I've watched it but things have changed since then.
Of course Sammy and SEGA's relationship weren't all sunshine and rainbow, but in the end SEGA could do most of anything they want in creative term and that's a win in my eyes.
I guess so, but not everything.
The people who worked with Sega during the '90s are no longer there. Whenever current Sega still has the "spirit" it claims to always had is somewhat debatable.
Meanwhile, Nintendo acknowledge that they have other popular classic IPs other than Super Mario and, while not often, still keeps them afloat with fresh content every now and again.
StarFox may not have new games often, but it leaves the Panzer Dragoon series in the dust.
Kirby has had many games and is a thriving franchise, while Ristar was a one-hit-wonder.
The Sega Renaissance, for example, where Sega are both aware of the popularity of their classic IPs but so insecure over them that they leave it to third-party developers and producers to make their games at pole-length. I dunno if Sega got a cut of royalties, but I don't recall their blue SEGA logo on these games.
But still, it's still the first time in ages where Sega's older IPs finally get some fresh blood.
Then there is the "
Power Surge" which was announced, a big comeback for Sega's IPs having brand-new games for fans to look forward to. The video was released in 2023 and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance was the only came that we have so far. It's less of a Power Surge and more of a mild buzz really. We've yet to get fresh news on Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage or Golden Axe.
