Segata Sanshiro Shinken Yuugi

(https://s12.directupload.net/images/201116/6pzo5uwt.jpg)

Quote
As a marketing vehicle, Shinken Yūgi faithfully captures the Segata Sanshiro spirit.
But as a game, its uninspired ideas of what constitutes amusement leave a lot to be desired.
Still, let it be said that after playing through the game, it’s easy to understand what makes Sanshiro such an appealing character.

“One of the OCD characteristics of my personality is I never give up!
When I was trying to convince Sega about Ecco the Dolphin it took me years to get them to bite.
There are some challenges I need to overcome but eventually, there will be a new Ecco!
Also, I am trying to find a way to port our Saturn game, Three Dirty Dwarves, to the Switch.
I think that’s an excellent game for the platform."

Interview: Jacob Andersen (Designer: Amok & Scorcher)

(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/9/99/AMOK_EU_cover.jpg/800px-AMOK_EU_cover.jpg)

Quote
Sega-16: Amok was Lemon’s first game for the Saturn. Reportedly, it started out as a 32X game and was shifted to Saturn when Sega discontinued the add-on. Is this true? If so, how far along was the game on the 32X?
Jacob Andersen: As I remember, it was more a question of the Saturn becoming a valid option, so we decided to switch. I don’t remember it being very far, so it wasn’t a big deal.
At the time, there was no PlayStation in sight so I guess everybody thought that this was the future platform.
We did eventually start converting the game to the PlayStation along with the PC, but the project fell apart at Scavenger’s ultimate demise.

Yeah, he's been featured a lot in Japanese magazines and websites too last year during SEGA 60th Anniversary.
Only once this year, in SEGA Quiz (http://segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=4125.msg94997#msg94997), but that was also part of SEGA 60th Anniversary.
I wondered if his contract was only during anniversary, hopefully not.

Ideas for commercials Sega Shiro can star in!
  • He walks down a stret in Japan and gets jumped by thugs which he takes down, promoting Yakuza games.
  • He meets an old flame of his father, promoting Sakura Wars game.
  • Space battle! Promoting Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
It would be cool if those could happened.
Such a waste they don't use the opportunity.
I missed old funny commercials.

With the remake of The House of the Dead on it's way to Switch I wonder when Virtua Cop will follow through, given both original games used the same gameplay.

With the remake of The House of the Dead on it's way to Switch I wonder when Virtua Cop will follow through, given both original games used the same gameplay.

May be, but The House of the Dead franchise is a lot more popular than Virtua Cop since it got more games (around twenty, including pinball of the dead and typing series) than Virtua Cop (just three) so it would make sense to pick it to remake.

Quote
In an article translated by VGDensetsu, SEGA's creative director Yosuke Okunari told the story of Saturn, revealing some background on the strategies adopted by his company on the software front.
The most striking episode concerns SEGA's attempt to acquire the publishing rights of Final Fantasy VII, a game that, according to Okunari, "had the ability to bring all audiences together" .
For the Tokyo-based company it would have been the hit of the century, but in the end it was Sony who convinced Square with its PlayStation.

Is that... Sakura Wars? Columns is one thing for GBC but this Sega title as well?

Pocket Sakura (Tamagotchi but with Sakura Wars characters) was a success so I guess SEGA really wanted to follow up by making handheld version of Sakura Wars game but Game Gear was already dead.
So the only choice was to release this game on Neo Geo Pocket or Game Boy.
Luckily their choosing of Game Boy was right since this game was selling well enough it later even followed by a sequel Sakura Wars GB2.

"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."

They were not using English (using Siamese and Balinese instead), and I didn't understand what they were talking at all, but I really loved watching those shows live.
I'm not interested seeing them in youtube at all, the 'magic's kinda gone when it's recorded.

Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute on Nintendo Switch features fully working SEGA Saturn emulator

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cottonsaturnemulator-750x422.png)

Quote
City Connection just recently released Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute that compiled Cotton 2, Cotton Boomerang and Guardian Force on a single cartridge.
The game was, well, not well received due to the emulation being used having input lag, making the games hard to play.
The story would have ended there but, GBATemp user Iisreal2301 figured out a way to load his own SEGA Saturn images onto the game file, basically allowing you to boot up any SEGA Saturn game by tricking the system into thinking its loading a Cotton game!

The Cotton Tribute emulator appears to be SSF, which would certainly explain the excessive input lag.
It might also explain why Shima pulled its source code off GitHub several months ago.

Official or unofficial?

