I wonder if the second game is using the US soundtrack or the JP/EU soundtrack? The US version of Philistine in particular is a little rough on the ears, they really cleaned it up for the later releases.

Huh, watching that trailer made me realise Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland really inherited a lot from this game, at least from an art and audio perspective.

Edit: Huh! Googling a little, they share a lot of the same development staff, that makes sense then.

I was gonna cast a vote for my favourite obscure Game Boy title "Lil' Monster"...
But apparently it's so unknown it didn't make the list despite getting a western release, so oh well.

@ThanosReXXX Oh, definitely not saying you're wrong; it's always been "Say-gah" in the USA!
That was an advert for the old theme park Sega used to run in Sydney, official stuff for us Aussies!

In addition, the Master System held a lot more clout for SEGA than the consoles that followed it down here due to it being incredibly aggressively priced.
The system lacked the iconic startup sound, so in a world without the internet we called it "See-gah" back then and that's what stuck!

As @GC-161 also kindly points out, neither of these takes match the Japanese pronunciation, and on top of that the Megadrive's atrocious sound quality doesn't do that particularly famous voice byte any favours in determining the actual pronunciation; if you go in expecting to hear it sounding one way, that's what you hear!

Of course later systems with better audio would make clear the original intent, but it's an interesting little piece of historical gaming trivia when looking back at a simpler time where other countries seemed like other planets for all of us stuck down on the bottom half of the earth

@ThanosReXXX

But it WAS See-Gah down here in Australia

The characterisation of Samus in Other M is identical to how she's always been depicted in official media, essentially.
Due to her rather limited narration in games prior to Fusion and the lack of availability of the manga in non-japanese speaking countries, people had very conflicting ideas of what Samus, as a character, should be.
It's really not a bad game at all (in fact it's a fantastic one), it's just one that people hate on without really giving it a go.

This could be "Special Orders" mode, judging by the unused stuff found in the 3DS version.
Master Orders on the left, Crazy Orders on the right.

What that means exactly is a mystery, though...

Actually, Martinet's first acting role as Mario in a videogame goes to the obscure PC game "Mario's Game Gallery" ( AKA "Mario's FUNdamentals").

This is some good news!

Dragon Crystal is a very enjoyable roguelike; if it makes it overseas, I'll get it for sure.

The funny part is that Ocarina of Time is likely to end up the best fishing sim on the console.

A virtual pet game that comes with a physical robot body for your pet?

That's a rather compelling idea, actually.

Oh darn. Not Rayman Origins, then?

Just porting Rayman 2 again?
Isn't it a little redundant with the existence of the DS version?

If this version is of a higher quality then perhaps it justifies a release/purchase.
I just wish the Dreamcast version's soundtrack was as nice as that of the N64 version.
