YT is a complete mess. Their AI bans people or deletes random comments. They're okay with extreme violence but any nudity is seen as requiring the biggest punishment. The platform needs to sort itself out otherwise more people are just going to go to Rumble.
This kind of goes with Sega not caring about its history. If it's done such a poor job keeping its assets then I have no doubt they have ignorance of what they own. They have A LOT of work ahead of them. 😆
@KingMike That's the least of it's problems. NOLFE is split between about four different companies.
@tektite_captain At this stage I have come to the conclusion that this isn't a scam but more a massive prank by a troll. I mean I've seen footage of this guy on stage doing a comedy sketch.
"We actually approve of your projects and appreciate your contributions to the gaming communities/industries across/around the whole world.
Please understand that some of our legal team employees/associates behind the false takedown requests intentionally made false reports in order to commit crimes in the names of your group members for no reason."
The whole thing at times felt like a troll. At times I thought it was a language barrier but even the Spanish gamers are confused by this guy. It's good that Iain Lee has been putting this into some neutral context but I think Martin really was deluded to start selling hardware under the Sega name.
This is a very impressive conversion. Can you imagine had we got this back on the Saturn in the 90's? Not only would it have looked slightly better than this it would have sold more consoles.
This doesn't make much sense to me. Three out of the five games listed there have had arcade releases which makes me believe they're all going to be Mega Drive ports. In that sense not sure what the point of this product is.
One of the best video game movies in my opinion. It's a lot better than some give it credit for. It's both knowingly camp but serious. The best way to look at this film is as a 90's version of Flash Gordon. Both movies have the same kind of tone. 👍
@KitsuneNight I got it as a birthday present from someone who later regretted buying it. I kept telling him it was a great present! 😊
I don't think he truly understands what makes Sega likable otherwise he would make better decisions like not ignoring his own IPs and embracing the companies history.
@KitsuneNight It ignores its own history or isn't even aware of it. They could be making money off new homebrew releases but because they don't want to spend money on a QA department we continue to get ugly off branded, non-uniform Mega Drive releases. Stuff like this incredibly annoys me.😆
This is like saying only one person has the authority to put out a SNES guide book. You'd have to be delusional to claim only one person has the right to a product or name. 😆

@GlamorousAlpaca Well okay... 😆
Re: 36 Years Later, Sega Genesis Is Finally Getting A Proper Port Of Shadow Dancer
I always found Shadow Dancer on Mega Drive a really difficult game.
Re: Atari Jaguar Is Coming To Analogue Pocket
Good work guys!
Re: Best Of 2024: The Inside Story Of Rare's Wrestlerage, The Lost SNES WWF Game That Evolved Into Killer Instinct
@X68000 I don't own that game yet. Good to know. 👍
Re: Game Of The Year: UFO 50 Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving
@X68000 He's criticising (being sarcastic) Damien for doing an article on Martyn Brown passing away so it's just complaining. Would love to know why.

Re: Best Of 2024: The Inside Story Of Rare's Wrestlerage, The Lost SNES WWF Game That Evolved Into Killer Instinct
So we could have got a side scrolling wrestling beat'em up?
Re: You Can Play The Dreamcast GTA III Port Right Now
It shows it could have been done. I wouldn't mind seeing a polished, optimised port of this.
Re: Game Of The Year: UFO 50 Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving
@X68000 He's being sarcastic. I don't know what he has against Damien.
Re: Team17 Co-Founder Martyn Brown Has Passed Away Aged 57
@GlamorousAlpaca Dude someone died. What's your beef with Damien? Did he run over your cat or something??? 😆
Re: Team17 Co-Founder Martyn Brown Has Passed Away Aged 57
He did a lot of great work for the industry, I hope that he gets more recognition in the upcoming years. Rest in peace.
Re: The Star Wars Holiday Special Gets Its Own (Unofficial) Genesis / Mega Drive Game
How many levels did he end up including? Looks very impressive.
Re: Best Of 2024: The Making Of FIFA Road To World Cup 98, The "Greatest FIFA Of All Time"
FIFA 98 was the last PAL Mega Drive game. Not a bad way to go out. 👍
Re: Best Of 2024: The History of Erotic Games In Japan
That's where most of your Japanese Saturn exclusives are. 😂
Re: Best Of 2024: "John Cleese Told Us To F**k Off" - The Inside Story Of Terry Pratchett's Discworld Games
The only thing that took some of the sales away from these games was the Simon the Sorcerer games that had come out before.
Re: Editorial: Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animals
Happy Christmas and have a Happy New Year! 👍

Re: The NES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy Gets Natively Ported To SNES
@RetroGames Thanks.

@sdelfin You think??? 😂

Okay this guy is trolling now. 😂
Re: Best Of 2024: The Making Of Nintendo Adventure Books, Mario's 'Fighting Fantasy' Period
I wonder if reading these it's more easier to control Mario... 🤔
Re: The NES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy Gets Natively Ported To SNES
@RetroGames So, there's no parallax in the SNES ports?