Unofficial all I could think is SSBU Sega Sanhiro Mod
But it's far from finished

https://gamebanana.com/mods/192467

Or figure of him, but no model to be found.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/f3/2d/c6f32db6177be661721f70de2e683f5e.jpg)

Or M.U.G.E.N and Sonic Robo Blast if it's 2D.

I don't know about official ones.
I don't mind if unofficial or not, would just prefer a 3D model I can attempt to port to GMod or SFM given I would love to play with such a thing on SFM. But the workshops are lacking.

I don't want to use the SSBU mod because it's just a reskin of Ryu from Street Fighter and too recognisable. Besides Sanshiro has more hair, a face that shows both strength and age but kindness and wisdom and a judogi that's in better condition, with sleeves.

There are only two games that I know of that had a 3D model of Segata Sanshiro.

Rent A Hero (Sega Saturn remake)
(http://104.236.151.57/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/rentahero-xbox-12.png)

Segata Sanshiro owns a dojo in the game and you can train with him.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DrHgVymX0AAGma8?format=jpg&name=900x900)

He cameod on the "Race of AGES" track wher ehe is seen riding the missile of his supposed death.

Why I want this model...
Simply put, to mess around with on SFM and GMod. I know how to import models to .SMD on Blender, I just need the model itself to work with. Usually I use The Model Resource and deviantART to find the models I am looking for but if they don't have it I'm stuck.

Originally released for Capcom CPS-2 hardware in 1994, it was brought to the Sega Saturn on 22nd November 1995, and is built similarly to the likes of Street Fighter II' and Darkstalkers.
The game was widely praised as a result of this, in addition to its colorful graphics and use of voice actors from the then-current X-Men cartoon series.

Toei has chosen a very unique anniversary celebration for the upcoming Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations movie!
A sequence of the film will take place in 1971 featuring the very first Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo. Previously this role had been played by legendary actor Hiroshi Fujioka but at 75 he no longer resembles the original character.
The role instead falls to Maito Fujioka– Hiroshi’s own son!

Tomb Raider's Nude Raider Myth Was Fake - But It Almost Wasn't

While Nude Raider was never true, and was never planned for, Douglas tells me that there was some pressure from management to add it in later, and feels that part of the reason the rumour endured was because people marketing the game wanted it too.
"I thought it was just a typical juvenile reaction," he says. "Even during development someone in management, perhaps half-jokingly, asked us for something similar and we told them to bog off.

Though different in nature, these beings all have one thing in common: they are the Darkstalkers, creatures of legends once thought to be only myth, but now are all too real!

In this world, the Earth we know is merging with the world of demons, and the Darkstalkers have come out to play. But an alien force is returning to Earth, just as the fighting is about to heat up. With this mysterious entity's sights set on the Darkstalkers, it plans to eliminate only the strongest to clear its path to total domination of the world!

I had many backlog of games that I haven't touch too.
Sometimes buying and collecting games was more fun than playing them.

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.

5 VHS tapes containing all the movie scenes from Sierra Online's PHANTASMAGORIA 2 have been unearthed.
The good news is the images are full screen, uncluttered, and the quality is pretty decent.
The bad news is that there are some "static artifacts" that appear regularly.
Please help us digitize them.

Supper Releases Yumimi Mix Remix (SEGA Saturn) English Translation Patch

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/961429279642615828/FPsQBHCXEAA95u1.png)

Quote
Yumimi Mix Remix is a 1995 adventure game for the Sega Saturn. A direct port of the 1993 Mega-CD game Yumimi Mix, it was created in a collaboration between developer Game Arts (of Lunar and Grandia fame) and well-known shoujo manga artist Izumi Takemoto, who wrote and storyboarded the entire game.
A happy marriage of Game Arts' technical skill with Takemoto's cute, whimsical artistry and inimitably eccentric sensibilities, the game is comprised entirely of fully-animated, fully-voiced, full-screen cutscenes coupled with periodic multiple-choice prompts, creating an experience almost exactly like watching an anime while still making full use of the interactivity afforded by the game medium.

This patch fully translates the game into English, subtitling all dialogue, songs, and important background text in the manner of a typical subtitled anime. It also adds new in-game options to show or hide Japanese honorifics, to partially or completely disable the subtitles, and to allow unimportant scenes to be skipped during gameplay.

This is an awesome find I had to share.
For those unaware: CAPCOM used references/poses/art straight from the original MARVEL comics to create the victory poses and the endings for the characters in Marvel Super Heroes as well as some other games.

"Tomb Raider - Unfinished Business" is partway ported to the Sega Saturn

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/976138577543045200/FB_IMG_1652799822595.jpg)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok3IAewzMak

Quote
The game is an expansion of Tomb Raider, consisting of four bonus levels. Released in 98 for the PC now being ported to the Saturn. This is fantastic it completes the game. It’s looking really good from the released images and video footage.

