Yay for Sonic Adventure 2, at least it's widescreen this time.^^'
But please, don't let them make another Episode4. The Taxman should be the only one who's doin 2D games for Sega

I have a new motto for Sega. "If we want to do something right, outsource it to another developer."

I just realized that there hasn't been any Sega hardware that's been successful in more than one region. Sms in Europe, Genesis in America, Saturn in Japan, and Dreamcast in nowhere.  :'(

The Mega Drive was successful in Europe as well. :P

SMS and Megadrive were successful in Japan too - they had 3 models of the SMS before Europe got one. 
Megadrive had to compete with PC Engine in Japan which had already gained ground, but it did still compete.

Hmm, I read somewhere that it didn't gain the traction it did in North America. Guess I'm wrong.

Yeah that's odd, the SMS worked here and the Megadrive came out quite a bit before the SNES and was top dog for quite a while.

Not true, Mega Drive was huge in Europe at the time and everyone loved it, I wish the games were still being sold on the stores but time's changed.

IIRC, Mega Drive was more famous than Master System.

Sega's best console was/is definitely the Sega Mega Drive, awesome games, awesome machine, awesome classic to own.

In fact, I have two Sega Mega Drive PAL boxed as new and won't take neither out, they're just too precious to play with, for me.

That's a weird way to spell dreamcast.

You think Dreamcast was Sega's best console?

Well, in terms of hardware and controller, it was, but in games and whatnot, it wasn't.

This all explains why FamicomRetroGamer loves Sonic so much :)


When I bought the boxed Sega Mega Drive, the seller included another one free of charge and plus more games.

I got a couple of copies of Sonic 1 PAL and one of the Genesis version (US).

Yep. I don't know why, but I just get some happy vibes from some of the games. As if they're so Japanese and proud of it. It's a quirky little thing.

Also, Nights into Dreams HD announced.
