If they just perfected this and ironed out the wrinkles instead of rushing and/or half assing it and its sequel, Vectorman might be a franchise still going today

I doubt it, it was like a Brit made game that only deserved two titles.

DKC looks like compressed ass. Besides it's a little kiddo game that was never going to last, it was trying to be Sonic "cool" without actually going there or having anything unique in gameplay to set it apart from Moblio.

I think the first game is fine, can't really speak for the second. Definitely a stronger contender than Bug! or Clockwork Knight for its time period imo despite being on technically inferior hardware

No because how many of Sega's golden age franchises are still with us getting games made today? It took them over 20 years for a new Streets of Rage to be made and they just literally handed over development to a team outside of their studios. I don't even think they published it. All what they have kept from their glory days is Sonic really because it would be retarded for them to ever get rid of that. Sega didn't know how to compete. So no Vectorman wouldn't be with us today even if they made the games better.

SoR was in a dying genre, couldn't be helped. Only those of us from the early 90s cared about beat em ups after a point, Vectorman could have easily fit in through the 90s and 00s
