Carl Williams writes, "The Genesis gets a raw deal when it comes to colors available and the use of those colors when you compare a cross platform game (see issue #1 of RGM for 15+ pages of such a comparison). Sega could have used better colors for their games, the Genesis has them available, but for some reason they did not. Fans have taken it upon themselves to improve one such seminal Genesis game, Streets of Rage 2, with improved colors."
“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.
ENHANCEMENT MY ASS!!! They made the skin too pinkish and everything else to '80's neon for a '90's game. It's gaudy as hell.
the original still looks better lel
More doesn't always mean better. The "improved" sprite looks far too colorful and not as natural as the original. Maybe Sega limiting the color palette of the Genesis was intentional to avoid this color saturation. I mean I've never seen jeans that blue in my life.
I love that game, that was one of my first games on SEGA genesis..
I still play this online co op sometimes on ps3 lol.
