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)
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)
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.

SEGA Talk : Comix Zone (1995)
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Comix-Zone2-600x438.png)
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.

Trivia : Ristar became a flagman in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

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.

SEGA Talk Podcast: Vectorman (1995)
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SEGA_Forever_-_VectorMan_-_Art_1529052451-1-750x366.png)
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

“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)
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.

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
(https://i.ibb.co/2sXS974/Alisia-Dragoon.png)
”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

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)
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.

SEGA Talk Podcast : Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (1990)

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.

Behind the Design: Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/03dc0177e18cff01d966bffa5777dc8c/tumblr_phgwvliU451xl7bfeo1_500.gifv)
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 Starring Donald Duck
Smooth animations and unique landscapes for each level

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.

World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck
An imaginative world with plenty of level variety
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/68edbc35678cdd1af2d6892668502207/tumblr_mlcrishddS1qc8iwco1_400.gifv)
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)
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
(https://s12.directupload.net/images/201119/2p8pbu2k.jpg)
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.

Did You Know That These Three Games are Trilogy?

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
'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)
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
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.

You're right.
Mick or Riki are too generic for names.
Donkey Kong and Kirby are examples of more memorable names.

Creepy McDonald’s SEGA Genesis game Easter Egg found after 30 years

Users can then move the object around using the D-pad or toggle to a different model, including a rough spaceship, the SEGA logo, and some simple cubes.
Solving the mystery is fun and all, but the Easter Egg itself isn’t terribly interesting — except for the disturbing music that accompanies it.

Ecco The Dolphin Creators Are Working On A Spiritual Successor Titled Dolphin Quest

"Unveiled during the Intellivision Amico’s E3 segment, Dolphin Quest is a brand new underwater adventure by the developers of Sega’s aquatic classic.
While isn’t actually a part of the Ecco the Dolphin franchise, it appears to feature similar gameplay elements.
From what we can tell, the game will also feature multiplayer elements and a kid-friendly aesthetic."

Intellivision Amico delayed again
The retro console is now due to launch "by the end of the year"

"We want to apologise as we are forced to push our desired launch date yet again.
In spite of these supply hurdles hampering our ability to fill all orders, we are focused and determined to deliver pre-ordered units by the end of the year.
This will also allow us more time to optimise our operating system for future game development."

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.

Better than nothing, indeed.
Streets of Rage 4 wasn't even made by SEGA, but it was my favorite game last year.
I'm just glad the franchise is coming back.

Sega renews trademarks on trio of obscure Mega Drive and Saturn games
Ranger X, Crusader of Centy, and Linkle Liver Story

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.

I guess with Nex Entertainment gone no need to let these original games for Sega consoles go to waste.
Question is will Sega do anything with them or just these franchises stagnate for years to come?

'Disney Classic Games Collection' Gets Rated For Switch,
Now With Added Jungle Book
(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.

I remember how difficult the Disney Mega Drive games were... and how good Aladdin was.

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.

A Frogger TV series? This is something I'd expect in the '90s.
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 don't think many kids now are recognizing Frogger.
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.
-
From what I understand Crossy Roads is randomly generated so there's that it has over Frogger.

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)
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 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.

Never owned a CD 32X, kinda glad I didn't.
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.

There are a few games for the Sega CD that catches my eye but still not really worth it. Maybe if it came out as the Sega Neptune then I would of bothered with it.

SEGA CD has definitely better line up games compared to 32X.
But 32X exclusives are more unique :

That's true. Sega really wanted to push what they could do with the Mega Drive could do at the time but in doing so burned out audience interest for the console.

These New Sega Charging Mats Let You Wirelessly Charge Your Phone In Style
(https://i1.wp.com/images.nintendolife.com/5dda73b313583/1280x720.jpg)
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, Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute, and Cotton 100% coming west in 2021

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.

I mean.. the game has 12 SEGA Master System games in it.

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)

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.

Ebony's one of my fave StC characters.
But yeah, an "Avatar Battle Mode" as I call it would be great. Especially if it's expanded to be like the standard MMO-set up for PSO games.

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.

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.

Intellivision Entertainment Announces Amico Roadshow and Tour

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Alright, I'll add it to my list of reasons to get a Nintendo Switch. I don't own a switch but those Joycons don't look all that practical for my giant meaty hands.

Khinsider Has Removed 500+ Albums Related to Sega
(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)
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)
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.

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)
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)
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.

Rebalance and Script Touch-up Patch for Super Hydlide Released
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/06254e68646c14ad3e571ef8136ba2bc/tumblr_pg7eb4NaOJ1sdk28ko1_640.jpg)
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)
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
(https://i1.wp.com/cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/images/08_content_images/systems_5/nintendo_switch_3/nintendo_switch_online/CI_NSwitch_NintendoSwitchOnline_Sega_LineUp.jpg?w=640&ssl=1)
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.

He almost made it to 2022 but he fumbled the ball.
...
Sorry if that was insensetive. I dunno much on american rugby. And New Year is just three days from now.
Wikipedia doesn't say how he died. I pressume he passed away naturally?
-
I guess. The information of his death came from NFL and NFL only said he died unexpectedly and did not detail a cause.
I dunno much on american rugby too, soccer is much popular here.

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".

New animations for the Courtyard (monks and tsung), Palace Gates (Flame), Warrior’s Shrine (Flame during Ermac fight) and Throne Room (Shang Tsung head + Shang Tsung clap).
Added +80 sound samples from the Arcade!

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)
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.

Dragon Ball Z - Buyuu Retsuden (Mega Drive) gets an Android 18 Improved Sprite
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii_hMjprrfo
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.

'Snatcher' Composer Motoaki Furukawa Sued Over Payment Dispute
(https://i.gifer.com/origin/ab/aba2732825296409659d7d369276f921.gif)
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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/58ed103ab071039ae742ba6d48ebf58a/2ea9a3204a655ea7-fb/s540x810/7f7a787faaee58868f91aaf7988663a88f3fa019.pnj)
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."

Interview: Randy Breen (Road Rash Creator)
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/1124ff2972b755eafa732223a39f6893/986cb04787648c1e-a1/s540x810/f6a20650448f75d911643e0bbeecb88b30442e0c.gifv)
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.

And that is what makes me sad about all the comments.
Return to Monkey Island may not be the art style you wanted or were expecting but it’s the art style I wanted.

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)
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 - Promotion Trailer

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

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/220606_2_09.jpg)
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.

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)

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.

Treasure Turns 30: Three Decades of Subverting Genres

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.

On this SEGA Talk, we pop Rise of the Dragon into our SEGA CD and give it a spin.
Is this cyberpunk adventure a hidden gem or a poor man’s Snatcher?
How does the SEGA CD version compare to the DOS original?
And what’s the background on developer Dynamix?
Let’s find out!

SEGA's Virtua Racing - Battle of the Home Ports!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdFuZ8j7ZMo
(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/8/81/VirtuaRacing_Saturn_JP_Box_Front.jpg/600px-VirtuaRacing_Saturn_JP_Box_Front.jpg)
(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/3/32/Virtrac_md_jp_cover.jpg/800px-Virtrac_md_jp_cover.jpg)
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAhzz-N3OJY
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/93aab7de311af615eacf3a75b9e34508/tumblr_pi1it6RbyD1roqda3o1_640.gifv)
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ESWAT_mockup1-600x410.jpg)
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?

SEGA Is Teasing A New Game, Reveal Happening Soon
(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d7/65/4f/d7654f078324a9f69c160bab0dfc2aba--ecco-the-moon.jpg)
IGN's 'Summer of Gaming' continues tomorrow and apparently an exciting "world premiere exclusive" will be presented by SEGA.
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.

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.

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

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.

While the game was published by SEGA, the story was made by Rob Fulop and Digital Pictures, not SEGA themself.
May be that's why.

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.

Falling flesh... Yuck. But that will make it a memorable horror scene if there's a video scene of it in the game.

It make an interesting monster, especially foot-soldier monsters, creaturs that require artificial means to sustain themselves... kinda human if you think about it.

Interesting? Yes. But more work for the CGI or make up department since it's a live action kind of 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.

I doubt Night trap will get any form of media adaption though so we'll probably never see augers again.

Who knows someday somebody want to make a sequel of it.
I meant ... even Shaq Fu could get a sequel even though the original game wasn't good.

It's sequel.
The gameplay has changed though from VS Figting to beat 'em ups.

SEGA Genesis Mini 2 will be in much shorter supply (around one-tenth) than original
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8RGornqWgw
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.

From the archives: In the early '00s a VectorMan title was being planned for the PlayStation 2, but ultimately never came to light.
This bit of artwork for the game was used at E3 to promote it!

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

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
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYE46wFnpfU/VagKMB2YOsI/AAAAAAAAXPE/JB3PPFLkouI/s1600/pb07.png)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2NRn1mkNAE
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.

15 SNES Games That Were Better On Sega Genesis
(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ParchedJovialBittern-max-1mb.gif)
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.

As Uncle recalls his memories of ax-wielding battlers and draconic forces, Takafumi keeps noticing one thing: the swooning heroines who failed to catch his romantically oblivious uncle’s attention!

He wrote all 3200 questions himself & M2 had to expand the ROM to fit em all, as the OG could only hold 3000 Qs

SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis Mini 2 Trivia - Space Harrier II with sprite scaling (+ original Space Harrier inside)
(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/220822_3_47.jpg)

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.

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/220822_3_45.jpg)
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.
While playing the game, he triumphantly explains how to defeat the enemy.
He says that the experience he gained from playing SEGA games was useful even in a different world, and he begins to talk about when he cooperated with the novice adventurer Alicia and her party to subjugate a horde of goblins.
On the other hand, Takafumi, who goes out to deliver Fujimiya's smartphone she forgot to bring, witnesses Fujimiya walking with a Yankee.
He borrows the power of magic from her uncle and goes to help, but...

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 cancelled “Super Spin”, developed by Zyrinx Software in 1993 for the Sega Genesis, Rom is Found!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqM9eNpmTZk
Because this is in such an early state, different terrains such as grass and water do not stop or slow down the player.
A small debug display of sorts also appears within the lower left corner of the screen, although its intended purpose is currently unknown.

The Full Story Behind Sega Channel, Sega's Precursor To Game Pass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTcIqsFEQNk
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."

You played as a tribesman-turned-into-an-ape named Toki (JuJu in the Japanese version) who had to save Wanda (Miho in the Japanese version), the princess of Toki's tribe of jungle men and potential suitor to him, whom was kidnapped by the evil genetic engineer and witch doctor Dr. Stark.
With all the humans turned into various animals and beasts, Toki's quest to pursue and defeat Dr. Stark and rescue the princess Wanda only became much more difficult.

How renting Story of Thor proved harder than finishing the actual game
(https://c.tenor.com/_lNwuaNFEOYAAAAC/beyond-oasis-the-story-of-thor.gif)
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.

Another my favorite scenes are when he's sleepy in church, slammed the door on the children who were singing, and became a conductor for Christmas songs performers.
About those "religious" games, those kind of games do make funny reviews.
The popular one is from AVGN but my favorite is this one from Cracked :
(https://i.gifer.com/17YY.gif)
"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."

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)
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 ...

from someone who'd know:
"If you talk to the Cheetah pre-race, you can pay them 50 malins to go easy on you."

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.

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.

Bitmap Books cancels The unofficial MD/GEN: a visual compendium, no thanks to SEGA

Given Bitmap Books is in the UK, I have to wonder if this is another case of SEGA Europe being jerks to well intentioned publishers.

SEGA Europe told them to take it down or ...

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)
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 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."

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."

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).

THE MOBILE GAME HAS PLAYERS BATTLING SEGA TO RESTORE A WORLD IT CORRUPTED.
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.”

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)
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

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."

New SEGA survey asks about Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and Streets of Rage

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)
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)
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.

