Captured on real hardware.2. There's also a PC version of the first game. 3. There are similarities between Zero Divide 2 and the Saturn version. Most art assets are wildly different, however. 4. The Saturn version plays faster than the PS1 editions. I dare say better, as well. 5. Zoom was the developer that did the shoot'em up Phalanx for the SNES.

There is a mixture of FPGA, emulation, and real hardware in this.2. The making of this video was grueling. It was rewritten several times.3. I purposely left out the Turbo Express. I would not use it unless sales of the base unit turned around significantly. 4. Waiting to release the Turbo CD is a must. I think it helps mitigate expenditure at a crucial building point. 5. I would not have designed the PC-FX the original way. NEC went in a direction that gave it no meaningful chance at success.

Saturn footage captured from real hardware. 2. Arcade footage from Nebula Model 2.3. I forgot to mention it in the video but the arcade version was developed by AM3 and AM4.4. Sega Technical Institute assisted in the home port. 5. There's a PC version of this game as well. It looks and runs significantly better than the Saturn port. 6. While Manx TT sold decent for Sega, they had numerous units left over after manufacturing stopped. These were turned into Moto Raid units.7. I wanted to show more of the split-screen mode but my wife has been working extra the past few weeks, leaving me without anyone to help capture it.

Remastered in 4K.2. The Game Gear and SMS versions are nearly identical. You are missing nothing by choosing one over the other. 3. Both gameplay captures come from the Mega SG. 4. Sega really should have made a Castle of Illusion 2 for the Saturn using its 2D capabilities. I mean it was begging for it. 5. I plan on reviewing the 3D remake soon, which is why I brought this combo video back.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. I used FPGA for the NES, Game Gear, and Game Boy titles. I used emulation for the 2600, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Wonderswan Color footage. 2. I consider Sonic Pocket Adventure second only to the Genesis/Sega CD games.3. Bonk was also on the Game Boy. In fact, many of these games also had Game Boy versions. 4. I have been exploring the Commodore Amiga a lot in the past year. I want to do a video on it but I have to confess I am finding many of its games to play significantly worse than expected. The deeper I go the lower my opinion goes of it. I'm not sure if it is the fact I never played the games when I was younger or if time has made me less forgiving. 5. Game Boy music always surprises me. It's amazing how good that little chip can sound. 6. Most of these games are super easy to emulate with something like Retroarch. Just download the core, get your game, and go. 7. I found a ton of games that would fit into this type of video for many of Sega's properties. Perhaps I'll focus on some of them if there is a demand for a part 2.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. I used emulation for this review. Kega Fusion played it well and my usually reliable Mega SG/SD combo kept locking the game up. 2. Some regions of the world didn't get this version until the second half of 1995. 3. Contrary to popular belief the Genesis and Sega versions were not the same game. Both were developed and published by different companies.4. The SNES version of this is my least favorite. The tiny characters look terrible and that Earthquake sprite is laughable in its smallness. 5. The Sega Game Gear also got a port of this. 6. Samurai Shodown is known as Samurai Spirits in Japan. 7. It really is a shame that the developers attempted no scaling at all here. Like I said in the video, even a zoom in at the start of the match would have been something. Even the PC Engine versions of Neo Geo games attempted something special in this regard without any special hardware.
Did Sound Hurt the Sega Genesis? Sega Lord X 2024-03-05 | It's a question as old as the 16-bit war itself. Did the sound of the Sega Genesis hurt its long term appeal? I'm now on Patreon!

