Definitely want to get an Evercade so I can check out some of these games compilations.
Utopia and Actua Soccer are games I'd like to try out. That off-road 4x4 looks good to me. It gives me those early PS1/Saturn vibes. Hopefully it doesn't play too rough...
SquareEnix should do a Soul Blazer Collection that includes that game along with Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma (and even the Granstream Saga, if they have/can get the rights to it).
They already did a physical Collection of Mana as well as the digital Collection of SaGa. Give us a physical collection of these games also and call it a day.
I'm glad an industry legend like Yuzo Koshiro is voicing his opinion. We need more of this.
I agree with @KingMike that the game doesn't get appreciated because few know that it was an NES port of a game that predates even the first Zelda. A similar situation is Ultima Exodus on the NES.
Maybe some of you won't love these games more than the original Zelda or Dragon Quest/Warrior, for example, but it's important people know the history before passing judgement. Those game may not exist if it wasn't for the Hydlides and Ultimas that paved the way.
I'm glad I bought all of these on the eShop last April while they were on sale for $1.99 each.
They may not be the greatest ports or have the quality of life improvements of Arcade Archives releases but at least I can play them anytime I want instead of waiting for them to be re-released (which could take months or years) for $8 each. So I'm happy with my purchases.
Sounds great. Looking at the screenshots, the game still looks great even today. I'm glad this game is finally getting a release outside of Asian territories.
Hopefully this will also help bring the insane collector prices down for the original used cartridges.
It's for the best that they are changing it to an original IP. They won't have to deal with Nintendo, and we'll get a new game that we can, hopefully, purchase a physical edition of in the future. If there's one thing the Genesis/Mega Drive always needed, in my opinion, it's a metroivania

It's cool that this prototype even exists
Re: Guide: How To Play Zelda: Link's Awakening DX HD On Steam Deck
Great info to have.

Re: The PC-88 Classic Silpheed Blasts Its Way Onto The Switch eShop on December 21st
I think we would all prefer the Sega/Mega CD version. This is still nice to have. Especially for game preservation.
Re: PC-88 Action RPG Hydlide Ventures Onto Nintendo Switch On December 21st
I still have the NES and Genesis ports.

Re: Sega Files Altered Beast, Eternal Champions And Kid Chameleon Trademarks
Very interested in new Eternal Champions, Afterburner and Outrun games.
I would like to see a new Altered Beast done in a beat'em-up style closer to to the Streets of Rage or Golden Axe series.
And a new 2.5D Kid Chameleon game in the style of the New Super Mario Bros. games would be nice also.
We'll see what happens. Get working, Sega

Re: The Making Of: Gunstar Heroes, Treasure's Mega Drive Masterpiece
Awesome game. I finally got it years ago on my PS3. Never finished it. It may be time to revisit it
Re: Gears Of Rage Brings "Mode 7-Like" Scaling To Sega Genesis / Mega Drive
Interested to see the finished product. Hope it turns out well. Always great to see new games coming for classic consoles
Re: Yes, This Is Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night On The Sega Mega Drive
Very cool. I remember seeing a video about this about a year ago. Would love to try out the full game when it's finally finished.
Hope they include the Sega Saturn-exclusive areas as playable levels. That would be awesome
Re: Fan Port 'Mega Final Fight' Playable Demo Now Available
Looks like the demo link is no longer working.
Would be interested to play this. And see how it compares to both the arcade (which I have on my PS3) and the SNES versions.
