Just one questions....


When is the last time Data East has released a really good game?

Maybe Karate Champ in 1984... Oh yeah, there was Fighter's HIstory, but
that was just a complete rip-off of Street Fighter. I'd much rather have
another company supporting Saturn, Data East has proved nothing to me in
the past.

Yea! Data East is to Saturn's Rescue! No thanks to SOA. I was talking
to an associate from Data East and I was told of the following releases
for the Saturn:

2 Sports Games, 1 Football and 1 Baseball (developed by Blue Sky...they
made World Series Baseball series as well as College Football National
Championship, Joe Montana Football series, Ren & Stimpy, Jurassic Park...
)

Minesesota Fats Pool Legend - To be released very early August Hopefully.


Defcon 5 - looks Awesome!!!!

Creature Shock - the very popular PC-CD version gets Upgraded!!

Dark Sun Shattered Lands - This RPG will waste anything out there!

Dark Legend - If I am right, this is the freakin' awesome fighting game
from the Sega Titan Arcade game. If not, I'm wrong.


All these titles you should be seeing very soon!! Data East is giving
Saturn it's fullest attention. All of the above games will rock the
gaming community. Be sure to put your name on the waiting list for these
games at your nearest game store!! Data East Rulz! SOA sux till we get
some gamez from them;-)

I dunno, I thought Fighter's History Dynamite for Neo-Geo was an excellent
fighter. But just seeing pics of Tattoo Assassins made me laugh my ass
off. I see why it was cancelled. :)

Excuse Me Nate! I dont think you have to be so verbal. Besides, the 32
bit arena is giving all of us licensees a chance. Wait till you see. We
have completely reorganized over here. Our product is really looking up
now. We are using hot developers, Blue Sky, Argonaut, Millennium.
Take a look at the Saturn box, we are on it. Sega is really pulling for
this title. Why dont you give us a chance. I think you might be in for
the surprise of your life.

Argonaut, I beleive they made the Starfox game on the SNES. They also
developed numerous titles for the Amiga line of computers, all with silky
smooth animation. (I think they developed Birds of Prey published by EA)

Millenium is also a well known developer. They also develop for the PC
and Amiga line of computers. All I can think of is James Pond (I think).
Maybe Diggers.

You are right, they did do all of those. Argonaut is also the developer
responsible for the creation of the fx chip. I guess all I can say is
you'd all be better off waiting until you see the product before you make
any snap judgements regarding them. I guarantee you will like what you
see!!!!

Alright... so why don't you tell us WHEN we'll be seeing all of these
"great" games... (10 to 1 we get some ambiguous response like "really
