History YMMV / Pulseman

* VindicatedByHistory: Downplayed. The game got SoOkayItsAverage reviews at best when it first came out (''Famitsu Magazine'' gave it only a 24 out of 40). When it was released on the Wii virtual console, both ''IGN'' and ''Nintendo Life'' gave it an 8 out of 10. The OST, in particular, received praise for foreshadowing themes that would later be heard in the ''Pokémon'' series.

* HilariousInHindsight: It's very ironic that this game is exclusive to the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis considering Game Freak would go on to create Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} second biggest franchise]].

* NightmareFuel:
** Beatrice shouting "Be careful!" when you're low on health or about to fight a boss. It's sudden and jarring.
** Stage 4, Thailand, has a very unsettling atmosphere to it, all thanks to its rather quiet music. However, in the second level, the music is accompanied by a [[HellIsThatNoise loud, bombastic sound that startles the player.]]

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: From a technical perspective, the fact that they managed to have a substantial amount of voice acting that's perfectly audible in a Genesis game is astounding. And in English to boot!

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Every time Pulseman successfully attacks Veil with an electric slash after cancelling out the latter's Volteccer with his own, [[https://youtu.be/bLMmndxtBg4?t=33 Veil quacks like a duck!]] It is as ridiculous and hilarious as it sounds![[note]]Listening to the same voice clip in the sound test reveals he's actually saying "Wow!" with DullSurprise... [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext which is just as ridiculous and hilarious in context]].[[/note]]

[[NothingIsScarier We never find out what that sound is.]]

* [[Awesome/VideoGameBosses Awesome Bosses]]: The fight against [[EvilKnockoff Veil]] in Alaska is not only an excellent MirrorBoss consisting of a [[RideTheLightning Volteccer]] duel, but is also accompanied by a [[SceneryPorn sunset backdrop]].

* GameBreaker: Pulseman's jump kick not only hits most enemies, including bosses, but also grants him complete invincibility while he's in the air.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Beatrice's "Be careful!" can get pretty annoying for players who tend to take a lot of damage and/or die a lot on boss battles.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The game's catchy and bass-heavy soundtrack gets you pumped and focused on the action, suiting the levels perfectly. Definitely one of the best techno scores for the console.