"Legends of 16-Bit Game Development" Book Kickstarter - March 2023 Update

"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.

"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)
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)
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
- Team / Rival browser
Williams/Millions will also get a little bit of white as the car livery had more more white and blue than yellow.

A 272-page PDF of classified Sega of America docs from ~1996 was just posted online.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0GhODuagAA-xQh?format=png&name=small)
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.

Joe Montana was the first voice & picture of Sega Genesis and that's really launched Sega Genesis in North America, not Sonic the Hedgehog

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.
We wanted to get the best guys in every category, so we got the boxer Buster Douglas ..."

Irimajiri Speaks Out About the Saturn, the 32X, and SOA’s Financial Troubles
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0rhEktWAAAhwGz?format=jpg&name=small)
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 ...

Meet Trip, The First New Sonic Character Created By Naoto Ohshima In Decades
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F2i31DDXcAsFJrn?format=jpg&name=small)
"We sent visuals back and forth and had an ongoing dialogue about what the personality should be like," Ohshima says.
"Ideas came up for the character's actions and themes, like an armored lizard and the ouroboros.
I worked on the design while discussing the ideas with Iizuka-san."
"When you look at her, obviously she's covered in armor, and the reason why she's covered in armor in the game is the base of her character is a sungazer lizard in English," Iizuka says.
"In Japanese, it's more direct – it's literally 'armored lizard' in Japanese. But the sungazer is that animal that was being referenced for the deign of Trip."
My only direct interaction with Trip during my hands-on session comes during Act Amy in Lagoon City Zone. After stumbling upon her, she doesn't seem ...

After a brief marketing push, Sega and their audience forgot about Crusader of Centry, and it wasn't until years later that collectors and fans would rediscover this hidden gem.

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.

Michael Jackson Almost Bought Marvel Comics, Moonwalker 3D Comic, etc
The 5 Greatest Michael Jackson Moments in Comics

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.

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)
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
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0WM28lXwAAP5O_?format=jpg&name=small)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Et-oK-cWgAMCdZw?format=jpg&name=small)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E88WfMTVEAcy_Hy?format=jpg&name=small)
"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)
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!

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DpmUGGwVAAABCAn?format=jpg&name=small)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fx5vT7QWIAEkBfg?format=jpg&name=small)
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, ...

While the game should play the same way the original did, it’s been completely rebuilt with a widescreen aspect ratio and an all new clean HD look, plus you can ...

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."

A while back, Limited Run Games announced their partnership with Universal Pictures to make the Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5/4, and Xbox, a compilation of all the official Jurassic Park games on NES, SNES, and Game Boy using their all new Carbon Engine emulation platform. We didn’t talk about this at the time because it wasn’t relevant to Sega in any way, until now. 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). Life finds a way for Sega Genesis to get its dues after all.

In Battle Mode, players will take control of a Metal Fighter, customize it to their liking, and compete to win in three rounds of randomly selected battle stages:
Race – Reach the goal before the other players.
Zap Scrap – Shoot bullets to attack other players. Points are added when you damage an opponent and decrease when you take damage. Open an item box to earn a single powered up bullet.
Star Snatcher – Collect stars within the time limit. You will lose one star if you take damage.
Survival – Stay on the stage until the end while avoiding cannonballs flying from the back of the screen. The scaffolding will collapse if it is hit by a cannonball, or if you stay in one place for too long. If you fall off the screen, then you are out of the game.

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 ...

-Improved the PCM Samples volume.
-Added a reset command (ABC+START during gameplay).

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.

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.

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, ...

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.

The 18 detailed, hand-crafted pages pictographically capture the story of Kolibri and how he saved the world and we didn't even know it.
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!
Limited Edition!

While more customization options are always welcome, it’s the wildcard character slot that intrigues us the most. These impending updates will replace the fan-added Louis Tully, not just with potentially other characters from Ghostbusters but also different fandoms, with the inaugural release serving as a true crossing of the streams, being confirmed as Mega Man’s Sigma. Much like Louis and Winston, these characters will include unique ability ratings, making them play slightly different from one another. If you’d like to ...

"No Hamburgers On The Ground" - How McDonald's Sabotaged Its Own Game

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."

SNES version of Street Fighter 2 doesn't have chain combos ... but the Genesis version has it!

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.

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 ...

(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/2/23/SuperHydlide_MD_US_Box.jpg/800px-SuperHydlide_MD_US_Box.jpg)
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.

While the characters look a little too “World of Warcraft” for my tastes, they do retain the look of the classic trio with new twists. It is likely this is either a reboot or a sequel set years later starring a new cast, as aside from the dwarf looking like Gilius Thunderhead, the male and female look a bit different from the Ax Battler and Tyris Flare fans remember.
Unlike Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe has ...

New Wireless Earphones Look Like a Sega Genesis and Dreamcast
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GB8AMEXbcAADHSb?format=jpg&name=small)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GB8AMDQa4AAdJ5T?format=jpg&name=small)
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
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
(https://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Liven-Mega-Synthesis-750x500.webp)
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 ...

Limited Run Games prepares new limited edition Genesis reprint of Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel;
Pre-orders open until February 4th, 2023
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GDgIlKNXUAACNun?format=jpg&name=small)
This cartridge is only available in NTSC form, meaning PAL Mega-Drive systems may not be able to run the game properly.
That being said, if you’re in Europe trying to order a copy, you may end up paying a lot more for shipping than North American gamers will, considering Limited Run Games is based in the USA.
Limited Run Games has promised to eventually open a European shipping center and a European-centric website back in March, 2023, but ...

Streets of Rage 2 - Italian Translation Patch
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEAaumaW4AAu4T2?format=jpg&name=360x360)
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
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.

Without Ghouls ‘n Ghosts We Wouldn't Have Sonic, Says Yuji Naka

"When I saw the code, I was impressed!'Ah, I see! That's how they're doing it! That's amazing!!'
Daimakaimura was a program that could only move 2 dots horizontally every 1/60 seconds, but if we could move that to around 16 dots, wouldn't it be a completely different game?
I got an idea and decided to make some. Then... this is really fast!
So, in the next stage, when we made the slope of Daimakaimura steeper and steeper... I noticed something.
I thought, 'Huh? If I connect these things together, they'll spin around' As a result, I was able to ..."

Wrestle War's Unauthorised Hulk Hogan Cover Got Sega Into Legal Trouble
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWVh_vxXoAA3b-k?format=jpg&name=small)
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 ..."

ROM Hack For Treasure's Divisive Light Crusader Makes It Easier To Play
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FBL_7AaXICQODLW?format=jpg&name=small)
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)
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 ...

So, hypothetical question, if there were a new Ristar game anytime soon, how would you imagine Sega would renovate it or what direction they would take it?
I've seen the fan game "Ristar 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOexVTMbal0)" but it's been over a year since DevBoyDibs made any updates over it and I dunno if I would want Sega to keep Ristar a side-scroller when he could have gameplay like Werehog Sonic.

Double Dragon Studio Wanted To Make A New 2D Golden Axe

The developer gives a little more information on how the game's magic system would have worked, as well as a proposed dismemberment mechanic:
Magic would be AOE (instead of full screen), but I imagine that the elements would play a big role, not only in terms of weakness, but using different elements against different monster might have different effect, giving opportunity to chop off different parts.
This isn't the first time Secret Base has expressed an interest in working with this IP; last year, it revealed a different mock-up for a new Golden Axe.

If taken in a direction similar to Kirby, I can imagine Ristar in a 3D game. Though given Ristar hasn't had a game since the Mega Drive, I doubt it is in Sega's interest to bring him back.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GKF1Y3nXsAAxDZF?format=jpg&name=large)
I'm not going to do anything... but I do have ideas for how a new Ristar game could work. Inspired by Meta-Knight, I can imagine a Ristar OC named Alistar, despite being an anti-hero, still wants to help Ristar.
New "minions" to Kaiser Greedy in mind are Null and Void, twin-villains.
EDIT: I've given it some thought, and maybe a "Raymans Origins" approach would be a more ideal approach for Ristar. Reintroduce him as a reboot with a more animated style like modern Rayman games, but still has that colourful vibrancy as Kirby games.
If I ever feel like attempting a concept demo, I might try it. I can imagine face-designs for Ristar, as well as a brand-new backstory as a demigod. I'm tempted to introduce something of the likes of "Star Warriors (https://kirby.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Warrior)", his father was a legendary hero amongst them and likely the last of the Star Warriors, who the Star Goddess Oruto had a child with. Because of the heroes absence due to Kaiser Greedy's takeover, Oruto awoken her son to save the Valdi System and find his father.

Well, Fantasy Zone and Space Harrier take place in the same... I'm presuming an area of space. Putting the Valdi System in the Fantasy Zone could be a maybe.
But here's my "revised Ristar" story so far.
- The Valdi System consist of eight planets. (I'm not sure where Planet Terra or Timu fit into it, I don't remember these planets.) Each planet is inhabited by a unique dominant species, such as Planet Flora which is inhabited by goblin-like people.
- I've yet to decide the currency of the Valdi System, but I imagine something of the like of Tiffany Yellow Diamonds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany_Yellow_Diamond) being the common coinage of sorts. (Though in a hypothetical remake of Ristar, I can't really imagine much use for currency, let alone a point-system.).
- At some point in history, the Valdi System had something a kin to "Star Warriors (https://kirby.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Warrior)", an organization that consist of various mix of aliens that serve as galactic defenders of the Valdi System who fought against some great threat. While they have won the war, the numbers greatly dwindled.
- Alistar was the greatest of the Star Warriors, so great he won the favour of Oruto, the Star Goddess. Oruto fell in love with the mortal hero.
- After a time of peace, a new invader arrives to the Valdi System, a pirate named Kaiser Greedy who sought to establish a galactic empire. "Planet Greedy" being a ship of sort.
- What makes Kaiser Greedy so powerful, as well as his name sake, is that his planet/ship is powered by a black hole! Kaiser Greedy draws power from it, able to create and control "mini black holes" which he uses to attack.
- Kaiser Greedy has the unique power to create lifeforms from dark matter. He turns them into Black Orbs (https://ristar.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Orbs).
- Black Orbs are an extremely adaptive and transformative enemy. "Orblets (https://ristar.fandom.com/wiki/Orblets)" being somewhat of a protoform of black orb creatures, but when black ob creatures find themselves in an alien ecosystem, they quickly transform and adapt to their surroundings.
- Kaiser Greedy's henchmen are Inonis (https://ristar.fandom.com/wiki/Inonis) and Uranim (https://ristar.fandom.com/wiki/Uranim). Inonis is scientist and engineer, able creating machines for Greedy, maintaining his armour and creating weapons powered by dark matter or monsters from black orb creatures. Uranim is the muscles, a cyborg created by Inonis and powered by a black orb creature.
- With Alistar, the last of the legendary heroes missing, Oruto awaken their son, Ristar, to find him and to save the Valdi System.

I guess this is a Schwarzschild black hole kind.
The one that has no electric charge or angular momentum.
The neutral one that doesn't spin.
Well, in the original Ristar game, Kasier Greedy would use what I presume are "mini black holes" in battle. And when he is defeated, his fortress seems to implode in on itself. So my guess is Kaiser Greedy manipulates dark matter and black holes.

Imagine ... A guy who could manipulates dark matter and black holes was defeated by ... a boy whose weapon is his long strecthy arms.
Kinda funny but many Japanese anime were kinda like that. Teenager vs a godlike creature.

I think it's also more about on the characters for figures / merchs.
RPG has richer characters (both on quantity and development) compared to platformer.

Yeah, maybe if Ristar had more than one game then despite it's cartoon like design it could have been more marketable.
I mean, I have a feeling Ristar was supposed to be Sega's answer to Kirby at the time.
This is why I wish Sega were more intuitive over their IPs. Kirby is older than Ristar but still around.

