@Gamecuber It gets even weirder than that: while the obvious Batman, Godzilla, and Rambo lookalikes were altered to avoid copyright infringement, the Spider-Man wannabe was instead turned into Spider-Man himself, licensed from Marvel! (The Terminator just slipped under the radar, apparently.)
Correct answer: all of the above! But seriously, there are so many great games in Sega's back catalogue that a lot of us missed out on. Even if mini consoles aren't practical, re-releases on PC and modern consoles would be welcome. They could do a Saturn collection, a Dreamcast collection, maybe even a 32X collection...
@Damo I liked Gain Ground, but to be fair, it's probably not why most people are buying this console!
I fully agree with you and @Serpenterror about the Sega CD selection. There's some great and surprising stuff here already, for sure, but buying this mini console would be a no-brainer if it also had the likes of Lunar, Snatcher, and Keio. Oh, and Popful Mail, for good measure. As-is, it's a tougher sell, speaking as someone who already owns most of the previous classic Sega collections on PS2 and PC.
PD doesn't need a PC port nearly as badly as Ocarina of Time or Super Mario 64 did, seeing as it already got that Xbox 360 remaster. (Also, 4K60 is achievable even on the original N64 version, thanks to emulation.)
Even so, this could eventually lead to some really interesting things. New campaigns, perhaps?
Yeah, Kynan has been digging up a lot of cool stuff lately! And also this.
RIP Acclaim, the world wasn't ready for all your edge. ...and probably never will be.
Seriously, though, I doubt that this stunt would've done Vexx any favours, had Acclaim gone through with it. The oh-so-edgy marketing was, in my opinion, at odds with what was really a Mario 64 clone. A well crafted and criminally underrated Mario 64 clone, I'd add.
Sonic Adventure 3 is one of my dream games, and considering that the Adventure (and Adventure-like) series just got worse with each entry, a major comeback and redemption is welcome- or even needed! I've always felt that of all the 3D games, it was Adventure 1 that came the closest to capturing the essence of 2D Sonic, and that the Adventure format in general has far more potential than the boost gameplay that's come to define Sonic over the past decade or so.
