Well, it is now thanks to City Connection who was once Jaleco. Big respect towards them preserving especially Sega Saturn games like Cotton 2/Boomerang and this one! I own this game on my PS5 btw, imported from Japan mind you which I bought on Playasia. Hope something like Bulk Slash or Blast Wind/Hyper Duel or Steam Hearts (censored) is next.
I.. I feel so.. so.. BETRAYED! Here I've been, patiently waiting for you to add this playthru to your Assault Suit Series... and its been sitting on your channel since 2014 XD
I wanted to redo it to try to get A-ranks on all the levels, but I can't figure out for the life of me what the conditions are to score A's in the early levels. I kept trying up until about three days before the Saturn's 22nd anniversary, and then I had to shift gears to start getting the translated videos out. I may come back to Leynos 2 eventually though.
Bangcat As far as I know, it's just a PS4 exclusive sadly. Dracue, the company behind the new Leynos game, does have a similar 2D mech game on Steam already. It's called "Gunhound EX." It's 80% off for the next 24 hours. May want to check it out. :)
Saturn Memories Oh believe me, I know. A PSP title that got a second chance at life with the return of mecha titles growing. Another similar to the style on steam is Gigantic Army and I nudged another company to put their tittle BAD Battle Armor Division on greenlight could use your voting to get it in. I'm quite the fan of the style and actively seek out the likes. I'm also one of those people who know that Front Mission evolved wasn't the first to break away from turn based formula being that Front Mission's second game was actually also sharing developmental style with the Assault Suit games and to this day I think remains the longest in hours of play of it's kind. Right now all I ask is as many of them get US launches as possible, be it PC or any of the current consoles or handhelds. I was happy to hear that the Leynos re imagining was taking a lil more time in development to incorporate a co op mode. I've been privy to some of the game play footage already and can tell you it's including some physics play like Intrusion 2, also on steam. I'm really looking forward to it.
+Bangcat I am 100% for the resurgence of these types of games. I have tried my best to play every one i can find. Leynos2 has the best art as far as I am concerned. Front Mission 2 Gunhazard is a nice, late SNES title with very similar gameplay and RPG elements. I would love to make a game like this.
If you find more feel free to share. The best modern one that made it west is Gunhound on STEAM. There are a couple others that are sort of similar, like the zero G combat salvage game of cryptark.
Bangcat I had a very odd one that i got for like 3 dollars from staples back in like, 1998. I think it was called Iron Blood? I remember being very underwhelmed by it but then again my PC was not the best. Just did a quick search and found out that its actually a Korean game with the KR title of "Interrupt" The game allowed you to pick from 2 different machines. The art seems to be knock offs of both the Assault Suit series, Armored Warriors and Power Dolls. The red mech plays like the assault suit games and the blue mech played more like the Genocide2 style of running ninja melee mech. I am actually very curious about this trend of early 90s mecha character action games that featured a huge mechanized vehicle that could only use a short range melee weapon. There are more of these games than you think. Genocide2 was ported to the Super Famicom and has rad box art.
There's gotta be a name for this type of mech sidescrollling/multidirectional shooting game. We've got Assault Suit Leynos/Target Earth, Assault Suit Valken/Cybernator, Metal Warriors, Front Mission: Gun Hazard, Wolf Fang... I'm sure there's others but that's enough for a sub-genre righter there.
Armed Hunter Gunhound EX is also really good. More on the arcade side of gameplay but it manages to be a unique experience. Very fast pace once you get the hang of it.
Hello! Do you mind if I use 10-20 seconds of your gameplay footage in a video I'm doing for my channel Unsung Game Creators? We're featuring the company Tamtax. I can credit your channel in the video.
No matter how many times I play, I can't seem to earn better ranks for better weapons. Can I replay missions after clearing the game to earn weapons? This is the SEGA Saturn version (no emulator) by the way.
It's all about limiting the damage you take. And, yes, you can do subsequent playthroughs with all the weapons and mechs you acquired on your last playthrough.
There's also a a game called ''Gigantic Army'' for PC,which is very similar to Cybernator.According to the devs,they took direct inspiration for it. It's on Steam for 5,99 fun little game.
Saturn Memories Never really knew how to get all the suits up to this day... BTW I can't understand the descriptions up there...emulator 1080p HD... On what and how do you record these Sega Saturn gameplays? Thanks.
peterpansyndrome94 I use SSF 0.12 beta R3 (there is a newer version, but it's buggy) to emulate the games and OBS to record them. SSF does not scale the internal resolution, but the games are being recorded at 1080p.
Well it would still have some stiff competition with the PSX, but if more of the Japanese library had been released in the West it could have given gamers who were not into the early 3D console games at the time alternatives.
Somehow I’ve come to the same conclusion, though also with some cultural factors involved, maybe we were just not ready in the west for the Saturn awesomeness.
@@TheMinchio I think at the time a lot of Sega people probably thought that really Japanese favorite genres and series simply would not sell in the West like for example the fantasy SRPGs As I mentioned in my own post. Sega probably also thought that it wasn't worth it to bring most of the 2D games to the West, probably convinced that what the audience wanted most were 3D games.
@@TheDutchGhost Yes, executives in the west didn’t see a market for it, but also the video game audience was less mature in the west, plus the cultural differences (the Saturn games can be very Japanese oriented), and maybe the west was not ready for it back then, from the top executives chain all the way down to the final consumers.
@@TheMinchio That is a possibility I had not considered but I could see it being valid. But we are ready now and a lot of Saturn games are still worth playing, yet no official translations and ports are announced. I think costs and return probably plays a big role and maybe also some of the companies that originally made/published these games no longer being around. But it is still disappointing that we still can't play these games.
I swear, why can't we get games like this in the United States, filled with mecha and giant robots? We never get Super Robot Taisen, We never get this game or any other mecha game that comes out of Japan. So here is the question- Does Japan think we are a bunch of stupid idiots for only liking cartoons, and superheroes instead of anime and mecha?
Jeremy M Doubt it, It is just a matter of taste for both countries. Mechas are such a huge part of Japanese fiction while in America Its the same for Superheroes. Not many mecha games are available in the U.S. due to the fact that they wouldn't even sell well. It doesnt make one better than the other.
Well it's 5 years later but it's not Japan's fault, it's the American companies' fault. They decide what gets ported here. But I agree that we need more mecha games.
+TITAN-UP FX (TUFX) The original Assault Suit Leynos is Target Earth. Leynos 2 probably would have been called Target Earth 2 had it come out in the West. Assault Suits Valken (Cybernator) was spun off from the Leynos series. It's not a sequel.
Nick Chandra Not really. The menus are pretty self-explanatory (e.g., MG is a machine gun, MSL is a missile launcher, NPM stands for napalm which is your flamethrower, etc.). It's a very accessible import for someone not familiar with Japanese. If you do get stuck, you can either refer to this video or consult the helpful FAQ on GameFAQs. Happy gaming!
Awesome, thanks for the response. I must say, your channel is awesome. I have a Sega Saturn and I have put it away for a long time, after Sega of America's abysmal handling of the console. Now, after seeing channels like yours, I am working on bringing it back to life. Thanks for showing your dedication to this console! Cheers and happy gaming to your, as well.
Nick Chandra No problem! It's always neat to hear this sorta stuff from people like you. There are so many great games for the Saturn that never made their way out of Japan, and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun playing them. :)
Google Translate, better yet, use Google Lens with the translate option. I played Dungeons and Dragons on the Saturn with it to understand the Japanese :P

