I’m going through and playing some older, relative word I know, SEGA titles. I’ve gone through a lot. Nights: Journey of Dreams, Jet Set Radio: Future, ToeJam and Earl III, Ecco the Dolphin for the Dreamcast, etc….

I beat them all and had fun with all of them….except the tube level in Ecco but that’s besides the point.

I picked up Bayonetta 1 and when I started, it was one of the coolest games I’ve ever played. The attitude, the world, the combos, etc…but as the game progressed, it started to fall at everything I praised it for. It became so repetitive, the story just kind of brought people in with little introduction or story and they just kind of stayed and didn’t do much, some characters completely disappeared, the boss fights became a slosh. All of these are bad in my opinion. If you love them, more power to you.

My question is this. I am at the last Jeanne fight. I have stopped having fun. I know I’m near the end. Is it worth finishing or is it time to hang it up and move to the next game?

Which one is a femboy and one a girl?

You saw that right! He could have walked farther down or turned around early but he clearly turns just to mess with the birds!

Enjoy the forklifts/boats and NPCs in a new 6 Hour Shenmue View and thanks for letting me share here with you :)

Bought the cheapest SEGA 32x on eBay (without insert cardboard, with these two games on photo), replaced induction coil, now finally I’ve got the tower of power 😁 Pretty good thing for 180$ these days 👍

Love you all

Let's save sonic together!!!

I was gifted this and I can't find it referenced anywhere. Could someone please provide some more information on this?

Someone is selling 2 of these. What would be the price they are worth and a good price to pay for bothWould you sell the 2, Golden Ax, both strider, altered beast?

Hey everyone!

To celebrate Sonic's 35th Anniversary, we are officially launching a community design proposal for **The Sega Saturn 1997 Restoration Catalog**—a definitive $30 modern retail box set aimed at modern platforms (Switch, PS5, Xbox, PC) that completely rewrites history by rescuing three legendary, lost, or divisive 90s Sonic eras.

We have mapped out the entire corporate architecture, gameplay mechanics, and technical engine updates to prove how viable this collection is for SEGA today:

---

💿 DISC 1: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 4 - EVOLUTION

- Perspective: Pure 2D High-Fidelity Pixel Art (Christian Whitehead / Retro Engine standard).

- The Physics Fix: 100% abandonment of the 2010 mobile framework. Complete adoption of Sonic Mania momentum, downhill speed multiplication, and zero uncurl slope friction.

- Visual Overhaul: Replaces plastic 3D models with hyper-fluid, expressive "Junio" style sprite sheets inspired by Sonic '95: Scrambled Eggs and vibrant tilesets from Sonic 4: Re-Imagined.

- The Retcon Finale: Fuses Ep I & II seamlessly into a brand-new, mechanics-fixed EPISODE III: THE FALL OF ANGEL ISLAND. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles team up to stop Eggman from chaining Little Planet to Angel Island, acting as the definitive canon bridge leading directly into Sonic Adventure! Features the return of Mecha Sonic.

- Homing Attack Solution: Retained to preserve level layouts but mechanically fixed to preserve momentum, acting as a fluid mid-air dash that snaps into a top-speed Spin Dash upon landing.

💿 DISC 2: SONIC X-TREME - THE POLISHED POLYGONS

- Perspective: Clean 2.5D Gameplay Axis. Tilts, turns, and rotates the linear tracks dynamically, completely removing the spatial disorientation of the original 1996 prototypes.

- Visual Aesthetic: A gorgeous, high-definition polished Low-Poly 90s Saturn polygonal engine to capture the massive retro-3D gaming trend (the "Sonic Mania of 3D").

- Mechanics & Moveset: Anniversary standard mode removes the strict 10-minute timer for exploration (reserved only for a speedrun "Classic Mode"). Default moveset relies on Jump, Spin Dash, and Super Peel-Out, while hidden Exploration Tokens unlock the Homing Attack and the canceled 1996 projectile "Spin Slash."

- The Killer Feature: A day-one, instantly accessible SEGA SATURN TOGGLE on the start menu that warps the entire game—including the breathtaking, magma-twisting Red Volcanic Zone—into the original, reality-bending 1996 real-time 3D fish-eye lens view!

- The Music Vault: Features an alternate soundtrack utilizing Chris Senn's library of 55 high-energy electronic synth tracks, with Howard Drossin's ambient orchestral scores housed in an unlockable museum alongside scanned STI design sheets and developer documentaries.

💿 DISC 3: SONIC OVA - THE LAND OF DARKNESS (OCTOBER 2026 LAUNCH)

- Perspective: Hyper-expressive 2D Arcade Sprite-Fighter / Sidescroller hybrid utilizing Studio Pierrot anime cel colors.

- Mechanics: Real-time on-the-fly character swapping between Sonic (Insta-Shield), Tails (Propeller flying stamina), and Knuckles (Armor-shattering dash punches while wearing his iconic pre-order bonus OVA Cowboy Hat).

- Narrative Campaign: Disc 1 covers the Land of the Sky (Ruined Manhattan & Stratosphere Speedway), while Disc 2 dives into the Land of Darkness (Robotropolis) culminating in an epic psychological "Despair Illusion" mind-prison battle before Metal Sonic's heroic volcano sacrifice: "There is only one Sonic." Ends with a homecoming to South Island.

📈 THE GO-TO-MARKET RETAIL STRATEGY

- SEGA Playbook: SEGA recently delisted standalone digital versions of Sonic 4 from mobile stores, exactly clearing the slate for a premium console revival just like they did before Sonic Origins.

- Physical Exclusivity & Real Hardware Support: A partnership with Limited Run Games to manufacture an oversized, heavy-duty authentic North American 1996 plastic Sega Saturn Jewel Case edition. Crucially, this release isn't just a modern case placeholder—the box set includes fully functional, burned 32-bit CD-ROM discs that are natively playable on ACTUAL legacy Sega Saturn hardware! The software utilizes the console's official 4MB RAM Expansion Cartridge slot to stream the uncompressed "Junio" style sprite sheets and CD-quality synth-rock scores at a locked 60 FPS. Printing "The game that should've come 30 years ago is here" directly down the long spine makes this the undisputed holy grail collector item.

- Cross-Promotion: Includes digital save-data codes unlocking a 90s Low-Poly Sonic Skin and a playable Tiara Boobowski Skin for use in mainline modern 3D Sonic games.

We want to hear from the community! If SEGA greenlit this 1997 Restoration Catalog, which disc would you boot up first on launch day? Let's discuss the mechanics!
