New Genesis / Mega Drive RPG being released this December!

Both my SNES & Genesis are hooked up under my TV at the moment right next to my PS-2, Saturn & PSX.
I'm playing Trerranigma & Thunder Force III & much more happy with them than spending my time playing crap like Batman Begins (PS-2) or some lame FPS on the PC that you could play through it in less than 9hours!

Now if I could only find Streets of Rage 2 for the Geny, this would be some Holidays indeed!

:) isn't that true...

"modern" games are just too easy... except when multi-player of course :)

I belive the UK sold SOR2 cart works in the genesis and just plays as 'bare knuckle 2'

Well, there was only Streets of Rage 2 released in the UK, US & Japan. (Mega Drive / Genesis)
There is a Bare Knuckle 2 beta Rom easily downloadable, but the final version never saw a light of day.

However the 3rd instalment of the series, was released as "Bare Knuckles 3" in Japan (Mega Drive), where as the US & UK version was called Streets of Rage 3.
It was heavily censored compared to the Japanese version & a lot of things cut out, like the intro & a few characters like a "Gay" mid-level Boss called Ash.

Also a few of the characters are bit more “dressed” up in the western release:

Where as Blaze’s swimming suit, is bit more revelatory in the Japanese ending:

Anyways, this new “Beggar Prince” Genesis RPG is of no surprise since I have some friends at Frozen Utopia who are currently working on Neutopia III & a new RPG called Mysterious Song for the PC-Engine / TurboGrafX-16.

And then, there is also mindrec, who are developing a new Run-N-Gun, Platform Shooter for the PC-Engine called PC-Gunjin, similar to Contra & Gunstar Heroes.