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. This video was a massive undertaking and has footage captured from the original consoles as well as FPGA alternatives. 2. I really wanted your ears to do most of the deciding in this episode. I tried not to spend too much time harping on technical specs.3. I discovered a few more great Genesis soundtracks while making this video. Devilish was quite a surprise. 4. I couldn't put every Genesis game that sounded good in this episode. Just because it isn't here, doesn't mean I don't like it. 5. When I got my SNES I immediately hooked it up to my stereo. I really irritated everyone in the house for months until I got a good pair of headphones with a very long cord. 6. The SNES was the first system I saw via S-Video. Changed my life in an instant. 7. I consider Super Castlevania IV to be the pinnacle of SNES music.8. This video was a nightmare to get posted. I ran into copyright claims on the music and I uploaded the wrong edit before this final version. 5 tries in total.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. Captured from real hardware.2. During development this was known as DDD.3. I pronounced this exactly as it appears until I played it and heard the title screen pronounce it differently. I still call it "D-X-Heard" sometimes. 4. Nextech also did the Resident Evil port to Saturn and developed Resident Evil Code Veronica on the Dreamcast. 5. Should you go after a physical copy of this, it's much more expensive than I would have ever thought. It's $30-$40 complete. 6. Eiji Shinjo from Toshinden is playable but nothing like he is there. He's much slower and stiffer, with different moves.
The Sega Saturn VS The Arcade - Part 3 Sega Lord X 2024-02-27 | Decided to recut this because I found some glitches in the Zero 3 footage and I was unhappy with the compression.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. I put the capture info at the opening so you understand these comparisons can and do look different based on many factors. Your capture settings are a big one, as are things like resolution when capturing emulation from programs like MAME. Since I do not own tons of original arcade PCBs, unfortunately, I have to use emulation. In my current setup, I capture it straight from my arcade machine, which has a 4:3 1280x1024 monitor in it. 2. Primal Rage had a few issues in MAME where sometimes the fighters would land improperly. 3. In the OutRun segment the Saturn version is running in its smooth mode. 4. Many of the Saturn games look a bit darker than the arcade footage. That's just the settings of my capture equipment vs. the raw capture of the emulation. 5. I have already chosen the games for part 4 - a whopping 16 games in total. 6. I used the Japanese Saturn version of The House of the Dead in that segment. That's why the blood is green. 7. The music in the final comparison of Revolution X is from the Genesis version. I wanted to avoid any copyright issues.
Demolition Man - Sega Genesis & CD Review Sega Lord X 2024-02-23 | It came late in the life of the Genesis and Sega CD. A run 'n' gun in the same mold as Terminator CD.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. Captured on the Mega SG/SD. 2. Most of the original magazine reviews for this landed as far as 6 months before the retail release. 3. There are only 2 overhead stages.4. The music in the SNES version sounds a lot like the Genesis game. The voices are clearer on Nintendo's platform, however. 5. Alexandria was also responsible for Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings. They went under after these two releases. 6. Acclaim also did movie games for stuff like Stargate, Judge Dredd, and Batman Forever. I feel this was the best of the bunch. 7. The ending of the cartridge versions is pretty lame. A quick picture of Spartan and a few words. Credits roll and game over.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. All footage from real hardware. 2. The Saturn URA has a number of stage redesigns, a different story, 5 new characters, 3 missing characters, and different details on many of the fighters. 3. The image quality in this game is very strange. It looks both high rez and low rez at the same time. The screen has that interlaced look of using the 704x480 mode of the Saturn, but everything looks kinda pixely and blurry.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. Games captures on the Mega SG and Super NT. 2. Music episode on this subject is already in the works. 3. I had considered a section comparing some Turbografx games, but the video was already 30 minutes long. 4. I tried not to harp on it in the spirit of fairness, but I personally feel many Genesis games looked better than their Super Nintendo counterparts. 5. Transparencies were another issue I have considered covering.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. Numbers taken from a few different sources like Wikipedia, VGCHARTZ, Media Create, and NPD. 2. Bayonetta under Nintendo has sold an additional 3 or 4 million across all releases. 3. I found Virtua Fighter numbers as high as 18 million, but I'm fairly certain Sega included downloads in that from online services like Playstation Plus. 4. I was shocked that some Sega franchises like Phantasy Star have moved paltry numbers over the years. I feel any hope of Sega returning to a traditional release of that is long gone. 5. One thing that hurt many of Sega's classic franchises was the fact that the hardware it was on wasn't popular. Games on the Saturn, no matter how good, simply didn't have the installed base to sell big numbers. 6. Sonic's most recent mainline entry, Sonic Frontiers, has moved some 4 million units since its release.7. Sega allows Atlus to operate mostly on its own so I did not include the sales from its games. Atlus even publishes many of its game related franchises. I know it's still a subsidiary but I wanted to keep it separate here.8. I also kept separate studios that Sega only acquired in recent years. That's why franchises like Two Point Hospital aren't here. I wanted the games in this video to have either been created by Sega or owned by Sega for a significant time.

