Tom Kalinske was right, the Genesis still had a lot of life left.

You are wrong, walle story is similar to vectorman story

Actually no. Wall-e is a story of robot love and Vectorman is a story of the badass robot who shoots other robots.

@@camulodunon But both franchises do take place in a future where the earth becomes so polluted that the humans end up having to leave it behind and let robots clean it up for them.

Maybe vectorman is the son of walle and eve

+Casey Decker IMO, Vectorman did the concept better than Wall-E for several reasons; prior to them turning against him, Vectorman had some assistance from other Orbots in cleaning the Earth (hence why Earth looks half-decent in this game). Vectorman's also a fighter, not a lover, so he single-handedly takes on every enemy he comes across, whereas Wall-E's girlfriend did most of the fighting for him. Vectorman's villain is also a master Orbot-turned-evil dictator when a working nuclear missile gets attached to his body, whereas Wall-E's villain was a sentient steering wheel.

Holy hell, i would play that!

Vectroidvania ... um, yes

IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

How about one where it's the origin of Vector and he goes from scrawny ball bot to omega orb man.

PS2 game was cancelled too. Vectorman deserves another shot.

The only reason I got an OG Xbox was becasue it was susposed to be finished and ported to it :( Maybe I can secure the rights....

I was a designer on both the original games and also did a document for the Saturn version. in 2000, we made a cool demo for a PS2 version that would have been full 3D and a Metroidvania type game. Sega said they weren't interested.

Release the hounds, er, the demo! If there’s any way, people would love to see it.

Yeah, I was always on my last life.

There were some harsh critics of it back in the day.

The Game Grinder I was a Genesis guy, and I completely missed the Vectorman train until recently. I think there was just a lot happening in gaming that year, and maybe Genesis gamers were aging out of their console.

Oh yeah totally! The lack of easy access to information was a huge detriment to gaming back then too.

+Robin Hunt Thanks for watching, Robin. Lots more to come

Similar to the contest in Seinfeld if I remember

nah more like 32X

GameBoy Punk I can see that, especially with the game Kolibri.

Vectorman 3 was actually going to be on the Sega Saturn, but it was cancelled. They tried to bring it back for the PS2, but it was also cancelled.

Saw one for 8 bucks at an Exchange.

most geney games had this problem no idea why though

+Jobim gilbert sega loved to make their platformers with a shitty always-centered-around-character camera and no save feature x_x those were two things that kept sonic from ever being quite on par with nintendo's offerings as well if you ask me. oh well, the genesis was still fun for what it had.

+Lars “B” Amble It was a problem specific to this game, Sonic has a better camera and saving as well from S3 onwards.

Jobim gilbert in a lot of multiplatform games the genesis tends to have a better resolution and frame rate than the SNES version if the genesis port isn't butchered.

Genesis Aladdin and Earthworm Jim were also developed in America

Dyllyo Maybe it has to do with the "only japanese games are good hurr durr". Besides whats wrong with being proud of games your country made?

DKC and Battletoads was UK.

Dyllyo donkey Jong country and battle roads were made in europe

Roudansk Alamir dude... Sega is an American company. Your blind patriotism is pathetic. Do you not realize video games are an American creation? Do you not realize how shitty Japan and America have and can be? How both corporate structures are seemingly different but both work effectively to fuck people over especiaally the middle and lower class?

My first time experiencing Vectorman 1 and 2 were the Smash Packs 1 and 2 for PC.

Sparkster was on SNES.

It was more a whole different game than a port of the Genesis game

+Jason Egerbrecht I make these videos way, way in advance. I think this one was finished before Christmas. I've got just about every video ready to go on schedule up through March. So yeah, no Shaq Fu for a while, sorry

+SNES drunk I was just being sarcastic and giving you a hard time after Pit Fighter! Seriously, I appreciate all of your hard work with your videos. The "short but sweet" format is great! Thanks again for your contribution to our retro hobby!

+Jason Egerbrecht Thanks for watching Jason

Nows your chance with the genesis collection on switch.

There was a contest too for the sequel, someone won by submitting a design for Vectorman to transform into. I think you can access it via the menu, right?

Comix Zone was the same way, but you play them over and over again until you get better at it. That's something Sega players had to deal with compared to Nintendo players.

​@@rainehappy7097 I understand that but with Vectorman I feel is kind of poorly designed since you begin with too few lives, so you probably will not be able to advance much the first few times, especially since the game is not very difficult but has some memorization going on that can be annoying, Comix Zone at least is short and doesn't get too difficult until the third stage or so.

SNES won genesis lost ..sega lost every console generation they were in soooo yea lol

Regardless of who won and who lost the OG console wars, we do need a new one to light a fire under Nintendo's butts. A new Sega that can be taken seriously will motivate Nintendo to do even better with exclusives.

@@MEGAD-nb9uu simply selling less units isn't "losing". You also have to look at the merits that the product achieved, and it's impact on the industry. The whole "Sega lost get over it" is always used as an ignorant excuse to end and argument about a certain game on both systems, even when Sega's fall back from the console industry has nothing to do with the quality of a particular game on both consoles.

Thiago Mascherpe Spinetti This is exactly how I've always felt about it, too.

Fair point. Dull as heck character but great game.

It came in 95 so probably at that point they were focusing on the Saturn.

Vectorman got a huge push from Sega of America. Consider it was a November 95' release on Genesis. The 32x had flopped already and the Saturn was out and struggling bigtime. I don't think Sega of America advertised any game more then Vectorman that year even on the Saturn.

@@supersexysega I see, in Europe the game was completely ignored.

@@Hektols I figured it didn't do near as well considering Vectorman 2 wasn't even released there. Vectorman 2 even got a decent push by Sega of America with it's own commercial. Also became an extremely late packin maybe the last one.

Any good shooters?

Something tells me you only played the less impressive part of the Genesis library. And it's also pretty clear you came here just to say this.

Vectorman is a nice game, but DKC sure looks (and sounds) better

Sega should have pushed the Sega CD as a logical upgrade to the Genesis just like what NEC did with the PC Engine CD in Japan.
