shoot down every grotesque enemy in your path.
Defeat the demon boss at the end of each area to advance onward.

"In one of the games, there is a section when you had to lift Moses over your head, and carry him to the end of the level, where presumably, he is tossed into an ark-trash chute, off screen.
The way you lose in the Baby Moses game is by dropping Moses in the river which feels a little morbid for a game that is presumably aimed at children.
Not only have you just drown a baby, but you've doomed the Jews. Nice going, kid."

On the cyber world of Thraxx, Havok has returned.
After 10.000 years of peace, the Fireblade, source of power for the ancient Bladeknights, has shattered.
The night burned red, and the people of the Undercity fell beneath the onslaught of Havok's nightmare creations.
Helpness, the Bladeknights died alongside their people.
Only one of their order survived.

You play Hiro, the last of the Bladeknights, a hi-tech warrior armed with steaith, cunning and a powerful reprogrammable cyber-arm.
You must enter the Undercity and reassemble the sixteen fragments of the shattered Fireblade.
Only then will you be able to take on Havok and average the death of your people.

Final pre-order run of Analogue Mega SG coming on Oct. 28th

(https://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/mega-sg-03-750x482.jpg)

Quote
In case you don’t know or you forgot, the Analogue Mega SG is Analogue’s FPGA clone of the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive system, which originally launched in 2019.
It can play your Sega Genesis game cartridges, using original Sega Genesis controllers, and can even connect to an original Sega CD/Mega-CD add-on and run CD games.
It also comes with it’s own adaptor for Sega Master System game cartridges included for free, but there are also extra adaptors for SG-1000, Mark III, Sega Card, and Game Gear games sold separately.
The main takeaway is that the Mega SG is the most feature rich Genesis clone console ever developed and the most accurate to original hardware so far.
It can run all of your Sega games in full 1080p over HDMI and has lots of options for power users to tune the audio and video to their liking. The same goes ...

Crusader of Centy trivia,
from someone who'd know:

"If you talk to the Cheetah pre-race, you can pay them 50 malins to go easy on you."

"During dev, our designer lady still couldn't win, so you can keep bribing him to drop his speed up to 4 times, making him laughably slow"

Quote
The protagonist of the game is a muscular, loincloth-wearing, Tarzanesque tribesman named Toki (JuJu in the Japanese version), who up until recently lived a primitive yet contented life in the jungles of a vast and wild island in the South Seas.
This all ends tragically when the beautiful Wanda (Miho in the Japanese version), princess of Toki's tribe of jungle men and potential suitor to Toki, is kidnapped by the genetic engineer Dr. Stark (the witch doctor Vookimedlo in the Japanese version).
Wanda is taken to a vast golden palace at the summit of the island, which Vookimedlo has conjured up for himself to reside in.

Toki himself is transformed into a Geeshergam, one of the ape-like minions of Dr. Stark.
Fortunately, the great warrior discovers that he is still in control of his own faculties and as an unexpected side effect of the spell cast on him, he can breathe fire and shoot forth various projectiles from his mouth.
Toki then sets off on a quest to pursue and defeat Dr. Stark, rescue the princess Wanda, and undo the curse which has befallen the island.

(https://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screenshot-2022-11-30-213418.png)

Quote
While we don’t know how far along in development this, as of now, untitled game is, Koshiro-san makes it clear this is being made in the spirit of actual official Genesis releases from the 90’s and 80’s and that it will be his first time composing music for a new Genesis game since Beyond Oasis from 1994. (Known as The Story of Thor outside North America).
Hear more about Koshiro-san’s intentions ...

Episode 12 STORY

Ojisan receives a request to defeat a "singing monster" and heads for the forest. He discovers a huge monster and attacks to defeat it, but it turns out to be Mabel, who lives a self-sufficient life in the forest.
The giant ice sculpture she had erected to keep people away and Mabel's singing voice had somehow become feared as a "singing monster.

Mabel was so pleased by the praise of her singing voice that she proposed to sing a song from Ojisan's home.
The delighted Ojisan teaches Mabel his favorite song.

I was wondering, you know how we had a bit of a "Sega Renaissance" the last few years? such as Streets of Rage 4, Panzer Dragoon, Alex Kidd, The House of the Dead and Kinda Funky Newsflash?

I was wondering if you knew of any other remakes or sequels of Sega Classics in the works.

Quote
Do your kids actually know and play your old games?

Ayano Koshiro: We bought them a Mega Drive Mini a few years ago and they didn't want to play Streets of Rage 2.
They played Puyo Puyo.
They don't even read my husband's manga!
Hitoshi Ariga: I wonder why they're not interested in the stuff we do. But that's okay. (laughs)

"They Just Didn't Offer Us The Project" - Why Streets Of Rage 3 Is The Black Sheep Of The Family

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FnMz0_sXgAEtWFF?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Amazingly, despite the critical and commercial success of SOR2, only one Koshiro was invited back to work on the third outing – and that was Yuzo on musical duties alongside Motohiro Kawashima), not Ayano.
She said: "I don't really know. It was Sega's decision. I think they just wanted to produce the game internally instead of outsourcing it, like the second part. Unfortunately, we were not involved in that decision. They just didn't offer us the project."

