Sega seem to be the only ones that were immune to the cycle as all their consoles had the Pew Pew Goodness.
@AMAGON Last Bronx should've gotten a sequel instead of Fighting Vipers. It was the more interesting game, looked better on Saturn and was more than just "Virtua Fighter Strip poker in a cage"
GOOD Karl Jobst doesn't bring anything to the table. He might have been right about Graded video games but what he did to Billy and the Completionist was completely uncalled for.