Captured from the Mega SG. Super NT for the SNES comparison. 2. Sunsoft also published Aero 2 right at this game's release. 3. The last area is the factory, a series of really difficult obstacles and enemies that do multiple points of damage. I needed save states to get through them and preserve my sanity. 4. Sunsoft also published the massive disappointment, Blaster Master 2. 5. I was not a fan of the vehicle based stages in this title. They are short but cheap as hell.6. It was pointed out that the story in Zero takes place after Aero 2. I went back to verify and it seems that is correct. The ending of Aero 2 directly references the events that start Zero here.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. Captured on the Analogue Super NT - except Kirby, which I used some old ZSNES footage I had. It's not emulated 100% correctly. 2. I used the Japanese version of Super Mario RPG because that's the one I own.3. I always liked Final Fight but never considered it anywhere near as good as the Streets of Rage games. None of them. 4. It still amazes me that some of these came out as late as they did. You expected it to an extent because the SNES was 2 years after the Genesis, but with the new generation started, Nintendo hung on to its 16-bit throne as long as it could. 5. Check out the first Super Turrican as well. It's pretty good itself. 6. Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run has a nasty pitching AI. It does not make it easy, especially in the games with the better teams.

Captured from the Mega SG(Gameplay). Music from real hardware.2. I broke my leg the summer Part 1 was released. Having it at the time was a godsend for my mental health. 3. Street of Rage 2 was released on a 16 megabit cartridge, four times the size of the original.4. Streets of Rage 3 was released on a 24 megabit cartridge.5. After the mainline Genesis releases, a new Streets of Rage never appeared on Saturn or Dreamcast. 6. Adam will always be my favorite in Part 1. His absence in 2 and 3 was criminal.7. 5 companies made Streets of Rage 2:Sega CSAncientH.I.C.Shout! DesignworksMNM Software8. Yuzo was certainly the lead on part 2, but a couple others contributed heavily to the sound.Music Composition: Yuzo Koshiro, Motohiro KawashimaSound Effect: Yuzo KoshiroSound Driver: Takeshi Maruyama9. The European version of part 2 allows you to pick the same fighters in co-op using a code.10. There are a few differences between regions in part 2. Some mild censorship is there for instance. Mr X smokes a cigar in the Japanese version, and you can see Blaze's underwear during her attacks. 11. There was a pack in of part 2 with the Sega Genesis called the "Fighting System" briefly. It's quite rare today to find it complete. 12. As far as I know, the PAL releases of part 3 had all the same changes as the US version. 13. I always believed that Sega should have done a special Sega CD or 32X edition of these as well. It was such a missed opportunity. 14. Max is missing from part 3 entirely. 15. The Japanese version of part 3 has more difficulty settings open by default. There is a Very Hard mode that is quite nasty.

I want to thank you all for watching my channel in 2023. It was a great year for me and I'm really looking forward to opening up even more to other consoles in 2024.