The new levels are:
The mysteries in the Temple of Cat. Egypt
• 1 - Return to Egypt
• 2 - Temple of the Cat
The vast ruins of the Atlantean Stronghold. Atlantis
• 3 - Atlantean Stronghold
• 4 - The Hive

Plot:
Shadow of the Cat: After recent floods in Khamoon, Lara returns to the local tomb to make further studies of the mysterious cat statue. When she returned, she saw that the main chamber was completely flooded - making more areas accessible and opening new opportunities for exploration. Lara explores new areas of the city and eventually uncovers the existence of a temple dedicated to the cat-goddess Bast, which houses a huge golden cat statue.

Unfinished Business: Once satisfied with her raiding, Lara heads back to the remains of Atlantis. Her goal is to finish off the last survivors of the Atlantean army and destroy a well-defended mutant hatchery, so that they may never trouble mankind again. After accomplishing this, she leaves Atlantis through an underwater tunnel. She hasn't returned to Atlantis since.

Credits/thanks:
The dev of the project is Jonathan rij YouTube name is JRTombraider. Please show some support by subbing and comment so he knows we all want the project, massive thanks for all your work on it so far, it’s looking great a credit to your work.

Why Embracer should revive Gex, the 32-Bit gaming’s worst mascot

Quote
Until very recently, the Gex franchise was owned by Square Enix.
The Japanese developer acquired the Gex IP (probably reluctantly) when it purchased developer Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Interactive back in 2009.
So, now, more than ever, it’s actually more likely that we’ll see a new Gex game thanks to Embracer’s takeover of a suite of Square Enix IP.

JC: How did you put together the archival side of this collection? What were some of your favorite assets and art you were able to share in the game?
Matsumoto: Capcom legend SHOEI brought out all of his carefully stored materials and we prepared them together. Everything was wonderful, but the Darkstalkers art was especially dynamic and we were blown away by it.

Twelve psychotic monsters fight fist-and-fang in the darkest, goriest head-to-head combat ever! In bone-chilling interactive, multi-leveled environments, the beasts of the undead trade clawfuls of sickening supermoves in their bid to rule the underworld.
Overflowing with blood, guts, drool and slime, Battle Monsters is mangling multi-hit, mid-air fighting with super-fast scaling, chopping, stabbing, gouging and morphing. Feeling lucky, freak?

SEGA considered a Dreamcast or Saturn Mini but it would have been "a difficult and expensive process"

Quote
The company did "explore the idea" of a Dreamcast or Saturn Mini but ultimately decided not to pursue it when Sega discovered manufacturing mini consoles had become more expensive post-pandemic (and post semiconductor shortage, of course).
Okunari added that the Mega Drive Mini's internals "can't adequately handle Saturn games", and manufacturing new chipsets would be prohibitively expensive, joking that if they'd proceeded with the idea, the cost of buying a Dreamcast of Saturn Mini could rival that of a modern-day console.
But because the Mega Drive Mini 2 was based upon the existing Mini hardware, it seemed more "manageable".

I probably won't go that far. Some may choose Doom or Wolfenstein or Half-Life as best FPS. I don't play enough FPS to have a fair opinion on the matter. I just have some nostalgia for the game.

Like when the lid of the sarcophagus rises and you talk to the pharaohs head, when the pharaoh is done talking with you and you're quick enough you can jump into the sarcophagus before the lid goes down and get stuck in their. It's not progressive or any secrets or anything,. just a stupid little exploit I found.

Doubt that exploit is in the remakes.

Best is relative.
Best depended on who.
If we are talking about Saturn version and uses GamePro Magazine's score, Exhumed / Powerslave was indeed the best one.
It got perfect score.
Other magazines could give other results though

In term of visibility Ristar got it best though since it's continually showing up every time there's a Genesis / Mega Drive compilation / collection.
It also has a free mobile game version.

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!

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.

Same for this game given hiw far advance special effects in games have become, such as fire and such.

The people behind the game still loved it though.
Almost all Phantasy Star Online games had at least one Burning Rangers event.

I can't recall if I ever played Burning Rangers, I don't think so. I do like the idea of fire fighting with water physics and fire effects.

Though I find it hard to believe it's set in a world where most crisis are prevented and resolves... unless it's fire related.

So they manage to resolve peace in the middle east and end all known wars but still forget to turn off the stove now and again?

Could be. Sometimes the great accident wasn't happened because of great catastrophe or fatal error, but from little things that people tend to ignore or forget.

Video game legend Bernie Stolar, former president of Sega of America, has passed away at the age of 75.

