**** off. A good 70% of their "glorious history" is fondly looked back on, but objectively uttery tripe.
"Wise fwom your gwave", indeed.
So very wrong, didnt Sega pioneer both 3d racers and fighters? As well as numerous hardware accessories (VMU, analogue pad) FFS if SEGA hadnt have been here the world would have been a much duller and darker place.
Sega brought a lot of joy to the games industry through the arcade and on the home consoles. I wish they were bought out or pumped full of money and could give us the games we really crave rather than having to bring out crappy games plus crappy sonic games every few years. Shenmue 3 is not feasible anymore, but surely they could bring out a limited run of comics or anything detailing how the story finishes. Its far too late to resurrect it now, they would have to rebrand the whole franchise and try to make it appeal to the mass market.
Indeed? The invention of a memory card with a screen is an absolutely pivotal invention which is still in use today.
Oh, wait. No it's not. Because it was strawberry floating stupid :/
And most of your other comments are plain wrong. (Off the top of my head,
Hard Drivin' by Atari significantly predates any of Sega's 3D racing games. Analogue controls were actually pretty common in the arcade market too, not to mention analogue joysticks being widely common for PC sim games, too
I'm not sure about the 3D fighting game claim, but it's seriously arguably whether "being 3D" actually offers any significant advantage in the one on one fighter genre.
In conclusion: SEGA - you suck.
