Super Fighter Team is returning to the Genesis in 2015 with two more localizations! Gamtec’s Taiwan-only vertical shooter Magic Girl and the unreleased Epyx puzzle game Cascade.

Sega-16 takes a comprehensive look behind the making of a true Genesis classic. We’ve spoken to a dozen people involved at Disney, Sega, and Virgin Games, including programmer David Perry and former Disney Software Producer Patrick Gilmore. We even spoke to people who worked on the film! This is the definitive story of how three major companies united to create a fan-favorite.
Sometimes, the most unlikely of games get a second lease on life. That truth applies more to Shaq-Fu than just about any other game of the 16-bit era, but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Namco’s early 16-bit efforts are a lot of fun, and Genesis owners everywhere should check them out. Among the batch is an underrated sports title that mixes American football with soccer (and a bit of wrestling). With its simple gameplay and frantic pace, fans of brutal sports games might want to give Powerball a spin.
A new book on the Sega Genesis is slated for publication in June 2014, and it’s shaping up to be a most fitting homage to Sega’s flagship console. Over 300 pages of hardware designs, never-before-seen concept art and exclusive developer interviews promise to make this the must-have tome for Genesis fans everywhere.
