Not only that, it succeeded: whereas the “technically brilliant” titles of yesteryear now wallow in their “good for their time” dubiety, Altered Beast remains the same guilty pleasure it always has. Undoubtedly, I think it was its vision all along to become the cheesy cult-classic of the video game world, to be so exuberantly, intriguingly ridiculous it would never be forgotten. Keep laughing at the thought, the absurd notion its lambasted legacy has only helped it become what it is. It’s Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. It won.
GameCrate: "The Sega Genesis catalogue features a long list of classics that would be great to see revived on modern platforms. Here are five Sega Genesis games that deserve the Streets of Rage 4 treatment."
Throw in Guardian Heroes. The magic and mayhem would be crazy. With Undead Hero leading the charge.

YES!
Altered Beast with cel-shaded graphics is going to be lit!
Although I think the blood would look like tomato?
This Altered Beast fan game adds a bunch of fresh and remixed ideas to an old classic and is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
You and me both. Same goes with a proper Shinobi, Shining Force, or Golden Axe release (sorry, Beast Rider). So many amazing Sega IP to choose from.
Hardcore Gamer: Fans of side-scrolling beat’em ups certainly remember Altered Beast. The 1988 Sega title was released in arcades before making its way to home consoles a short time after. It was quite popular at the time and remains a classic title. Now, Funko has announced an Altered Beast Pop! figure for dedicated collectors to obtain.
I remember Altered Beasts so fondly. It was badass changing into the werewolves, dragons, etc...
Rise from your graves, man I sunk all kinds of quarters into this game back in the day.......at the skating rink......fuck.......I'm old. This is also one of the few genesis games that I still own. Classic
