Re: Review: Speedway Racing - Daytona USA Has Nothing To Worry About

SegaBlueSky

Damn, put this on my wishlist when I first saw it but thought I'd check out the reviews first. What a shame. And now I see it in motion, it doesn't even look as good visually as Daytona USA 2001 on Dreamcast. Still, there's a few other low poly retro racer sims in development, hopefully one of them turns out good.

Re: Sakurai Knows Smash Bros. Has Too Many Fire Emblem Characters, But It's Nintendo's Fault

@FNL Completely proved my point there by going on to make a daft assumption about me.

I’m no fan, Smash isn’t really my thing. Bought the latest one but if I’m honest it didn’t really click and I haven’t been impressed by the DLC. Only bought Joker and even then only played it once since then so kinda wish I didn’t. Byleth was a massive disappointment but creating conspiracy theories about Sakurai and assuming he’s some kind of bizarre narcissist is just weird.

Re: Sega Laments Poor Performance Of Its Console Releases In Latest Financial Report

I love Sega - that much is clear by my username - but their approach bugs the hell out of me sometimes. Persona and Yakuza are both fantastic series and they've been knocking it out of the park with those. Sonic Mania? Awesome. Very excited for Panzer Dragoon on Switch and Streets of Rage 4, too.

But the fragmentation and inconsistency is what gets me. Phantasy Star Online 2 is a game I've been dying to play for years, and when they finally announce it for the West, it's North America and only on Xbox. New Virtual On Collection? Japan only. ARGH. Then there's the recent Super Monkey Ball release, which was of the worst game in the entire series. Grr.

And yes, we need more Saturn and Dreamcast era re-releases. The IP they have is ridiculous and they just don't do anything with them. I've re-bought classic titles for PlayStation, Nintendo and Square Enix countless times on multiple platforms and probably will do again. If Sega released the potential of their portfolio, people would buy them and I don't think it would just be oldschool fanboys like me.

Another "meh" for me unfortunately, so far Piranha Plant and Joker have been the only DLC characters I've wanted enough to buy, so quite happy I held off from buying the character pass up front. Fire Emblem seems a really anticlimactic one to end on, especially as there's already a blue haired, sowrd wielding Fire Emblem character in there already, but oh well.