We discuss the development of the “taikan” arcade machine, the downgraded SEGA Genesis and Master System ports and the M2 developed Nintendo 3DS port that returned Thunder Blade to greatness.

"We had a license with Arnold Schwarzenegger to do his next few movies I believe.
So the next movie after that, he decides to do True Lies, which isn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger the superhero.
It was with, I believe, Jamie Lee Curtis and him.
We saw a special showing and we all walked out like, ‘Where’s the game?’
There wasn’t much to go with for a game, so we had to make something up."

"I'd gone and seen Captain EO, which was a short 3D movie starring Michael Jackson.
It was showing at Disneyland in Tokyo, which had just opened, and I thought it was quite inspirational.
So I lobbied management to create 3D glasses for the Master System.
I did the tech demo, which was sort of the Pong-style game we showed at CES, and then I did the bundled title, which was Missile Defense 3-D."

Quote
Originally released in 1989, the Namco-developed shooter never made its way to American arcades due to the bondage and torture scenes featuring Artemis in between levels.
Mega Drive port of it was first published in Japan by Namco themselves in July 1990, with the company bringing the title to the United States the following October.
Later in December 1991, the game also received a European release courtesy of Sega.
You can find the Greek-themed shmup for the first time in the west for $7.99 on Nintendo Switch (via the eShop) and PlayStation 4 (via the PlayStation Store).

Yoko Taro, who serves as the game’s creative director, said: “It’s a game that features Sega’s IP, so I thought Sega should be in the game, but I didn’t think Sega would want to see a game that portrayed it well, so I portrayed it negatively.
“It’s a world that imagines that if things were to go well for Sega but then got out of control, it could end up like this.”

Game Created by @RedMisoStudios 

"It's time for Hellfire Saga to be released after 5 years - and that time period is quite a saga in of itself.
In that time, the game has gone from an amateur little Sonic 3 and Knuckles hack to a full-fledged game project with a development history worthy of a whole book, with lots of time dedicated to the concept, development, audio and visuals.
Red Miso Studio finally opens a portal to the devil's frying pan... so try not to get fried in the first few minutes."

Protect your base, expand your territories, and capture as many free and enemy bases as possible by accumulating resources and building units to assist you. But watch out! Fly too far into enemy territory and there may be a price to pay.

Choose between three different modes to achieve your goals: fighter plane, ground battle, and transportation. Travel faster and transport units to other bases with fighter plane mode. Manage energy usage and do more damage, by switching to the grounded, robot form.

Play against AI or friends via the online multiplayer mode only available in the SEGA AGES version of Herzog Zwei. If jumping into a game sounds too intimidating, try out practice mode, a robust robot tutorial. With save states and replays as well, this game is perfect for newcomers and Herzog Zwei veterans alike.

Greyfox Books, the publisher behind Atari: a Visual History and Coin-Op: The Arcade Guide, had originally planned to fund a similar book to its previous efforts via a Kickstarter campaign in 2021, but Sega's lawyers ended up taking exception to the project and sent them a C&D to stop production of it immediately.
Rather than have all that work go to waste, however, Darren Doyle, the book's creator, has now decided to publish it on the Greyfox site as a free download, giving Sega fans access to the shelved release.

Review: Retro-Bit SEGA Genesis BIG6 Arcade Pad (Wired Console & 2.4 GHz Wireless versions)

(https://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_9392-750x464.jpg)

Quote
While the box is a step down from previous Retro-Bit offerings, like the wireless SEGA Saturn pad which came in a hard clamshell plastic case with a soft flocked plastic tray, it still is nicely presented.
The Wired Console pad, meanwhile, is a slide out plastic tray which holds the controller and the wire is tucked behind.
It’s nothing fancy, but it is the lowest priced pad of the three.
A lot has been said ...

The Making Of: Sorcerian, The Most Groundbreaking JRPG You've Never Played

Quote
Sorcerian was created by Yoshio Kiya, who is, alongside Tokihiro Naito and Yuji Horii, one of the forefathers of the Japanese RPG as a genre concept. He was a key pillar at early-era Falcom. We spoke with before, focusing on his Dragon Slayer series. We never actually covered Sorcerian, though, which is the fifth entry in the Dragon Slayer series.

"It wasn't Dragon Slayer V to start with," insists Kiya, when we interviewed him. "For other games up to that point Falcom would start making the game and it would get decided later on. But I didn't want anyone else to snatch up that title before we were able to use it, so I decided on it right from the beginning. I think it basically came from the word sorcerer; I decided that the name Sorcerian sounded like a good fit for this kind of game."

You may remember that a report from Bloomberg in April last year said that SEGA is investing in its extensive back catalogue of classic video games and are currently working on reboots for Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.
These two SEGA games will apparently be the first of the reboots and they are scheduled to release in the next few years.
Fast forward to today and SEGA has sent out a new survey which is being distributed to specific fans and it mentions a number of older SEGA franchises which haven’t been touched in years and ...