Sega Arcade Power! - The System 16, 18, & 32 Series Sega Lord X 2023-12-25 | Big compilation of over an hour of Sega arcade goodness.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. I used mostly MAME for this capture. 2. Fantasy Zone II DX The Tears of Opa Opa was released as a stand alone cab in Japan. 3. The System 16 hit the arcade nearly 3 years before Capcom's CPS and nearly 5 years before the Neo Geo. 4. I often wonder what the Genesis would have been like had its VDP been more like the System 16. That sprite scaling could have made a world of difference. 5. There were more System 16 titles than I covered here. More sports, puzzle, and Japanese-centric material.6. Most of System 18 games are 3 and 4 player co-op. 7. Most System 18 games still have no modern console versions. 8. Laser Ghost had an energy gun that put you in mind of the Ghostbusters proton glider. I'm surprised Sega didn't get sued.9. Despite being nothing like the arcade, Outrunners on the Genesis actually has a decent soundtrack. I use it here in the closing segment. 10. Outrunners is one of my favorite racing games ever. I first saw it at a summer camping retreat when I was 18. I dumped many credits into it that weekend.11. I mentioned multiplayer numerous times during the System 32 segment because most of these games had it and the entire balance of the gameplay was designed around it. The more people you have often leads to a much better experience. 12. I always thought the Sega CD would have been a great place for many of the System 32 games. There would indeed have been a lot of concessions and cutbacks, but I feel many would have still been well worth the effort. Especially since the Sega CD had so few games that really showed off its scaling features.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. Most of this is captured on real hardware. I did break out the Kega for a couple.2. Despite the moniker, FULL MOTION VIDEO, Sega CD video was usually quite choppy. 3. I never understood why Sega just didn't use a video solution like the 32X employed to get more color out of the Sega CD. I mean even if it was just another 60+ colors it would have helped immensely. 4. Funny enough, Japan did not share Sega of America's fascination with FMV. Very few came to Japan for the Mega CD and what did show up, sold terribly. 5. The FMV craze didn't even make it into the 32-bit generation very far. By the time Saturn and PSX got going, most companies had completely turned their noses up to it. 6. I used Bram Stoker's Dracula to illustrate a traditional gameplay type that used video as its backgrounds. that game sucked, but I thought the idea was sound. 7. Yeah, I know how to say Kamen. I pronounced it like (R)amen for so long it just kinda stuck.
Toy Story - Sega Genesis Review Sega Lord X 2023-12-20 | Donkey Kong Country wasn't the only pre-rendered 16-bit wonder. I'm now on Patreon!

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. Captured via the Mega SG. 2. You'll notice a few of the captures has the life star spinning. This was an invincibility that I somehow activated. No kidding. I never put in any invincibility code or did the stage 2 trick. It cut itself on automatically during one of the later stages. No clue if this was because of the Mega SG or what. It stayed on till the final stage. 3. There are lots of little differences between the SNES and Genesis versions. Details in the backgrounds, color changes, and the SNES has little load times between deaths. The 3rd person driving segment is missing from the SNES, and the SNES first person stage is much shorter. Largely they are the same, however. 4. This was also available for the PC and Gameboy, though I have played neither. 5. I wasn't kidding about a Saturn version. Use that pre-rendered animation and have the Saturn put up polygon backgrounds and this would have been a hit I feel. A real missed opportunity. 6. The PAL version is region locked, so if you want access to the password system, be sure you have a way around it.

