Random Thoughts Thread - Sega Edition!

Huh. I guess we may be seeing more characters in the next ASR. I may have been one of the few people happy with who got in, but I hope SUMO doesn't stay with Europe for roster picks. =P

SOE...... y u not no dat sakera warz ewisted? Anyway hopefully they'll do a focus test in US and hopefully Japan. It'll be cool if they did one during New York Comic Con.

On other news, been ebaying for some Virtua Cop 2 for a cheap price with no luck. Trying to buy a copy under 10 bucks. I may end up buying the Sega Value Pack version again.

Leave it to Kotaku's LUKE PLUNKETT to be such a fuckin' hater:

Great art, but what the hell is up with the dig at SEGA?

"Amidst all the rubbish Sonic games and Hatsune Miku, it's easy to forget that Sega was, once, cool. Very cool.

It's something artist Oggy hasn't forgotten, with this tribute to the company's vehicular heyday that I wish my wife would let me paint all over our living room wall."

Over the years I've kinda begun to suspect that Kotaku's writers are paid some fraction of a cent for each pageview and comment they get, so they adopt a rather shocking and insulting tone to provoke a response.  Plunkett is one of the worst, because he focuses on nostalgic topics and then craps all over them.  That's why I was glad when Kamiya tweeted to him, "Do you eat shit?"

Shitaku is still relevant? Had no idea.. Ever since that Patricia Hernandez bitch joined in the place turned to (even worse kind of) shit.

I want another western VC release from SEGA.

If Nintendo, with their Fire Emblem franchise (good series, but I still think VC is better) can release the games in NA and EU (despite a lower shopment quantity), surely SEGA can release VC games in the same manner?

Plus they have a potential half a million fans worldwide who will buy their game.

As for the Kotaku Article, it reminded me of them shitting on Dragon Crown's Artwork....which annoys me as I like Vanillaware's games from what I've played of Muramasa: The Demon Blade. So fuck them anyway!

Sonic is Goku
Tails is Gohan
Knuckles is Piccolo
Shadow is Vegeta
Dr. Robotnik is Dr. Gero

Why isn't there a Sonic x DBZ game yet?

[Barry the Nomad]

Yup.

Not quite Sega, but it is a thought. I've now known some of you for over almost a decade because of Sega forums. Mind blowing, to me.

[crackdude]

Sega should buy Atlus

NSFW: google search "cosplay international Ulala" for awful space channel 5 porn. It's blurred like crazy, so you don't have to see creepy Japanese man pingus. Not that all Japanese men are creepy. But the guy who - a-hem - Ulala "interviews" has the weirdest alien costume ever.

It's interresting to know what Sega of Japan considers milestones of their company:

1985 - Hang-On
1990 - R360
1991 - Sonic the Hedgehog
1992 - Virtua Racing
1993 - Virtua Fighter
1996 - Sakura Wars
2000 - Phantasy Star Online
2005 - Yakuza
2005 - Trading Card Arcade game, Quest of the 3 kingdoms
2007 - Mario & Sonic
2009 - Border Break
2010 - Kingdom Quest

Overall listing PSO and Yakuza guess means that we will we getting these games forever Before any Shenmue or classic Phantasy Star.

And I guess Border Break will be a mainstay in Arcades for a long time too

Huh, found my Genesis AC adapter among the stuff in the basement. I wonder if it's still worth selling since I don't have the console.

Thinking of picking up an original Xbox so I can review Panzer Dragoon Orta and Shenmue II. Is there anything I need to know about the hardware?

[George]

Probably not, its pretty much the same thing across. Just get the S controller and not the fat one.
