Mega Drive games you wish had come to the Genesis (US)

[17daysolderthannes]

I'd rather Sega not released it at all if they were just going to make it so limited in its release.

I know, its like "too bad, you missed it!"

I wish they would release all of the Sega Channel-only games for PS2 or something instead of ANOTHER Sonic collection we don't need.

I'd rather Sega not released it at all if they were just going to make it so limited in its release.

I'd rather Wily Wars actually be commonly gotten through a monthly service rather than a cart form that's virtually unattainable, like Final Fight: Guy.

[Rusty Venture]

I'd rather play an actual version of "Final Fight" than that fucking hack job that is "Final Fight:Guy".

"We took out Cody, and put Guy in his place!"

Nothing like getting railed up the ass by Capcom.

Eliminate Down, no contest. Since Kega came to the Mac, I've been playing all the rare and import games I know I'll never be able to afford, and that one by far tops my list. It's one of the best shooters I've played, and possibly the best for the Genesis (I have to put in some more play time to give a final judgement on that though).

No WAY am I ever paying what it goes for on eBay....

[B - Mark]

My list:
- Sonic Eraser
- Phantasy Star II Text Adventures
- Sailor Moon
- Yu Yu Hakusho Makyo Toitsusen
- Kujaku Ou 2
- Hokuto no Ken: Shin Seikimatsu Kyuseishu Densetsu
- Gleylancer
- Bare Knuckle III
- Mega Man: The Wily Wars
- Alien Soldier
- Pulseman
- Super Fantasy Zone
- Langrisser
- Puyo Puyo
- Puyo Puyo Tsu

I agree with you.

Unfortunately mega Man The Wily Wars is very hard to find.

About Final Fight Guy USA i had a doubt:

I´m Brazilian and i heard about a story this game is avaliable only for rental.

It´s true?

[Aarzak]

Yeah, FFG was a Blockbuster rental-exclusive back in 1994. On the outside, the box art and text was directly from the Japanese version, and they even added a "From Japan" sticker to make it seem foreign. On the inside however, it was a regular U.S SNES cart and the game's content was censored as was the case with the original release of SNES FF1.

Somehow, somebody got their hands on a SEALED, retail version of U.S FFG that nobody thought existed. I saw a pic of it on Digital Press.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Yeah, FF Guy is crazy rare to find. Never seen it in person myself and I've owned a lot of games in my days. Ottifants is also region locked which is not listed above. Snake Rattle N Roll is vastly improved over it's NES original so give it a try.

[Olls]

Lucky for me I have a Mega Drive.
What exclusives does the Genesis have anyway? Did you guys get any worthwhile exclusives at all?

[Zebbe]

Some good stuff not released in Europe:

Exile
Ys III
Warsong
Joe & Mac
Vectorman 2 (released in Brazil though)
Midnight Resistance
Granada (released in Brazil though)
Thunder Force III

[Waterfaller]

Probably a lot of the RPGs mentioned in these articles here, here, and here, including:

Dragon Slayer I and II
King Colossus
Maten no Soumetsu (no idea, but it sounds really interesting)
Monster World IV
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (a grrreat anime btw)
Sorcerian
Surging Aura
Yu Yu Hakusho Gaiden (another great anime)

Hey, thanks.
What about Battletoads vs. Double Dragon? Is that a Gen exclusive?
I have seen several ads of the game in some old euro game mags, but the only ROM dump is the US version.

[SegaMan89]

Yeah, I was searching for more info on that myself (I took the list of games from somewhere else) If there was a US release then it must of been very small as I've seen very little on a US version and very few instances of it on Ebay (and the only two I've seen over the last few months have both been a little dodgy sounding, ie cartridge only and mentions of "very faded" covers) whereas Ebay.co.uk has loads of copies of it.

I own a Genesis copy of The Flistones. The label is ripped badly and has tape on it but you can clearly see the Genesis logo on the cart. Wierd thing though I got it from Game Attic which rips people off HARD ($40 for Sonic 3 Cart Only REALLY!!!!!!) for only $14.95.

Yes, but it was also released in Brazil. So America exclusive .

[Mark Robert]

Was Flink ever released in the US? that's an awesome game.

I second that. It's a beautiful platformer with a very unique magic system for this genre.
