Looks like they absolutely nailed the color palette on Batman Returns, I especially dig the pink and purple hues, reminds me a bit of The Adventures of Batman and Robin on the Genesis.
I just want to own a GF1 Neptune to have on a shelf. As a person who felt for that EGM Neptune April Fools prank and was *EXTREMELY PISSED* , buying one will make my gaming life complete.
Things for my wish list and definitely want are the Neptune , Earthion , and Batman Returns for my Mega Drive looks awesome and two players wow thank god for those’d talented Brazil Pyron Dev and many others
I’m so happy we’re getting the Konami version of Bat Man returns. What a dream come true, SLX I wish you an abundance of success, happiness, and blessings in 2025 and beyond.
@ classic shmup on SNES. I didn’t have a snes coming up, I definitely had a Sega Genesis. However I had a friend with a snes and I absolutely loved Earth Defense Force.
Happy holidays Sega Lord X, I hope your 2024 was great and I’ve definitely enjoyed your content and I’m currently going through some personal issues but your channel is taking my mind off of my own personal troubles and thank you for providing some great videos in 2024 and also for being one of the few channels flying the flag for Sega and Long Bay that continue into 2025 and beyond.
We now know Sega and Capcom can now run/emulate their Naomi games now, I hope we can get a Naomi collection with games like Toy Fighter and Slashout in the future without going through the hassle of setting up Naomi emulation
over the last few years i have noticed a major popularity in classic graphics look in modern games! It seems like AAA developers are struggling, but Indie developers and smaller studios who are focusing on the "classic look" seem to be way more popular these days! I can say over the last few years the games i have been playing have mostly been of the indie type and with the classic look!!!! great video!!!
Wow! What an awesome video! It's like turning on the 6:00 news but it's all Sega related news in the gaming media with Segalord as the anchor and reporter. The GF Neptune and that gorgeous Batman Returns was the icing on the cake for me in this video followed closely by Earthion. Was wondering what Pyron had been up to as of late as he went quiet over the last two years, now we know. So many talented game makers in the community, (Pyron, Lord HiRyu, Master LinKuei, BillyTimeGames!) and many others. Merry Christmas my lord and may you and your fabulous family have a happy new year! 👍
Amazing, informative, fun.... just one of the best SLX videos. Fantastic as ever! Now to get some sort of Genesis Advent Calendar for Batman Returns MD...lol
Thanks again for another excellent year of content and we’re looking forward to many more! I hope you get affiliate money from those 8bitdo links as I’m grabbing a pit of those M30 pads that I didn’t know existed until this video! Merry Xmas!
Thanks for this, i need to pick up some of these new games for PGX Convention next year, especially Batman Returns, i think the public would love playing these games and it brings more attention to the public that these old systems still are getting new games.
I've been keeping my eye on the GF1 Neptune project. That would be a great way to get the tower of power without the actual tower and less cables. As for Kirito, that might be getting added to my need to play list. Great content this year @segalordx
Its kinda neat that new stuff is being made for these classic consoles. I still have my coleco vision, nes, genesis, playstation. I need an old tv so i can fire up the coleco and play some zaxxon, defender, dk, mr do, ladybug and such, miss those days...
Another great video. You touched on the 32x a little bit. What I reckon they should have done is with the sega Saturn is made it 32x compatible with that cartridge slot. At 1st glance when the Saturn came out I thought and so many of my friends thought that the cartridge slot that the Saturn had was going to be 32x compatibility but that was not the case. I wonder if sega at the time was considering it. Would have been so much better in the long run I reckon.
Konami Batman Returns on Sega Genesis, but better than the SNES version? Don't threaten me with a good time. I have a copy for SNES but I absolutely have to get in on this. I thoroughly enjoy it on SNES.
Regarding the delisting of SEGA classics, I've also heard it theorized that it was to prepare for some kind of new collection. I just hope it's not some kind of subscription service.
If it's another sub service, they'll find themselves disappointed. These games have been put out way too many times for the nickel-and-dime nonsense, even without the sheer ubiquity of emulation.
@@SegaLordX Hopefully Sega sees sense and releases new, amazing collections instead of trying the cynical service route. The stuff Digital Eclipse is doing with their histoy-packed collections, for example. I have all sorts of emulation and other collections from back in the day, but I'd pay for something with insight from the creators and the decision makers of the various eras.
I hope they offer proper dithering shaders. Once you realize what it looks like on a CRT / with shaders you'll never want to put up with checkerboard patterns in classic games again!
@@SomeOrangeCat I played the heck out of the Snes version when it came out, but this new version looks much better and like I said Sega Genesis is my favorite console.
While the Saturn may be a cult classic, it's the console that ultimately undermined confidence in their console business with both customers and distributors. Soo... maybe not ;-)
Damn, If I hadn't already preordered 8bitdo's NES keyboard with the number pad then I would've gotten the Saturn version. The delisting of any titles annoys me to no end. So I hope they have brand new versions in the works. Some of those releases were the only way you could legally own them on modern platforms.
Concerning the delistings: I just highly doubt Sega will provide something better than the ports and emulation options they were giving us with the delisted titles. Or something that can possibly beat being able to open a folder on your PC and being able to use the Genesis ROMs however you wished. Or won't take this opportunity to greatly increase the price. Which could be justified (to a point) if the port quality is really, really well done, but, again, I have my doubts. But even if they somehow check all the boxes, I'd have still preferred just getting access to these older versions when you buy the newer versions, which is possibly the most consumer friendly way to do this apart from just having both on sale. Which could still happen, technically, but looking at how Sega handled this, that seem rather unlikely. But, I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Next step: Modify the Sega CD Batman Returns. Replace the platform levels with Batman Returns MD. Those platform levels + the Sega CD driving levels = ultimate 16-bit Batman game. This should be relatively trivial to do.
Can't wait for the Neptune. If Doom 32X Resurrection is any indication, we're in for some very fine games harnassing the full potential of both systems working together. Would love to see the 3DO Mortal Kombat 2 dev try UMK3 or MK Trilogy on Neptune. Even if the music isn't arcade perfect, the rest of the sound should be along with the graphics. Would be cool to see Netherrealm Studios get behind production of revamped versions of old games
Batman Returns is way beyond what the SNES is capable of doing: 1) high resolution (actually benefits gameplay), 2) 9 enemies on screen + 2 players (would slow down to a crawl on SNES due to its weak CPU).
SuperSega is lying through their teeth about Sega telling them to pull it. They realized they tried to screw potential customers and they are why gamers get a bad rep.
100%. No company cares about FPGA versions of their old consoles. If they did Nintendo would be shutting down Analog especially since they just launched their N64 FPGA console the Analog 3D. They tried to run a scam like the Coleco Chameleon and got busted.
I have the NES version of that keyboard but I wish I had gotten the C64 version because it really reminds me of that. It's been a great keyboard so far though!
the Arcade Edition of Earthion: does that mean it's going to be in Arcades only? Or is that another version / mode that will be available on consoles? Or both?
I've always felt that the only bad thing about Snes Batman Returns is that it's a single player game. Every beat'em should have at least two players Co op play. I hope they rectify that in the Genesis version.. I've always hoped that someone would create a hack for 2 players for the snes. Edit: Holy crap. As soon as I made my comment, the video showed two batmans on screen at the same time! My wish came true!! 😊
Brazilian SEGA fans making every SEGA fan happy, including fellow Brazilian ones like myself. This has been a heartwarming episode.
Indeed, in the late 80's to mid 90's SEGA was very influential here, thanks to Tec Toy as well.
That Batman returns theme sound so bad ass on the Genesis sound chips
Better than the parpy muffled trumpet nonsense on the SNES version though.
Som péssimo
Thanks for filling up the year with great content mate, Merry Christmas from the land Down Under
Cheers, mate! Merry Christmas back at you.
Well, Batman Returns IS a Christmas movie so a 12/25 release date does make sense.
Here's what doesn't make sense: Two player. The dual Batman thing just breaks the immersion for me right away.
Merry Christmas Sega Lord X! Thanks for the great work you’ve done for the gaming community.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the wrap up. It's hard to keep up with retro news like this, so I appreciate finding it all in one place.
I love these Sega NEWS wrap up you put out, really helps in keeping up with current events. 👍
Great vid, Mel. Thanks for an excellent year of content. Looking forward to another year with ya, dude. Cheers!
Appreciate the support!

