Not much else to add though I have questions about whether these ports will come to the West...is the West really that crazy over some over Burning Rangers, Virtual-On, or Virtua Striker? Maybe, maybe not. I would really suck if Sega released Model3 ports yet didn't bring them stateside for the same reason that I stated... :oEric4372https://www.blogger.com/profile/09095046432310137155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013533765370589846.post-27710117448426512282012-10-19T13:44:52.205-05:002012-10-19T13:44:52.205-05:00It's about time on that Model 2 collection, th...It's about time on that Model 2 collection, though like many others, I was hoping for others like Last Bronx, Sega Rally, Indy 500, Motor Raid, and as much as I doubt it, Virtua Cop and House of the Dead. But it's off to a nice start, and at least it's happening.<br /><br />Though on your point about these games offering nothing new (though you might know this now), Sonic the Fighters certainly got the most of it. Metal Sonic and Eggman are finally playable, but what I didn't see coming was seeing a complete playable Honey in her Sonic form, though I've got mixed feelings on that. It's nice to see that they finished and implemented a character that didn't make it into the final game, but I've found it nerve-racking that since her discovery, some people of the Sonic community have treated her like the beloved "lost Sonic character" with either no acknowledgement of the character she was clearly based off of, or claim that her Sonic cat form came first and her Vipers form came second, which is utter absolute complete total crap.<br /><br />I'll certainly be supporting this move (more likely on a sale), but I'm interested to see if they'll do anything new with Virtual-On, and hope that this is the beginning of something good, like Model 3 ports.<br /><br />Though personally if we get Sega Rally 2, I'd honestly hope for everything found in the Dreamcast version with the performance of the arcade version. I really don't understand the hate for the game other than it wasn't arcade perfect, though the additions in vehicles, courses and music more than made up for it IMO.<br /><br />Oh, and speaking of that, Tetsuya Mizuguchi is out of game development and is now a teacher, though he claims he'll still advise Q Entertainment and help produce games.Sestren NKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752989234869643274noreply@blogger.com
