    One of the things I loved about the Astro Boy GBA game was how it explained that Tezuka used his characters as actors in that they would fill different roles in his manga and anime releases so some of his characters could play good guys or bad guys and the game used this angle to give unique roles to the characters in the game.

    Probably the most skilled video game developers of all time.
    They achieved graphical effects on the megadrive hardly seen in other games, they got more out of the console than even Sega did lol.
    They proved particularly how capable the Saturn was and any other hardware they worked on for that matter.
    Many of their games were hard as nails but the gameplay in their games was second to none.
    They're in a class of their own.

      Does Platinum have Treasure's originality and variety? My understanding is Platinum Games just has Vanquish and Wonderful 101 and the rest are just Devil May Cry style games, right? I rather just play that McDonalds game.

      I take this back, now having played a lot of God Hand and a good portion of Wonderful 101. Those games totally stand up to Treasure's best. Still dont like Bayonetta (and Vanquish is good, but not insanely good like most Treasure games)

    • @MonsieurMaouji
      @MonsieurMaouji 2 роки тому +3

      Not really. I'd actually argue Treasure is superior for the sheer fact that nearly EVERY game they made stood out in terms of gameplay. Platinum, on the other hand primarily does character action games with the odd non-hack and slash here and there.

Though , the one I didn't have and always wanted was Alien Soldier. I couldn't get myself to pay the crazy prices, so I opted for the excellent Sega Genesis Collection on Switch. I can say now I finally have this game at least in some physical form.

    A couple more fun facts about Gunstar Heroes: Only 1 person from Sega Of America approved it coming to North America, the rest of company who played it, hated it. That Street Fighter M.Bison/Vega Dictator looking dude in the red get up was originally Hitler but Sega had Treasure changed that.
    It's funny that Treasure don't even acknowledge Light Crusader
    . When starting the game up the Treasure logo goes by so quickly and it just plain looking without the usual special effects in their other games.

    Ah, yes, I remember Dynamite Headdy. Dang that game is difficult, especially bosses like the Gatekeeper and Twin Freaks. And some of the Maruyama (the purple cat) fights. And the Astro Boy game, which I haven't played before but glad my favorite anime has a game like Omega Factor, it looked pretty good based on the playthrough videos!

      You can always save for them. When I want an expensive game, I'll take a little out of each check till I have enough. I don't get many new, triple A stuff anymore, so I just save for the special , classics I really want. Its better to have 10 games you really love and will play again and again, then have a bunch of games just collecting dust on your shelf. Almost forgot. Another thing you can do is get the most recent Sega Genesis Collection on any of the consoles. They'res a bunch of Treasure games on that. That way you can at least have their games in some physical form.

    Gun Star Heroes could've been possible on SNES with an SA1 chip which can boast over 3x the speed of the SNES and more than 2x the speed of the Genesis/Mega-Drive. But I guess Treasure didn't want to resort to that as they thought it would "cheating the hardware XD". But who knows. Some people have already made Sonic the Hedgehog run very well on SNES with no issues and no enhancement chips. So maybe if an enhancement Chip like an SA1 chip is needed, someone could try to make Gun Star Heroes work on SNES one day in the future!
