Sonic may be autism, but fuck I used to love SEGA for their arcade games. LA machine guns and SCUD comes to mind, along with Daytona USA at the local bowling alley. They need to make more Virtua games though, and not just Fighter.
 
Is the character that looks like Lady Miss Kier from Deee-Lite a tranny? :cringe:
I think that might be a jab, GTA IV style:

If that game doesn't bomb I'm going to be disappointed. Sega is fucking trash now.
 
never played it
it's neat enough to go through a time or two if you like rhythm action games, Deee-Lite (and other retro future), or Michael Jackson
I never bothered with the sequel but I heard it was nice enough if you want more of it

but yeah one of the later stages is trippy colors while going through the alien spaceship is basically that video
 
SEGA plans to make Space Channel 5 and Comix Zone film adaptations

Thanks to the success of Paramount and SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog movies, it was only a matter of time more cinematic deals were made for other SEGA franchises to make the jump to the screen. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that SEGA has entered into a partnership with Picturestart to develop film adaptations of the Dreamcast classic Space Channel 5 and the SEGA Genesis platformer Comix Zone.


Space Channel 5 is being written by Barry Battles and Nir Paniry. Battles wrote and directed the 2012 crime comedy The Baytown Outlaws which starred Billy Bob Thornton and Eva Longoria. Paniry wrote and directed the sci-fi drama Extracted. Comix Zone, meanwhile, will be written by Mae Catt, whose credits include writing on Young Justice and the How to Train Your Dragon spinoff Dragons: The Nine Realm. She also wrote for Netflix’s Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy.

Royce Reeves-Darby and Erik Feig are overseeing the projects and will produce alongside Samie Kim Falvey. SEGA’s Toru Nakahara, who is a producer for the Sonic movies and Sonic Prime, will produce the two adaptations. SEGA game director Takumi Yoshinaga will join the team for Channel 5 and SEGA game producer Kagasei Shimomura will join the team for Comix Zone.

Comix Zone is in my top 10 for the console. I suppose this means they're working on a reboot/sequel too? It could go either way regarding that.

As for the film I can see it either being a 90's memberberry fest or a self-parody. Neither of which I imagine to be good.
