The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Now that Beggar Prince is in people’s homes, what’s next on the agenda for Super Fighter Team? Are they already working on another game? Might we yet see a release of ChuanPu’s Shining Force-esque strategy/RPG Fengshen Yingjiechuan? Sega-16 sat down for some Q&A with the man with the answers, Brandon Cobb.
Ok, give us an upgrade and we expect all the good stuff from before with a few tweaks, as well as some new stuff. What we don’t expect is a game that plays worse than the original, especially when it’s on more powerful hardware. Games like Brutal: Above the Claw was why the 32X was never taken seriously. When your 16-bit version plays better and is more fun, why upgrade? Still, we have a review for those of you considering a purchase anyway. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Genesis fans sure do love their shumps. As one of the richest genres on the console, there’s no shortage of great games to play. The Sega CD continued this tradition with excellent original entries like Android Assault and Robo Aleste. It also had its share of ports, and one of the more controversial titles was Hudson’s Lords of Thunder. Long held to be inferior to the Super CD-ROM2 original, we’ve put them through their paces to determine which is the superior version.
Wisdom Tree sure had a run during the 8-bit era, releasing several mediocre games that were eventually ported to the Genesis…intact. Yes, games like Spiritual Warfare are perhaps the best justification for not trusting unlicensed wares, and we’ve the review to prove it. I’ll never doubt that Sega Seal of Quality again.
Entries in the long-running Raiden series have been ported many times, most recently to mobile phones, and the Genesis got its share of the lovin’: Christmas-card-to-that-second-cousin-you-hardly-ever-see-type lovin’. It may have not been the best of the bunch, but hey, it was still Raiden. Doesn’t that count for something?
