Ah, Sega... it's sad to think that if only they didn't spend most of their existence being incredibly fucking stupid, they'd likely be at the top of the industry by now.

all they had to do was turn phantasy star into AAA

Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 were the peak of Sega design philosophy

i didn't own any Sega stuff as a kid. never been a sonic fan, probably never will be. but i've really grown to like what these guys have become, especially since Atlus is under their banner. i want that new Shinobi game to do well so they actually continue to revisit their dormant IP

Imagine if Dreamcast had a DVD drive

Sega is late to everything and when they do get to whatever's trending they try to spin it in a way that fucks the whole thing, much like modern SQEX. Credit to them, however, for they were actually early to walking simulator movie games with Shenmue

Try out Shinobi 3 on the Genesis, it's pure kino and has some of the best graphics and music of that generation.

Imagine if this game actually had content and meaningful updates.

if sega gave migu or phantasy star half as much attention as sonic they would be richer than nintendo

Sega of America basically drug Sega of Japan kicking & screaming to glory, only to have SOJ royally fuck them over anyway w forcing 32x, SCD, etc onto them burning every good graces they had. Stupid Japs.

>>712853681
SoA are the ones who forced the 32x because they had fuckall coming out on the Genesis for like a year before the Saturn.

Outside of the Denuvo crap and (recently) being retarded enough to think their customers are Nintendo fan tier retarded and will pay Nintendo retard prices for crap
They're basically the only AAA game company that puts out consistently decent games.

They need to do some proper arrangements when doing stuff with miku so its not exactly sega at fault here,also they coasting on sekai bucks too much to care
pso you are right and i still dont get how the retard behind ep5 and ngs is still at the helmet

sega of america
>a bunch of ea sports games on the genesis 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
>a few games by "sonic team USA", the developer that lives in california but is 95% japanese expats
>had some pretty good marketing ideas for the genesis and the genesis exclusively

sega of japan
>responsible for creating literally every single sega IP anyone has ever given a shit about except for a few that were made by europeans instead like ecco the dolphin and football manager

I grew up with Nintendo and PlayStation because Sega stopped making consoles before I was even born but after getting around to playing them I realize Sega is legitimately just better than anything else
There is so much depth and nuance to every game they made that nothing can compare, where are the modern games with as brilliant design and direction as Crazy Taxi, Gunstar Heros, Fantasy Zone????

I like Sega's games and they are putting out some of the better games these days with New Genesis being a horrifying exception.
I'm okay with how things ended
>t. Person who was born in the 80s

in these threads since the last 20 years everybody tend to forget that sega was in every market possible in the 90s

arcade (againts capcom, namco, konami and taito)
home consoles (megadrive)
handhelds (gamegear)
proto-pc (mastersystem and that other segapc consoles or pc sega games)
pc kid (pico)
snobs try hards (32x) (nomad) and the list goes one
sibaritas (megacd)
new geneartion (saturn)

sega gets too much shit and harras by USA citizens but if you look back in perspective you have to admire SEGA for being in every market possible in the 1980s-1990s