Switch’s Sega Mega Drive controller is back in stock in the UK

(https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1631628724704518145/9ov6-ZeI?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
While the NES controller is generally readily available to buy these days, the SNES, Mega Drive and Nintendo 64 controllers are frequently out of stock for lengthy periods, and when stock is replenished they tend to sell out quickly.
In North America and Europe, the controller is the standard three-button design that was included with the console when it originally launched.
In Japan, however, the Mega Drive Switch controller available there is the improved six-button controller that was released in 1993 to coincide with the release of Street Fighter II’: Special Champion Edition.

404 Game RE:SET Gameplay Involves Purifying Sega Games

(https://www.sega.jp/files/co/topics/2023/03/230307_3_09.jpg)

Quote
A new interview from Sega shed a bit more light on the concepts and characters that animate 404 Game RE:SET gameplay.
The “Dark” side Cathode personalities emerged as a result of Sega’s actions, which is why Sega is portrayed as the antagonist faction of 404 Game RE:SET.
The members of the cast are initially “Cathodized” by Sega, and use their powers to adversely affect the world around them.
For example, Outrun Type: Cathode runs wild throughout the cities, taking joy in her speed heedless of the dangers she poses to innocents.

"Apologies for the delays after the last update.
I hit a snag with fulfillment in Europe, but I've got that straightened out now.
I wanted to make sure that the many backers in the EU would not have to pay any additional VAT or fees beyond what they've pledged, and it turns out this is far more complicated than I anticipated.
I'm partnering with a fulfillment company based in the UK and the EU to handle things there.
Printing was on hold until I got that sorted."

Shortly after the deal was signed, Sam Tramiel suffered a heart attack and control of Atari Corp was passed back to his ageing father, Jack.
With the prospect of seriously challenging Sony, Nintendo and Sega in the upcoming next-gen console war getting slimmer each month, the elder Tramiel wisely decided it was time to get out of the video game business and brokered a reverse merger with hard drive maker JTS on July 30th, 1996.
Atari, and the Jaguar, were dead.
As you can see from these scanned documents, Sega was willing to ...

"Arc System Works Co., Ltd. (originally established as Arc Co., Ltd.) was founded in 1988 as a video game development company, later going on to expand our business to include other areas such as publishing. Thanks to all of the companies and creators we’ve had the pleasure of working with, all of our employees, and most of all the players, these 35 years have gone by in a flash.
I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to grow along with all of you each step of the way as games have evolved over time.
Continued support from our fans all over the world is what has brought Arc System Works where we are today.

Especially with the fighting game genre, I feel truly grateful to have been a part of building a community that brings people from all over the world together across the borders of regions and language.
As we approach the end of three years of the pandemic (COVID-19), I hope to continue moving forward with the fans even more closely than before.

As the gaming environment continues to develop at a rapid pace, I look to exceed the expectations of the players now more than ever.
I want to create games that will amaze and excite them.

Moreover, I’d like to explore other genres in addition to fighting games, to really show off everything we’ve cultivated so far.
I’ll put everything I have into continuing our “revolution” going forward. Thank you for your continued support."

Set in the 1990s, Rolling Thunder 2 is a James Bond-esque arcade game that sees players take command of two members of the World Criminal Police Organization's Rolling Thunder task force, Leila and Albatross.
Their mission is to fight back against the evil terrorist group known as Geldra (the villain from the first game), who is intent on destroying the world's satellites in order to sow chaos across the world. Players will have to travel across a bunch of colourful locations, blasting away Geldra's masked henchmen, while using environmental features like crates to duck out of harm's way.
The game also features a terrific and varied soundtrack from the accomplished composer Ayako Saso (who later worked on Ridge Racer).

Someone has posted pictures Landstalker: Heart of Diamond, a 1997 fan book which includes a summary of the story as well as drawings of the various characters drawn by Yoshitaka Tamaki for the cancelled 2nd episode.

Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qdSGcia64xCQisZHn2FFHl-b-wAeJ0LG/view?fbclid=IwAR0jgdxpkKBBFLQoQkk7FsZxG9hO_EKSELH3bXwnk5gjKeRVcukDj1PfqCk

It says that Lyle gained the ability to transform into various animals after receiving a magic wand, that Zak, Karla and her gang and the Duke of Mercator were back in the game and that the story was to take place in Gamul, a place we discover in the opening of the first episode.
Lyle and Friday are given a mission by the minister of Gamul to rescue a woman imprisoned in a diamond, presumably held by a demon king hiding in a dungeon and trying to conquer Gamul with his monster troops. Lyle refuses but goes after the demon king anyway.
Friday is kidnapped by the Duke of Mercator and the big bad of the story turns out to be the one who had given his task to Lyle, the imprisoned girl and the demon king being in fact a couple of beings of the same species, who have been targeted by the minister.