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/990626140823617608/bernie-stolar.jpg)

Quote
I met him when he was president and chief operating officer of Sega of America, where he helped lead the development and launch of the Sega Dreamcast.
He was one of the more blunt and honest — as well as memorable — executives that I met in the game industry.
“When I got to Sega I immediately said, ‘We have to kill Saturn. We have to stop Saturn and start building the new technology.’
That’s what I did. I brought in a new team of people and cleaned house. There were 300-some-odd employees and I took the company down to 90 employees to start rebuilding,” Stolar said.
Stolar helped lead the development and launch of the Dreamcast.
One of Stolar’s top moves at the time was to acquire Visual Concepts for Sega of America and create 2K Sports.

Success is when you find people are copying you.
People always copy from the best one, means SEGA used to be the best.

The quest to defeat the mysterious Baron of Battlers, the mysterious K, is on.
In order to get to this grotesque gladiator, however, you need to fight your way through 11 matches with the most skilled, most deadly of all combatants in the world of physical contact.
Use your powers of pulverization, psychic energy blasts, and ridiculous strength to become the explosive fighting god in FIGHTERS HISTORY DYNAMITE!

I guess, but Virtua Fighter isn't as popular as Tekken or Dead or Alive despite the fact Virtua fighter pioneered the fighting genre the successful games use.

Arcade aside, Playstation is more well known than Saturn afterall.
May be VF would be more succesful if it's started on Playstation console.
In term of visibility of course, the lack of proper sequel after VF5 is still SEGA's fault.

Playstation was more well known as Saturn because Saturn was rushed to hit the shelves before it's competitor.

"Two-ninety-nine" was indeed a killer line.

Saturn was rushed because 32X failed badly.
32X was SEGA attempt to move from 16-bit market since 16-bit market isn't profiting anymore since 1995.

In 1995, Sega of America published about 20 games on the Genesis, around the same number that it published in the peak year of 1993.
These included Comix Zone, Phantasy Star IV, and Vectorman, and Vectorman in particular received a huge marketing campaign.
Despite still selling a decent number of now budget-priced Genesis consoles, the games were just not selling.

1995’s almost like a return of the 1982 "Atari Shock" for SEGA, Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, etc
1996 was a final battle, like the quote of Phantasy Star IV.

Yes, especially 2D VS fighting game.
Almost of them were arcade perfect while Playstation version usually suffered lost of many frames,
or worse, changing the gameplay to solve the memory issue.

Arcade and Saturn version of X-Men vs Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter is Tag-Team 2  vs 2 fighting,
while Playstation version become 1 vs 1 fighting.
It strips out its best features (tag-team battles) and extends the the one-round battles to a two-out-of-three round setup.
The long loading between matches didn't help either.

I was mostly arcade gamers back then so the one that caught my attention always port from arcade.

Made by Treasure, SEGA's second party game company who made Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Light Crusader, and Alien Soldier.

A sequel also has been made for Gameboy Advance entitled Advance Guardian Heroes.
But due to the inferior hardware, it's not as smooth as its Saturn prequel.
Sometimes in the game we'll get frame rate problems. Still fun to play though.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7d/c6/bc/7dc6bc769b910540c706c76c51de0339.jpg)
It just looks... I dunno. If there an OVA on them during the '90s (I imagine TAKI Corporation on the job) I would give that a pass. But I still think Conan the Barbarian was a heavy inspiration for the Golden Axe franchise and thus should be taken as seriously as Conan was. Yes flight of fantasy and magic but more gritty and action-based.

If Sega wanted Golden Axe to have a TV series and want it appealing to teens to young adult with pleasing anime-like animation... I would so want Genndy Tartakovsky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genndy_Tartakovsky) on the job.
I would go up to him and say "Hey, we want a Golden Axe TV series... but in the style of Primal."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co28PDKv2VY

Oooh, now I want that to happen. Tartakovsky to make a Golden Axe TV series.

Primal style does look good.

I love Conan movies and books but I really hate its cartoon series.
Adding animal sidekick to Conan felt weird.
It's like more He-Man than Conan.

Conan the Adventurer was actually highly praised at the time for a Conan cartoon, with staying largely true to Robert E. Howards material and was a popular sword and sorcery cartoon along with He-Man and Dungeons and Dragons.
Yes it was criticized for being toned down for kids and made work around from straight up killing what with Star Metal that sends Snake Men to another dimension instead of just killing them.

And yeah, the phoenix was annoying.

Still, I doubt we'll ever get anymore cartoon adaptions of Sega games other than Sonic in the future.

