The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Wolf Team should be sued for false representation. Devastator may look like a great action title featuring a massive robot, but in reality it’s just a mediocre action title with repetitive gameplay. Aside from a few sparse effects, virtually all the power of the Sega CD goes to cut scenes and music , as the gameplay itself is nothing a cart couldn’t handle.
Viacom New Media had a healthy stable of popular shows in the ’90s, many of which were on Nickelodeon.

Real Monsters was one title that tried a team dynamic that worked to mixed results.
How do you take an above average CD title and make it bland? Take away the only special things the CD format added! That’s precisely what JVC did with Wolfchild, which lost its cut scenes and CD soundtrack during the transition to cartridge. Left to fend for itself on the strength of only it

It doesn’t really t make any effort to stand out among 16-bit beat-’em-ups, good or bad.
