SO they had the blueprint with Dynamite Cop to make a 3D Street Of Rage 4 and Sega did nothing with it?!?

[@frogzx]

We are eating GOOD with these uploads

[@theycallmejojo6090]

Astal is the most “Sega Saturn” game ever. -really nice 2D sprites -god tier music -janky but charming english localization -flew under the radar when it came out -insanely expensive on eBay

[@Invidente7]

Most english translations were janky back then, the lunar games are an obvious example, but even so back then people were grateful for what they had.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Die Hard Arcade is *always* fondly remembered by Matt Mcmuscles.

[@biggestfan.]

Weird coincidence.. I just clicked off his latest upload.

[@Pikmin442]

Favorite Sega games: NiGHTS, Clockwork Knight, Sonic, and Ristar.

[@atmaweapon2803]

Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole for the Genesis is the greatest classic Zelda-like of all time, weird controls be damned. Stick with it, and you'll find a hidden gem so bright, you will need welding goggles. It was the first video game I played that felt like an immersive, whole three dimensional world, what with the awesome isometric pixel depth. There are also romhacks that fix the controls, if you really need it.

[@gamekeeper777]

They didnt slap the Die Hard license on it, it was always a Die Hard game. The Japanese version came out the month prior as Dynamite Deka because in Japan the Die Hard Rights were owed by another company. The serial numbers were filed off in Japan, not something slapped on for International release.

[@BugsyFoga]

Dang, you must’ve had some of these videos on the backlog if you managed to release them this fast

[@poptheweasel100]

I want a video on bad RPGs, just so I can hear you talk about Ancient Roman, the best worst PS1 RPG ever

[@woimdoodle1987]

Woo! The Club mentioned!!! I need a remake or re-release or a spiritual successor, please somebody

[@onthedre]

Sonic Rush Adventure deserves more flowers.

[@Hugelag]

14:24 Triple Trouble was so good that it got a fan remake to make it closer to the 16 bit games on the Genesis. I encourage anyone that hasn't played it to do so if you can! So good... Bonanza Bros is my favorite Genesis game and it's a shame it doesn't get the credit it deserves for being the first co-op stealth game. A dang shame it never got a sequel or reboot, but I'm glad they made it into Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing. And shout-out to the sister series: Puzzle & Action. I love WarioWare and it's basically that with, yet again, co-op. Ichidant-R, the _second_ game in the series got a Sega Ages port a couple years ago and it even comes with the Mega Drive port. It's completely in Japanese, but the online manual has some translations. It's also an RPG and the mini-game mode supports up to 4 players. Another easy recommendation.

[@otaking3582]

Sonic Rush Adventure and Knuckles Chaotix are both amazing games. I'd say that Sega needs to port them to modern systems, but they don't exactly have a great track record of Sonic remasters in the past few years...

[@koolaid33]

Agreed about those Sonic Game Gear games. Only found myself a Game Gear last December, got it with Sonic 2 and Sonic Chaos and just last month I picked up Triple Trouble. Chaos and Triple Trouble are my favourite games on the platform par none, and the ones I easily sunk the most hours into. They retain so much from the console entries, while still keeping with the times and being original. Triple Trouble is the better game of the two, Chaos' level design is very.. boring, or empty I suppose, and Fang The Sniper is pretty damn cool in Triple Trouble. I would avoid Sonic 2 though, it's super cheap but also extremely difficult. Like I've never beaten the very first boss of the game, and it isn't difficult in like a Dark Souls way where you build skill to beat the game, no, the first boss battle is complete luck, your on a slope that Sonic continually slides down, at the bottom is an enemy you can't kill, and you have to narrowly avoid bouncing balls (I think that's what they are?) that come at you at random intervals. Oh and did I mention there isn't a single ring in the entire stage, so if you get hit by the ball even once, or the enemy at the bottom, you INSTANTLY DIE. Most people online agree, they haven't got past the first damn boss either. If you want quality Sonic games, stick with Chaos and Triple Trouble.

[@thomaswrightson2230]

The original four Sakura Wars titles. The OG, Thou Shalt Not Die, Is Paris Burning?, and Fall in Love, Maidens. The music alone is pure nostalgia.

