Akshully they planned to port Spikeout Final to it but they ran out of time so the project was moved to Xbox.

bmups were pretty much dead at that point (1999) because vs fighters killed them off.

Atomiswave exclusive Knights of Valour the Seven Whatevers is interesting in that it was co-designed by the japanese and chinese teams. Apparently the Japanese audiences didn't like inventory, item, spells and rpg elements too much so they completely removed that.
And then the same board had Demolish Fist which was ok I guess.

You can run this piece of obsolete chink trash on Demul

Question, does Spawn in the Demon's Hand count as a belt'em up? It's more of an Arena fighter but there are belt scroller elements.

The reality is that by that point public reception was already cold and indifferent. Even though I love these 3D walking beating scrollers it still felt like I had been there, done that, seen it before on playstation.

Does Canon Spike count as beam' up or a shooty shooty?

>> No.6006110

Not sure if it counts but the "Beats of Rage" homebrew series seemed to get a lot of attention, they were always releasing something new or doing some feature, I hadn't any interest in it.

Sega was too lazy to make streets of rage 4 they invested too much time,money and manpower on sports games with their 2k division instead of letting EA make the sports games

I don't know why but I really hate this game for some reason. I wrote a review of it when I was like 13 and shat on the game pretty bad.

Like for whatever reason DHA is fun but whatever element was there, Dynamite Cop shit the bed.

I think I need to play it again. I feel like I'm letting biases of a snotty child interfere with a fair judgment of it.

EA sports games are slow ass simulators where half the strat options don't do anything.
Sega games are tight, lightning fast Arcades.

Sega sports sucked this is something Sega of America knew.

It's why the original CEO of Sega of America gave EA low Publis price for their sports games he knew Sega would waste too much time on sports games which they did eventually.

It has a fair share of them considering the system short lifespan and the decadence of the genre. Ands a few of them are actually pretty fun.
