The worst thing of all is, all the magic and atmosphere is gone, it felt like a cheapened mockery, like they tried too hard or didn’t care enough. Well, at least Sega published Shiren the Wanderer on DS here, and the game is intact aside from a few… questionable… decisions in the translation and the horrible, horrible boxart.

Of course, they weren’t the developers, but when it comes to the Sega of today, a point is a point and they need all the points they can get. If any game company can score enough points for a lifetime, it’s Sega, but just because they used to be great and should be remembered fondly for such things as the Genesis, Sonic, NiGHTS, Phantasy Star, and whathave you, it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be beaten to death with harsh words for what they’re doing now.