SEGA of Japan didn't trust SEGA of America and didn't understand western market

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FV3iNK7XEAAwCYp?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Soon after joining Sega, Sega Menacer light gun co-creator Mac Senour's boss, Sega veteran Steve Hanawa, explained why so many of the messages Senour was sending to Japan were going unanswered:
"He said, 'Oh, I failed to explain something very important to you.
Sega Japan hates Sega of America, and won't do anything to help us.
And they will actually throw stumbling blocks in front of you. Have a good day!'"

Senour feels that the awkward relationship was a matter of trust – or lack of it:
"They didn't trust us, and they didn't understand our market.
So we would turn down titles, and they were insulted that we would turn down their side-scrolling shooting games.
And at the upper levels, they really wanted us just to behave, to do what they wanted us to do, to be a carbon copy.
And the two markets are very different from each other; you can't take a great game in Japan and assume it's going to be a great game in America."

This isn't the first time ...

New Phøde ODE, supporting Dreamcast, Saturn, Sega CD, and more, launches pre-orders

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPJ5gDWYAEnQsj?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
For the uninitiated, an Optical Drive Emulator, or ODE, is a device that can take the place of a console’s original optical drive, the device that reads game discs.
Instead of playing games off of original discs, an ODE can play digital disc image files from a flash memory device, usually an SD card like in the Phøde’s case.
These are good for replacing a failing disc drive, while also retaining a console’s ability to play games as long as the rest of the console’s parts still work.
There are already multiple ODEs on the market for many consoles, including ...

Ghostbusters: Special Edition gets slime-splattered physical release for Sega Genesis

While available to play now through emulation, for fans hoping to grab a physical copy, you’re in luck, as @toy_saurus_games_sales has cooked up a retro release that’ll not only work on original Sega hardware but comes encased inside updated packaging that includes a revamped instruction manual and glow-in-the-dark slime-green cartridge.
Despite the physical release receiving praise from BillyTime! Games, one of the modders behind the project, we should state that much like the patch, this has been made by fans, for fans, and is not endorsed by Columbia Pictures Ghost Corps or anyone who worked on the original 1990 release.

This is a very simple and tiny IPS patch, all it does is correct the colors for McLaren to resemble the white/red paint job they used in the early 90s, in the SEGA Arcade version the white/red colors were correct, but the Genesis/Megadrive port got a yellow/red version of the car which this patch fixes.
The changes should be evident in all modes:
- Super Monaco GP
- World Championship

This is huge.
There is so much info here that it's almost overwhelming.
Manufacturing costs, retail margins, sales, product strategies, emails, etc.

The total cost to manufacture the Saturn in early 1996 was $232 - much lower than expected.
The retail margin was only 6%! Meaning retailers made only $15 per Saturn sold.
Emails reveal concern that retailers were going to abandon the market en masse due to low margins.

Michael Katz : "We had to launch Genesis with some titles that would be appealing to Nintendo Entertainment System owners – 90% of the category was still Nintendo. We needed to get them to convert over to the more powerful Genesis.
You can’t do it by just telling them you’ve got a better system.
You’ve got to have games that they want to play on the other system.
So sports were big in the US, football was the biggest sport, and Joe Montana was the most famous footballer.
So we competed with Nintendo [for Joe Montana] and we won.

We got Joe Montana for three or four years. He was the voice of and the picture of Sega Genesis.
He made a lot on his royalties, and that really launched Sega Genesis. Not Sonic the Hedgehog.
It got launched by people wanting to buy Genesis after they saw what could be done with the software quality as witnessed by a game like Joe Montana Football.
Sonic the Hedgehog came [several] months later.

Irimajiri Speaks Out About the Saturn, the 32X, and SOA’s Financial Troubles

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0rhEktWAAAhwGz?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
I met with Sega of America president Tom Kalinske and head of software development Joe Miller. They told me that there was no way they could abandon the incredible success of the Genesis. They made this clear to me in a very passionate manner. After that, I returned to Japan.
We would release the Saturn in Japan at the end of 1994. Meanwhile, we would develop an enhancer for the Genesis, the 32X, that Sega of America would release at the end of 1994. We would split the markets that way. The Saturn’s American release would be postponed for a year. That’s the plan that was eventually agreed upon.
It turned out to be a huge strategic blunder, and it would cost us heavily until the very end. The American third-parties that were counting on the next-generation hardware were thrown into great confusion, and they ended up going to the PlayStation. They didn’t continue on to the Saturn.
A huge problem came to light at Sega of America. In the American market, it was typically large retailers such as Toys “R” Us and Wal-Mart that stocked ...

Happy Anniversary! Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (Arcade, Genesis) released 33 years ago today!

In 1988, Michael Jackson contacted Sega about developing a video game that would capture his persona.
Sega and Jackson then began working on an arcade video game based on his Moonwalker film and "Smooth Criminal" music video released that year.
A prototype unit was demonstrated at Mexico's American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA) exhibition in early July 1990.
Jackson assisted Sega's game designers on the development of the game.