The Original Version Of Columns For The HP-UX Has Just Been Found

Most people will probably know of Columns from Sega's versions of the game — which have since been reissued across various compilations and mini consoles — but the title actually has an interesting history that predates those releases.
It was originally designed by Jay Geersten for the HP-UX operating system while working at Hewlett Packard in 1989, who later gave his source code to various other developers to produce additional versions for MS-DOS, Atari ST, Macintosh, and Windows 3.x.
In the past, Geersten's original HP-UX version of the game was considered to be lost media, but yesterday, the video game collector @TrevgauntletNeu (https://twitter.com/TrevgauntletNeu) announced that they had found the original title and had managed to get it working in MAME. They've since shared ...

(https://i.ibb.co/gPS99Mn/nhl24.png)
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 title screens, banners, player photos, scoreboard, audience, face-offs, player sprites, nets, ice markings, coaches, scorekeepers, Zamboni driver, and more. The goal is to bring ...

She was the one whose bond level was most maxed out, and players fed her 1,830,451 Jellied Eels. Chun-Li came in second, and Juri in third. However, while Ken wasn’t in the top three, he was the most popular male Master character.

Well, today is the 64th birthday of Sega, so Happy Birthday, Sega! Now, in the past few years, Sega made announcements of new mini consoles on their birthdate, as they had done with the Genesis/Mega-Drive Mini 2 (https://segabits.com/blog/2022/06/03/sega-introduces-mega-drive-mini-2-featuring-mega-cd-games-releasing-october-27-in-japan/) and the Game Gear Micro (https://segabits.com/blog/2020/06/02/sega-announces-game-gear-micro-handheld/), so we now we can expect a new one to be announced any second now…….. annnnnnnnnny second now…

Here is the exact translated message from Okunari-san: "Speaking of Sega’s anniversary, it’s been exactly two years today since the early ...

It's actually a coincidence, but a coincidence that Ed likes since he also likes John C. Lilly.
Ed's boss Clyde Grossman was the one who named it Echo which then Ed changed into Ecco because Ecco's speeling is more likable than Echo.

Wardner / Wardner no Mori Special is a platform game developed by Dragnet and released for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991.
It is based on a 1987 arcade game called Wardner no Mori in Japan and Pyros in North America, which was developed by Toaplan and published by Taito.
Columbus Circle (in a deal with Tatsujin) announced an aftermarket re-release of the game in Japan for September 2024, dropping the Special from the title and naming it as Wardner no Mori instead.

This emulated PC-8801 version of the title was initially released in 1991 before seeing several ports over the years. Its sole English release was for the Sega CD in 1995.
Interestingly, there’s quite a bit of history surrounding this Western release, as it was initially conceived to be a remake that would make it a Sonic the Hedgehog spinoff, Sister Sonic.
However, fans’ negative reception to this decision, as they instead wanted a faithful Popful Mail release, succeeded, resulting in Sister Sonic’s eventual cancellation. Another notable tidbit is that ...

After 29 years someone’s finally made a Sega Neptune console for everyone to own

The console will be compatible with real Mega Drive and 32X cartridges, along with games from the Sega CD.
It will also sport a HDMI connection with 1080p resolution, an SD card slot for storage, and will come with its own online platform to access ‘proprietary and exclusive services’.
While the project was announced in a trailer last month, there’s been no official images or a price for the machine itself – so it sounds like it might be a way off yet.
It’s also unclear if it will be available outside of Brazil. GamesCare is a store based in Sao Paulo which makes and sell ...

SEGA Almost Ported Shining Force 1 And 2 To Saturn

The porting guidelines used for SEGAAGES and the like couldn't be used as is due to the capacity of ROM cartridges, and making it with CD access in mind would have meant a complete remake rather than a port, so we concluded that if we were going to spend our energy on that, we should focus on Scenario 3.
There was also the idea of outsourcing the porting work, but as mentioned above, there were too many ..."

"We Are Waiting For A Reply From Sega" - SuperSega FPGA Console Team Talk Price, Release Date And More

"The design; some people do not like it, others do – but it looks like that because we started with Master System," she says. "Our family had the Master System Plus, the one with lightgun, so we were inspired to create the SuperSega as a tribute."
'SuperSega' FPGA console will play Genesis, Master System, Saturn, and Dreamcast Games.
We're pleased to report that two omissions from the original spec list – Sega 32X and Sega CD – will be playable on SuperSega. However, the former will require the use of the 32X itself.
The claim that SuperSega will be capable of replicating Dreamcast-level performance with FPGA also raised a few eyebrows. We asked if the team actually had Dreamcast games running on the Virtex Ultrascale+; Burgués replied that "a few games" are up and running and that the Ultrascale+ has "100K-200K of logic cells that can emulate ...

Genesis Virtua Racing Port Almost Cost As Much As The Console Itself, Thanks To The SVP Chip

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ErQeuZ9XcAMSFPM?format=jpg&name=small)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ErhZhMAXIAA5PxM?format=jpg&name=small)
the SVP was incredibly expensive, with Sega's Hideki Sato stating that it cost around ¥10,000 (around $62 in modern money) per unit. Given that the average price of a video game back in the early '90s was around $40-$60, it was clear that Sega wasn't going to be making much profit from this conversion.
In fact, in an interview with Beep! magazine dating from 1994, a Sega representative said that the company almost priced it at ¥12,800 ($80) – which was as much as the console itself was selling for in Japan at that point. In the end, it was decided that the game would be released at ¥9,800 (just over $60), but it was noted that had it included a save RAM, the price could have been as high as ¥14,800 (approximately $91).
Junichi Terashima, who created the SVP chip, confirms that the price was so steep that Sega was considering putting the chip inside a separate add-on module, which could ...

Phantasy Star IV: Grand Cross is a PSIV ROM hack with immersive story-craft and presentation. Coming 2025!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJEyg4WWoAA_FX9?format=png&name=small)
Grand Cross, with its ambitiously reworked script and enhanced programming, takes aim at fully realizing the potential of this Sega classic. Apt characterization and contextual writing are the heart and soul of any narrative-rich role-playing game, but without the complement of more expressive and nuanced event scripting, such an effort, no matter how carefully crafted, runs a risk of compromising pacing and undermining the abstract charms inherent to games of this graphical fidelity and pedigree.
Grand Cross hones its superior storycraft and finely-tuned presentation to heighten immersion while honoring the spirit of the original. It is as much a new way to play as it is a ...

Developed by @Mr_Badger, the soon-to-be-released teaser is an unofficial take on Nextech's 1994 Zelda rival, which was released under three different titles – Shin Souseiki Ragnacënty (Japan), Crusader Of Centy (North America) and Soleil (Europe).
"I preferred not to say anything until it was completed," said Mr_Badger on social media. "I can finally announce that Soleil HD will be published on July 30 on Itch. The next few days, I will try to ..."

I saw enough hype for the new Shinobi, Jet Set Radio, and Crazy Taxi games in Facebook and X.
But not for the Golden Axe and Streets of Rage ones.

Understandable. But to give Beast Riders some credit, at least it tried to preserve the Hyborian-like barbarian setting the original series tried to emulate. I hope the remakes will do just the same.

Oh well, I guess third-party tech once again.
And who knows when this product will be ready. It could take years.
My ideal "new Sega console" would be a small form factor gaming computer, like VALVe's Steam Machine. And just like the Steam Machine it would still allow Sega to be a multi-platform corporate just a machine that would be ideal for Sega games. Perhaps fitted with an emulator that allows at least some degree of backwards compatibility.
Yeah, it's the closest thing to ZELDA in a Mega Drive console.
If I was a big-wig at Sega during the '90s, I would've proposed instead of replacing Alex Kidd with Sonic, Alex could compete with the Zelda franchise.

I'm pretty sure he'll go 3D.

I like to imagine his games competing with the Zelda franchise while still being a platform game like Mario Odyssey or Sonic Frontiers.
I had ideas for an Alex Kidd game which serves as a reboot to the series. One of my ideas to contribute to Alex Kidd would be the Bladecore and Fancore as alternates to Shellcore (https://alex-kidd.fandom.com/wiki/Shellcore). Gooseka, Chokkinna, and Parplin would be recast as allies and teachers to Alex who teach these various core techniques. The core techniques are used in combat as well as some puzzle solving that follow the rock-paper-scissors relations.
I even came up with this in-game card game that also use rock-paper-scissors relations to play. The idea was various towns had saloons where Janken's loyalists hang out and Alex could go in and play cards with them. This card game was to replace the regular rock-paper-scissors matches.
When Miracle World DX came out, I decided to forget the idea given no point in a reboot now that we have a remake, but I might reuse the rock-paper-scissors card game idea somewhen along the line.

I was sort of inspired by Triple Triad (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Triple_Triad) but what I have in mind is a lot different to it.
I wanted to give the impression of going into a saloon with lots of sordid sorts looking at you and playing cards with tough guys. A card game that requires strategy to play but still has a degree of blind luck, like Poker.
The cards consist of a pretty picture and three symbols above it. These symbols being ✊, ✋ and ✌️. These symbols vary in arrangements, some with two of the same symbols, some with blank instead of symbols. (For example ✌️✌️✋, ✋✊✌️ or ✌️✌️_.) For collectors value, the cards may have a 5-star rank but the ranks and pictures aren't important, it's the symbols.
There are two ways to play with these cards:
1v1
Both players prepare their decks by ×5, 15 being the minimal and draw cards to have five cards in each hands. Players take a turn to place a card on a 5×2 field where each player takes up a row. When one card is placed, the ✊✋✌️symbols correspond to the symbols on the cards on both the opposing side and the neighbouring cards. Cards whose symbols are beaten by another card's symbol are put aside as "exhausted". The player with the least exhausted cards win.
1v3
All four players agree on a number of cards to play with, While 1 each can be a minimum, 3 would be ideal and more cards for more rounds. The cards are held, not put aside as decks. The round begins with players choosing a single card in their hand and place it face down. When all players have placed a face down card then the second phase begins, all players turn their cards over to see how the symbols on their cards match to the three other cards on the table. Each player win or lose points per other cards that round. All four cards and put aside for the next round, which is selecting another card from hand. Player with the highest points win.
Remake and reboot are different things though so who knows someday we'll have a proper reboot of Alex Kidd.
Perhaps. Heck my card game alone could serve as a spin-off game itself. I might do that if I ever make an "Alex Kidd: RPBG".

I would say he is about as much of an elf as Hylians are from the Zelda series.
I know that Alex Kidd in Miracle World was originally going to be a Dragon Ball game until Sega lost the rights during development, so the reason why Alex looks a bit monkey-like could be accounted for how Son Goku is based on Sun Wukong.
I mean, Alex once fought an ox (https://alex-kidd.fandom.com/wiki/Ox) and a bear (https://alex-kidd.fandom.com/wiki/Grizzly_Bear), didn't Goku once fought animals in his original series?

It probably would be easier to show the rules with pictures, but I couldn't be bothered to draw them and temporary host them. The gameplay is rather simple.
I wanted to give the feel of playing Poker, but rules that children can understand. Plus re-using the rock-paper-scissors dynamic as an alternate than just... well, rock-paper-scissors as it is.

Yeah, but as far as I'm aware, Hylians are never refered to as elves despite having pointy ears. So could be the same for Radaxians.

Yeah, but as far as I'm aware, Hylians are never refered to as elves despite having pointy ears. So could be the same for Radaxians.
You're right, I guess it's more safe to just call him a Radaxian.
He's also based on Bruce Lee's role as Billy Lo in the movie "Game of Death".
It's been ages since the last time I watched Bruce Lee movies, I forgot which one is which.