[@ShinParisu]

11:00 The design and skills of Pulseman was later used as the inspiration for the Pokemon "Rotom" an electric ghost type that also can posses electric devices like a poltergeist to live inside them and grant them unique characteristics and is currently used in many everyday appliances in the pokemon world such as the Rotomdex in Alola and the Rotom phones in Galar and Paldea.

[@videogamerzero1schannel]

Very great video & surprised this came out so soon! As for forgotten Sega titles I got two in mind for that, Rhythm Thief, a very sick rhythm playing as a stylish thief named Phantom R & appreciate how it also has a charming story on top of it then there's Sands of Destruction, a mega niche DS RPG that is really good for a subversion of saving the world to destroy the world for being beyond repair plus the combat is really good & surprised not a lot of people know about it but at least give the music a listen since it was done by Yasunori Mitsuda (Did most of the Xeno games & Chrono Trigger)

[@tallestlalafell2345]

I wanted to show off to my classmates in elementary school so i bought my brothers copy of Taz (the one with Marvin the Martian) to class and got it taken from the teacher, that jerk told me to come get it at the end of the year... I got it back on my last day of 4th grade and never told my brother why it disappeared and magically returned months later.

[@andrewollmann304]

10:00 “Soleil” is not pronounced “So-lee-uhl’l it’s pronounced “So-lay,” like “Cirque du Soleil.”

Crazy f King taxi, it seams im only one hype for its return, but woried about online multiplayer focus 😊

[@Vectormantudeoz]

4:58 That's the port for Sega Master System, this game even had a port for PC Engine 🤓👆

[@CrossfacePanda]

Although I only played the demo back in the day, I felt The Club was kinda overlooked at the time. It felt like a unique approach to a shooter with some fun ideas. An arcade style score chaser was always gonna struggle by that point, but I feel like it could’ve done pretty okay on PC nowadays with the right presentation and an incentivizing unlock system, maybe even a daily challenge sort of thing.

[@suntannedduck2388]

Their developed for sure lots. Yep those collections. Yep all 6 Tax games & Crusader of Centy knew about. Cool Saturn games, some some not heard of. Ah Madworld by Platinum after Clover. Or Binary Domain like many one offs. Their published of The Club (arcade+modern like PGR but shooter, ah Windows Live glad don't own the PC port but fair console version PS3/360), Alpha Protocol etc. ah great games, wrong time/rough Dev. Napple Tale looks interesting for a fantasy, sure the intended audience but looks cool.

[@NoSuRReNDeR001]

Shining Force 2 has my heart...3 was a good start in 3d - finally got Sf3 scenario 2 and 3 since they translated to English and emu is via now... after that it feels like SEGA kept screwing up every "Shining" Game... thankful we got the AMAZING Valkyria Chronicles series but I miss SF

[@briteboy6131]

Woah, I got into Alisia Dragoon through emulation a dew uears ago, and used to rent taz mania a lot as a kid. This video is insanely relevant to my interests, lol

[@eb-the-gamer6287]

Austin you are rapid firing these good videos! Give us time to breathe! XD

[@yakumoyomi5765]

My favorite Sega game? Dragon Force. I'm still salty that, not only did we not get the sequel on the Saturn, but we also didn't get the Sega Ages version released on the PS2.

[@pixaafterdark9915]

Dang, you're treating us good with all these uploads

[@ShinobiPhoenix-YT0]

My most important Sega game is Phantasy Star Online, but I think a lot more about VERSIONS of games they don't re-release ever. Genesis Altered Beast is everywhere, but where's ARCADE Altered Beast? They re-release the arcade originals of their games all the time, but not original Altered Beast which plays so different and looks different (added cutscenes too) and plays faster than the console versions. I love console gaming, but Arcade games is where I cut my teeth and discovered gaming at all.

[@DionneDion]

Oh yeah, it's a bit unrelated to the video but there's this one fake anime game called Helicops. It's quite forgotten, but it's probably mostly known as a game made by the developers that also made the monty python video/pc games.