Jet Set Radio Future was really a remake of the Dreamcast game before it. It wasn't all new content.2. Sega Forever and Sega Ages Switch were supposed to add games from consoles like the Saturn and Dreamcast. They generated a lot of hype. Of course, it never happened. 3. Golden Axe in its traditional form has never been 3D. Beast Rider was a big change in terms of core design and mechanics. 4. The prospect of an Outrun 3 has me most excited. if done with modern visuals and expanded tracks, this could be a monumental return to form. 5.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comOutro Animation by Kevin BhallYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/NIGH11Episode Notes:1. Retro-bit provided the review sample. I was not paid to review it. 2. There are macros to reverse the A/B and X/Y buttons should you desire it. 3. Some have complained of the default button mapping, but outside of the described 3D Control Pad issues, I had no problems in this regard. 4. I have found that since I wrote this review, the controller sometimes becomes unresponsive when switching between devices. Clearing the settings and pairing it back to the receiver fixed this. 5. I own a Macbook but no games. I could not test it there.6. The Genesis Mini footage you see has games not on the retail unit.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Captured using the Mega SG.2. There were other Sonic games on the Genesis of course, but this one ended Sonic Team's tenure as the main developer. 3. Sonic & Knuckles has been reissued many, many times over the years. There are numerous modern alternatives with enhancements. 4. While this boasted compatibility with Sonic 2 and 3, it did not add any meaningful additions when used with Sonic 1. It can be hooked up to randomize Blue Sphere stages, but I can't say I thought much of that. 5. Sonic & Knuckles was released in Japan less than a month before the Saturn launched there. It remains extremely rare due to its low print run. 6. Because of the later release, it came in the dreaded paper boxes for the Genesis. It is one of the few games I own that is cart only.7. I said Sonic was faster than Knuckles in the video. This was perhaps the wrong way to describe that. Sonic has a larger jump which I always felt made him feel quicker in the air. As someone pointed out in the comments, Sonic and Knuckles run at the same speed, otherwise.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. I used the Xbox Series X for this footage. 2. The comparison used Supermodel, the PC emulator. 3. I had numerous issues making this. Because I captured so long, it appears that my HD60X decided to overheat and include a number of graphical glitches in the footage. I had nearly 4 hours of total gameplay, but only about half that as usable video. You will catch a moment of that corruption during Sonic The Fighters. 4. Daytona 2 Battle on the Edge remains an unported gem. That first track is still my favorite in that game. 5. If you are a newbie, try using the black hard car with the automatic transmission until you get used to the tracks. Then slowly practice your manual transmission on the first track until you get a feel for the braking.
Sega CD - The Sports Games Sega Lord X 2023-12-05 | This one is for you Sega die hards that loved 16-bit sports games.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. The vast majority of the capture here was done with a mix of real hardware and the Mega SG/SD. I did use emulation for some of the WWF Rage in the Cage segment. The Mega SD just kept failing to load the match. 2. If I knew the game well and played it a lot, I used the simulation mode for a few of these. That's where the CPU plays itself. It helped with capture time. Most of these did not, however. 3. The Sega CD was truly awful at FMV. That low color count just made everything look so much worse than it should have. 4. Honestly, after playing these, I kind of just wish Sega had ported all their cartridge sports series with better sound effects. At this point, that would have been infinitely better than what we got. 5. I really was ready to write off NFL Football Trivia Challenge. So much so that I didn't even realize I had chosen the Bears in the setup screen. You'll notice that when I score.

Check out the Sega Genesis Classics compilation for the Xbox One, Switch, and PS4 for easy access to ESWAT. 4. There were also ports/conversions of the arcade to home computers of the time. 5. Sega never did touch upon the ESWAT story or gameplay again. No ESWAT 2 or any meaningful spinoffs. 6. You can find the arcade version on the Astro City Mini if you are so inclined to want that version.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Kai provided the game for review. I was not paid to review it. 2. This was captured from the Mega SG. 3. Easy will give you a partial ending. Normal and higher will give you an extra stage, boss, and the full ending - complete with full frontal nudity. 4. In some ways, I found the Contra mode to be the easiest way to play this. Especially after you know the stages well. 5. Kai believes that a digital ROM option devalues their work. They want the full fat physical experience with their titles.6. I didn't think many of you cared, but this is based on a release for the MSX computer from a few years back. It's enhanced here in every way. Stage layouts and boss battles are different. The gameplay is also much faster.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. All the Sega Rally Revo/3 games running on real hardware. Nothing is emulated. Even Sega Rally 3 is running the full PC based code.2. I used the PC version of Revo for all the footage of that game. If you look closely, you'll see the frame hitching. 3. Teknoparrot will also play other Sega arcade games that were PC based. 4. The PSP version of Revo really does have some brutal load times. Upwards of 30 seconds in some cases. I used a component cable for the capture. 5. Sega Rally Online Arcade is running on the PS3 for this footage. I have no clue if it does it on the Xbox 360, but here there is slowdown and frame tearing at various times. 6. I did not show the GBA or N-Gage Sega Rally games because, well, they aren't very good. 7. I felt the title worked in many ways. Sega Rally in general is mostly forgotten today, Sega Rally Revo and its spin offs are forgotten, and Sega itself has fallen from its perch as a dominant arcade maker.
Worst 2D to 3D Video Game Series Sega Lord X 2023-11-16 | Last time we went over what I thought were the very best 2D game series, to ever jump to 3D polygons. This week we look at that in reverse.

