IGN writes: "That's probably not an argument you'd want to get into, though, because if you find yourself in a debate about which version of Altered Beast to buy, then you've already made the mental mistake of deciding to buy Altered Beast -- which you shouldn't, in any form. There will be those who happily spend their 10 dollars to own this one again, remembering what it was like dropping quarters into it 20 years ago in their hometown arcade. Wanting to relive, again, the clunky combat, over-the-top transformations and poorly digitized voice clips saying "welcome to your doom."
Let those people have whatever fun they might be able to wring out of beating this dead horse one more time. If you're not an incredibly diehard nostalgic fan, though, just join me in hoping that, after this 178th reissue, Altered Beast will finally just lay down, die, and stay dead".
GameCrate: "The Sega Genesis catalogue features a long list of classics that would be great to see revived on modern platforms. Here are five Sega Genesis games that deserve the Streets of Rage 4 treatment."
Throw in Guardian Heroes. The magic and mayhem would be crazy. With Undead Hero leading the charge.

YES!
Altered Beast with cel-shaded graphics is going to be lit!
Although I think the blood would look like tomato?
This Altered Beast fan game adds a bunch of fresh and remixed ideas to an old classic and is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
You and me both. Same goes with a proper Shinobi, Shining Force, or Golden Axe release (sorry, Beast Rider). So many amazing Sega IP to choose from.
Hardcore Gamer: Fans of side-scrolling beat’em ups certainly remember Altered Beast. The 1988 Sega title was released in arcades before making its way to home consoles a short time after. It was quite popular at the time and remains a classic title. Now, Funko has announced an Altered Beast Pop! figure for dedicated collectors to obtain.
I remember Altered Beasts so fondly. It was badass changing into the werewolves, dragons, etc...
