I had to convince my mom it was worth it (and necessary, immediately) to rent MK3 despite it being available on the Sega Channel because the code to unlock Smoke in my just-received Tips 'n Tricks magazine did not work on the split versions, and I had to play as him. Had to!

Even at the time I knew it was special. You couldn't save in it though, so it would be many years until I was able to play through Wily Tower.

Great video! As someone who was there for Sega Channel this was really enjoyable. Am looking forward to setting aside some time to looking at all the internal docs!

(also, where'd you order Wood and Bubble from? EE?)

Oh, I sure did forget Snake Man. I am excited for that!

I'll forever be annoyed that the line didn't take an anthology approach from the jump. drip-feed the 1&2 to keep the line juiced and include literally anything else in every wave.

A recent interview suggested it would continue but not follow "the same model of a Mega Man and two Robot Masters every wave."

My kingdom for literally anything 3-11.

Your Posting is a big reason it’s been on my list!

Turns out this was a digibash done the old-fashioned way, and somebody AI-d over it for some reason! To clarify: the original digibasher is not the loser!

Making a magenta hot rod would be the absolute easiest digibash you could possibly do. whoever made this is a huge loser.

Yeah, there are some other things that make it feel like it’s a bit pieced together from different ideas throughout its very long development.

100%. Why did they do this? What about it makes sense in a Metroid?
December 8, 2025 at 7:15 PM
Absolutely killer. Such a great era.
December 8, 2025 at 7:02 PM
I definitely love the way the game looks.

There’s special dishwasher soap. Don’t put regular soap in it!

This was on my “when I’m good enough with Japanese…” bucket list to play, so I too am very excited

They should all be weird! I’m glad the second group is more interesting than the parade of “trucks, I guess?” from the first wave.

I may be a weirdo but I watched the credits first. I noted this and appreciated it a lot!

I love the Genesis Ghostbusters game!