Story-wise may be it's good, but visually I can't stand it.
Visually and Design-wise, it feelt too modern for me,
some characters' outfits doesn't feel like it belongs to Conan world.

Sonic Prime was planned after Sonic movie's success.
So may be if there's another SEGA movie that as succesful as Sonic movie....

That's true. But the movies and the cartoons were the only Conan content I was familiar with growing up. I didn't even know Conan was based after a popular comic.

It really depends. I mean Marvel/Disney are like "here's what's expected of all this phase in the MCU" and so far Sega/Paramount only confirmed a TV series (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Series), Sonic 3 (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_3_(film)) and I think maybe Streets of Rage (https://deadline.com/2022/04/streets-of-rage-film-adaptation-john-wick-creator-derek-kolstad-1235004975/)? It's yet confirmed if both Sonic movies and Streets of rage movie will take place on the same Earth (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Earth_(Paramount)).

But I still doubt Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage or any Sega Classic-era IPs will get their own cartoons outside of Sonic.

I grew up with Conan comics (mostly John Buscema's version with his realistic approach) so I guess the difference affected on how we view the cartoon version.

Hopefully in Sonic Prime season 2, Sonic could travel to not just another Sonicverse, but also to Golden Axe-verse, Streets of Rage-verse, etc. Like in Archie Comics. Who knows.

Conan fathered the barbarian fantasy. The desire to be brutish men and not be shamed by it and adapt to a brutish yet fantasy world.

I maybe a fatass slob IRL but I fantasize about it now and again. As in what if I get Isekai'd to a fantasy world only instead of becoming an effeminate looking cuckold who just so happens to be OP, or a common monster that can turn into an effeminate looking cuckold who just so happens to be OP. What if I get a more improved body? Or I stay as I am, but the conditions of this new world gives me more of the body I desire?
Sure I'll probably be given some plot armour and I probably won't be entirely barbaric but if women swoon over me, why not oblige them?

And by cuckold I mean they ends up with like five women, two of them practically gagging for it and they just be nice to them which only makes their undies hotter.
You know what was a good isekai adventure for older viewers? That "Den" story from Heavy Metal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Metal_(film)).
I doubt they'll do that but it'll be a great homage it it's happened.
Actually... there is a slim chance it may happen.

You see Sonic Prime is produced by a studio called WildBrain.
WildBrain were formerly known as DHX Media Ltd.
DHX Media Ltd. at one point acquired and absorbed Cookie Jar Group.
Cookie Jar Group at one point acquired and absorbed DiC Entertainment.
DiC Entertainment made half the cartoons we watched in the 90s, including SatAM, AoSTH and Sonic Underground.

So you see, WildBrain has the rights of the original cartoons DiC made for Sega. So if (and I mean "if") Sega allows for AoSTH or SatAM reference, cameo or crossover in Sonic Prime, WildBrain already have the legal rights for such things.

That's a nice fact.
I'm sure WildBrain would love to use them.
The decision is all at SEGA though and I don't think their legal team allow them to take the risk.

EVE Burst Error took first place.
Grandia came in second.
According to Uncle, Guardian Heroes is ranked 197th.
The real irony, however, is that EVE Burst Error's protagonist, Kojirou Amagi, was voiced by none other than Takehito Koyasu (Uncle's seiyuu).

SEGA is confused on who to give the royalty to.
Unlike Sonic 1 & 2 that's clear that the music right is belong to Dream Come True.

What I heard is Michael created the music with humming and singing, Brad does all the work to materialize them with the music instruments.
But then again, it was never documented.

The 30th anniversary of Gunstar Heroes and Ikaruga developer Treasure looks like it’s going to be celebrated in style, with a new version of 2D shooter Radiant Silvergun.
The game was originally released in arcades and on the Sega Saturn in 1998, and the only Western release was an Xbox 360 port that is still available via the Microsoft Store.

After Endless Delays and Empty Words, Dispatch Games Is Seemingly Dead
Company has officially been labelled as 'inactive'

In what can only be described as a veritable disaster, the sorry state of limited print company Dispatch Games has apparently reached its sad and inevitable conclusion.
As highlighted by Seafoam Gaming, who has been keeping a watchful eye on the sorry situation, a posting from Tennessee state indicated that Dispatch Games is no more and that customers waiting for deliveries of physical games like Game Tengoku (Game Paradise), Radirgy Swag, and Rail Sim simply won't get the games they paid for despite Dispatch's reassurances, most recently back in June.

This isn't the first time one of Live Wire's games has been suddenly removed from the eShop.
Mushihimesama was removed shortly after it was released last year on the European eShop due to an age rating error, but it reappeared the following month:
Fortunately, the game is still available to buy on the Japanese and European eShops.

