I can't speak for the game, but the title at least is terrible. Sounds like an obscure nerd TV show from the time so no wonder I've never heard of it before. Maybe I did but ignored it.

It’s not the best title that’s true

Surely an over rated legend isn't a legend at all?

Overrated doesn't mean that. For japan he was a legend, and his work in some areas were legendary elsewhere to an extent. Someone like Kojima however, not sure how he is legendary at all, at least in regards to pushing gaming forward and influence.

We'll just agree to disagree on this one.

Nope, we are at war. Straighten the tie in your avatar.

But seriously lol, back to the thread,

One part OutRun 2

I liked Outrun 2 on Xbox/Arcade and it's a shame that Sega doesn't do more with racing games now given the pretty large vaccum for arcade racers that needs filling.

Outrun 2006 was alright too, but Yu wasn't involved with that one iirc.

Kojima isn't legendary?

That's because Suzuki's games are best appreciated as 80s and 90s arcade games. Great times if someone wasted quarters in smoky arcades and pool halls and that's basically it. Miyamoto's games are best remembered as home console fun with the family where his most popular games (Mario and Zelda) are games people can replay and discover things. I bet the average gamer can have more fun and longevity with a Mario game than 10 Suzuki games combined.

It's a difference in gaming creativity and company focus. Sega games were all about flashy action packed arcade games with low replay value. Playing Super Hang On is great at the arcade in small doses. Playing that as a home port, nobody cared. Nintendo's games have always (even to this day) less about flash and tech and more about replayability.

Nintendo also PRed him so people noticed him. Even in old ass gaming mags I remember Miyamoto's name and face being plugged. Suzuki never.

You must not have read many gaming mags back in the day.
