what, no love for Afterburner, Outrun, space Harrier or Hang On!? It would've been cool to have Altered Beast or Moonwalker characters... On the Nintendo side, no one loves ROB... Don't mention Startropics...
Maybe the Alex Kidd character was killed, which is why they need a hero like Gear/Gia/Sonic to step up and turn the tides.
There has to be more characters for them to use for sega. I mean where is Nights or Earthworm Jim
Sonic was huge boost for Sega and MD/Gen's PR worldwide, including Japan. There's no ignoring Sonic when pop god Michael Jackson helps endorse it. You're right there was never really a battle between SFC and MD in Japan, but Sonic put Sega on the map... in the console space. Anyone who's ever walked past the tons of arcades littering Japan's streets know that Sega is nearly synonymous with arcade games. So it's not like Sega were a bunch of nobodies. I'm just guessing that the creators of this manga/anime always heard how heated the Sega/Nintendo console wars were internationally, even though it was all Nintendo domestically.
I think Opul is supposed to be Popful Mail. it even looks like her (red hair, elf ears, shoulder pads) I hope this anime doesn't forget to throw in some Thunder Force references
Now, when we say 'slash'... does the Lord want slicing, men cramming other men, or men cramming other men whilst slicing each other? Men cramming other men whilst we do the slicing? Your orders are to vague, my liege! Crap it, just everybody cram whilst stabbing someone with a knife! That way it gets done!
Eh. Kinda sad. It's bad enough when everything is a bad remake of a book or another movie. We don't need bad remakes of...video game console wars. Next will be a series of YA novels based on a Coke/Pepsi taste test.
BOO-URNS! I don't see Johnny Turbo anywheres... He would had bet up both Ninterudo and Segua (Feka), then be put in jail for assault.A betting that they bot deserve! So come back when you have news of a Johnny Turbo manga!
I am betting they are going for the classic 'five man band'. Of the top of my head, I am guessing Gia is The Hero, Opul is The Big Guy(well, girl), Neru is The Chick, Teji is the Lancer, and Ramses as The Smart Guy(again, girl, but you get the idea).
I guess that there aren't many Segua characters because as the series opens, Segua is supposed to be near defeat. You can't have a lineup of Shinobis and Striders and Kage-Marus on the ropes from the beginning... that'd make them look weak. I'm guessing they'll pop up in later episodes. I also guess that's why good ol' sexist Japan made the non-newcomer, non-hired gun Segua characters all women... to make them look weak in the beginning.
The origin manga is fucking crazy, like, FFF quality. Tails Sonic and Opal are siblings, tails gets killed off in like chapter 1 Donkey Long is a Dirty Old Man and EVERYONE gets perved on.
Look at the L-block earing and l block bo staff. (Not to mention the faux- Russian name)
It's a me a Marxio! In socient russia, box punch YOU! Seriously these guys must have hated Nintendo. They made Mario frikkin' STALIN!
Billy Hatcher wouldn't have been around for the console wars anyway. Also, I'm not sold on that one guy being Tetris. Look at that light arcing around him. That's not like any Tetris I've ever seen.
Which one plays the guy who represents how Nintendo would wait for every iteration of a Sega system and then whip off an improved version that would screw Sega nine ways from Sunday? Or is that too abstract a basis for a character?
Yes Rob; THIS is awesome, a shitty, amateurish musical about the fail that is Magic the Gathering is not ;) Still love you though, thanks for reporting on obscure shit most of us would miss while writing witty comments to lull us in. Thanks to you and you alone I have have visited TR daily for the last 4-5 years, keep up the good work. - (I didn't really mean to sound like a total douchebag suck-up in front of my fellow nerd brethren, just a tad bit drunk and somewhere along the line I realized that even though I usually come off as something of a cunt, I love this oasis of nerdery where Rob is the shining beacon dragging us in.)
The word, "Consume", when I read it in the context of anime, is very easy to imagine as consomme. That makes me oogy as it brings to mind the threat of moe characters with various "milky" fluids all over them as a result of battle damage to their hyper-stylized powersuits taking damage. Though this makes me wonder if this property is related to that odd JRPG from...NIS, a year ago, something Neptunia: More Creepy Moe Menu Navigating.
Needs more Altered Beasts... And if they are going to have Mario and Luigi then Sonic needs Tails or Knuckles. I'd say Ecco the Dolphin would be awesome, some Shenmue, maybe House of the Dead zombies, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, ToeJam & Earl, Vectorman, Super Monkey Ball, Shinobi, the OutRun Ferrari, GunStar Heroes, etc.
Hahahaha this is so pathetic. They couldn't even think of the other Sega characters. No Gillius, Beat, Ai-Ai, Billy Hatcher or Ryo? Fucking Tetris and Columns? I hope whoever makes this gets sued horribly by Nintendo.
And WHY is this anime treating Nintendo as the bad guys? It's not like Sega started making consoles because of Nintendo or anything.
Nothing can ever make up for Eiken. And I blame Media Blasters for even propping up that monstrous little hentai doujin-but-with-far-less-dignity-and-actual-fucking.
japanese character designs seem so dull and generic these days where as they really use to excite me when anime first started getting big in the 90s
Neru could be Nights, and Ramses could be Ristar. Seriously, this needs to have Nights, Ristar, Alex Kidd and Ecco... Then again, Sega itself seems to have forgoten them. I think I saw a page of the manga once, and there was a Donkey Kong equivalent. At first I feared that Carwai was Amy Rose, but she seems to be with the Nintendo characters. If she is Kirby... does that mean she will eat other characters?
So no Shinobi for Segua? Seriously? You'd think that'd be a huge slam dunk for this sort of thing.
So long as it stays away from the moe pandering of the Neptunia series, this could be interesting.
Actually, Sega brought to the arcades one and there was a Master System conversion. After that Nintendo locked up the console rights. It's definitely a minor part of the Tetris franchise, but Sega thought it was important enough to devote a Sega Ages collection to it for some reason: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/segaages/segaages8.htm
I don't know what makes me feel worse: that this is a real thing, or the fact that I feel outraged at the choices of the Sega characters vs. the Nintendo ones (Tetris? Columns? Seriously?)
Actually, no. Not according to US Tax Law. Mutants are not people. I reffer you to the NPR Radiolab story on Mutant Rights. http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2011/dec/22/mutant-rights/
It looks like the Segua side is greatly outnumbered and outclassed but when the two sides do fight, the Segua empire is able to make their enemies bleed and die, while the Ninterudo guys are only able to sweat on their enemies.It's a pretty hefty advantage really.
you know, in a perfect world, all of the FFF would be personified by magical japenese school girls and they'd go after rob while riding flying panties. JAPAN GET ON IT!!!
