Back in 1989 it was fine to have a game that utilized only three buttons on a controller. Heck, on some systems that's all the real estate that was available. The original Golden Axe is the perfect example of hack-and-slash simplicity at its finest. You and a friend could hop onto an arcade cabinet (or Master System, Genesis, and several other platforms) and cooperatively play through the adventure of Ax Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead in an effort to bring down Death Adder.
SEGA chose Tyris Flare from the trio as the sexy starlet for Beast Rider, a game that totally departs from the co-op nature of Golden Axe and instead offers a solo experience that struck IGN at first as a spiritual successor to Viking: Battle for Asgard. At least when talking about the look of the action. Thankfully after sitting through a fairly lengthy gameplay demo they can say with confidence that Beast Rider expands quite a bit on the stale melee-driven combat of Viking.
Okay, Sega. the devs of Streets of Rage 4 together and let's make a new Golden Axe happen.
Not every game made the transition to 3D as smoothly as Mario or Zelda. Here are 15 games that made the worst transition from 2D to 3D.
Why do you have a screen from Street Fighter X Tekken for Street Fighter EX?
Lmao also, worms 3d wasn't even a first person shooter at all either... It was turned based like the original games... Someone didn't research
@KwietStorm Don't you know this is not "News 4 Gamers" anymore, it's "Negativity 4 Gamers." A Place where if you say something complementary or ask for some helpful advice, no one gives 2 shits. But AS SOON AS you say something opinionated or controversial, get ready for a riot, mass homocide, and a lynchin' bro.

I enjoyed it and as far as I remember, I was the only one defending it, lol. I was actually giving it a 10/10 on sites to counter balance all the idiotic troll reviews.
Can someone put a pillow over Sonic's face and hold it down until he stops struggling? It'll be an act of kindness.
So many disappointments. It's so sad when a well loved franchise looks like it's dying in front of your eyes. (I miss you Sonic, I hope you come back some day)
I dunno, I think these games are great in a certain way. They're a fantastic counter argument against reboots in general and that at least is something
I haope it moved as smooth as it looks. I also want it to feel like the old golden ax games
Golden Axe Rules the world!
