Genesis / Mega Drive Mech Classic 'Assault Suit Leynos' (a.k.a.'Target Earth') Gets Retranslation Patch Which Also Removes Censorship







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

Quote
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 ...

Not forcing them.

Forcing them would be like how Ubisoft makes you require an account, just to play games you legally purchased.

I'm simply suggesting content that's more worthwhile to offer for those who choose to get a Sega Account than just blue.

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.

May be sometimes far in the future. For now, I don't hear or read any big change planned for SEGA account.

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

At least it's a start, so when they're ready to make use of its advantage we'll also be ready.