my brother was totally hooked on this.. another classic.. I miss my saturn😣
Give the Leynos remake a try. It's on Steam and PS4. Has elements from all the Assault Suit games. Very fun!
Thanks I will
@@SaturnMemories Really I will try it on PS Now
Jogo magnifico!!
Me lembra o METAL WARRIORS do SNES.
Mechs in space...SPACE. What more could you possibly ask for?!
This game is like Ranger-X on Genesis, I like it.
i was thinkin the same thing.. lol
And it's a sequel to another Genesis game, Target Earth
Why in the fuck was this not released in the WEST!? It just boggles my mind why we didn't get this.
It's now out in English in the Saturn Tribute lineup and it RULES
@@Zeether77 AYO!?!?!??!?!??

@Jameson Travis definitely, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
Holy Fuck, This Game Is running so fast, with so little Slowdown. I MUST HAVE THIS GAME!!
It's a great game! Definitely worth owning. :)
A near-perfect game in my opinion. It'd be great if it has an arcade style score board.
Looking forward to the remake of the first game that's now being worked on for the PS4, hoping for a steam release too.

Sure, go for it!
Thank you!@@SaturnMemories
I got this on PS4 and it looks damn good, graphics are up to par
Is the sequel also in the PS4? As far as I know a remake of the first game was released in the PS4, not the sequel.
@@KronnangDunn thay guy is a moron. This is only on the Saturn. The original game got a cheap 3D side-scrolling update on the PS4.
I want to play Assault Suit Leynos 2 too! but did you play via emulator or real console?
For the video, I used SSF. Might work in Mednafen as well though. Definitely doesn't work in Yabause.
+Saturn Memories so SSF is easy to use uoyabause, right?
No, lol. Follow these directions. www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=225897393&postcount=14884
+Saturn Memories oh! very thank you! (≧▽≦)
Target Earth II
I had a different ending...My ending was I burned up while floating towards the sun
No matter how many times I play, I can't seem to earn better ranks for better weapons. Can I replay missions after clearing the game to earn weapons? This is the SEGA Saturn version (no emulator) by the way.
It's all about limiting the damage you take. And, yes, you can do subsequent playthroughs with all the weapons and mechs you acquired on your last playthrough.
Saturn Memories // Heh. OK thanks. I'll try that again (my Saturn is in the mothball room at the moment).
i'll be playin this on the Series X in the near future.. lol..
holyshit. Cybernator 2 ??
There's also a a game called ''Gigantic Army'' for PC,which is very similar to Cybernator.According to the devs,they took direct inspiration for it. It's on Steam for 5,99 fun little game.
These games are set in the samer universe
Did you ever get the full roster of suits?
peterpansyndrome94 Not sure. I always preferred the main suit over any of the others, so I never made it a goal.

Thanks for the info ^_^
Cotton and Silhouette Mirage were fun games too.
Have you gotten this game to run on yabause?
Wanna know why the Saturn failed in the states.. The people behind it period. Because it sure wasn't the console at fault. End of.
SEGA!!!

@@SaturnMemories Actually Assault Suit Valken is a prequel to Assault Suit Leynos, taking place around a decade before the events of ASL.

WTF !?!?
VL VIDEOS English menus in Japanese games. It happens more often than you'd think.
Nearly every single import game has the same formula.
Saturn Memories Yeah, I always find that to be a bit annoying - since they CLEARLY know how to speak English.
Looks more like Valken than Leynos
It's part of the same series. Valken is a prequel to Leynos.
I bet this game look good on a crt
How am I supposed to get whatever the f*ck they are saying?
