Revenge of Shinobi had the junkyard boss where you fought "Arnold" who started to turn green as he got damaged then turned into the Terminator. And as someone else noted, 2 versions, one with spiderman/batman and another with spiderman/bat demon-ish but not batman guy. I think they changed the godzilla boss too.

Awesome, makes more sense.

I promised i would be back with more cool Sega poo poo, so here it is you nintendweebs!

now I know you've all probably heard of that crappy monochrome (lol) handheld that for some reason sold so well (pokemon) but did you also know that Sega had a way cooler, better handheld device? Yeah, they did! It was called the GAME GEAR and it kicked major rear end. The screen lit up so you could play it in the dark and it was in color. So way better than the Gayboy that Nintendorks had.



This badboy had super cool audio too and the colors were amazing. It even had a contrast control so you can choose just how many color rays your eyes would get (hint, a lot). And this device only had to take three AA batteries on each side. So yeah, that's six in total but the gameboy took four so that's only two extra, idiot. And back in the 90s everyone had rechargeable batteries too so its not like you ever had to buy any either. But if you were a stupid jerk that didnt have rechargeable batteries then you could opt to enlist for the help of the Turbo Twins. This was TWO battery packs that gave your GAME GEAR even longer battery life so you could play sweet games like Sonic Chaos on the go for longer. Not only that but they made the console look cooler, tool, like it's flying or something.



The other cool thing they made for the GAME GEAR was the television tuner adaptor. That's right, you could watch TV on your GAME GEAR so you didnt have to talk to other people at family weddings etc. As usual they followed the black color theme so it looked right in place when you plugged it in and they even remembered to write 'color' on it so you could boast to your friends that you had a portable tv in your jeans pocket but didnt want to turn it onto show them because it'd just make them jealous. It also meant you could watch your own cartoons in the morning when you stupid sister wanted to watch my little pony and stuff.



much like the Power Base Converter we discussed before (which let you play Master System games on your Megadrive/Genesis) there was also one for the GAME GEAR too!! All you had to do was buy it and plug it in, then plug your master system game into it. It was like having TWO consoles in ONE and it was PORTABLE. did nintendo have that? no, they didnt because they wanted you to buy all of their crappy consoles instead of winning with money and value



i know what else you're thinking too. what if the screen is too small because of my small eyes? well just like nintendo they made a screen magnifier! And just like the nintendo one, it was horrible and gave you motion sickness without moving but hey they made it so gently caress you.



for portable storage and easy access you could also get the 3rd party Handy Gear! It was a little briefcase thing but with buttons on the outside so you could play without removing it. Yeah it looked goofy...



but not as goofy as this loving thing, the Handy Boy, which is just as gay as it sounds.



i guess what i'm trying to get at here is that sega rules and nintendon't, losers :cool:

I had a friend with a Game Gear and he played it plugged into the wall most of the time because the thing had like an hour of battery life. Maybe 2 hours if he turned the brightness way down. It was comical having this behemoth handheld that sucked down batteries like nothing next to a comparatively svelte Game Boy with like 15 hours of battery life.

I remember keeping my batteries for my Gameboy and Game Gear (my adult brother bought and regretted) for trips and used the wall charger to get most of my time in on these devices.

Once the game boy rechargeable died completely, a new problem arose, which was always present with my Game Gear. If the power jack was adjusted in any way, there would be an immediate power loss.

I lost a fair few hours of Pokemon to moving a fraction of an inch. Fortunately, I only had lovely Game Gear games.

I wanted the TV tuner and a Nomad like crazy.

the gameboy was around for 9 years before gameboy color came out. 9 years. color palette of 4 shades of grey
i can forgive game gear for not having amazing battery life. even though i have no idea what games it had im sure those games were rendered in higher better than 4 shades of grey

I had one of those controllers with a "slow-mo" setting on it. It basically just spammed the start button to pause the game, and it sounded the best with this.

The Game Gear costs about a dollar an hour to operate on batteries lol

Also there were a few games that were literally impossible to beat without the wall outlet adapter

The Game Gear was a good idea, putting a master system into a handheld

it was not at all an idea for its time, though

Your move, creep.



quote:

In Japan, Sega released the Mega Jet, a portable version of the Mega Drive for use on Japan Airlines flights. The Mega Jet requires a connection to a television screen and a power source, and so outside of airline flights can only be used in cars equipped with a television set and cigarette lighter receptacle. On planes, the Mega Jet was connected into armrest monitors. It had a limited consumer release in Japanese department stores in 1994, but did not see success.

I fully admit I bought the Genesis refresh only because it looked great. Still prefered SNES though because 256 colours was brutal even back then.

Also bought the 32X and didn't regret it because I played all the Virtua games then sold it before the hype died.

Then I bought the Saturn... That was super dumb