Quote
For real. In the ultimate "What If...?" story, Jackson met with Stan Lee and businessman Peter Paul in 2000 to discuss the possibility of buying Marvel Comics.
As The Comics Journal reported, "Jackson, who was an avowed fan of Lee's work at Marvel, was reportedly interested and sat down with Lee and Paul to discuss the possibilities. [Jim] Salicrup, who was also present, recalls Jackson saying to Lee, 'If I buy Marvel, you'll help me run it, won't you?'" The deal ultimately fell through when the current owner refused to accept less than $1 billion.

Phantasy Star II - Sound Engine Replacement Patch

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FrzjGOQWYAMyGAr?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
These patches work to change the sound engine and PCM samples of one region’s release of Phantasy Star II to the other’s.

The original japanese release used a different sound engine than the west’s. More knowledgeable people have said to this hack’s author that it looks like it may have been translated into 68K assembly from Z80 assembly.

Meanwhile, the western releases (English, Brazillian Portuguese) used a rewritten 68K sound engine that (apparently) doesn’t bear as much resemblance to a Z80 program.

The western release also changed ...

Super Street Fighter II (Genesis) - Modern Tiger Knee Input Patch

(https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-23-2015/tZ5gbQ.gif)

Quote
This is a simple patch that changes the required input needed to perform Sagat’s Tiger Knee in Super Street Fighter 2 on Sega Genesis.
How it works: Tiger Knee can now be performed using a Z Motion followed by any kick button, similar to how Tiger Uppercut is performed.
Tiger Knee: Forward, Down, Down Forward + Any Kick Button
This input is more in line with Sagat’s moveset in later Street Fighter games.

Peter Molyneux Expresses "Regret" For Hyping His Games, But Feels He Was Just Doing His Job

Quote
"When I used to go back after interviews, a lot of the team members would say, well, Peter, we didn't know that we're gonna have this feature in the game until they read it in the press," he admits.
"It was atrocious, and I have an enormous amount of regret for it. I feel remorse for what I did. But, you know, I think one of the jobs back then was to show the world how amazing [the game] was. The design process was making these games which never existed before; back in the nineties and 2000s, we were creating genres almost every year – and when you created something, it was an act of true invention, and it's easy to get yourself lost in the passion."
Molyneux also admits that his overexcitable pitches did have sinister repercussions. "I have had death threats," he explains. No matter what your opinion is of the 22cans boss, sending him a threat against his life should hopefully feel a little extreme to any right-minded person.
Elsewhere in the interview – which is well worth a listen – Molyneux reveals that he and his team have just begun work on a new project, but we won't be hearing anything about it for some time. It seems like Molyneux really ...

How Peter Molyneux Hooked Japan With Populous

(https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-18-2021/59QLpB.gif)

Quote
Molyneux was asked if he would be willing to fly out to Japan to on a promotional junket to support the launch. "It was astounding," he recalls today. "Me and Les Edgar – who was my business partner at Bullfrog – spent the whole of the flight just drinking pretty much everything that we could and eating everything we could, so I felt violently ill when I got off the flight; a combination of jetlag, multiple hangovers and an enormous amount of food. This was a 12-hour flight, and it was the first time I’d ever travelled in anything other than economy."
If the pair thought they'd have time to unwind the moment they touched down in Japan, they were sorely mistaken. While the Super Famicom version was set to launch alongside the new console, Populous was by no means an unknown quantity in Japan; the home computer edition had already made waves with a gaming public which had also eagerly lapped up the likes of SimCity and was keen to meet the western genius behind the next big world-building strategy import.
The airport was packed with crowds and TV cameras; they were being treated like rock stars. "I think this was the first time I ever signed an autograph," says Molyneux. "It was an insane time. Then they dropped us off at the hotel, and said, ...

Who Created The Arcade Classic Frogger?
Spoiler: It wasn't Akira Hashimoto!

Quote
If you happen to look up the history of Frogger online, there's a fairly high chance that you'll encounter several articles and videos claiming that the classic game is actually based on a true story. This story typically involves a Konami employee named Akira Hashimoto coming up with the idea after stopping his car at a traffic light one day and seeing a frog struggling to cross a busy road.
This has been reported in the past by places like Mental Itch and The Gamer, and on YouTube channels like PatmanQC. But, when we asked Inoue about this, he claimed that he didn't know anyone by that name. Instead, he tells us that Frogger is actually the work of Takahide Harima and potentially two other programmers inside Konami.
Harima is a figure who barely has a footprint online, with one of the only references to him being a GDRI listing (taken from the Canadian Copyrights database), which implied that he might be the same person as Toshio Arima (another programmer who was at Konami during this period). As Inoue clarified to us back in 2022, however, they are actually two separate people, ...

Snow Bros., which was developed by the former Toaplan in 1990 and gained worldwide popularity, is now available as a completely new game, keeping the same worldview along with the name.
The game’s gameplay has been greatly expanded with a 3D game field with depth, not to mention the beautiful graphics depicted on the new generation of platforms. Most importantly, however, the basic gameplay is the same as the original.
Old fans will be able to fully enjoy the sense of control inherited from the original game, as well as the nostalgic characters and their actions that have been reincarnated.

