The problem with this post is that you're applying american logic to Japan.

Japan already had a tons of female protagonist by mid 80's, and they weren't "for girls", they were for everyone. Only in America kids would think "if the MC is a girl then it's a game for girls, I'm not touching this gay shit!"

I unironically picked female characters just for the hell of it. In SMB2, Peach was a popular pick for her ability to float. I wasn't so insecure as to not pick her just because she was a girl. And similarly when Adventures of Lolo 3 came out, I thought it was pretty cool that Lala was finally out of captivity and was now a playable character, so I definitely played as her a few times. As a side note, when you finish the tutorial place with her, it refers to her as a "heroine", which was the first time I learned of that word. When Paperboy 2 came out on the Super NES I was surprised to see they included a Papergirl character, so I picked her a few times just for the hell of it too.

Admittedly, I remember when Perfect Dark was coming out, seeing a lot of complaints online (mostly AOL) about the main character being female, which kinda confused me when pic related had come out just a few years earlier and these same guys loved it.

Valis series has a lot of charm and featured a cast of sexy anime ladies as playable characters at a time when they were rare. The anime cutscenes were also great. But the games themselves weren't as good as the Castlevania series, at least the ones for Sega and Nintendo consoles. Haven't played the PC Engine games, maybe they're amazing, but even if that were the case, we would be talking about an inconsistent series.

I remember kids back then playing with Chun Li, they didn't think she was a character just for girls. But for the most part you're probably right, Chun-li was just one character in a game with a large cast.
Western companies would also avoid exporting games with heroines or they would just make them disappear. For example, at the end of the Japanese NES version or Life Force/Salamander it is revealed that the pilot of the ship was actually a girl. She disappeared from western versions. There was also snes game about a girl with a magical vacuum cleaner. When they brought the game here it became a Jetsons game where you played as the father.
Tomb Raider, along with the popularity of the girls from FF7 or DOA, probably helped people accept that heroines don't equal games only for girls.

Resident Evil 1. Jill is better than Chris in every way imaginable and her campaign's a lot easier since Barry shows-up to give her cool shit and bail her out of most predicaments while Rebecca is a bumbling retard that can barely do anything to help Chris.

The Jetsons game actually came before it was rebranded as Yokai Buster the following year. It's one of the few odd games where the western version came first. Something similar happened with Pandemonium! and a few other games I can't remember atm

They aren't. Valis 1 is a remake of Valis 1 for the PC88. It brings the game up from pure kusoge to "bare minimum to be called mediocre". Valis 2 is what it is. A mediocre late 80s action platformer. If it were released in the 90s on the SNES or something it would be well below average. Valis 3 is the same game as the Genesis, but with more levels and worse balance. Honestly probably better on Genesis. 4 is better than the SNES game, but the SNES game sucks, so once again, that's raising to the level of mediocrity.

>Genesis pants
Was the Mega Drive being rebranded as the Genesis in the West common knowledge in Japan? The only examples I can really think of where Japan acknowledged Western marketing was the Tuff E Nuff boxart appearing in Game Tengoku and the various references to Bad Box Art Mega Man from over the years, but even the latter of those examples is from the age of the internet.

there are other great pc engine games but its not these. Valis 1 is the best of the series and its a B- at best

fausette armor is a lazy rushed late gen pce release. pce CD had a bunch of these weird unique games that were late cycle and rushed hard. others include gotzendiener, reny blaster, kaze kiri and strider

play legendary axe instead, both of them shit on all the valis games

They got a ton of mileage out of the Rondo enemies. I think the werewolf boss shows up as a normal enemy in every single 2D Castlevania game afterwards.

i think that the joke is that he isn't japanese by him buying a mega drive, that's the reason he buys an american hat while is still being geekish.

i'm reminded of a TTRPG story of a guy who got traumatized by a bunch of sex perverts and played female characters in as a way of filtering out those people. the story sounded a little fake because he'd ALWAYS find someone who was aggressively horny enough to make him want leave a group. he eventually wound up in an all girl WoW guild thinking they wouldn't be sex perverts. they ended up being bigger sex perverts that the people he played with in the past.

which kinda confused me when pic related had come out just a few years earlier and these same guys loved it.
people also apparently complained about uncharted being tomb raider with a guy. i think it has more to do with a trickle down. tomb raider and uncharted are clearly influenced by indiana jones (which was influenced by old adventure novels/comics & pulp serials) but lara was different enough to stand out on her own.

a similar logic could be applied to perfect dark which was essentially "goldeneye 2 but we couldn't get the rights to james bond again".