You're right, I guess it's more safe to just call him a Radaxian.
Plus, it's kind of hard to tell if Radaxians are like Hylians in biology or not.
Our four examples of Radaxians are Alex, his brother Igul, his brothers wife Lora and his friend (maybe girlfriend) Stella. Are all Radazians dwarfish in stature or just this group?
Plus, pictures vary if Radaxians have pointy ears or not. Most of them seem to just have large round ears.
It's been ages since the last time I watched Bruce Lee movies, I forgot which one is which.
I might watch Game of Death later.

This is a small work made with much affection, in homage to Soleil / Crusader of Centy for the Mega Drive. I wish we could offer you a longer adventure; this game was created in my spare time, with the collaboration of Cherry and Dan for the character and DavidKBD for the music.
The initial idea was to create a small demo of what a remake of Soleil could look like. At first, it was intended to be just a minimal playable area with basic movement controls. However, once it was underway, I decided to recreate the entire village and add a small story to give it context and a bit more gameplay.
In the year and six months since I started, development has had ...

Judging from the comic panels I guess we could indeed conclude that they're not siblings.
Because if they're siblings, Alex would said "This is my sister Stella." instead of just go with "This is Stella."

It's like playing on Game Gear Micro.
The problem is VMU only has two buttons while most Genesis games needed 3 buttons.

The director of the game, Tetsu "Tez" Okano, has taken to social media to urge developers to create their own SEGAGAGA.
"If SEGAGAGA has a unique significance, it is that it was made on a budget that is a hundredth of Shenmue's, and from nothing but ideas," says Okano. "Please everyone, please make your own SEGAGAGA!"
He also reveals more about the game's development:
The reason why this happened is that SEGAGAGA was made in secret, as it was highly likely to be stopped if shown to many people during the process. I can only thank then-President Oguchi, Mr Takezaki and Mr Sasahara from the PR department for making the decision to launch it.
SEGAGAGA was checked considerably by the publicist at the time, one month before launch. There were a lot of elements that were completely removed, besides the ..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgY9RVsJyvM

This includes some early pre-announcements of titles that have yet to be properly revealed, such as a new set of reissues of the Toaplan shoot 'em ups Slap Fight and Grind Stormer from Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden (thanks Gosokkyu for the spot!).

12,000 Fake Nintendo And Sega Consoles To Be Destroyed In Major Retro Gaming Bust
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EhLAywvUwAAhZF3?format=jpg&name=small)
“Around 12,000 consoles on which more than 47 million pirated video games were illegally stored were seized, for an estimated value of more than €47.5 million (US$52.5 million),” Alessandro Langella, head of the economic crime unit for Turin’s financial police.
The fake retro consoles, meanwhile, were manufactured in China and sold online and in stores, and apparently ran afoul of EU technical and safety standards. Police arrested nine men in connection with the fake consoles, and charged them with trading in counterfeit goods.
It certainly sounds like these counterfeit consoles were your run-of-the-mill emulation devices running stolen ROMs, the type you see pop up at mall kiosks around the holidays—just potentially in plastic housings that ...

Designer Jugles has put together a block-based tribute to Yu Suzuki's 1986 arcade racer, complete with a scenic vista and moving joystick.
"I wanted to try to recreate the iconic starting scene from OutRun Stage 1 aswell as giving it my own twist," the creator says. "The building consists of 1735 bricks forming a diorama playing with perspective. The frame of the build is meant to resemble an arcade machine. The joystick is movable and linked with the car to make it possible to slightly shift the car from side to side."
As with all Lego Ideas pitches, this needs to reach a certain number of user votes before it ...

After Burner creator Yu Suzuki was inspired by the iconic 1986 Tom Cruise film Top Gun, of course, but also Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
"In the beginning, I was thinking of something more like Laputa: Castle in the Sky, something with that science-fiction anime feel. But Sega’s taikan games were to be sold not only in Japan, but in America, Europe, and all over the world. So we ended up switching things to an F-14 fighter jet, something that would be recognizable and approachable for anyone, no matter what country they were from."
Mirage Feathers looks and feels like a collision of After Burner, Suzuki’s original concept, and a distinctly 2024 nostalgia for the anime of the ’80s and ’90s.
In the opening sequence, the heroine shoots down a squad of jets that may as well have flown from Suzuki’s classic, her mechanical wings fluttering like a butterfly’s as she reloads a payload of heat-seeking rockets.

While the Bitmaps were focused on home computers for the majority of their career, several of the company's biggest titles were ported to consoles, giving the firm global fame. Speedball made its way to the 8-bit NES (as KlashBall) and Sega Master System, while its sequel would receive even more more conversions, eventually ending up on the NES, Mega Drive and even the Game Boy. The Chaos Engine and Gods also made the jump to consoles, with the latter – the book reveals – almost being a CD-enhanced launch title for the abandoned (and recently rediscovered) SNES PlayStation.
Like Read Only Memory's Sensible Software 1986-1999 (which covers another of the UK's premier '90s studios and one which had strong ties to the Bitmaps thanks to its association with Renegade Software, the publisher founded by the Bitmap Brothers in 1991 which was eventually sold to Time Warner in 1995) this book features plenty of amusing moments that tread the fine line between comedy and tragedy; tales of people sleeping under desks in duvets stolen from their kids, business meetings taking place topless due to an impromptu fish tank clean and people being kicked so hard in their nether regions that they ...

Why are Sega delisting these classics?
I'm an advocate for more Master System to Saturn games to be added to Steam. With Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Collection to be updated to support these titles.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/34270/discussions/0/2561864094341105953
Now Sega wants to take them all away? Why? Sega needs to provide a source for the classics, not take them away!
This is why players are turning towards roms and emulators. Not to pirate the latest games for free, but just to play the old games that are no longer available on modern platforms, or for technology no longer available.

Sega Wanted Phantasy Star IV To Flop In The West, Hence The Sky-High $100 Price

So says Working Designs' Victor Ireland. Ireland reveals that Sega of America was initially going to pass on publishing Phantasy Star IV in the US until he showed an interest:
"The reason Phantasy Star IV came out the US from Sega was because of me.
It wasn't supposed to come out. They had rejected it. And I found out about it because I was dealing with Sega Japan a lot. I said, 'oh my god, I will absolutely license it. We'll do a cartridge.' I don't want to do cartridges because they're very expensive up front, but I know that this will sell a lot of games.
Then Sega Japan went to Sega US because they had an adversarial relationship, let's be honest. And they were like, 'well, look, if this is so bad, why is Working Designs all hot to get this game and bring it out to the US?'"
Ireland claims that Sega of America decided to publish the game off the back of him pushing to license it but deliberately priced it high so it would be a commercial flop, thereby vindicating the original stance in the eyes of Sega of Japan:
"Sega US was like, look, okay, we will take this game, we're going to price it so high that nobody will buy it so we can be proved right in the end when the sales suck.
The PR was like, 'oh, it's because it's a big ROM, blah, blah, blah.' It had nothing to do with that. If we had done it, it would have been a $69 game, no problem. And they could have done it at $69, too. But they priced it at a hundred bucks because they didn't want it to sell.
They wanted the sales to be low so that Sega Japan was like, oh, Sega US was right. Well, surprise, they sold out. It was very popular, even at a hundred bucks... and I made some enemies at ..."

Same question was asked (some of them are even are angry rants) by many other SEGA fans too.
At first some thought that may be SEGA's partnership with D3T Limited (who develop the SEGA® Mega Drive Classics™) was ended and SEGA is preparing a new one with another developer.
But turned out it's not just SEGA® Mega Drive Classics™ that's being delisted.
The SEGA Dreamcast Collection ones too!
Even Sonic the Fighters and NiGHTS into Dreams on XBox too!

Super Street Fighter II (SEGA Genesis) - "Evil Ryu" Patch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_kvI3hFjtk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_kvI3hFjtk)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GOjpvmxW0AAoVQO?format=jpg&name=360x360)
This patch by BillyTime! Games is designed to add a Ryu variant to Super Street Fighter II for the Sega Genesis.
With Omega SF2 in development, this hack is rather redundant.
This is a short playthrough showing off Evil Ryu. He deals extra damage and all hit set both players on fire. He even has his own unique win quote!
He is accessed by pressing start on Ryu at the character select screen.
Only bug so far is when you game over, the portrait palettes get a bit wonky.

It's still a risque move, there's a reason why Square back then didn't want to bring Final Fantasy IV and V to the west.
Also this is still one side of the story, we haven't heard from SOA's side.

Lunar Remastered Won't (Currently) Include The Original English Voice Acting, But It's Been Offered "For Cheap"

When Lunar Remastered Collection was announced a short while ago, it was met with an overwhelmingly positive reaction online.
Lunar is one of the best JRPG series of the '90s, having started life on the Sega CD before being ported to the Saturn and PS1.
One of the big questions surrounding the release was its English localisation. Working Designs famously localised the games for Sega CD and PS1, bringing in a host of voice talent to deliver the versions that most people are nostalgic about today.
Despite speculation that this new remaster package would include Working Designs' localisation, it would seem that isn't the case – and Working Designs founder, Victor Ireland, is keen to stress that the blame for that doesn't sit with him, as some have suggested.
Speaking on the Retro Hangover podcast, Ireland explains that he has offered the Working Designs localisation to GungHo, the company behind the remasters, but at the time of writing, they haven't taken him up on ...

For Phantasy Star IV's case yes, but generally 16-bit RPG on western didn't sell as well as sport titles (in US) or platformers (in Europe).
After few years passes (in 32-bit era) then western gamers have started to notice RPG's charms while their 16-bit sport titles have aged badly.

Several VHS recordings of never before seen Sega Channel found and preserved online
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GbziuL4XYAc2PVL?format=jpg&name=360x360)
To our knowledge, the bulk of this footage is of several periods in Sega Channel history of which visuals and music were never preserved since. The footage comes from two separate VHS tapes dated 1997 and 1998, so we’re looking at moments of Sega Channel from the last couple of months where it was online. While the games shown are stuff we already knew was part of the service, there are some things to note. First, the Earthworm Jim hints video, which was never preserved, is shown here for the first time since the late 90’s. Second, it shows gameplay footage of Pulseman (1994), one of the more well known import games available in North America only via Sega Channel (Which is now currently available again through a different games on demand online service: Nintendo Switch Online). Third, one of the videos shows some Vectorman fan art that one especially creative Sega Channel subscriber sent in to have viewable to ...

FANTASIA (Sega Genesis) - Hack - Improvement and Mode 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwTxKGFXMJM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwTxKGFXMJM)

This Fantasia hack for the Sega Genesis tries to make the game more playable.
Improvements by tryphon:
Turnover, jump preparation and reception animations are removed, and Mickey keeps his momentum. It makes the game much more enjoyable
swimming physics is lighter : when not using button C, you don’t sink anymore (you must press “down” for that)
Hitbox have been refined a little : they stay too big when you attack (making attack easy), but are shrunk when you’re being attacked (making defense easier). It’s far from perfect though, since the hitbox system of the game is quite primitive
2 cheat codes have been implemented:
A+B+C+Start on the title screen - invulnerability.
A+B+C+Right when paused - go to the next scene in the current stage.
A+B+C+Up when paused - go to the first scene of the next stage.
Improvements by Razor:
Staring magic: 7 to 30
Rebalanced magic cost:
Little spell: 1 to 0
Big spell: 3 to 1
Rebalanced damage:
Little spell: 1 to 1
Big spell: 3 to 2
Bounce attack : 1 to 4
Rebalanced magic refill:
Simple flying spell book: 1 to 8
Secret flying spell book: 3 to 8
Mode 1 support is made by @Bonemagee and Razor

SEGA said, "No worries if you already own a game or bundle.
These gems will still live in your Steam library.
You can download and play SEGA Classics games whenever you want, as long as you own them before December 6th."

The kids in Japan at least.
But these "SEGA Classics games bundle" was only released in western so Japanese gamers didn't lose anything too.
I know, I still have all the Mega Drive games on Steam... but still. Was hoping Master System and Sega Saturn games will have Steam releases eventually.