[@lvl90dru1d]

0:47 but strangely not the titles from SG-1000

[@therant3837]

Dude Astal is definitely a hidden gem on the SEGA Saturn. The color, the backdrop; you know it kinda reminded me of 1980's and early 1990's cartoons, and heck you could interact with it. Speaking of which that's why I like playing Nintendo and SEGA games. The cartoon IS the game, and you get to be a part of that. Everybody seems to want the "real" looking games nowadays and to be quite honest I personally never really liked those kinds of games. They just don't click with me, and for those who DO like those kinds of games hey there's definitely a market group no doubt. I grew up with cartoony games going all the way back to the late 1980's and early 1990's with Atari and the NES. I didn't get around to SEGA actually until the Dreamcast came out, and no matter what people say about that system I thoroughly enjoyed the living tar out of that sucker. But.... when The Playstation 2 came out I couldn't afford it for quite a few years after it came out. I can remember being in The Army in the barracks 20 something odd years ago and my battle buds and I would get drunk and have competitions with Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast. Oh my that was fun, however I will say I was kinda bummed because when I saw Soul Calibur in the arcade the Dreamcast version looked even better, and I used to love the arcade (and I still love the old school games) but it was then I realized that home consoles were going to eliminate the arcades after that. That was when I knew the arcade hay days were pretty much over. I'm 45 years old so I remember when the best graphics and sound for a long time could only be found at the arcades when it came to games. Home ports were fun but the arcade gave you the ultimate experience when I was growing up.

[@lutfimakarim8258]

I think Sega themselves are forgetting everything except Persona, Yakuza and Sonic

[@PluckyInc]

trivia about Clockwork Knight' 2s release, it's actually just a localization of the 1+2 compilation that was released in Japan, just with the first half locked out. but you can access it with a code. on the main menu: press up, down, left, up, left, down, right, up, L, R, L, R

[@Klookko]

14:45 "Just watch out for serial arsonist Knuckles" THE FLAMES OF DISASTER!!!

[@Knux84]

The GameBoy Advance didn't have a backlit screen - that was the GBA SP. Further proof of the Game Gear's superiority ;)

[@NNDMProductions]

Hey Austin would love a new PS2 video!!! I found Road Trip Adventure through your video and its one of my favorites now!

[@zigazav1]

Oh? Ancient? The company behind Gotta Protectors. An obscure 3DS so obscure, it never got DLC outside Japan beyond the soundtrack DLC. Which means there are playable Classes that are JP exclusive. They tried to promote it through a strange NES game they made that I believe was released on the Switch Eshop (it's long since been delisted. You have to track down it's NES rom to play it now) called "Amazon's Running Diet", but that way to advertise the game obviously didn't work. Then they tried again to have the Gotta Protectors franchise get the attention it needed, through Cart of Darkness, which I did buy, but unfortunately, it turned into a tower defense game with fixed loadouts and temporary growth. A tower defense game where the "tower" moves on it's own. Instead of being a strange 2D Dynasty Warriors clone like the first game was. You still though have to defend the princess from damage though. Otherwise, her intense scream of pain breaks the world, just like the 1st game in the series. It's a shame the Gotta Protectors franchise failed so much. I liked the game. The retro game references in dialog, and it's 4th wall breaking writing, really entertained me.

[@SuperTeeter64]

More and more videos? Heck yeah. Greatly appreciate it. It’s Christmas early!

[@hyperfixatedd]

My man is WORKING dude what the hell Great video as always!

[@simondaniel4028]

Crusader of Centy is one of the few I went back to buy, later in life, CIB. I was 8 or 10 when I was renting this and had no idea how good it actually was. Time travelling, animal-chatting platformer with big 'Are We The Baddies?' vibe with that outrageous color palette and amazing soundtrack. The best Link to the Past game.

[@mrdudebro6005]

The Club is the best Sega game. Massively underrated. As good as 50 Cent: Blood in the samd

[@budyll1]

How can someone be such a hypocrite? Austin is constantly saying how much he hates microtransactions and Pay-2-Win and yet he keeps sponsoring microtransactions ridden, Pay-2-Win mobile games. What a joke...

Man you a BEAST laying out these videos like an all you can eat buffet! You like Gambit making a NAME FOR YOURSELF HERE!!

[@BlancoDasMe]

As iconic Sega is; I gotta say my pick is Skies of Arcadia. The vibes, music, battle system, the characters….that game is full of charm and I dream of just a remaster…one of my favorite games ever. PSO a very close second though!!!

