"I'm very happy that a game as cool as Ultracore didn't suffer the fate of being cancelled forever as playing it is a fantastic treat." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Review - ‘Ultra’ is probably overstating it, but any lover of Contra, Mega-Man and Metal Slug will find plenty of value from Ultracore.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "SLG, together with its sister company ININ Games, is also interested in unearthing and resurrecting games previously thought lost, like Ultracore and the upcoming Clockwork Aquario.
Dennis Mendel, Co-Founder of Strictly Limited Games, was kind enough to share with us his thoughts on video game preservation, SLG's business partnership with Japanese arcade legend TAITO, and future releases."
Ultracore is a game that should have released in the 1990s on the waning Sega Genesis. Literally slated for release back then , it has been resurrected and finally released nearly 30 years later. Had it released originally, it would have been an amazing swan song for the Genesis, but being released now it gets lost in the myriad of indie action games on the Switch.