Oh for sure, if I were to direct "Sega Superstars VR" I would have:
- A compilation of games, just as the original Sega Superstars (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sega_Superstars) game had, but for virtual reality gameplay.
- A "3-D Glasses (https://segaretro.org/3-D_Glasses)" feature, where you can play 3-D master System games via your VR headset.
- Tech Demos of existing Sega games to serve as "proof of concept", Rise of Nightmares being one of them.

SEGA didn't even bother to bring 3-D master System games on 3DS to the west back then.
They were Japanese exclusives and region locked.
I have to buy another 3DS (JP region) just to play them.

There has been quite a bit of Sonic Movie 3 news lately. Of course, the film is premiering in theaters in less than a month from now. But there has been a lot of speculation that a new trailer for the movie may be coming soon, and the sudden increase in media releases, such as character posters, has only fueled the speculation even more.
Well, the speculation can finally end. SEGA and Paramount sent certain people a package containing items such as a cheat code and a Sonic Movie 3 Genesis cartridge. If you play the cartridge and use the cheat code, a message comes up confirming that ...

Is this a real thing? An actual Mega Drive game?
Yes, but most of it is just like museum mode where we can listen to the movie casts saying something,
the game itself is just a micro game of Sonic running away from Shadow with his bike.
After certain time it'll be ended with a message of the date of the second movie trailer.

All four games are immediately accessible to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers following a quick patch update to the app. For more info on each game, check in the article for a synopsis on all of them.

I remember how much of a slug Lion King was to get through.
It's intentional. Disney didn't think it was a good idea for players to be able to complete one of their games during a rental period, so they asked Westwood Studios, the developer, to increase the difficulty of this video game to encourage users to buy it instead of renting it.
The game became unnecessary hard because of it when it should be as fun as Quack Shot or Castle of Illusion.
But to be fair, same things happened with many platformer games in that era.
Streets of Rage 3 is the perfect example.

Powermonger's Developers Hated Its Name, But The Alternatives Weren't Much Better

Powermonger was originally meant to be released under the title Warmonger.
However, at some point during its development, the game's publisher Electronic Arts got cold feet, giving Bullfrog a litany of different reasons as to why the name needed to be changed.
This ranged from EA believing that the title was "too aggressive", to suggestions it may not go over too well in the German market. As a result, a bunch of different names were sent through to the team, some of which were previously listed in the July 1990 issue of The One Magazine.
This included names like Exodus, Overlord, Food (Yep, EA wanted to name a game Food and nothing else, apparently), Ruling Force, Right To Rule, Dominator, and Conqueror.
"They sent through a list and some of them were just absolute bollocks," remembers Alex Trowers, a map editor on the game.
"There was one called The Adventures of Rupert the Battlesheep, which was very specifically because you could recruit shepherds to your army and the sheep would still follow them, and also because our producer at EA was called Rupert Easterbrook ..."

Alfred Chicken (Sega Genesis, Unreleased) (July 14, 1994 prototype) ROM is Now Available to Download!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEjeluFW4AAeQG0?format=jpg&name=small)
A prototype of Alfred Chicken from the Sega Genesis from July 14, 1994.
Developed by Twilight, the game was cancelled due to not having a publisher, as Mindscape dropped out of the project and they were not able to secure another publisher.
This prototype is still relatively early, but is still very playable regardless.
A huge thanks to the anonymous donator who provided this game for release, because preservation matters!

ToeJam & Earl's Co-Creator Offers Update On Upcoming Amazon Film
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GWMsvlTWYAAWJO7?format=jpg&name=small)
As Johnson described, he and co-creator Mark Voorsanger are "gratefully on the sidelines" on the project and are more than happy to let Story Kitchen and Unanimous use their own expertise and run with it. However, that doesn't mean they haven't been kept abreast of new developments and different iterations of the script, with Story Kitchen keeping Johnson and Voorsanger in the loop and soliciting feedback on new revisions.
"We’ve been super happy with what they’ve been creating and feel like it doesn’t just stay true to the IP but actually substantially builds on the themes, characters, and lore," Johnson told us. "I can’t talk about story specifics or even direction yet, but I will say that I was initially unsure about how they were going to appeal to both old fans who love the games and to a new audience who’s never heard of it before. The writers and the folks at Story Kitchen have brought so much humor and heart, and ..."

h0ffman recently ported Sega's 1987 arcade sidescroller Shinobi (https://segabits.com/blog/2025/01/19/shinobi-arcade-game-ported-to-snks-neo-geo-golden-axe-arcade-port-coming-soon/) to the Neo Geo (MVS/AES/CD), by disassembling the arcade version of the game back into source code, and seems to be in the process of giving the same treatment for Golden Axe, sharing some footage of his progress so far.
Speaking about why he started making these Neo Geo ports, h0ffman explained on social media (https://x.com/therealh0ffman/status/1880131198334431649), "I ordered a MisterPi from @TakiUdon_ (https://x.com/TakiUdon_). While waiting for it to arrive I wondered how hard it would be to disassemble an arcade game back to source. Half randomly picked Shinobi, classic game and runs on a 68000. DIsassembled most of it in about a week and wondered what to do with it."
"I also love learning how retro systems ticked so thought maybe the Neo Geo might be a good fit for it as it didn't already exist on the platform. Turns out they are ..."

Streets Of Rage 2's Delisted 3DS Port "Rage Relay Mode" Lives On Thanks To This Genesis Patch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqFPglygMBY
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DlZtHltX0AAzquN?format=jpg&name=small)
The 3DS version added two new modes, Rage Relay and Casual. The former was arguably the most interesting, as it allowed the player to use all four characters during a single playthrough; when one character was defeated, another would step in.
That mode now lives on, thanks to a hack by PPI_Akiko. This adds the Rage Relay mode to the original Mega Drive / Genesis release but not the casual mode, which allowed players to defeat all enemies with a single hit.
Sadly, 3D Streets of Rage 2 is no longer available via the 3DS eShop, as Nintendo has switched off the ...

*Every Gunstar Heroes advertisement included as a bonus.
*An extra patch which adds an EXP system. Players deal extra damage per level. A new level is reached every 200,000 points. Caps at level 6, or 1,000,000 points.

When you discuss the soundtrack to the Streets of Rage series, one name is likely to crop up first: Yuzo Koshiro. The legendary composer behind the likes of Revenge of Shinobi, ActRaiser, Etrian Odyssey and more is indelibly connected with Sega's belt-scrolling series, and his studio, Ancient, was involved with the development of the second and third instalments, too.
However, what some people aren't aware of is the fact that Koshiro didn't compose the music for Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3 alone; he collaborated with the incredibly talented Motohiro Kawashima, who would also return to contribute to Streets of Rage 4 alongside Koshiro. During his career in games, Kawashima worked on titles such as Batman Returns (SMS / Game Gear), Shinobi II (Game Gear), Eye of the Beholder (Sega CD) and Amazing Island (GC).
Kawashima was recently interviewed by Jonathan Tustain, and spoke about ...

This is a complete English translation for the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis version of Puyo Puyo (ぷよぷよ).
The spoken dialog from the STORY MODE has been translated to maintain the original humorous tone when possible.
Where Japanese jokes/slang are used, these have been localized to make sense in English, while keeping to the original context.
The three Japanese voice clips have not been changed. This is to preserve the original voice clips from the original game.

Phantasy Star II getting a fanmade port to the Amiga platform
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FXk9-5DWQAAwKFV?format=jpg&name=medium)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWYP5Z24x90
Homebrew developer RetroLover is now hard at work on an Amiga conversion of the seminal and very influential Genesis/Mega-Drive JRPG Phantasy Star II. That game is their favorite RPG of all time, and this is their way of paying tribute to it and the Amiga platform. The game is being rebuilt in Scorpion Engine, which is made for development of Amiga, Genesis, and even Neo-Geo games, but RetroLover is aiming to make this as faithful to the Genesis original as possible. They’ll still be adding enhancements to make it easier to play through, such as an improved battle system based on that of Phantasy Star IV (1995).
For now, though, the port is still early in development. However, RetroLover has released a demo for the public to try and ...

No one can be trusted in 16th century Japan—warlords hungry for power, ninja spies on terrorist missions, and rebellious peasants right in your own backyard will strike the first chance they get. But you’re pretty tough yours in a lean and mean fighting force, the latest in modern rifle and a cool head to deal win pressure.
After 100 years of chaos, the people of Japan are desperate for peace and order. Will you be the one to end the destruction?
Oda Nobunaga, the mighty leader who strove to unite war-torn Japan, has returned, with more strength, intellect and luck on his side than ever before. Now as Oda, it’s your turn to fight for control of Japan in this ...

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GpD-T8AXEAAuC4o?format=jpg&name=small)
Thanks to The GHZ, we have a newly translated interview with Naoto Ōshima (going incognito under the name Big Island) and Sega CS1 general manager Makoto Oshitani from the December 1991 issue of MD Fan.
The brief interview provides an early look at a post Sonic 1 SEGA and their plans for the future of the series. Notably, SEGA was aware Japanese and Americans had different tastes and to remedy that the plan was to develop two sequels.

Is Ecco coming baxck with the power surge?
I think it's not since the announcement came from Ecco's creator, Ed Annunziata, and not from SEGA.
Remember when Shenmue 3, ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, and Wonder Boy : Asha in Monster World announced?
They are announced by their own creators, not by SEGA, and those games were developed by third parties.

I can accept that. That even if it's not by Sega, the fact Sega at least said "sure" is better than not getting remakes of the Sega games we grew up with at all.
The thing is, the "Sega Renaissance" as I called it barely had anything to do with Sega other than Sega letting it happen amongst third-party developers who did all the work while Sega probably got a cut of profits just from IP ownership than doing anything.
From the looks of it, the "Power Surge (http://y2u.be/0VHYLJR9pNg)" appears Sega themselves are developing games and if the Power Surge really get's Sega's leg back into TLC for their various IPs over than how brief the Sega Renaissance, well I hope those third-party developers who gave more of a damn over Alex Kidd, Streets of Rage and House of the Dead than Sega did would be let into Sega's family over it.

"Nothing Has Ever Surpassed The Street Fighter II Boom" Says Japanese Legend Daigo Umehara
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSVBENGXMAEG1kD?format=jpg&name=small)
"Here's how big of a boom it was. SF2 was so popular that people were quitting their day jobs to open arcades. All you had to do was have this game, and you'd make money... Supermarkets had it, bathhouses had it, bookstores, toy stores, video stores, laundromats and candy stores. Everyone had the game."
When asked when the next boom came, Umehara says that it didn't.
"I'm serious. There hasn't been one," he replies. He says that people who assume Street Fighter IV's success gave it parity with the second game perhaps weren't around to experience Street Fighter II's zenith. "I'm sure people unfamiliar with the SF2 craze thought SF4 seemed like a big moment for fighting games, but... It was a far cry from that first boom. There are reasons for that. More forms of entertainment, more types of games were available."
He also claims that while ...

The First Rule Of Street Fighter II's Moves? They Had To Make You Laugh!

According to illustrator and designer Akira “Akiman” Yasuda explains the process of coming up with new moves and specials. "We'd go through the moves one-by-one and approve them. There was this unspoken rule we operated by, where 'It wasn't good until it made us laugh.'," he says.
"Take Dhalsim's punch, for example. In the actual planning documents, we set a limit on punches, that they couldn't extend further than 128 pixels. But in that process of reviewing the characters, we decided to extend it a little further, then a little further, then a little further more… until one day we saw how long his arms came out and everyone cracked up. That was the moment we knew it was good."
This totally changed the way the team approached these iconic moves, ...

