Is this your secret @piyoon ? 🧐 Can you share any other info?. I wonder if it's the first time someone's discovered it.

It's hard to believe that Climax Entertainment released Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, and Landstalker in the span of just 19 months.

I see takes like this all the time, but. Sega Sammy's revenue for FY2024 was ¥467 billion yen! That's much greater than in the 90s. For consumer sales: Sega did about the same this year as at its 90s peak (93 and 94). It's one of the top 5 Japanese game publishers.

This early 2D Saturn, which was designed at the end of 1991, was meant to be released earlier, be cheaper, and compete against the SNES. With the success of Virtua Racing in mid-1992, Hamada made the call to shift to polygons. Porting its arcade hits was always Sega's #1 focus.

Yes, the Saturn started out as a 2D machine, but people misunderstand the time frame. According to head Saturn designer Kazuhiko Hamada, they had incorporated polygons by mid-1992, before the PS1 had even begun official development at Sony. It was all due to Virtua Racing.
@11975MHz @TheSEGAHolic @St1ka Except the Saturn was built to be a 2D powerhouse, this was common knowledge at the time, but then Sega fans pushed historical revisionism for 20 years until the designer of the Saturn himself came out and corroborated it in interviews, ending the speculation.