[@RyukoDragonHalf]

Astal!! That's quite fun as two player, and having the bird attack the moving platforms to pause them in Sea of Clouds makes it SO much easier! And we played so much Clockwork Knight 1 and 2, even if we had trouble properly beating them - funny to think they were Keyblade wielders before Kingdom Hearts... Fantastic look back at these classics, my husband and I enjoyed going down memory lane!

[@EhrenLoudermilk]

F-Zero GX is my goat. I have been playing daily for nearly 2 decades. It's probably the only game i ak actually good at. Well, that and Tekken 4.

[@droppedcombofiend2707]

Woah. Someone else who played Timestalkers! I thought I was the only one who even knew about that game.

[@Morninqstar]

Wonder Boy in Monster World was my childhood. Could never beat it but I had fun being a terrible gamer as a child. *edit* taz got replaced by no fear. at least in my community lol.

[@wingedmirage4226]

As someone who grew up with Archie Sonic comics, fun fact: Astal actually shows up as a background character at random points. He never says anything, but you’ll see him celebrating/fighting sometimes whenever there’s a large group of people. I mention this because for the longest time I had no idea who or what in the world he was supposed to be. Kid me made up my own name and backstory for him and everything lol. It was only until recently that I found out who he was and where he actually came from. So I kinda have this weird soft spot for the guy even though I’ve never played the game.

[@TevorTheThird]

I'm so glad Sega is still around and going strong these days. They're still easily a top 5 publisher for me, regardless of how much they've changed over the years. Note: Anarchy Reigns fucking rules!

[@theabsurdplatypus4688]

Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure for the 3DS is shamefully overlooked among SEGA's output in the 2010s. It still boggles my mind that it never became a full-blown franchise with like five sequels and a tie-in anime series!

[@davidt3563]

Thank you for covering Astal!! I picked it up as a kid from the bargain bin for like 8 bucks. I went in expecting really nothing since it was "2D crap" but ended up really loving the game. Anime was still really new in my neck of the woods, only like 6 people in my school knew of it so we tried to consume anything we could. Astal went from a curiosity to a special place in my heart. The scaling, rotation and unique art make it still awesome today.

[@diegolopezpresa9719]

Another video? Dude, I hope you are resting and taking care of yourself, I'm happy for the content but please take a nap

[@Equ3strianGam3r]

I remember renting a 32X when they came out. The video store near my grandparents house would let you rent consoles for 2 days. My brother rented Tempo to play on it and I chose Knuckles Chaotix. We both enjoyed Tempo a lot more.

[@Unotuchable]

It's such a shame that Sony having zero interest in allowing 2D games on the console meant that we never got that next big step up of high quality 2D sprites. Looking at Super Tempo and the sprites for that are gorgeous.

[@finalpalerider66]

This is hard I have two favourite saga games one modern and one classic so I’ll say both, Lost judgement & sonic adventure 2, while the main plot in the judgement is better in my opinion the second game was better in every other aspect the new style going back to 7’s location the opening song, Now with sonic adventure 2 SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG enough said.

[@catriamflockentanz]

My favorite Sega Game? Valkyria Chronicles (But not the botched PC Port though). I would really like to get into a conflict that is not the second europaen war by now. And for the love of god make no further pre-ragnite prequels please. 26:51 I know that Americans often have a hard time pronouncing german city names and sometimes get so terrified by laying eyes on an "ö" or "ü" that they just invent alternative names altogether... (Pro-Tip, you can replace them with oe and ue as well as ae for "ä" all the time.) But how do you read "Bremen" and say "Berman"? That sounds more like you just squished Birmingham.

[@SOULTRANADA]

[@andrewscherman6165]

Austin, you mention Yoko Kanno but fail to mention her work with GiTS SAC 1 and 2? For shame those opening and closing titles were bangers. Also shoutout for DC love, that system is still underappreciated.

[@frostmourne1986]

Speaking of the game gear, the Power Rangers movie tie in game is surprisingly goated. It was basically a fighting game and beat-em-up combined AND done very well.

[@VHStapeworms]

Hey, I love Time Stalkers! I keep expecting it to be one of those games that randomly catches heat and people rediscover. Some of what it got knocked for on release is exactly what would get people interested in it today like the roguelike elements.

[@Dopamine9481]

Appreciate your hard work. You're so real for mentioning Skies of Arcadia.