The two-play co-op in Batman looks awesome. Although, they should've had Alfred as a playable option.
Makes more sense than Batman's best friend, Batman!
Bat-Mite!
This was great and I hope you do news wrap ups more often. Nobody else does them so it's a great void to fill. :)
That Batman.....😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Hoooly Moooly!! Large sprite, many enemies on screen, no slowdown ,and no flicker? good lord!! Sega....❤
Great video, and thank you for keeping our retro flame burning bright! Merry Christmas, SLX!
Thank you for all the awesome content this year ❤🎉!! merry Christmas from Toronto Canada🍻
I’m so happy we’re getting the Konami version of Bat Man returns. What a dream come true, SLX I wish you an abundance of success, happiness, and blessings in 2025 and beyond.
Loved this episode - loved the whole sort of 'State of the Union/Sega going ons' type of format. Should do more of these 🙂
That Batman Returns reveal trailer for the Sega Genesis of all things... is "french's kiss". I can't wait for it to arrive!
Happy holidays!
Great content all year man ! Let's hope SEGA is making a console to dominate the retro market. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone !!
We can dream.
You mean the way Amico Holdings LLC was going to?
Earthian kinda reminds me of EDF. Looks great.
*EDF MENTIONED* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣

We now know Sega and Capcom can now run/emulate their Naomi games now, I hope we can get a Naomi collection with games like Toy Fighter and Slashout in the future without going through the hassle of setting up Naomi emulation
Agreed, I’d definitely love toy fighter, or a spike out collection that includes slash out, and spike out battle.
That Batman game looks AMAZING! Thanks for having such a great channel!
Thanks for what you do man. Happy whatever holidays you do too.
Thanks for the great content SegaLordX! Happy holidays from, The Hague, Netherlands.
Same to you!
Same to you Lord X. That Batman returns on the Genesis looks super sweet
Thanks dude! Proncess crown was why I got a saturn in the first place! Great news. Happy holidays to you!
So glad to finish off 2024 with a Sega banger, Sonic 3!!!!!