Publisher Live Wire has shared an update on the disappearance of Radiant Silvergun from the North American eShop.

The First Two-Versus-Two Cooperative Game in the Series

In the versus mode, players can play against either the computer or other players, and even send bubbles to their opponent’s board and disturb them by erasing or tearing off a large number of bubbles at once.

In this title, players can enjoy not only the traditional one-versus-one battle but also, for the first time in the series, two-versus-two cooperative battles between teams of two players, who can cooperate to erase each others awkward-to-aim-at bubbles and enjoy a more thrilling and faster-paced experience.
Players can also play alone against the computer team, or team up with a friend to battle.

In 1996, Sega announced The Sacred Pools, an adults-only FMV game for the Saturn, PC, and, bizarrely enough, Sony PlayStation.
With a budget of roughly three million dollars, the game was fully filmed but never saw the light of day.

Until now.

SEGA is actually considering a Saturn or Dreamcast Mini – at least enough to ask fans about it

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FgZVYX9agAAwRk-?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Unfortunately the third option in the questionnaire was a Mega Drive Mini 3, which is probably the most likely choice.
Still Sega’s Mini boss Yosuke Okunari (as in he’s in charge of their mini-consoles, not that he’s unusually short) previously said that his preference for the next machine would be either a SG-1000 Mini or a Dreamcast Mini.

So I decided to try and finish Phantasmagoria in one sitting.
I almost locked blocked myself with the door puzzle but I had a backup save.
But for some reason I couldn't pick up the needed shard and now my Chapter 7 save is broken.
Fat lot of use that was.

I couldn't enjoy the game last time I played it though I kinda like it years ago (but never got a time to finish it).
I guess my preference / taste of gaming has changing over time.

I got the game on steam for Christmas so I wanted to play the most of it.

I only found one soft-lock moment. If you make the key drop from the door too soon then you'll remain locked out.. I think, I simply reset the game and did it right.

But now I'm on the last chapter and before entering the the dark room I saved just before entering and it began the climactic battle. I tried resetting but it either I insist to continue from the climax or, when I did manage to load my save, it was just black.

I don't think I can help you with that. Going to its Steam page discussion forum might be better place to ask.
Then again I remember your Steam forum discussion asking about Flashback sequel.
Have the developer answer it?

404 Game RE:SET Gameplay Involves Purifying Sega Games

(https://www.sega.jp/files/co/topics/2023/03/230307_3_10.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.

Atelier Marie first showed up in Japan on the PlayStation, then the Sega Saturn.
However, the Saturn version had extra features. For example, there were more events.
The Atelier Marie Plus version added the additional elements when it released a year later.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

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

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 ...

A 272-page PDF of classified Sega of America docs from ~1996 was just posted online.

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.

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 ...

Speaking to the Japanese publication Famitsu (translated by VGC), SEGA president Yukio Sugino stated that the "Sega Saturn is surprisingly high performance," admitting that "the difficulty of miniaturisation is also high."
Sugino added that it may take a while for a Sega Saturn Mini to hit store shelves, but he seems keen to collaborate with teams who know the hardware inside and out: "I’d like to think about it when we’re in a situation where we can openly develop it together with people who have always loved the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast."
That last quote is particularly eye-catching; if a Sega Saturn Mini is successfully developed, the publisher may ...

Not content with simply sitting and watching his favorite game go unloved, one dedicated Italian fan named Alessandro Schiassi has set out to make his own homage to the original Sega Rally.
"I might have experienced the arcade cabinet first, around 1996-7," Schiassi tells Time Extension.
"I clearly remember a bar in Milan having one and, of course, being blown away by its graphics and sound.
Sure, it was a different time, 2D games were still the majority, but Sega Model 2 graphics were beyond anything I'd seen before.
It was literally an aero-space engineering marvel! Also, as a kid, that was the closest you'd get to driving a car, with force feedback and all!"

Do you remember the time that Sega broke the law in order to promote the Saturn in the UK?

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dgc5mLVVAAAgrQj?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
After people started asking questions about the legality of such an action, Sega understandably got cold feet and refused to accept responsibility for the stunt, with the head of marketing for the Sega Saturn in Europe, Jeremy Crisp, publicly denying that Sega was ever involved in a January 1996 issue of Edge Magazine.
"One of the benefits of Sega is that we’re very quick to get our marketing into what’s going on out there, making it contemporary and interesting to people.
If an opportunity comes up we can act on it very quickly. We use that as an advantage over our competitors and try to exploit the fact that we can do it and they can’t.
As a marketing tool, I guess we’d call it guerrilla marketing.
Of course, when we do have the money we can do traditional marketing activities as well."
Following the controversial Major/Redwood stunt, Sega partnered with a company to illegally fly poster areas of London, ...

