@Martin_H Yeah I read the fax the same way. I hate how messages now are overbloated with unnecessary details when I just need to know what they need, when it needs to be done, and who I need to send it to. Micro-managing staff is the most insulting thing I think people can do for adults in a work setting.

@sdelfin I definitely agree about the cart making a huge difference. Back then (still in high school...I'm old as hell) my girlfriend had the PS1 version of Xmen vs street fighter and it was so much fun. I loved playing the arcade and when I learned you could import the Saturn version with the cart I instantly placed an order from a magazine ad. Once it arrived the Saturn version was so much better than the PS1. I think Capcom/Sega should've partnered up to make more games compatible with the cart. It would've been hilarious if they came up with a way to have it include improvements for existing games--patches/DLC content for Saturn games.

This seems pretty cool as long as there was some modders out there willing to provide compatibility for most games. Has anyone used that site before? I'm gonna scope it out, but I'll admit I'm reluctant to use any crowdfunding type of site.

@sdelfin I remember importing the Xmen vs Street Fighter game with the cart and after playing the PS1 version that my friend had it blew my mind that it was never released outside of Japan (now I understand why because the Saturn wasn't popular elsewhere). It's also strange to me that Capcom didn't try to use the 4mb carts for some of their other games in order to bring them to the Saturn....RE2 for example.

@Right_Said_Brett Yeah I've been following this since he announced it and I'm shocked at how good it's turning out. Also a shame that the Jaguar never had the chance to build any momentum back in the day because if they could've churned out a good port for MK and maybe Street Fighter 2, the console may have lasted longer than it did.

I really wanted to get a copy of Sovietborgs, but I'm reluctant to do anymore crowdfunding for games after getting burned too many times. Sad to see them go because they seemed like they really enjoyed making games for fans/players.

This reminds me a little bit of the port from last year for Batman Returns for the SNES game on the Genesis. No real desire to port the entire game but just demo the game on the hardware to guess what could've been.

The remake for 3 is completely inferior outside of the graphical overhaul. They gutted so much content of it that the first time I played I really thought it was unfinished.

@Martin_H Yeah I was just thinking it was weird that they're sold on Amazon, but nobody has done/said anything to them. I guess as long as they're not sold with pre-loaded memory cards it's acceptable.

This looks really cool and I love the 90s visuals, but I hope they use modern controls for the gameplay.

@bring_on_branstons I ordered from them last March and it was shipped within a couple of days. I can't comment on pre-orders, but I ordered when they sent out an in-stock notification for their deluxe bundle and I didn't get any delays.

@Geostyle Lol...heck yeah!! The sad thing is that Fonzie/Watermelong could've just released this digitally through Steam/Nintendo/PS/MS to make enough money to produce the physical copies they still owe everyone.

I really loved Buffy when it originally released on the Xbox. It's interesting to know how this game helped influence and pave the way for God of War.

@bring_on_branstons These guys have been pretty reliable so far and I have received their previous projects without too much headache (just the typical delays in production). They do provide regular updates even if there is a delay so there's not ghosting or radio silence.

@avcrypt I fit into the last part of your comment. I want one and can afford it...whether or not I'll get my money's worth out of having it? Nope.

@Lanmanna That's what the court was trying to determine. Was the person intentionally searching for child porn, or did it just happen to be in the stuff they downloaded? I remember the Judge asked the Psychologist if their opinion was that the person knew what they were searching for, or if they weren't tech savvy enough to know they downloaded something with the material in it.

What the heck...might as well get another Genesis game in 2025.

@RZ-Atom From my personal experience....this is true. I have several modded handhelds that are just sitting on the shelves. I "needed" a modded Sega Game Gear and flash cart only to play it for a couple of weeks and haven't touched it in almost 6 months. But I gotta admit this flip console looks pretty cool, especially if it can play Wii U and 3DS games.

@Siambretta Yeah I totally agree with this and I'm not surprised by this happening. At the end of the day people can play ignorant, but they still need to understand that doesn't excuse them from consequences of the content they have (I have seen someone get in trouble for having child pornography on their computer after downloading some questionable content off the internet).

@obijuankanoobie Awesome. The Virtual Boy is another misunderstood console that was ahead of it's time. I remember the days when those were easily found for dirt cheap clearance prices at Toys R Us and WalMart, I just feel really dumb for never buying one when that was possible.

@Sketcz Yeah. I'd love to see how things would've faired if the Saturn had big games like MGS and FF7...or even a great port of RE2. I'm not sure Sega would've won that generation but they would've been sitting better come the launch of the Dreamcast.

Such a tragic story of internal conflict within a company. I always loved Sega because it was my first console experience (Master System!!). I really wish they focused on 3rd party games as much as Sony did during that period. Another thing that really frustrated me was the fan-favorite Sega exclusives from the Genesis days really seemed absent or lackluster. Where was Streets of Rage? Or a great Sonic game? And if the rest of the world got the catalog that Japan did I feel things may have been better for the Saturn.

@GhaleonUnlimited Yeah I definitely agree with your opinion on the gameplay of MK1 as a whole. Compared to the competition the major selling point for MK was the gore/fatalities and, at least IMO, the cool plot and storylines. The SNES definitely got the nod when compared head to head with the Genesis version, and the only major critique is that it was majorly censored.
I'd definitely be happy to get this released to the public so that modders can finish it. Hell, we are in the year 2025 and we have a Jaguar port of MK1 and a 3D0 port of MK2 near completion....why not get this finished and released?

I remember reading about this back in the day when it was announced and there was some interest because of the nude-alities, but then it just disappeared (obviously because it was never released). I'm interested in playing this if it's ever possible.

Hahaha. This is great news. I've watched playthroughs of this game on youtube and always thought the coverart is stellar. The best thing is that the Saturn import is still pretty cheap. The sequel on the other hand, is definitely not cheap. I'd like to see if that one ever gets an English translation for the Saturn.

Nice. I never would've guessed that in the year 2025 we'd be talking about getting a new MSX game, but here we are and I'm ready to get it.

@Andee Yes!! This would be an awesome 2-pack HD release.

@Soupbones True legends never die!!

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this game that already has the patch? I can never seem to figure out how to patch games and this one seems like it might be a fun game to play.

@MARl0 Lol so did I and I actually thought it was a different game.

@KitsuneNight I hope they're going to work on this port next once they get the Neo Geo port finished and shipped out the door.

I'm one of the few people to have a copy, and IMO it's a good game. Not amazing or excellent, but I'd like to think the original intentions were in the right place when they started this project. I do hope those that paid good money for a copy....actually get their copy. And I also hope that this gets a ROM dump at some point in the future for the rest of the world to try playing.

@BulkSlash Hahahaha!!!

@X68000 I know this is a late response to your comment, but I keep getting shocked whenever I hear about homebrew projects like these. For instance, I"m probably more excited about the recent 3D0 port for MK2 than I am most new games coming out in 2025.

@RetroGames I love Streets of Rage 4 so I disagree with you on that, but I completely agree with you on part 2. IMO it's the GOAT of beat 'em up games. I understand people are going to have different opinions on games but any list that doesn't include Streets of Rage 2 in the top 3 is sketchy.

I never really had a big attachment to this game, but I will say this is a cool thing to see happening. As a video game soundtrack collector I'd love to get my hands on this one.

Is there a rom available that includes all of the listed updates?

@Axelay71 Agreed. The Saturn was the 2D powerhouse for that generation so it's a shame it never got a fully developed version of this game back in the day.
