I added some details to the description. 1. Bloodlines was not on the Virtual Console. Seems I have seen too many modded Wii's in recent years that it was burned in my head that it was. My mistake. 2. The Tetris that is coming is not the super rare Japanese version you have heard of, but a new port based on Sega's arcade edition. 3. Some believed that the new Darius port was based on a fan created game, but it does appear to be a new project done by M2 themselves.
@TheKiman25 жыл бұрын
So I saw the Japan announcement of the final batch of the games and it was a big production, a two hour show with the producers of MD Mini, Sega corporate guys in the audience, and even Yuzo Koshiro as a guest for the whole 2 hours. You're right, Tetris is a new port based on the arcade version. What's notable is that this version is 4mb while most puzzle games in the day was 1 or 2mb max. Darius (pronounced Dah-rai-ah-su) is a new port that involved Taito who was a producer and they reached out to M2 to do the port b/c M2 had previously already done the Darius Cosmic Collection. The game is 32mb which is humongous for a MD game. In terms of Darius, it was released back in the days or PC Engine (Darius Plus) and PCE-CD (Super Darius) but this one is a new port nonetheless.

Sega Lord X Hello, i love this channel and your dedication towards retro gaming. Just wanted to ask you or anyone who is looking at this post; that since past couple of months i am trying to find out one old NES/SEGA type soccer game which is more like anime style gaming where we play as a protagonist and regarding the gameplay there is only one player displayed on screen while dribbling the ball and the players can shoot the ball with super powers like in Shaolin Soccer.... If the power is op then the keeper fly away like an airplane and the goalpost net is destroyed and so on..... I used to play this game when i was a kid and now i am 33. I am quite sure that lot of other players played this game as well and it would be a great appreciation if anyone tells me the name of this game. I am really desperate right now..😫😫😔😔.. ( Note::: It is not GOAL franchise, which has also super power shootings like in cartoons..) Thank you in advance.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

You gotta be kidding! -Ristar / Sonic Team’s final original platformer on MD, really? -Sonic 3 & Knuckles / SEGA, you’ve still not sorted the rights to the MD’s greatest game?!!! WTF.....

Honestly I could have done without Super Monaco, the Mega Drive was not upto the task and it was a meh conversion. Outrun and VR would have been the way to go. Micro Machines too... I’m wondering if VR’s omission is due to this system not having a 3D chip, and that including one would have increased costs? And where’s Moonwalker? A key early MD game. I guess we can assume with it and S3&K’s absence SEGA did not want the extra hassle of dealing with the Michael Jackson estate...?

@arbereshe That was an issue I had with some japanese IP back then. Treasure was very averse to making sequels to their games. On the flip side, they had a stellar library of original titles and you could buy their games on brand alone knowing you were in for a unique, challenging, satisfying experience. I remember Yuji Naka refusing to do a sequel to Nights into Dreams despite its popularity, going as far as to pointing players to games where Nights makes a cameo to get their 'fix'. It was 11 years before the sequel Nights Journey of Dreams showed up on the Wii and it was headed up by one of the designers on the original Takashi Iizuka. Looking back/giving the benefit of doubt, it was likely something out of Naka's control...90's me didn't like it though.

I understand the problem with bringing in all those unlicensed characters, but they should have done revision 1.04 where Spider-Man was pink and Godzilla had no skin.

@lucariosimon90585 жыл бұрын
I know right? I’d trade Wily Wars or Virtua Fighter 2 for it tbh. They’re both fine but they’re just ports of games I can find elsewhere or NES or Sega Saturn. They didn’t make the Genesis special, they didn’t add to the narrative history of the console. All the others and Rocket Knight are historically signifigant. After all Rocket Knight was a big moment in Konami’s development on the Genesis and led to the development of other great games by them like Contra Hard Corps and Animaniacs

Another great video mate. Maybe it's because I had such low expectations, but I'm really impressed with the list overall - they're not all amazing games, but as an overall snapshot of the console I think it threads a pretty good line between all time classics, a few hidden gems, a few games people won't have had a chance to play, solid 3rd party gets, and the odd expensive collectors showpiece. It's not flawless, but it's very good I think. Question now is whether the emulation is actually any good, but with ATGames apparently kicked to the curb, I have higher hopes - it seems like they're genuinely trying to do right by it. Kinda annoying UK only gets the 3 Button pads though, not sure about US

I agree with you that it’s a damn solid lineup. Personally I’d swap out Space Harrier, Alex Kidd and Virtual Fighter for Golden Axe 2, Quackshot and Ristar, but like you said there’s a lot to love there. Besides, I’m sure that within a few hours of the thing going on sale some clever sod will have worked out how to add your own ROM files to it, so no biggie!

Will the Mini have the good sound card? I got one of those pre-loaded 3rd party Genesis consoles a couple years ago but the sound card on it is different and it noticeably messes with the sound making it sound different compared to the old consoles or emulators. Would totally get this if the sound translation is authentic as those old Genesis tunes were classic. Also, games I would have loved to see on this: 1) Ristar 2) Sunset Riders 3) Jurassic Park 4) Chakan: The Forever Man But overall, generally great roster that hits lots of the highlights.