A couple of months ago, we announced the first Irem Collection volume that will come out in November!🤩 The first volume features Image Fight, Image Fight 2, and X-Multiply! If we had to describe these games in a few words, these would probably be...

Image Fight - A challenging and fast-paced vertical scrolling arcade title set in the future, where humankind is boarding OF-1 Daedalus to fight the Alien invasion and earn eternal glory!

Image Fight 2 - The successor of Image Fight, finally coming to the Western audience with improved animations and new visual scenes! A new fight against the alien invaders is coming, and it's your turn to take the helm of the OF-3 Garuda spaceship and defeat the invaders!

X-Multiply - A timeless side-scrolling shooter that will immerse you in the world of the human body and sci-fi elements seemingly inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. Test your shooting skills and fight alien parasites to save humankind.

For which game are you the most excited?

"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 ...

Sega Saturn Mini Could Become A Reality, Thanks To Retron FPGA

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F6pFikzXgAAElgr?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Japanese hardware firm Tassei Denki has been showing off some exciting retro-themed hardware at this year's Tokyo Game Show, including what appears to be a Sega Saturn Mini that uses FPGA technology rather than traditional software-based emulation.
The unit at the show – which is, of course, entirely unofficial and not endorsed by Sega – was shown running Taito's Darius II.
According to Game Watch, the tech powering this mini Saturn will be part of Hyperkin's Retron FPGA platform, which uses Field-Programmable Gate Array chips to produce more accurate emulation. The Retron FPGA was also shown running NES games from a special cartridge converter.
FPGA chips are already in use via ...

The translation changes all on-screen Japanese into English and adds English subtitles to the cutscenes while leaving the original Japanese dialogue intact.
ChristopheF admitted that neither Japanese nor English is their native language, so “there might be room for improvement” in the translation.
They didn’t just translate the game, either — ChristopheF fixed a couple bugs, as noted in the patch notes ...

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 ...

Yeah, but it's forgivable given the limitations they had back then. I mean, sure VIII and IX had better models and were also PS1 games, but Squaresoft likely didn't know they could make models like that at the time.

Plus, I prefer FF7-quality models over actual Roblox avatars any day.

Yeah, but it's forgivable given the limitations they had back then. I mean, sure VIII and IX had better models and were also PS1 games, but Squaresoft likely didn't know they could make models like that at the time.

Plus, I prefer FF7-quality models over actual Roblox avatars any day.

You couldn't costumize FF7 character models though. Roblox avatars were made simpler in purpose.

Out now! Please read the description before downloading.
After 27 years, Lara Croft has finally returned to the Sega Saturn, in Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business. This expansion to the original Tomb Raider was released exclusively for the PC back in 1998, with lead development by Phil Campbell. It brings Lara back to Egypt, where things will seem familiar at first, but are soon to get more and more mysterious. Lara then returns to where she originally left off, in a highly action-packed Atlantis, where a brutal battle with the last remaining mutants awaits her. Unfinished Business was received well by fans in particular and is still considered a must-play game to this day. It was ported twice to the PlayStation 1, with the first attempt released in 2014.
A Saturn port was long overdue. I originally started development back in early 2022. Much like the PS1 ports, ... (read more in youtube description)

Drawing cues from the Sega Saturn controller, the RG ARC has a horizontal form factor with six action buttons laid out in a 3 x 2 configuration, a D-pad, and shoulder buttons. Most important of all, its quad-core 64-bit chipset can run old-school games up to the Dreamcast! The DREAMCAST. The lack of an analog stick might make some 3D Dreamcast games impossible to play, but Marvel vs. Capcom 2? A breeze!
There are actually two versions of the RG ARC: the RG ARC-D (for Dual OS with Android 11 and Linux) and RG ARC-S (single OS with Linux only). Both have the same ...

Grandia will be part of the PlayStation Plus Classic Games catalog next week. It should be noted that this is an emulated version of the first game with your standard PS1 emulation perks (up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters), not the Grandia HD Collection version available on Switch and PC.

One benefit of this version is that you get the original sprites, portraits, and graphics rather than the smoothed out / blurry / or distorted visuals of Grandia HD Collection, which drew some criticism. What you don't get is native widescreen. Also Grandia II obviously.

