japan?

A platformer based loosely on Journey to the West?
No, that would never work.

Not a one of these games was fun but apparently Euros ate it up with a spoon

It was my second game but yeah, it wasn't very good. The rock-paper-scissors boss fights were literally artificial difficulty.

>>579865
What is Japan's obsession with Rock Paper Scissors anyway? I see it used in a ton of games, usually as a bonus game or something. I know Xenogears and Kid Dracula did it, as well as more I can't think of off hand. But I know I see it a lot.

I love the game, but I'll never argue in favour of those boss battles. There was no skill involved, totally random luck.

Actually it was memorization, the pattern was always the same every time you played it

>>580031
Nope, later on they actually pick the winning hand, so you have a split second to pick what will beat that.

b-but you go east in Miracle World!

Kids play janken, therefore market to the kids.

>>580058
True. Still annoying on first go. The rest of Miracle World and Enchanted Castle are fine without RPS battles (fuck those shops in the latter though).

Honestly if my memory serves me right SEGA never pushed it as a mascot, people just perceived it as so. I might be wrong though, but I had that idea at the time.

Well yeah, the Kidd's their Crash Bandicoot. Shame that his All-Stars model gives me the creeps (and uses the inferior Enchanted Castle jumpsuit).

The one on the Sega Genesis was pretty good.

They replaced licensed characters with him and made a shitty bike game for him, that's pretty mascot-esque

i watched my friend play through these on the sega collection they released a couple years ago. they looked pretty painful to play. in the video bonuses on the collection they seemed pretty proud of their alex kidd games. what the hell was wrong with them back then.
