@WhiteTrashGuy No doubt. They had major problems between their Japanese and western branches at the time. Really makes you wonder what today's gaming landscape would be like if they went all in on the Saturn at the time worldwide.
I would say the Dreamcast, but if you include the Japanese library, it is unquestionably the Saturn. It bombed outside of Japan, but in Japan it had an absolutely stellar library of games that stomps the Dreamcast and Genesis.
I would say yes. It takes Metroid into 3D better than Mario and Zelda's attempts in my opinion. While I love the 3D Mario games, I also can't deny that taking a platforming game into 3D makes for a much less precise experience. There are countless times when judging depth and distance causes problems in 3D platformers, which just doesn't happen in Metroid Prime. Zelda did a better job than Mario, but I still think Prime is a significantly better game than the 3D Zelda games.
Not surprising at all consider Naka's gross history. He also forbid the Sonic X-treme team from using the Nights engine for no damn reason. Naka is one of the industry's most over rated figures.
sigh I just wish Konami would allow a quality developer to make a new 2D Castlevania game. And for the love of Belmont, please release another collection that contains the rest of the 2D entries in the series (the GBA, DS, and ReBirth games).
One of the worst games Nintendo has ever published. And one of only two Nintendo published games I've ever sold in my entire life because I hated it that much (the other being Donkey Kong 64).

Wish there was a blue tooth version of this controller. I don't have any available USB ports on my Switch.
Re: Square's "Lost" SNES Title 'Treasure Conflix' Gets Translated Into English
Sadly, it doesn't seem to work on a MiSTer. The game boots up fine, but the fan translated text is all glitched and unreadable.

Re: A Near-Legendary Castlevania Beta Has Just Been Shared Online
@Scrubicius I said new 2D game. I played that game nearly a decade ago...
Re: A Near-Legendary Castlevania Beta Has Just Been Shared Online
@Scrubicius I never said it wasn't?
Re: A Near-Legendary Castlevania Beta Has Just Been Shared Online
@Specter_of-the_OLED You mean the Genesis/Mega Drive.
