Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Mega Drive

@SegaBlueSky Yup. That controller was a game changer. Nintendo Fanboys can keep lying to themselves all they want but the 6 button Sega control pad was the definitive controller. If Nintendo had released the exact same SNES pad but with the top buttons coming down to the front, Nintendo would have had a contender. Still a great pad but come on, SF does NOT play as well on the SNES compared to the Genesis port because of the shoulder buttons. Fact. Not opinion.

I grew up with the NES. Loved it! When it was time to upgrade to something better Sega made that decision easy when they released Sonic. There was nothing like it at the time. It was Mario on speed and it was and still is a beautiful game that plays and sounds great. Plus Sega was pushing arcade games hard before Street Fighter 2 was even a thing on the SNES. And sports games played and looked better on the Genesis. But boy did I miss out on so many great RPG's. Secret of the Mana to this day is still one of my favorite SNES titles, as well as my favorite RPG and multiplayer game. Going to my friends house and playing the SNES was always a good time. TMNT Turtles in Time. Come on, how can anyone not like the SNES. Still didn't stop me from talking smack at the school playground but that's just how it was.

Nope. I live in the US and pay $100 a month for 400 mb(d)/40 mb(u) and because of the internet monopoly Suddenlink has in my area, the service is hit or miss. Best of all, when I call to complain, it's always something wrong with MY hardware first and foremost. We are many, many years away from streaming being a viable option, let alone a replacement for capable, physical hardware.

It looks ugly. There I said it. I love the concept but it needed to look more like Coco and not this atrocity. The truth is it's not visually appealing. If you took this game and put it next to Splatoon 2 or Fortnite or Overwatch, and then you manged to find 1,000 kids that never played any of those four games and this game would lose every time. More kids would line up to play any of those other games and then would continue to play them because they play as good as they look.