This footage was an absolute nightmare to record. I despise some of these games, and the 30-60 minutes I put in some of them was excruciating. 3. Sonic Adventure was never going to be part of this episode. While I do agree it has aged rather poorly, it by no means should be on a worst of list. 4. Castlevania 64 goes down as one of my biggest letdowns ever. 5. Metal Slug 3D was never released outside of Japan. I guess even the people that made it knew it was garbage. 6. Bubsy 3D wasn't the last of the polygon games in that series. More were done just a few years ago for modern platforms.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Most of what you see here is captured from real hardware. A few arcade games are MAME footage. 2. After Burner Climax is the PS3 version. 3. Outrun 2 is the 360 Online version. 4. Many of these have modern, or at least more modern, releases other than their original console versions. 5. After Bruner did have a game called Sky Target appear in 3D, but that was more a spinoff than a direct sequel. 6. To date, I believe the only thing that saved the N64 from being a massive failure, was Nintendo's first party games.7. I needed to use the GTA3 footage carefully. There are so many copyright pitfalls with that title, I had to be quite picky. It's why I ended it with a cinematic.8. Final Fantasy VII was considered for this episode. One of my considerations was not just that the game have polygon elements to its visuals but that the gameplay itself takes advantage of the 3D world. Final Fantasy VII is mostly played with polygon characters against 2D backdrops. I felt Shining Force III was a much better example of a real jump to 3D.
Lets Save the Sega Saturn! Sega Lord X 2023-11-05 | If you could change some things about the Sega Saturn, what would they be? Part Q&A segment and part wish fulfillment, I take a look at the things I think could have made a big difference in the life of the Saturn. I'm now on Patreon!

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Redesigning things into one VDP would have been complicated, which is why I pushed the launch back a year. It would have been more complex than simply mixing VDP 2's abilities in, as the Saturn Control Unit also housed the DSP, which I want moved directly into the new VDP and have its own cache of memory to work with. 2. This path likely would have changed many of the Saturn releases you know, and in some cases, love. No change would come without sacrifice. 3. You'll notice I put a larger emphasis on Sega of America moving over well known IPs from the Genesis. This is an important part of the plan because I believe a big issue with Saturn was its lack of connection to previous Sega properties. 4. One SH-2 could perhaps be seen as too slow, but I do not believe so. With the DSP directly assisting our new VDP, we should actually see some improvement in polygon rendering. The Master/Slave setup of the original SH-2 design was hamstrung by a single shared bus, so I feel any extra power afforded the Saturn due to this setup only helped the most talented developers programming in Assembly. We need a console accessible by all developers and one CPU accomplishes this. 5. You may ask why not go deeper. Why not go into the later life of the Saturn with changes. I felt I didn't need to because these changes would have put things on a path to a library that was already incredible. Saturn's games in 96 and 97 would have begot more sequels and the better sales would have secured more 3rd party support. 6. Videos like these are for the sake of conversation. In no way do I feel this would have been an easy fight, nor do I begrudge the folks who originally handled it. Business can be tough and there are often roadblocks and circumstances that completely derail you. Reality is always significantly harder to succeed in.7. The diagram that was used for the Saturn's architecture was created by Rodrigo Copetti.He has some cool write ups about it and other consoles. copetti.org/writings/consoles/sega-saturn

