Well, given that Sega's remakes are up to spec generally - take Daytona USA 2001, Christmas NiGHTS, Guardian Heroes Advance etc - I normally wouldnt have a problem. I just see it as being in the middle of creating a great universe with loads of fun characters, then chucking it all away and saying 'no, it's really Sonic all along no humans Super Sonic in regular levels lol'. Unless it's set in the past on South Island, of course, in which case this post is moot.

I don't trust Sega one bit after the remake of Shining Force. But there it is again. I'm biased.

But Guardian Heroes Advance wasn't even touched by SEGA... it's by Treasure - complete video game geniuses!

What exactly was it that made you hate it?
I don't see any problem with what they added, but then again. . .I never played the original.

But the original didn't stop this fan from enjoying the remake so much

The way that the storyline was fucked, Mawlock and his stupid cards, Zuika on his own was pretty iritating, and of course I was more used to the old graphics. Also I didn't like Max talking. I probably wouldn't have minded it quite so much if he didn't mostly repeat everything Nova said making himself sound like an retard. And who can take the "losing his voice" part seriously?

IM THE ONLY ONE WHO VOTED FOR SHINOBI!!! :evil:

WTF!!!!!

Man Shinobi is great

It's not that we think Shinobi is bad, we just think it's woefully inadequate compared to other options.

I never used the cards,
I barely used Zukia,
Graphics shouldn't make a difference,
Talking protagonists shouldn't be treated as master wordsmiths.


I didn't pay much attention to the plot aside from the premise. But from what little that I did notice, such as the 'chicken' sequence and overtly predictable runefaust dialouges, your complaints about the plot could be valid.

Where's SHINING FORCE in this list? The list needs to be changed. Some of the games chosen has only had one or two entries and doesn't consitute a franchise or series at all. NIGHTS only had one proper game accompined with bonus games while proper series like HOUSE OF THE DEAD and GOLDEN AXE are proven franchises and had more than two games in the whole series are completely left out.

The thing is as the difficulty in the game progresses you're practically forced to use the cards and overpowered people like Zuika it kind of ruins the aspect of picking your force. Graphics shouldn't make a difference, but I'm just noting that I prefer the Genesis ones, and talking protagonists should sound like they have some intelligence. And the plot was wrecked beyond words.

shinobi, not only for sega but for all video games thats my favorite video game franchise, i guess you can call me a shinobi "fanboy", but i dont really like legions or the ps2 game so maby not.

This poll has some serious problems. Daytona does not constitute as a series. Neither do NiGHTS or Jet Set Radio. They basically had one or two installment and a maybe a variation. It's like if Virtua Racing was on the list.

Also, the poll severely lacks Shining Force as other people have mentioned.

Virtua Racing is one thing, but how do NiGHTS and Daytona not count as a series of games?

NiGHTS had NiGHTS and NiGHTS Journey of Dreams. Only two games, but the first game had such a recognizable character that appeared in a lot of other SEGA games that it really can be considered a series of games.

Daytona on the other hand had Daytona, Daytona 2 (arcades only), Daytona CCE, Daytona 2001, and that might've been it, unless you count that new arcade game without the Daytona license. Really, that definitely is a series of games.

Oh man, I'm the only one who voted for Daytona!

That was a tough one.

1. Sonic
2. Shenmue/ Phantasy Star/ Panzer Dragoon
