No no, I was asking two different questions. SEGA character going by three names and appearing in two games is not related to the Sonic question. So Amy is not ruled out.

In fact, I will make it easier. One of the characters for question one is Amy.

I'm thinking of a Sonic game in which only three characters are playable. One is Sonic, the other two do not include a member of the Chaotix. What is it?

Hint: It is on SEGA hardware.

YUP! Berto wins!

He can ask the next question, though I'd love to see my bonus question answered. :)

I forgot to calculate PICO as console before, LOL.

I already asked question last week so let's make anyone who could answer your bonus question became the next questioner.
I'll try to answer it first.

Bonus Question: This SEGA character goes by three names and has only been playable in two games. Who is it?
Hint: This character is female, and while playable is not seen on the cover art of any of the games.

Is she Cenes = CTN = Crawford?
From Thunder Force V and Thunder Force VI ?

Isn't it just Alis and Alisa? I've never seen "Arisa" used. Also, is she playable in Segagaga? In any case, she is not who I am thinking of.

Another hint: The dominant color in her design is blue.

I thought so, but I went to confirm and saw somewhere it was "Arisa" in Japan. But probably it was just some engrish..
Yea, she was in Segagaga :)

I'm going to guess Mew / Rhyth / Bis from the JSR series.

Sweet! I wasn't 100% sure since I've never played the GBA game. But in this topsy-turvy world, sometimes you've just gotta roll the dice.

Here's your clue for the next one...

This 16-bit adaptation of a Taito arcade game has more "serious" art direction than the cute-em-up original, and it is notoriously buggy.

Regarding my question: After posting it, I realized the GBA release could be considered a third game in the series but given it is such a faithful adaptation and it is basically Jet Set Radio I let it slide and didn't revise my question. Also, the HD release and regional releases I don't see as seperate titles, rather I see them as revisions or versions.

Regarding your question: that's a tough one! I refuse to use Google though!

16-bit ??? Hell yeah.
Since SEGA Megadrive is my favorite console of all time, I think I know what this game is.
It's Insector X, right?

You got it, Berto! Insector X is a really interesting shooter. Like I mentioned, the arcade original is what's called a cute-em-up, while the MD/Gen adaptation has more realistic graphics. At least, as realistic as a game about cyborg bugs can be. And by "buggy" of course I was alluding to the insect designs, not that there are programming bugs. ;) It's got really cool backgrounds and enemy designs. The only tip-off that it's an early 16-bit cartridge is that they didn't use any of the nice parallax backgrounds that became commonplace soon after.

LOL, I didn't get that "buggy" pun until you explained.
I kept trying to remember is there any (programming) bug on the game.

Actually I'd prefer the cute em up version so I kinda hate the change back then.
I prefer playing Fantasy Zone, Air Zonk, and Twinbee than any other realistic shmup like Darius, Gaiares, or Thunderforce.
But it's just my personal taste of course.

-------------------------------------------------

Ok.. My turn to ask question....

I'm thinking of a SEGA game that has a naked female character as final boss.
Her nipple is shown and it's not even censored in the western version.

Hint : It's an RPG, so you can count Mystic Defender out. :)