So Zeed won't be making a come back?
The enemy is different now but that doesn't mean they won't be in the game.
May be someone from Zeed would help Joe in the game.
Like old proverb said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Dubbed the RGC01 – short for Retro Gun Controller – this unit will plug into the Polymega via a USB connection and will enable you to play all of the light gun-based titles available for the NES, SNES, Mega Drive / Genesis, Mega CD, Saturn and PlayStation. House of the Dead, Time Crisis, Point Blank, Duck Hunt, Yoshi Safari, Leather Enforcers, Snatcher... you name it, you'll be able to play it.
It missed this release window, and in April, Playmaji released another update claiming that review samples were due to be sent out to the press. Given that samples haven't arrived yet, it's fair to say that ...

“We didn’t just want to go and make remasters or remakes of all the titles that are already around,” Shimomura says. “We want people to enjoy and be satisfied by what we put out there, and find ways to create new Sega fans.”
According to Shimomura-san, Shinobi felt like the perfect IP to start with as, in his eyes, the underlying DNA of all the greatest Sega action games began with the Shinobi arcade game. As luck would have it, a new Shinobi title was the first thing that developer Lizardcube pitched to Sega following the release of their previous two classic Sega revivals Streets of Rage 4 and Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, and like with those two games, Sega loved their pitch.
“Getting the tone right in terms of art, in terms of vibe, in terms of different setup, but the gameplay, sometimes people don’t remember the gameplay exactly; they just remember playing a ninja and being a fast action game for the time,” Fiquet says. “So, they want a fast action game, but it’s not the same thing as in the ‘90s on the Genesis. A fast action-platformer game has a lot of competition now. It needs to appeal to modern gamers, which, in my opinion, is ...”

Bare Knuckle III - "Zan Redux" Patch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iHlqUv56DQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iHlqUv56DQ)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GaI06WIXcAAa047?format=jpg&name=small)
This patch by BillyTime! Games is makes a few tweaks to Dr. Zan, a playable character in Bare Knuckle III.
Changes:
--------------------
*Zan has a passive Health regen (Works for both player 1 and 2)
*Energy ball attacks changed from 10 damage to 20 damage.
*Last from on forward jump attack changed from 4 to 10 damage.
*Last frame of forward offensive special changed from 6 to 15 damage.
*Star 2 Blitz changed from 8 to 12 damage.
*Star 3 Blitz changed from 2 and 8 to 16 damage.
NOTE:
--------------------
Compatible with Highscore SRAM.
Compatibility Patches for XP System and Difficulty Randomizer included.
Fix patch is also included for this release in all patches.
Fix Patch: (Credit to Gsaurus)
--------------------
This is a hack that fixes the most important bugs of the original game, and add a few other enhancements to improve the overall gameplay experience (BK3 and SOR3 version).
Bugs and problems from the original that were fixed:
1 - Combo not being reseted when performing special
2 - Combo not being reseted when being hit
3 - Combo not being reseted when grabbing
4 - Roll up/down too short
5 - Special with low power meter causing huge damage
6 - Unable to do offensive special when being grabbed (only defensive)
7 - Zan grab combo finalization was using a beta frame, instead of the final animation
8 - Blaze combo finalization had an invalid hit (so only the last hit was occurring)
9 - Blaze offensive special was not invincible, unlike all other characters
10 - Skate instantly release the first grab after using plank/pipe spin special
11 - Rocket punch had a wrong collision box
12 - Rocket kick had a wrong collision box
13 - When grab combo hits enemies around, sometimes it makes you loose the grab, others don’t.
14 - Pressing offensive special when zack is headbutting you does nothing.
15 - BK3 enemies cause very low damage
16 - BK3 was too easy
XP System:
--------------------
Players gain a level every 100,000 points.
With each level players deal one more point of damage and take one less point of damage.
Players each max level at 900,000 points.
Difficulty Randomizer:
--------------------
As you play, the internal difficulty counter is randomized and will introduce enemies from Very Easy all the way to Mania difficulties with various speeds, health bars and aggression. No playthrough will ever be identical!
Note:
End of round bonuses will be randomized

Yes. The game could use multiple protagonists.
Not just Joe Musashi alone all the time.
I wonder if elements from the 2002 Shinobi game will be incorporated. For example, Oboro Clan memebrs possessed and manipulated as boss fights show clan members who possess unique or themed skill sets.
Such as Homura (https://shinobi.fandom.com/wiki/Homura), the Shinobi of Fire. Or Hakuraku (https://shinobi.fandom.com/wiki/Hakuraku), a healer and alchemist.

I doubt it since if I watched from one of the trailers ... aren't all members of Oboro clan were destroyed (or turned into stones, I'm not sure)?
Leaving only Joe, his dog (Yamato), and his pupil (Tomoe)?
I could be wrong misinterpreting the trailer though.

Turned to stone ≠ dead. Maybe at the end of the game, the clan may magically returns to life.

Hotsuma and Ageha live far in the future long after Joe Musashi is dead.

New characters that will join the party in version 4.0, to be released in the future.
I know some people will say "oh but why don't you add common fighters, like Ken?"
the answer is because I find it boring.
I always value these "curve balls" more, giving forgotten characters a chance, than adding more characters that do the same thing that another character already does. I've always followed a rule throughout my decades as a game developer: Doing things differently. I've never been attracted to doing something exactly like the original game - I always thought it was a waste of time, and that it would be better to play the original game.
I respect those who like it, but originality counts a lot for me :)

While content editor Dan Amrich grew up playing the Genesis version of the game, he spoke with someone who gave a passionate defense of the Game Boy port, which they spent hours playing in the back of a car on family trips.
"It's not the best version of Mortal Kombat, but there are people out there that have very vivid and strong love and memories for specific versions," said Amrich.
People can still get upset about including handheld ports however, like the Game Boy version. "It's an affront to them for some reason. I'm like, just because ..."

Strike Series Designer Outlines Plans For A Spiritual Successor, But You'll Have A Long Wait Before You Can Play It

Barnes is an individual who will probably be best known to Strike players for lending his likeness to co-pilot Antonio Scott in the second game in the series, 1993's Jungle Strike — a role he would later reprise in the 1994 entry Urban Strike. However, his involvement with the series goes much deeper than that.
He has notably been involved with the series since the very start, working as a production assistant on the original Desert Strike for Sega Mega Drive (though poor crediting meant he was only ever acknowledged in the game's Japanese manual). From there, he was also the co-designer on both Jungle and Urban Strike, working with series co-creator John Manley, and went on to be the lead designer on the N64 version of Nuclear Strike, which released in ...

This translation was 7 years in the making, as the team of fans responsible, Nebulous Translations, had announced this translation back in 2018. Due to some difficulties with packing English text into the game’s visual interface, which was intrinsically designed for kanji-heavy Japanese to be written out vertically, the translation patch took a lot longer to put together in the team’s spare time. After much difficulty, a translation patch is now available for the public to download and try. The Hybrid Front and its surprisingly in depth story and dialogue for its time is now far more accessible to curious ...

Also, the manual sometimes mentions the LEDs as red and blue, but I've only seen them orange and green. Sometimes one light, sometimes two.
I just want to set SEGA Mega Drive Classics (https://store.steampowered.com/app/34270/) as well as my Sega Renaissance and future Power Surge games to the six-button layout expected of them.

The Brazillian company GamesCare have announced a December 2025 release window for their hotly anticipated Genesis/32X hybrid FPGA console: the GF-1 Neptune. At the moment, pre-orders are not yet available and no price has been announced, though they have stated it will be average for consoles of this nature. Given the usual cost of most FPGA consoles, I would estimate somewhere in the ballpark of $200-300 USD, but we’ll see soon. (Expect tariffs to be an issue as well) They have also promised that crowdfunding will not be part of ...

Speaking to The Game Business Mr. Utsumi said he wants SEGA to cover all bases going forward and have software for everyone, “I’d really like to revive that SEGA spirit. Sometime around 2000, even around the 1980s, we were regarded as a very cultural company. If you compare it to the music industry, I believe SEGA brings rock and roll. In the arcade business, we really had a rock and roll mindset and trying to provide new stuff. So nowadays, we want Sega to always be trying something different, while ..."

Hm... Like with the Blue Star II on CrossWorlds, I can see they're trying to be incitive to get us to sign up for accounts.
It's just, I believe they could've offered more. Not too much more, but still more.
"Sign up for our thing, and you'll get blue!"
(https://c.tenor.com/nHWUtoNBYMoAAAAC/tenor.gif)
I'm not saying Sega should spoiler those who sign up for Sega accounts, it's just what they're offering is mostly small cosmetic. Which, understandable, they don't want to break their games. But they could at least offer a reskin of Joe instead of a recolour.
What about Joe Mushasi wearing the grey ninja uniform he has in the 1987 arcade? Granted, he didn't have a mask, but could be replaced with a yellow headband.
Or why not have Yamato as an active companion, like he was in Shadow Dancer?
Or an exclusive ninja art scroll?

Actually I'd prefer they limit the SEGA account prize into cosmetic thing.
Having SEGA account should be optional, not mandatory.
Not all gamers who played SEGA games are SEGA fans.
I have a friend who love Yakuza games and has spent 300 hours in a year to play them who's not a SEGA fan.
Others are Football Manager fan who played only that game and Sonic fans who doesn't care about other SEGA games that's not Sonic.
They are not SEGA fans and don't want to have a SEGA account.
They're gonna pissed off if SEGA account gave others who have the account something that affect gameplay.

I guess so. But I imagine Sega would want to encourage your friends to change their mind and entice them.
Like your other Sonic fan friend. I'm not all that interested in getting a Sega Account, either. Which is why I think if Sega wants us to get Sega accounts, they'll need to put more to entice us.

OutRun Amiga Edition - A vastly superior fan version of a classic racer has arrived on the Amiga!

In 1986 Sega released one of the greatest racers of our time, it just had to be Out Run. An Arcade racer designed by Yu Suzuki, that was not only a commercial success, but became one of the best selling games of its time. A game that featured incredible graphics, fantastic music and fast paced track racing. Thankfully other people remember this Arcade classic, as we've recently found out, that reassembler has finally released his vastly superior version of Outrun for the Commodore Amiga. A version of the game which he hopes has put right "one of the nastiest Amiga arcade ports".
And here's the latest "An optimized port of SEGA's 1986 arcade game OutRun, utilizing the original 68000 assembly code, to mid-spec Commodore Amiga computers. Whilst small compromises have been made to accommodate differences between the arcade hardware and the Amiga - this looks and plays almost identical to the original. This is not an ...

The original Western version was censored and dumbed down, with story elements involving romance between characters and death sequences being cut from the North American release (it never got a European release).
This new patch – created by a team led by GoodLuckTrying – restores all the removed content as well as bringing "additional improvements" made possible by the fact that the ROM size has been boosted to 8Mb (1MB).
These enhancements include unique introduction screens for every mission and a Variable Width Font (VWF) "for ...

For Shinobi case, I think it's intentional that they are giving such a not-interesting reward for SEGA account.
They are also selling Digital Deluxe upgrade contents afterall.
All the good things (including the arcade original outfit) would be put into the Digital Deluxe upgrade + pre-order bonuses since it would make us throw more money to them.

The ghost outfit looks so much cooler than just blue. The ghost outfit is also blue.
But i still stand by what i said about how they should re-introduce/overhaul Avatars as a Sega Account+Official Sonic feature. Not just to allow us to play as our Sonic OCs in future Sonic games, but in the same way Mii's represent Nintendo accounts or XBox Live Avatars represent XBox accounts.

True. I want to get a Sega Account, but at the same time, I'm not all that enticed for one.

Until then, I'll wait it out until Sega Account services flesh itself out more.
I don't have a Nintendo account, but I assume you can do more with a Nintendo account than what Sega account currently offer.