Great content this year @segalordx
Happy Holidays man! Best to you and loved ones.
I'm seein' double! FOUR Batmans!
Enjoyed this episode there is so much happening across the Sega platforms it’s hard to keep track of
Amazing video, is nice that keep bringing us such great content.
I love my 8bitdo controllers...just got a fresh PS1 style in this evening...
Batman Returns MD really surprised me, I haven't heard anything about this project until now.
6:18 DAMN that song is kickin!! ❤❤ Ill be honest I was thinking about TETRIS the whole tome 😅❤
Batman Returns MD comes tomorrow!! Yeahhhh
Supersega lore is insane
Thank you for featuring Sovietborgs! If things go well, a KS campaing is coming around February :)
Its kinda neat that new stuff is being made for these classic consoles. I still have my coleco vision, nes, genesis, playstation. I need an old tv so i can fire up the coleco and play some zaxxon, defender, dk, mr do, ladybug and such, miss those days...
Great video. I did that side scrolling shoot em up.
Ride the tiger from Cf2 as background music. Nice

New Virtua fighter & Ninja Gaiden game in the works, hell yeah 💪

Probably a collection or multiple collections. If it’s subscription based, they better provide some incredible value for the money.

I hope they offer proper dithering shaders. Once you realize what it looks like on a CRT / with shaders you'll never want to put up with checkerboard patterns in classic games again!
Princess Crown Translation is the best news ever
Merry Christmas.
Seeing Batman returns on Sega Genesis is just like a dream that I tough I'll never experience in my life, it's a true Christmas miracle!.
You really waited over thirty years for a port of a SNES game?
@@SomeOrangeCat I played the heck out of the Snes version when it came out, but this new version looks much better and like I said Sega Genesis is my favorite console.
Damn, that Batman trailer is hype!
Am I right in thinking the only people not celebrating the Saturn’s 30th Anniversary are Sega themselves? Quite the contrast to Sony’s celebration.
While the Saturn may be a cult classic, it's the console that ultimately undermined confidence in their console business with both customers and distributors.
Soo... maybe not ;-)
It's like Game Sack but with Sega Lord X. What's not to like?
Damn, If I hadn't already preordered 8bitdo's NES keyboard with the number pad then I would've gotten the Saturn version.
The delisting of any titles annoys me to no end. So I hope they have brand new versions in the works. Some of those releases were the only way you could legally own them on modern platforms.
They made Batman Returns 2-player!! 🥳
Love this new thing , keep it going
I love Batman returns I still have that original game on the snes I used to play it all the time never beat it though just got to Batmobile part
Sega Lord X delivers the news
Great Stuff, as always.
Thanks, appreciate you watching!
@ no problem!
Awesome! 🙌🏻
I highly recommend the 8bitdo Bluetooth controllers. I have two black ones and they are great when playing Street Fighter vs X-men

I dare say the Genesis / MD version of Batman looks better than the SNES version.
Next step: Modify the Sega CD Batman Returns. Replace the platform levels with Batman Returns MD. Those platform levels + the Sega CD driving levels = ultimate 16-bit Batman game. This should be relatively trivial to do.
I agree
how awesome would it be if p2 batman was blue and grey?
Can't wait for the Neptune. If Doom 32X Resurrection is any indication, we're in for some very fine games harnassing the full potential of both systems working together.

How do you buy the batman returns game? Sounds epic!
It's free on Xmas day.
i love sega up to including satyurn
Sega, please bring us the new versions of all the forgotten IP gems you promised us.
Cool
Awesomeness video please do more thanks slx👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Patience isnt the order of the day, sailing the 7 seas is the order.
Saturn Mini!
Happy Federal Holiday #11 to you, too!
7:45 this is why I love emulation
Thank yoy for one great video. Can you inform us how we can pre-order or buy the new Batman returns (MD) game?
13:43 I dunno about 2 Batmans in the 2 player mode. Kinda weird. Otherwise kick ass!
13:39 ❤😂😂 😅 love it LOL

I disagree. De-listing classics and ordering SuperSega to halt production both point to Sega having something cooking in the kitchen.
Its pronounced *'8BitDOH'* not *' Do'* lmao 🤣 and thanks for everything SLX...merry New Year 💯💯💯🗣️💯
I thought he says "Doh". 1:28
I have the NES version of that keyboard but I wish I had gotten the C64 version because it really reminds me of that.
It's been a great keyboard so far though!
Yeah, I'm really loving it. It's really well made and quite comfortable.
This is better than PS State of Play or Nintendo Direct
the Arcade Edition of Earthion: does that mean it's going to be in Arcades only? Or is that another version / mode that will be available on consoles?
Or both?