@Honkshot Good to see Tallarico won in the end! 😉
@PZT Okay that made me laugh. 😂
Re: Best Of 2024: The Making Of Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within, Square's Groundbreaking Box Office Bomb
The animation was amazing at the time and still is. The pacing of the movie is what let it down.
Re: Fan-Made Classic 'Sonic Robo Blast 2' Comes To Sega 32X
This is a very impressive conversion. Can you imagine had we got this back on the Saturn in the 90's? Not only would it have looked slightly better than this it would have sold more consoles.
Re: The NES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy Gets Natively Ported To SNES
I own the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on SNES. I wonder if this is really any better.
Re: Sounds Like Duke Nukem's Voice Actor Wants To Buy The Rights To The Character
I would love to see a new Duke Nukem game but I very much doubt he can do that.
Re: We're Not Getting Saturn And Dreamcast Minis, But We Are Getting More Sega Mini-Arcades
This doesn't make much sense to me. Three out of the five games listed there have had arcade releases which makes me believe they're all going to be Mega Drive ports. In that sense not sure what the point of this product is.
Re: Anniversary: Street Fighter's Live-Action Movie Is 30 Years Old Today
One of the best video game movies in my opinion. It's a lot better than some give it credit for. It's both knowingly camp but serious. The best way to look at this film is as a 90's version of Flash Gordon. Both movies have the same kind of tone. 👍
@KitsuneNight I got it as a birthday present from someone who later regretted buying it. I kept telling him it was a great present! 😊
Re: 28 Years Ago, Michael Jackson Collaborated With Sega On A Game That Never Happened
It's cool to hear about all the various games he worked on.
Re: Hackers Are Painstakingly Rebuilding This Lost Final Fantasy Game, One Piece At A Time
@GeneJacket Oh okay, so they still need to do it. Cool.
Re: Sega Has Been "Losing Confidence" But Its New Boss Wants To "Make It Really Shiny Again"
I don't think he truly understands what makes Sega likable otherwise he would make better decisions like not ignoring his own IPs and embracing the companies history.
@GlamorousAlpaca What's with the snark? 😆
Re: Fan Port Of Castlevania III Teased For The Mega Drive / Genesis, But There's A Catch
Instead of porting the game to Mega Drive I think it would make more sense to port it to Master System but still a cool achievement.
Re: Discovery's 'Game Changers' Series Under Fire For Using Historian Kate Willaert's Work Without Credit
What a weird thing to steal. They shouldn't have had to use her sprites in the first place had they done their research properly.
Re: Random: This US Bakery Still Uses A Commodore 64 For Sales In 2024
Not surprising. Some companies still use Amigas today. It's awesome. 👍
Re: Hackers Are Painstakingly Rebuilding This Lost Final Fantasy Game, One Piece At A Time
@PLATINUM7 No I meant Before Crisis.
EDIT: just checked. It's Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis that Before Crisis was remade as.
Re: Sega's Western CEO Isn't Interested In Saturn And Dreamcast Mini Consoles
@KitsuneNight It ignores its own history or isn't even aware of it. They could be making money off new homebrew releases but because they don't want to spend money on a QA department we continue to get ugly off branded, non-uniform Mega Drive releases. Stuff like this incredibly annoys me.😆
Re: Sega's Western CEO Isn't Interested In Saturn And Dreamcast Mini Consoles
@no_donatello "GOG just recommitted to their "Good Old Games" campaign and promised to keep the games supported and running well in perpetuity."
They should already have been doing this! 😆
Re: Sega's Western CEO Isn't Interested In Saturn And Dreamcast Mini Consoles
"I want to embrace modern gamers.
We are not a retro company."
The problem with modern Sega right here in a nutshell: ignorance and incompetence. 😆
Re: Hackers Are Painstakingly Rebuilding This Lost Final Fantasy Game, One Piece At A Time
Hang on...hasn't Before Crisis been remade recently by Square Enix?
Re: SNES And Game Boy Cult Classic 'Jelly Boy' Is Getting A Physical Re-Release
A Mega Drive release could be interesting but I won't be buying this Limited Fun release.
Re: Anniversary: Sega's '3D Reprint Archives' Celebrates 10 Years
@Guru_Larry Sega 3D Ages really needed a Steam release. Big missed opportunity there.
Re: EA Founder Denies Giving Sony The Idea For PlayStation
Good on Trip for not revising history. 👍
Re: Archivists Have Preserved Early Versions Of Lion King For The SNES & Game Gear
Would be interested to see this them preserve the Mega Drive, SMS and Amiga versions.
Re: Random: Sega Is Reviving A Saucy Viz Mega Drive Ad For New Japanese Clothing Range
The Viz by default is genius for having a character called 'Buster Gonad'. 😂
@Guru_Larry Probe were awesome. I still wish they were around.
Re: Crush 40 Singer Suing Sega Over Ownership Of Sonic Adventure 2's 'Live & Learn'
I'm not surprised Sega messed up with something like this. 😆
Re: Alwa's Legacy Dev Wants To Port The Game To The Mega Drive / Genesis
Doesn't look too bad. Again I think Sega aren't helping themselves by not licensing their name to this stuff.
Re: Infamous Trademark Troll Tim Langdell Is Back, And He Wants You To Buy His Dusty Old ZX Spectrum Book
