“There are many iconic platformers yet Kid Chameleon is rarely discussed so allow me to shine the spotlight on this retro treasure.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
"The company was unable to focus enough on its main hope"
Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.
Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.
Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.
I am pretty sure there are documentaries (Youtube) around it which highlights these points. I had Sega Mega drive and NES growing up but that's about it. I didn't even know there was a war going on between these companies but I do remember thinking why I can't play Sonic cartridge on Nintendo or Mario on Sega :D
I had the Genesis and the Saturn, also had the SNES and 64, I never got a Dreamcast for some reason, but I never saw one in the stores either.
Been playing games for decades-- this is a good article-- I liked it!
Ahhh the days where Call of Duty and Pokemon never existed.
Wow, this brought back memories.
These are the platforms I've played on (that I can remember) Vic 20 then Commodore 64/128, Amiga, Mac, Atari 2600 (and the Sears knock-off), Jaguar, Neo Geo, Dreamcast, Sega Master System, Pentium 286/386/486, NES, SNES, N64, Game Cube, Wii, WiiU, PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox and Xbox 360, Colleco Vision and Adam computer.
I remember those huge books that use to come with my RPG's. I just knew I was in school when I saw that damn thing, they would also have (more often than not) lots of swag. Like maps, figurines, coins, dice, little plether bags. I loved these games, lots of entertainment.
I guess thats why I love gog.com so much.
Think I've been playing to long.
Cassettes.. arg!! Had an Atari 800 and didn't take me long to switch to a floppy drive as besides fast loading there was access to fantastic amounts of big disk based games.
Developed my 1st hardware mod for the Atari 8bits to allow an unlimited save game feature for any game - fun days :)
... You Go Right.
