I didn’t know that.

And why is Sonic Jam so expensive?

Also, I got two sports games, had to get a replacement AV cable, and now need a lithium battery as the Saturn won’t save.

Sonic Jam is probably really expensive because it has a unique 3D overworld thing going on.

I’m guessing it’s because it’s more sought after than Sonic 3D or Sonic R.

The Saturn's good games tend to be super expensive because it was a flop outside of Japan.

Recently a guy made a video where he explained that the Saturn was the market leader in, of all places, Portugal. Not the world's leading video game market admitelly, but it's interesting trivia...

I love the Saturn. Great controller, great library, and so on but even as a guy who didn't get onto it at a praticularly great time, I do not envy anyone getting into collecting it just now. Beside the prices, you have to deal with the ever-growing problems with old optical media systems. (There's a solution to this but I don't know this forum's stance toward discussing flashcarts and OD Es).

Sega confirms Rieko Kodama passed away back in May after someone spotted a memorial in the staff credits on the Mega Drive Mini 2.

A pretty curious detail regarding the Mega Drive Mini 2:

You can toggle YM2612 Audio between original Model 1 and Model 2 audio.

I take it games sounded better on Mega Drive Model 1 than they did on the Mega Drive 2?

[up]That is what I’ve been told.

My Genesis Mini 2 is gonna arrive on 11/16. Japanese imports take a while to get to me.

Sad her death had to be found out this way, but fitting at least it's on a project she helped with. Really hope it maybe spurs on a Skies of Arcadia or Phantasy Star development.

Sega + Yoko Taro + phone games = Sega Waifus?!

At least, that's the gist of 404 GAME RE:SET, an upcoming waifu mobile game where instead of battleships, guns, horses, or JRPG girl tropes, all the girls are based off of classic Sega games!

So far, we have:

  • Out Run (1986) (voiced by Ai Kakuma)
  • After Burner (1987) (voiced by Akari Kitou)
  • Virtua Fighter (1993) (voiced by Fairouz Ai)
  • Virtua Cop (1994) (voiced by Aoi Yuuki)

Might we see waifus based on Sonic, Like A Dragon, Super Monkey Ball, or even Skies of Arcadia? (And who's expecting some really effed up stuff because of Yoko Taro?)

Trailer below!

Pre-registering is live for App Store and Google Play, coming 2023. Anyone gonna look into it?

As a massive Puyo Puyo fan, I can't help but wonder what that series would look like as a waifu.

[up]Yeah, I came into Nintendo's newest Direct and I was pleasantly surprised at Samba de Amigo coming back. Even more so because I don't think we had any hints about it beforehand. Like, no leaks, nothing.

There'd better be a Phantasy Star girl. Some approximation of Nei and Alisa.

If that 404 game is looking for Sega video game franchises that could work as heroic characters in a futuristic setting, they could do a lot worse than a personified Burning Rangers.

I'm also surprised After Burner, Out Run, and Shinobi haven't gotten new games.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central Update!

So bad news, the game got delayed to August 29 and will receive a digital deluxe edition.

Good news, said digital deluxe edition will throw in tons of Music and Costume DLC ahead of everyone else!

Puyo Puyo! (No specific character, but the overall theme?)

Seems like it's just the Puyos themselves (and a Chao shirt?). Fans seem to find the theme uninspired, and honestly if you want their opinions on what should represent Puyo Puyo, it would be an actual character. I would've picked Arle and Carbuncle myself, for an all encompassing representation.
