TouchGen - SEGA’s Genesis ports continue, but this is more virtual insanity than virtual fighting…
They are tricky games to review, these SEGA Genesis (Megadrive) games, as essentially they are direct emulations of the original rom, running within an iOS wrapper.
Sega is set to bring some of its most loved franchises to film and TV! It has just been announced that Stories International, the production arm of Sega in a joint venture with Hakuhodo DY Group, is going to partner up with Circle of Confusion to produce adaptations of Sega’s hugely popular video games Altered Beast and Streets of Rage for film and television as well as several other hit franchises.
Annoying that they would create a Streets of Rage series but not another game. Granted, a new game would never live up to the expectations of the fans but it would still be nice to see.
So many great titles to choose from. How about Space Harrier or Altered Beasts?!
Virtua Fighter was a staple in Arcade’s in the mid-90’s, and found a great following on the Saturn and Dreamcast as well during the prime of the series. Another version of Virtua Fighter was released quietly on the Sega Genesis however, and it seems like time has forgotten this game. Is it worth checking out though? Let’s find out!

Oh saturn, how I love thee! I still have a black UK spec console that was chipped by CEX to play games from any region..also has a 50/60Hz switch...and my white limited edition JDM saturn. Both still work perfectly and I will NEVER sell them or the games I have amassed for them. The saturn versions of capcom fighting games are still the best to this day, imo.