For the current generation, this new action game will be the first step in a new development of the Snow Bros. franchise, as they can fully enjoy the essence of the fun of the original.

The game will be exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2023! : https://tgs.nikkeibp.co.jp/tgs/2023/en/ (https://tgs.nikkeibp.co.jp/tgs/2023/en/)

"We liked to pick on Rick and call him the centre of the universe," former Westwood Studios staffer Joseph Hewitt, who worked alongside Parks on several key titles, told Retro Gamer back in 2008. "He was one of the greatest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet, let alone work with and learn from. When he started at Westwood, he single-handedly got us to step up our quality simply by being there. We were all in awe of his talent and pushed ourselves harder to just try and be as good as he was."
"Rick was certainly the aesthetic soul of Westwood," adds Rick 'Coco' Gush, speaking in the same 2008 interview. "We were all a bit in awe of his artistic capacities, but he was just one of the guys, and really enjoyed participating in all the usual office hilarity. In the following years, I would hear many stories of his legendary artwork on the Amiga, and it was fairly regularly that we would go up to the rustic restaurant on the mountain behind Las Vegas, where one huge wall was filled by a mural he had done years before."

Just today, Limited Run Games has announced the collection will now also include the two Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive games: Jurassic Park (1993) and Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition (1994).

This game is a remake of the original 1989 arcade release of Golden Axe, presented entirely in 3D.
It is mostly the same game as before, but now features cutscenes, magic which regenerates slightly after an enemy is killed, and enemies now have life bars.
It also has an arranged soundtrack.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 4: Space Harrier (PS2).
This game is a remake of the original 1985 arcade release of Space Harrier, namely one which replaces the scaled 2D sprites with 3D textured models.
It tweaks some of the levels, remixes the music and adds a lock-on feature similar to Panzer Dragoon, but is otherwise mostly the same game.
"Fractal" mode removes the checkerboard floors and replaces them with more realistic scenery.

Tamaki-san’s artwork was easily recognizable with its stylized merging of anime and Disney-esce visual styles. Sega fans will remember his art best from games like Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Landstalker, Time Stalkers, and Shining Soul I and II, each of the Sega games he worked on during his time at Climax Entertainment, the developers of all except for the two Shining Soul games. Before all that, he got his start in the video game industry working freelance at Enix until getting noticed by Climax and asked to design art for their first Genesis game, the aforementioned Shining in the Darkness. Besides those games, he would also illustrate for games like FEDA: The Emblem of Justice (both the Super Famicom original and its Sega Saturn remake), FEDA 2: White Surge, Alundra, and Assault Suits Vaiken. Unfortunately, photos of him are rare because ...

Quote
EA's North American marketing department threw a spanner in the works, suggesting that the company drop the FIFA license in America and call the game "US Soccer" instead to try to market more directly to Americans.
McMillan recalls, "I sat down with a founder of EA, Bing Gordon, in our boardroom in Vancouver and I said, ‘I’m going to bet my whole job, my whole career, that if we call it US Soccer, it’ll be a failure. We have to call it FIFA. We have to be around the world as FIFA. That is the name it has to be.’ I was almost emotional, I tell you. I was just so determined. I said, ‘This is the way it has to be. It has to be a unified FIFA product around the world and we have to ship that product.’"
Marc Aubanel, an assistant producer who also worked on the first FIFA game, supports this account. He tells Time Extension, "The US hated it. They really wanted it to be called US Soccer, which we looked at it and we were like, ‘You’re fucking crazy. You’ll sell nothing."
According to Webster, the plan almost came to fruition, with the idea only being scuppered after Mark Lewis, the Vice President of Electronic Arts Europe, reminded the US marketing division that it wouldn't be able to give the UK its unsold stock if the game was called something else in another region. Seeing sense, the US team eventually relented, letting the two ...

Powered by the Namco System 2 arcade hardware, Burning Force was ported to the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive in 1990. While it lacked the impressive sprite scaling of the coin-op version, the home port nonetheless garnered reasonably positive reviews at the time of release. Burning Force will launch on Switch and PS4 tomorrow (October 26th).
While Burning Force sadly never got a sequel, Hiromi Tengenji would reappear in several other Namco games down the years, including Mach Breakers, World Stadium,  Namco x Capcom, ...

Quote
Its well known by now that Ken Sugimori of Pokemon fame is a big fan of Phantasy Star however whats never brought up was the rumored Phantasy Star game by Game Freak.
According to an interview by Sugimori in the "Ken Sugimori Works", Sega approached Game Freak with option on several MD projects, A game which used a fast food chain’s character, a Phantasy Star sequel, or a Magical Taruruto game. Magical Taruruto was ultimately picked.
If Phantasy Star was chosen, PSIV would've been a completely different game developed by Gamefreak. The "fast food chain mascot" project may have been picked up by Treasure (McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure).
While not confirmed Eevee shares design similarities with Phantasy Star's Myau. Fujiwara and Sugimori worked at Gamefreak during their fling with SEGA so it wouldn't be shocking if they picked up some inspiration. If true this would mean Tails and Eevee share the same ancestral design lineage.