One of the best series of Gundam games ever made is the Blue Destiny trilogy released on the Sega Saturn, and now we have some new toys on the way for it.
Originally released back in 1996, the game was an interesting departure compared to other Gundam games, as it had you pilot grunt mobile suits in a first-person cockpit view.
Split into three parts, the games dealt with the ramifications of a new technology that copied a Newtype consciousness into a computer to give regular pilots an edge. Called the EXAM System, it was also pretty unstable.
Over the course of the games, you went from a regular GM mobile suit to an experimental EXAM System based GM and eventually a prototype EXAM System Gundam.However, while you were on the side of the Federation, the EXAM System technology originated from  ...

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 (1987), 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 ...

"I was contacted by [Sony Computer Entertainment], who told me, 'We're going to decide in an upcoming meeting how many times breasts can jiggle.' I argued over and over with them saying, 'that's absurd!' In the end, we worked things out, but I'll never forget arguing over the 'breast jiggle issue' with Shuhei Yoshida, who was our SCE contact at the time."
While the jiggle was kept intact for the PlayStation release, the animation was reduced somewhat when compared to the Saturn version, which suggests that Sega of Japan had no such issue with the exaggerated booby movement (indeed, the first Dead or Alive was released on the Saturn the following year, and we all know how that turned out).
The Saturn version is considered by many fans to be the best of the bunch, and not just because of the boobies; it also has lightgun sections, and the FMV sequences run at 24 fps, as opposed to the 15 fps of the PlayStation version. English fan translations exist for both ...

So we decided to make him a giant boss to save space and spend some time on effects!
I'm glad it had an impact because it was made with very limited capacity."

“REAL BOUT FATAL FURY” is a fighting game released by SNK in 1995.
Using the previous system as a base, isolating the Sweep Button, the inclusion of Combination Attacks, and other elements such as ring outs make for an even speedier and tempo-based play style. Sixteen fighters battle it out to see who is the strongest.
The "ACA NEOGEO" series has faithfully reproduced many classic NEOGEO masterpieces.

As for why Clockwork Knight exists within the sequel’s disc, that’s because North American copies of Clockwork Knight 2 are actually based on the Japanese CK 1&2 compilation “Clockwork Knight: Pepperouchau no Fukubukuro”, and not the actual standalone Clockwork Knight 2 game. It’s not currently known why Sega of America opted to adapt that version of the sequel instead. (Though the compilation does include some extra bug fixes, so perhaps Sega of America simply wanted North Americans to have the most stable version of the game available?) What is known is that they deliberately disabled access to the original game, most likely to not harm sales of the prequel, which was still in print at the time. We don’t

The port is early in development, with the demo available as of this writing being version 0.1.1. The demo only consists of the first stage and gives you access to only two characters: Wolverine and Cyclops. Developer hotrodx also has a message displayed in the demo saying that they’re not using any source code derived from the original game and are, instead, eyeballing the whole game, trying to match the arcade game’s feel as much as possible. It sounds difficult, but based on this demo, they seem to be on the right track. You can try it with an ODE such as a Fenrir, Satiator, or Phøde on real NTSC Saturn hardware and ...

Retro-bit released updated firmware Saturday for their new wireless Saturn Pro controller to fix input problems when using it on real Saturn hardware, but the “Virtual On Mode” it adds doesn’t work correctly.
The new version 1.1 firmware for the controller’s console receiver — which can be downloaded from the company’s website — fixes the ZL and ZR shoulder buttons so that they now correctly mirror a Saturn’s L and R buttons when the Saturn Pro is in 3D analog mode. That means Nights into Dreams works correctly when pulling off tricks — something the controller couldn’t do on ...

I guess so.

But you'd think the light guns would be at least a thing. If not by Retro-bit then at least by
Sinden (https://sindenlightgun.com/) who are the leading brand of modern PC light guns.

As for keyboards... I guess I can understand why they would give them a miss. They're just generic keyboards, after all.

Maybe if they had something like a hybrid controller-keyboard like what the GameCube had, I would find that practical.

But it's because there are a lot more of Sonic fans than light gun game fans.

I didn't know controllers require software to use, just plug in and play controllers.

It's for bug fixing, but still basic software is still needed to at least making the buttons mapped correctly.

These patches do two things:
1. Change the game text to English
2. Enable the extra "Game Mode" options, which normally require a cheat code

Here's a bonkers cheat code for SHINOBI LEGIONS…
• Go to Options
• Set Music to 2-3
• Set S.E. to 06
• Select Audio and put in a *40 button* code

Reward? A fully-featured debug mode with level select, free movement, and more.

I made a patch so you don't have to actually put in the button code:

When debug mode is active, pause and press R to call up the menu for level select and such.
L+R+Z is free movement with no collision; you can fly through walls and doors.
L+X performs special moves, which you can select from the menu.
