Wow, this game looks pretty interesting. I wouldn't mind picking it up for the Genesis (actually Mega Drive now as my Genesis is a bit messed up and it's in the US.) I check the site out and it says available from $69 which is a bit pricey, but I'd still pay that. Click the link and yeah both reprints are "sold out"...I wonder if they'll do another reprint.

I wouldn't mind the 360 or pc/Mac version, but I'd prefer the Genesis version. $500 for the kickstarter reward of a Genesis edition is way too much for a game I've never played before. A Saturn version would be great, but that's probably a pain to program for, haha. I never was much of a Dreamcast fan, as SOA killed off my favorite Saturn too early to bring out the DC.

The Genesis original prints can go for a $500 on ebay, easy.

As one Sega Saturn fan to another, get yourself a Dreamcast. Sega didn't kill off the Saturn early just to launch the Dreamcast. They launched the Dreamcast to save the company from loses Sony caused them. The same thing early death happened to the Dreamcast thanks to Sony once again. I love my Saturn, but I can honestly say the Dreamcast is the cream of the crop. Do yourself a favor and enjoy it's many wonderfull games.

Growing up as a Nintendo fan, Sega never really interested me. I played some Genesis games at my friends' houses, but that was about it. Saturn and Dreamcast were never on my radar.

I've since bought both, plus a ton of games for each system. But I regret not supporting Sega when I was younger. After playing games like Shining Force, Panzer Dragoon, and SoulCalibur, I realize how much I was missing.

I guess I just wish Sega was still in the hardware business.

Yeah we can't have everything, especialy as kids. My gaming early life went Atari 2600 -> 7800  -> Gameboy -> Genesis -> NES -> Saturn -> SNES -> PS -> N64 -> Dreamcast and so on and so on. The Gameboy and the N64 were the only Nintendo machines I had while they were still alive. I  bought the NES and SNES froma  friend when he was trying to fund his N64 purchase. The Gameboy was the first system I bought new with my own money and the Dreamcast was the first system I stood in line for and bought on launch day.

My first gaming experience was the Atari 2600 and a friends house and it was years before I convinced my parents to get me a video game system. It ended up being an Atari 7800 even though the NES had been out for years.

I feel luck to have grown up sampling games of all different kinds. Sega has always been a favorite of mine because their games have always taken so many risks. Some times those risk dont' pay off, but when they do they are truely great.

Damn I want a Dreamcast 2.

I do have a Dreamcast. I picked one up on clearance with 2 games for about $50 in 2001 (I think.) I'll take the Saturn and Genesis over it anyday. Even my Game Gear was better. The only competition it might have is with my 32X... (Even then the 32X controller was better as I could still use the Genesis 6-button controller with it.)

Sorry to insert myself into this conversation, but I have to take issue with this. Game Gear? Better than Dreamcast?

I had a lot of fun with my Game Gear back in the day, I can't really say the same about the Dreamcast. I had some fun playing a few games with my friend, but that controller isn't very good, for fighting games I'll stick with my Saturn and it's much superior controller. I even bought some Game Gear games on my 3DS VC, good memories of playing back then.

Well I ended up going for the digital download PC/Mac/Linux version (over the 360 version.) That way I can play it on either my desktop (pc) or on my macbook air.

I also found somebody selling a new copy of the reprint edition for Genesis/Mega Drive, which is the version I'd like to play, on an auction site here in Japan for a starting price that's not too unreasonable. I put in a bid, so I'll have to wait a few days to see if I win it. The HD version is also in case I don't win it, so I can still play the game.

I am not getting this at all. It does not look interesting.

I have it on the Mega Drive.
I might pick it up for the Dreamcast.

Where did you get it?

I remember when a Dream Cast game sold like 20k in Japan back in 2007!

If you were really serious about fighting game you could have bought a fighting stick for the DC. It had a very good one.