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Captured on the Mega SG. 2. Though this was the final 2D game in the series, there was a 3D reboot in 2010. It was not well received. 3. This game can be tough. To see the better ending, I'd say the hardest in the series by a mile. 4. Should you do well enough on time, you can access the "Strange Zone". This is an area that allows you to score some extra lives. There are different Strange Zones and they have different monsters in them. Some are easy while some are very difficult. 5. There are a number of different endings. Those passwords really come in handy when trying to see them all.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Captures come from both real hardware and my NES Classic. I did use MESEN for the light gun games. 2. I really tried to look at things on a much larger scale than just my personal favorites, but it is still a list of my own preferences. Have fun with it. 3. I honestly can't recall exactly what happened to my original NES. It was most definitely sold to fund something else. I'd say given the timeline, it was either my Sega CD or Turbo CD that caused me to sell it.4. There is no run 'n' gun section because most of the games that I considered easily fit into other genres. There are a handful but they all pretty much pale in comparison next to Contra and Super C. For this reason, I didn't want a winner by merit of simply existing.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Captured on the Mega SG. 2. Music from real hardware.3. While I have defeated this long ago, it frustrated me so badly for this review I stopped playing it on stage 6-2. The cheapness of the enemies wore down my patience. 4. There were other versions of Dick Tracy made for various consoles and computers. All of them were different from this. 5. The movie itself was not a huge hit. While Disney advertised it hard that year, it pretty much just broke even. A big letdown after the success of Batman.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Everything here was captured on real hardware except Batman for the Lynx and Batman The Animated Series for the Gameboy. 2. Other good Batman games would be Batman Returns for the Master System and Sega CD. They just missed the very best category.3. Yes, I do consider Batman Forever from Acclaim to be that bad. Awful beat'em up with terrible balancing issues and F tier visuals. 4. Batman Arkham Knight was a good game as well but I prefer the first two games in that series. 5. I have always thought that Batman would make an excellent RPG. Give it realtime combat and a comic book story and it'd have a ton of potential.6. Batman Returns for the SNES was a great game but it needed a 2 player mode. Not sure who could have been the second player - perhaps they could have simply done a different colored Batman. 7. You'll be amused to see that among the worst games, Acclaim is yet again a heavy contributor. That company really did suck a lot of the time.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. All Saturn footage from real hardware.2. Arcade footage from MAME.3. This game still looks and plays remarkably well. I ended up with 3 hours of capture footage I played it so long past what I needed for the review. 4. This was released before both the 1MB and 4MB RAM carts. 5. I think this showed that even without the RAM carts, the Saturn could have done Vampire Savior and Zero 3 quite well on its own. 6. The PAL release supposedly has additional settings for color customizations. I've never played it to see it for myself. 7. The load times are quite short. You might expect them to be awful but the Saturn actually handles this area far better than you may think. 8. There are also extra turbo settings hidden away via a code. They make the game so fast it's damn near unplayable.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. All games captured from real hardware. 2. I supported the PlayStation all the way up until the PS2 launched. 3. NFL GameDay remained the platforms most popular NFL title until around 2001 when Madden began to pass it in sales and quality. 4. Symphony of the Night and Resident Evil saw ports to the Saturn, but I played them far more on the PlayStation. 5. I don't feel the Saturn would have had any real trouble doing any of these games had a strong developer been attached to them, but as something like Symphony of the Night indicated, that would not have always been the case. 6. The PlayStation was on the market and supported with new releases for more than a decade. It's longevity was unreal considering this was Sony's first console attempt.

SLX Logo By: Jan NevesYouTube Page - youtube.com/user/Jan3dIntro by Evan S.portfolio.tsestudios.comEpisode Notes:1. Capture from the Mega SD. 2. A-Wave did a number of fishing games including Sea Bass Fishing from the ST-V Titan/Saturn. 3. T's Music Co. did the sound for the Sega CD version. They did a number of soundtracks for Sega over the years and across numerous platforms. High-profile examples include Sakura Wars, Space Channel 5, and Blood Will Tell. 4. This was included on the Sega Genesis Mini 2.5. The color hack for this doesn't lessen the grainy look but does bring it more in line with the arcade colors. 6. I can only assume that this port is the reason why Sega did not make an original Streets of Rage for the Sega CD.
