I would buy any console, three times to finish, Shining Force III in English!

I didn't know it was meant to be a trilogy when I first completed it, just thought it was a rubbish ending. When I found out, well I'm still annoyed I never got to see the end to the story.

Reading translated scripts about where all the forces join together to fight off the vandals just isn't the same as playing through it.

even further into the Sega archives. why there isnt a new version of Hang on is really strange. I also like some of their other arcade titles like thunder blade, galaxy force and space harrier.

there has been an update to space harrier called planet harriers and was rumored to have been in development for the DC before that plug was pulled.

Odd that sega hasnt even done a simple port of the virtua cop series for the wii. That seems like a perfect fit. they did put la machine guns and gunblade ny on wii as a double pack. yeah the games were cheesy but still, it was good to have them.

@jallen, yeah it is such a shame the shining series didnt continue on in the US after III. The others were even more intricate in the story (if you could follow in JP).

Oh well, at least they did bring out afterburner climax which is a nice upgrade to the original. sad they lost their license to Ferrari otherwise we would have a newer outrun game by now. At least...i think that is what happened.

The complete trilogy of Shining Force III would be brilliant. I knew that it wasn't complete when it came over, but I still got it anyways. Fantastic way to spend 40 hours of one's life, it's a great game.

Powerstone 1 & 2, with added online multiplayer and Shenmue 2!...although Powerstone 3 and Shenmue 3 would be much more epic -_-

Sega sells Relic and will cut 240 jobs across UK studios

GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.

The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."

Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.

It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.

I hope they find new jobs in the industry soon.

Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol

SEGA’s Switch Predecessor: What Happened to the Nomad?

Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