This New MSX Demo Of Sega's 'After Burner' Looks Super Impressive
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gd_DBcbXIAA3Yxd?format=jpg&name=small)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZvHu3yYBL4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZvHu3yYBL4)
After Burner, in case you're unaware, was originally released in the arcades by Sega in 1987 and was later ported to a variety of machines, including the first wave of MSX computers.
This new version, however, has nothing to do with that official port (which was released by Activision in 1988) and is instead an unofficial reimagining of the game, targeting the more advanced MSXTurboR standard, which was introduced back in 1990.
According to B.P.S's video description, the new version was created using DM-System2 (a development kit for MSX 2/2+/turbo R machines) and takes advantage of an extended version of MSX BASIC. It seems to benefit from a much more colourful and detailed sprite for the ...

Lego Leak Reveals Upcoming Sega Genesis Controller Set That Money Can't Buy Directly
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GzEhbfyXsAA8alv?format=jpg&name=360x360)
The grainy image of the Lego Genesis controller has been doing the rounds on social media over the weekend, but Brick Built Blogs appears to have been one of the first to share it. The packaging for the controller set shows the faithful, albeit blocky controller sitting on a Lego plinth that it will presumably come with for display purposes.
It's a smaller set at 260 pieces, partly because it will be a gift with purchase. That means you will get the Lego controller for free should you meet certain requirements. That's the good news. The bad news is, according to the same leaks, the threshold is spending $130 in a single purchase on other Lego sets, and that the set can't be bought otherwise, no matter how much you ...

Rappy aside, these are rather deep cuts for SEGA. Again, these characters will return after the Global Launch. The Bonanza Brothers were ...

Running September 12–14, 2025, the campaign invites fans to download and "clip" a retro-inspired SEGA flyer — The SEGA Circular — and redeem it at participating retro game stores across the U.S. for one free Console Heroes collectible. These collectibles are miniature dioramas that are hidden inside replica Genesis game cartridges, each one opening up to reveal a 3D scene from legendary SEGA titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog™ 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Altered Beast™, and more. While supplies last, one per customer.
"It's more than a giveaway — it's a shared memory brought to life," said Andrew Yanofsky, co-founder of Console Heroes.
"We wanted to bring back that specific moment — when you saw a deal in a flyer, brought it to your parents, and made your case. Now, instead of 'maybe for Christmas,' fans actually get ..."

When it comes to Japanese video game magazines, Famitsu is the title that everyone knows. First launched in 1986 to cover the Nintendo Famicom, it’s the elder statesman of games journalism, and is still going strong to this day…
Which is great. Congratulations all round. But there’s not much I can add to that conversation.
Instead, we’re going to turn our attention to something a little more niche…
For a brief period in the early 90s, it was home to some of the best magazine cover art you’re likely to come across. A technicolour fever dream of jazz-era influences and abstraction.
The alternative is to commission a specific art piece for ...

The Legend of Steel Empire is a 1992 shoot ’em up for the SEGA Mega Drive and 2004 for Game Boy Advance developed by HOT-B, 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.
In this iconic original, mammoth battleships cruise the skies, and armored locomotives carry cannons the size of railway cars. With invincible fortresses floating in the air, the Motorhead Empire has conquered and enslaved virtually the entire planet… This is the story of Steel Empire, first launched in the golden age of shoot ’em ups in the early 90s for SEGA Mega Drive, it has since then been remade on a few portable consoles. The Legend of Steel Empire marks the latest entry in the ...

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance Update ver 1.10 Fixes Neo City Bug and Boosts Resolution on Switch

Patch Notes:
Switch
- Improved screen resolution.
- Fixed a progression-blocking bug in the “Neo City” stage where a location requiring the use of a Kusarifundo (Ninja Hook) could disappear. In addition, save data that had already become stuck due to this issue will now be automatically repaired upon loading.
- Fixed minor bugs.
PC
- Fixed a bug where scaffolding and grapple points would not appear correctly when returning to Neo City.
This patch fixes a soft-lock issue that could prevent players from completing the Neo City stage after obtaining the Ninja Hook. After obtaining that item, scaffolding with grapple points descends down and allows the player to use the Ninja Hook to progress upward to the next section of the stage. However, if players used Fast Travel or exited the stage right after obtaining the Ninja Hook, there was a chance that the scaffolding and grapple points would no longer be present when returning to Neo City, blocking players from continuing through the stage.
Any players that previously encountered this issue can now return to Neo City and should see the scaffolding and grapple points back in place, allowing you to ...

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance – SEGABits Review – A Ninja Legend Reforged

Gameplay in Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is surprisingly deep, striking a balance between honoring the series’ roots and introducing modern refinements. Earlier Shinobi games, especially those influenced by Rolling Thunder, thrived on the high-risk “one hit, one kill” mechanic. While that tension worked in its time, Lizardcube wisely expands on what made the series unique by layering in mechanics that feel better suited for today. Joe Musashi still showcases his iconic techniques like the dive kick, shuriken throws, and the devastating ninjutsu arts seen in Revenge of Shinobi. On top of this, players can unlock new abilities, outfits, and power-ups by collecting Oboro Coins, which can then be spent at the Yokai Shop. These upgrades not only add variety but also give players a sense of progression that keeps the combat fresh from stage to stage.
At the heart of the game, the combat feels razor-sharp, quick, and incredibly responsive. One of the best additions is the ...

The Guy Behind One Of Mortal Kombat's Most Iconic Easter Eggs Has Just Left NetherRealm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRFMgHBNA5Y
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2RAE_facAAfx1X?format=jpg&name=small)
Forden is a figure who will likely be familiar to Mortal Kombat fans, even if you don't necessarily know him by name. He has worked as a sound designer and composer on a number of Mortal Kombat titles dating back to the original Midway arcade game, and was notably responsible for one of the series's most iconic Easter Eggs, which debuted in Mortal Kombat II. This saw Forden appear in the bottom right of the screen and yell "Toasty" (Not "Whoopsie" as some mistakenly believe) in a high-pitched voice whenever players land a devastating uppercut on their opponent.
Initially put in the game as an inside joke between the developers, this random Easter Egg was ...

Earthion – SEGABits Review – Ancient Returns to the SEGA Genesis

Earthion is a Genesis game through-and-through, running in a software emulator on Steam and on other platforms. Upon booting up the game, you are taken to a main menu outside of the actual game, which starts you off by allowing you to select your language. The menu and game are both available either in English, Japanese, or Brazilian Portuguese. Make sure you don’t get this mixed up, because you’ll want to check out the multitude of settings to refine your experience. There are a ton of options for customizing the visual filters, sound reproduction, and controls here. If you’re as into customization as I am, you may end up having a ton of fun just with this before you even start playing.
The visual settings allow you to adjust the filter going over the game screen and the borders surrounding it. There are many borders to choose from, including wood and metal panels resembling an old CRT television, artwork from the game, the Ancient logo, or nothing but black if you prefer no borders at all. You can also select from sharp or smoothed pixels, adjust the size and shape of the game screen, or make a fully customizable CRT filter with scanlines, curved edges, a glowing effect and an extra TV panel border that can reflect the game’s graphics, giving the illusion of light coming off of a CRT display. You can save up to five different combinations of settings when ...

WWE Star Shows His Age, Admits He Doesn’t Know What Sega Genesis Is

The Sega Genesis console was released in the late nineties. It featured classic titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Altered Beast, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Streets of Rage 2, and Contra: Hard Corps, to name a few.
Elsewhere in the interview, Evans revealed he decided to become a pro wrestler the moment Triple H hit a Pedigree on Sheamus through the Spanish announce table.

Earlier this month series creator Greg Johnson engaged in a Reddit Ask Me Anything to celebrate the beginning of the Kickstarter campaign for his new game, Dancing With Ghosts. Inevitably, the conversation turned to ToeJam & Earl, with one participant asking for more details about a potential new game.
Subtle hints, of course, weren’t enough to sate the hunger of fans of this rapping, hotdog-eating, chain-wearing pair, but Johnson was happy to oblige (to a certain extent). He noted:
"I can say that the new game is in the planning stage. We intend to make it happen."
Of course, optimism can be difficult to come by in the gaming industry at times, but ...

🎶 “As he came into the window, it was the sound of a crescendo…” ⚡
37 years ago today, MTV debuted one of Michael Jackson’s most iconic videos, “Smooth Criminal.”
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FmljyZlX0AM5zoO?format=jpg&name=small)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CMNXrR2WUAAP5B_?format=jpg&name=small)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CMNXrGeWwAAd_Zt?format=jpg&name=small)
Recorded in 1987, the song was the seventh single from Jackson’s history-making album “BAD” and the centerpiece of his 1988 film “Moonwalker.”
Who can forget that gravity-defying lean he performed (and later patented for live shows using specially designed shoes that hooked into stage pegs)?
Decades later, both the song and video still hit as hard as ever!
🕹️ The success of “Moonwalker” inspired Jackson to team up with Sega to bring his magic to the gaming world.
The result was the 1990 arcade game “Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker” — an unforgettable beat ’em up that captured his style, swagger, and moves straight from the “Smooth Criminal” video.
The arcade version pulled in over $200 million in revenue before making its way to home consoles like the Sega Genesis and Sega Master System.
I’m not sure how many quarters I dropped into this bad boy back in the day, but it was money well spent! 🔥

In a Reddit AMA, ToeJam & Earl co-creator Greg Johnson shared a progress update on the movie adaptation that was announced a few years back.
It seems things have stalled a bit in terms of movement, but the good news is that the film isn’t dead.
“I’m not 100% sure [if it will be live action or animated] as it’s out of my control but I expect it will probably be animated. I’ve read the script and really it could be either all animated, or it could be a mix like Sonic, as it’s primarily on Earth. I’m as curious as you are as to what they will do. Right now they are still looking for a director so things are a bit stalled out. Hopefully that train will start moving again soon. The guys are Story Kitchen are great.”

The PC Engine Super CD-ROM² Version Of Popful Mail Is Getting An English Dub & Fan Translation

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GoCumuQWIAABrLp?format=jpg&name=small)
The new patch for the game appears to be the work of the video game researcher and essayist, Forrealsyall, who covered the series in a video earlier this year on his channel and previously posted several mock-ups of his translation online six months ago. He states this patch is being developed as a "more faithful adaptation [than the Working Designs' Sega CD title]", with the team ultimately choosing the PC Engine version as its base.
"I've spent months with a friend from Tokyo translating the game," wrote Forrealsyall on the website Castingcall.club. "And we know people with the ability to implement text into these old titles. So our next step is to dub all the audio. I've already gotten several people on board this project, but we are still looking for more people to join us!

New visual coding program for Genesis/Mega-Drive, MD Engine, coming soon
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G3gFUtXXcAAHE2o?format=jpg&name=small)
MD Engine is a new visual coding program made for easy development of games for Sega Genesis. A visual coding program, much like Game Maker or Clickteam Fusion, allows for the development of video games with an interface that allows for you to build a game with visual assets and menus without having to rely so much on writing code. With this, and a bit of patience and inspiration, you should be able to make your very own new Genesis games without having to write one line of code.
MD Engine was made as a fork of GB Studio, an open source visual coding program for making games for Nintendo’s Game Boy (Color) handheld. It uses much of the same interface and menus, so MD Engine should look familiar to anyone who has worked in GB Studio. However, MD Engine touts some extra special features that are not available even with GB Studio, such as ...