See and color the breathtaking moment the tiny hummingbird was bio-magically upgraded to a force to be reckoned with.  Equipped with a spectrum of superpowers to fight a planetary alien infection, the lone humming bird becomes the head of the spear of Earth's immune system.   

It's not just a game on an obscure addon (32x) to an old video game system (Genesis,) it's a Coloring Book, and you can get one NOW!

The first objections were, at least, partly understandable. "They wanted us to make an action game," Maegawa said in an interview with the Japanese publication Continue from 2001, translated by Harrison for his book. "But then they said Ronald isn't allowed to defeat any enemies. He's not that kind of character. I somehow got around that by convincing them, 'He's using his magic to send the enemies somewhere else.'"
Other issues were related to the game's hazards. "We showed them a version of the game right as we were about to finish development," continues Maegawa in the same 2001 interview. "This time, they told us we had to remove the lava since it's dangerous! We changed the palette for the lava to blue and called it water."
However, not all of the requests made by McDonald's were so easy to fix, and one of the most bizarre was to remove any trace of ...

CPS1 Chain is an unintended mechanic in Street Fighter II games that run on the original CP System (The World Warrior, Champion Edition, and Hyper Fighting). CPS1 Chains were removed starting with the CPSII in The New Challengers.
CPS1 Chain is when Rapid Cancelable light kick is canceled into any of the three punches. To do so, perform a rapid cancelable light kick, then press light kick and desired punch button at the same time. Standing light kick can be canceled into crouching punch, and crouching light kick can be canceled into standing punch.

A strange lifeform born from the distortions of outer space begins to consume and take over entire worlds as it continues to expand.  It seeks a new target, one that is teeming with life… Earth. The united forces of Earth were unable to stop it and confrontations would result in heavy defeats against these life forms that have evolved into destructive creatures. All of humanity’s hopes are entrusted to a newly developed space fighter that has been named the “Steel Pylon”.  You must fly into the unknown carrying humanity’s final hope for a future!

It’s game over for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as E3.
The Entertainment Software Association, the video-game trade group that ran the convention, announced Tuesday that E3, first launched in 1995, is winding down.
“After more than two decades of hosting an event that has served as a central showcase for the U.S. and global video game industry, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has decided to bring E3 to a close,” the trade group said in a statement. “ESA remains focused on advocating for ESA member companies and the industry workforce who fuel positive cultural and economic impact every day.”
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, E3 was losing steam. Geoff Keighley, founder of the Game Awards (who said he had attended every E3 since the first one), in 2020 launched Summer Game Fest. Before E3 2020 was canceled, Keighley said he was not participating in the expo because he believes in-person events don’t serve gaming fans, developers or publishers as well as ...

Created by Tokihiro Naito, Hydlide was inspired by Japanese games of the period like Bullet-Proof Software's The Black Onyx and Namco's Tower of Druaga, and saw players exploring a vast overworld filled with monsters before delving into dungeons to unlock new weapons and items. As well as the PC-8801, it was also released on the PC-6001, and was later ported to platforms such as the MSX/MSX2, PC-9801, PC-66, Sharp X1, FM-7, Sharp MZ-2000, and Nintendo Famicom/NES. It also spawned two sequels Hydlide II: Shine of Darkness (1985) and Hydlide 3: The Space Memories (MSX, 1987) / Super Hydlide (Sega Mega Drive, 1989), in addition to a remake for the Sega Saturn called Virtual Hydlide (1995).
The game will be available from both the US and Japanese eShops on ...

Today is the release date of the Mega Drive version of Puyo Puyo!
In the MD version, if Arle loses the match, she will take her clothes off (just kidding)
But the X68K version has a bonus ``Puyo Puyo Comic'' and the PC98 version has a graphic image of Arle taking off her clothes during a computer battle.

Known as Empire of Steel in Europe and Koutetsu Teikoku (鋼鉄帝国) in Japan, The Steel Empire is a 1992 shoot-'em-up for the Sega Mega Drive, recognized for its distinctive diesel-punk aesthetic, combining elements of steampunk and late-19th-century industrial design, setting it apart from other shoot 'em-up games.

The wireless earphones are the model CP-TWS01A, and they cost 15,500 yen (or about $109) each. In addition, Onkyo will also sell Sega Genesis and Dreamcast wireless chargers for 4,400 yen (~$31) each. The Sega Genesis and Dreamcast acrylic stands cost 1,200 yen (~$8,) and the T-shirts cost 4,000 yen (~$28).
The headphone case is designed after the consoles themselves, and the Sega Genesis earbuds feature the 16-bit and console logo. Meanwhile, the Dreamcast model earbuds are designed to look like the console’s controller. The earphones feature the startup and system sounds of each console.