✨I swear me and a bunch of my cousins tried to sing and dance like Michael Jackson when we were kids in the 80s.
So many "hee hees" and "shamones" while moonwalking in socks.
Also played a lot of Moonwalker on Sega Genesis✨

I decided to email Retro-Bit after noticing a small something with the Saturn Pro Controller.
I started off with praise for the product and how I regard it special, but after trying to keybind it with Sega MD&Gen Classics (https://store.steampowered.com/app/34270/), I noticed a small thing about it.
C and L are "Button 6" and Z and R are "Button 7" while ZL and ZR are their own button-outputs.
I found this a bit odd (and for some reason, worth their attention) because the original Sega Saturn controller's shoulder buttons were their own button-outputs, not only that but the shoulder buttons are marked with ⏮️ and ⏭️ symbols. While the Mega Drive controller does not have shoulder buttons, Sega MD&Gen Classics does have a fast-forward and rewind feature, so it would make sense to assign the shoulder buttons to this feature. But as I tried that, the game told me I've already assigned those button-outputs to C and Z.
However, ZL and ZR (the secondary shoulder buttons) are the ones with their own button-outputs.
I said that perhaps if it was possible, to have a hardware update so that "Start+Up" would flip the shoulder buttons, just as Start+Down flips A/B and X/Y. I dunno if that's "how it works", but it was just a suggestion of a minor gripe.
And given I was writing an email to them over something so pointless, I decided to tell them my thoughts on the upcoming Dreamcast Pro Controller (https://x.com/RetroBitGaming/status/1248989231902531587). I didn't straight up tell them I didn't like it in the email, but truth be told, I don't like the idea of a Dreamcast Pro Controller that just had a different D-pad and C and Z buttons. I gave them some suggestions, all the while trying to be polite and respectful. It was pretty much asking for the Dreamcast Pro controller to just be the XBox One controller but styled after the Dreamcast controller. Pretty much take the L, R, right thumb-stick, Home and Select buttons from the Sega Saturn Pro Controller and put it on the Dreamcast Controller.
I just hope I didn't come off as a pompous ass over it.

I didn't know me and the Mega Drive shared a birth-year.
Which is strange because my childhood memories remember we had a Master System II as our first console followed by a Mega Drive, though different to the one pictured.

Wait really? That's cool.
This birth date refers to the first Mega Drive which was still Japanese version of course.
UK version was released two years later on September 14, 1990.
(one year after North American version - which renamed into SEGA Genesis - on August 14, 1989)

I would've been two years old.
Maybe Mum simply brought the Master System II at the time despite Mega Drive being new, because it was a cheaper alternative.
We were not poor, but not strapped for cash neither.

Back then no stores sold Master System here.
The ones who had it definitely some rich kids who bought it overseas.
Usually from Australia.

SEGA Mega Drive is the first SEGA's console to ever hit Indonesia's stores and everybody mentioned the console as "SEGA".
So back then whenever someone said SEGA usually they refered to the Mega Drive, not the company itself.
SEGA was synanomious with Mega Drive, just like Nintendo with NES here.
Of course that was three decades ago, things have been changed now.

At least they read it. Sometimes an email could be ignored entirely.

The first Master System was released in 1987 for UK but Master System II was released in the same year (1990) as Mega Drive.

It's either that or they already knew the external links were the wrong way round and fixed them as they updated their Sega Collaboration page (https://retro-bit.com/controllers/sega-collaboration/) with a "Coming Soon" space.
My guess that will be where the Dreamcast controllers will be sold. If that's the case then it may as well be too late for public feedback if they already have Dreamcast Pro Controllers being produced and stocked.

That would make sense. I remember we had both a Master System II and later on a Mega Drive in our household.

Jumping from 8-Bit to 16-Bit right away. :-D
For me jumping from PC (with CGA graphic) like this ...

to 16-Bit graphic was taking about 5 years.
We didn't have a PC back then. I mean, Britain had computers, we just couldn't afford one.

Every input is valuable so who knows how it will go. Let me know when they had answered your email.
Ooh" They responded!
Hi there,
Thanks for being a fan, for the Saturn Pro controller, we are trying to
work with some programmers and seeing what might be possible but right
now its not possible to change the button configuration since the
controller was designed to work with both retro and current gen
products, so our devs had to work around some issues.
As for the Dreamcast controller, as this is officially licensed by Sega,
we have to keep it closer to the original design and specs, so we aren't
able to make certain changes.Sega Saturn Pro Controller
Firstly, I really like this product. As a Sega fan, it's awesome to both own an officially licensed Sega controller for PC gaming and designed for modern gaming in mind. I think the product is brilliant as it is. So no overall complaints here. Despite being designed for modern gaming, I regard it "special" for a few games I use it on, such as Alex Kidd DX or Shinobi: Art of Vengeance.
It's just I noticed a... well, I wouldn't say "flaw", given it was likely the intention as it clearly states it in the manual, it's just I noticed the following when the controller is used for PC gaming:
C and L are both "Button 6" and Z and R are both "Button 7" while ZL and ZR have their own button assignments.
I find this a bit odd because in a standard Sega Saturn controller, L and R both have their own independent button outputs.
Granted, I know that the Pro Controller was made for modern gaming in mind and that modern controllers have four action buttons and two sets of shoulder buttons these days, while the Saturn Pro Controller compensates with six action buttons.
But, it can be a problem for Mega Drive or Sega Saturn emulators (or in my case, SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics where I noticed the problem, trying to assign Forward and Rewind functions to the shoulder buttons) when it comes to mapping button functions. (I also couldn't have both right thumb-stick and D-pad for movement, but I regard that more of the games' problem.)
I mean, sure, I can use the secondary shoulder buttons just fine for the function, just for sake of authenticity, find it a bit off.
I don't know if Pro Controllers can have hardware updates, but I believe the issue could be resolved if macro input "Starrt + Up" could flip shoulder functions back or forth.
Again, this isn't a complaint or major issue, just a small inconvenience that I noticed. I still love the Saturn Pro Controller.
Dreamcast Pro Controller
I know it is still in the works, but I am still looking forward to it. I've seen the blueprints on 𝕏 and was wondering if I may weigh in my thoughts?
I'm hoping the Dreamcast Pro Controller would simply have the same layout as a standard XBox 360 controller. Instead of 6 action buttons like the Saturn has, just the four with Button 6 and Button 7 as new shoulder buttons above the original Dreamcast shoulder buttons which were like trigger buttons anyway.
The "Primary analogue stick" can be just like the original Dreamcast analogue stick, while the Secondary analogue stick could be located between the Start and action buttons, perhaps just one of the Saturns thumb-sticks to conserve space.
And of course, Select and Home button, as the Saturn Pro Controller has.
As for the VMU socket, entirely up to you. Perhaps can be where the controllers' receiver or battery pack can be located for more easier means of charging?
I know what I'm describing is a Dreamcast-shaped XBox controller, but right now, the XBox 360 controller I used for PC gaming is on its last legs and I need a new controller, My Saturn Pro Controller is special to me, though I do use it for some modern games, but having a Dreamcast controller for general gaming would be awesome for a Sega fan like me.
But if it's too late in development for my suggestions, or if you can't accept suggestions from customers, then I understand. I would still be looking forward to the finished product.
Sincerely, █████.
P.S. I noticed at the bottom of the new Retro-Bit website, you got the links to Twicth.TV and 𝕏 the wrong way round.
That's kinda interesting. I mean, the Saturn Pro Controller clearly took some liberties in order to be a Pro Controller, but they can't do the same for the Dreamcast?
-
Ooh" They responded!That's kinda interesting. I mean, the Saturn Pro Controller clearly took some liberties in order to be a Pro Controller, but they can't do the same for the Dreamcast?
First, that's very nice of them to answer of your email.
Second, judging from their email I guess everything from them has to be approved from SEGA since they are officially licensed.
So there are certain things that got approval from SEGA and thing that rejected.
Unfortunately we'll never know the later ones.
Third, since it got to be approved by SEGA, even making a small change could make it time-consuming that affect everything which could cause more delays.
Too many delays are bad for their busineess partners' trust so I kinda understand if they choose to skip some changes.

Yeah, but I found what they said about the Dreamcast controller somewhat confusing.
As for the Dreamcast controller, as this is officially licensed by Sega,
we have to keep it closer to the original design and specs, so we aren't
able to make certain changes.
Wasn't the Sega Saturn controller officially licensed by Sega, yet they were allowed to release a Pro Controller of it? The Sega Saturn Pro Controller clearly deviates from the original Sega Saturn controller designs and specs.
Other than that, if they did plan a Dreamcast Pro Controller, I can imagine it re-using stock-parts from the Sega Saturn Pro Controller than the need for new custom parts for it. (I tried posting an attachment, a picture made on MSPaint to show my point., but it wouldn't post.)

I'm not sure how Retro-Bit's uh "factories" or "assembly lines" work, but if they have specific parts used for various controllers, such as "stock parts" for the Sega Saturn Pro Controller, I don't see why they can't use the same stock parts over making brand-new parts they'll need to order en masse for new controllers.
For example, if they made a Dreamcast Pro Controller, they could make brand-new shoulder buttons exclusively designed for the dreamcast Pro Controller... or, given all the Sega Saturn controllers they make, why not just use shoulder buttons from them?
Granted, I think the shoulder buttons should be marked C and Z instead of L and R but, does it matter?

As a company, Retro-Bit might be big, but it isn't as big as you think, their revenue was <$5M (https://www.zoominfo.com/c/retro---bit/382470352).
That's why most likely they only ordered necessary sum of stock parts, leaving no unused ones.

It seems like Gameware Europe, the current rights holders of the James Pond series, is once again trying to reboot the 1990s platforming series, but there are some who believe its use of AI to market the game will potentially "alienate" old fans of the series.
The new game, which is ironically titled James Pond: Rogue AI is scheduled to release in Q4 2025 across PC, iOS, and Android, and reportedly won't feature the involvement of Chris Sorrell, the lead designer on the original three James Pond games.

yeah, that's what I mean.
So, if they did make a "Dreamcast Pro Controller", no point in spending money on brand-new custom parts if they already have boxes full of buttons for previous controllers, so why not use them?
The shoulder buttons of a Sega Saturn controller, the Home and Select of the Saturn Pro Controller and one of it's thumb-sticks to be placed between the ABXY buttons and Start Button and voila! A Dreamcast controller that meets standard modern controllers.
The only parts that will need to be customized would be the shell of the Dreamcast controller and the inner circuitboard to account for the additional buttons.(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gv7jRFuW8AAq4bQ?format=jpg&name=small)

There's a chance it was different team that handles each controller project.

I see. I dunno how Retro-Bit "makes" their controllers. I assume a conveyor belt and box of parts etc.

Perhaps. I'm not sure how "big" Retro-Bit are, or how they manage their products.
Most of us do hate it but it's a cheaper unavoidable trend.
I'm not against AI generative art being used for small or quick things. Such as a quick profile picture or some scenery, for things where the effort seems more than what it's for, etc. But using AI generative content for marketing and profiting, that's low!

Low indeed. We already know how dissapoint the original creator of James Pond was when his creation treated this way.
He explained that he hates "almost everything they [Gameware Europe] do with a passion" (https://gamerant.com/james-pond-rogue-ai-criticism-creator-gameware/).
Unfortunately, Sorrell has been left in a position where he has no control over the direction of the franchise anymore, due to it being sold off.

Yeah, it's owned and published by Sony so it would take time to be released on PC.

"He Seems To Have Turned Blue" - Gameware Can't Even Get James Pond's Colour Right

While Gameware has gone on record stating that no AI will be used in the actual games, it has continued to roll out some highly questionable material on social media, with Sorrell himself personally highlighting the latest worrying example to Time Extension (Sorrell has previously stated that he "hates" everything Gameware does "with a passion").
In a post which went live on Facebook on August 4th, Pond is displayed as a seemingly different character entirely, complete with blue skin. "Word at the bottom of the ocean is... James Pond is resurfacing later this month," says the message attached to the image.
When Pond's odd colouring (presumably the result of the image being generated by AI) is pointed out by a fan, Gameware attempts to laugh it off by saying ...

Beck (Mighty No. 9) was the successor to Mega Man which Keiji Inafune may have full control over.

Originally developed in the 90s by the legendary game studio Digital Illusions, it was sadly cancelled last minute under the working title Hardcore.