Holiday Sega In The Media: Sega Genesis featured in “Merry Axe-mas” music video by Ice Nine Kills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPVNl_g5N_I

Quote
Observant viewers will immediately be drawn to the packaging of the game Spencer received, which does look rather authentic. Notice the red band where “Genesis” would be shown instead saying Ice Nine Kills, the name of the band, while on top of the box is “INK” (Ice Nine Kills abbreviated) in the iconic Sega logo font, or possibly a close facsimile of it.
You’ll even see that they decided to put the game in an EA-style yellow tab cartridge instead of a standard shape and size Genesis cartridge. These cartridge shells were used for many years by Electronic Arts for their various games, such as the Road Rash series, B.O.B., Haunting Starring Poulterguy, and various EA Sports games. Perhaps this was done to make extra space for ...

Genesis/Mega-Drive inspired portable FM synthesizer “Liven Mega Synthesis” now up for pre-order

The Liven Mega Synthesis is designed completely around emulating the iconic sound of the YM 2612 chip, along with the accompanying 8-bit PCM and PSG sounds, in excellent quality with tons of options for composition and editing. While it can record and play music far beyond the limitations of Genesis hardware, it also includes a “Legacy Mode” that allows it to more strictly match the specific sound of a Genesis console on any given track. All this comes in a six track sequencer with ten special effects to apply to each, including reverb, distortion, low pass filter, high pass filter, and ...

Streets of Rage 2 - Italian Translation Patch

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEAaumaW4AAu4T2?format=jpg&name=360x360)

Quote
Italian translation for Streets of Rage 2.
You can choose between normal translation or with the removal of censorship.
The translation with restoration patch* expands the ROM and may be incompatible with some emulators or with the real machine and restores:

- Blaze’s original flying kick sprites;
- the cigar smoked by Mr. X;
- the count of defeated enemies on the status bar (press A in the pause screen);
- the names of Galsia, Galuda and Mosquite in Garcia, Garuda and Mosquito.
- Also changes the music of the pirate ship with the unused music track “Little Money Avenue” (the song removed is still used in the second stage, so the soundtrack is complete).

(*) draws partially from SCD’s Streets of Rage 2 Restoration hack.

Presenting the Unreleased Vectorman Playstation 2
(preservation project trailer, 11 prototypes)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSN85BykbGw

Quote
Like Sonic, Mario and Zelda before him, Vectorman (famous robot from SEGA on the Mega Drive) should have had its transition from 2D to 3D on Playstation 2. Today, please find 11 prototypes and a few Game Design Documents for this Unreleased PS2 game !
Developed by Pseudo Interactive (the same as Full Auto on Xbox 360), the game would ultimately be cancelled. Maybe it looked too much like the Master Chief of the Microsoft game Halo !
Initially, the game was more in line with the two previous Mega Drive episodes, one of the elements retained being the aesthetics of Vectorman's orb. This more faithful approach lasted only 3 or 4 months before development was restarted.
You can download several Playstation 2 prototypes for Vectorman and read all about the research in the link below.

The company was literally learning as it went along – and that sometimes meant making fairly obvious mistakes.
"I remember we were working on a game called Wrestle War, and I was walking by the artist's working area he literally had a photograph of Hulk Hogan in one hand and was painting Hogan as the cover of this game.
Mike Fischer said, "you know, I think there might be a copyright issue. I'm not sure if you're allowed to use his image."
He basically shut the door on my face.
And then, of course, we shipped it and immediately got sued.
And if you look at the UK version, they've just painted his blonde hair over with ..."

One of the big issues with the game is that the isometric perspective can make it tricky to judge jumps, which often results in the player falling off platforms because they can't accurately see where they are in relation to one another.
Thankfully, a new ROM hack from BillyTime! Games aims to solve this issue by adding in a double-jump ability which means you can gain additional height during the platforming sections of the game.

NHL '94 updated for the 2024 Trade Deadline!

(https://i.ibb.co/QCh92vw/NHL94.jpg)

Quote
This hack will completely update NHL ‘94 for the 2023–2024 trade deadline. The goal is to try to provide the most refined and realistic modern versions of this all-time classic game. Key features include…

New in ’24. 800 players obsessively rated, up-to-date rosters, and realistic lines, based on even more extensive 2020-2024 regular season data. Logos, Colours, Uniforms, Arena names… everything up-to-date for the 2024 season. The Bench area has been completely re-designed, new puck design & animation, re-designed graphic overlays for Shoot-Outs, Penalty-Shots, Goal, Injuries, Stars of the Game, etc. and numerous other refinements.

Gameplay Revisioned. The gameplay has been adjusted for a more realistic modern hockey feel, with harder to score goals, easier to hit crossbars and posts, more realistic speed burst, fewer penalty calls, custom energy depletion and recovery rates (balanced for more realistic line rolling and shift length), and player rating distribution curves that have been carefully calibrated for more realistic gameplay on the ice.

Graphical Refinements. Hundreds of other refinements have been made including ...
