I so missed the Model 1's headphone jack, which I hooked up to a set of computer speakers. Removing that was one of the biggest complaints I had of the Genesis Model 2.
@Hipno702 Agreed! In fact, I find the whole thing almost unspeakably funny, since Sega created the Mega Drive and Genesis to take advantage of the arcade hardware. And yet, comparing the two side-by-side, it's obvious how much less powerful the Genesis was, and how much they had to actually change the games to work on it. I suppose it had to do with keeping the console affordable -- something that SNK had NO PROBLEM ignoring completely.
Hey... I think I have a premise for our Neo Geo episode.
@mistertitanic how so? i didn't mean that altered beast sucked as a game it's just highly inferior for a system that boasts its ports to be just as good
@seancool1128 Ah, well there are a couple of reasons 1) It's kind of her "thing" in her show KEEP PLAYING: Rewind, where she would intersperse the game footage with images, and eventually started inserting herself as images in the same fashion. 2) Famicom Dojo is shot and rendered in widescreen HD, and -- having neither an HD nor a widescreen camera -- we decided we would just continue with her milieu.
That is, until she gets an HD camera. Rumor has it...
Yeah graphically it culd do what nintendont but as far as having a library of games that were recognized the world over i.e. Mario Zelda etc Nintendo still beat out Sega big time...Sonic was awesome and games like shinobi and mortal kombat were iconic to the system but Nintendo still had the better edge over Sega basically forcing them out of the console market after the dreamcast due in part from Sony as well
@sonikokaruto I'm sorry you feel that way, but please try to keep your criticism constructive. Slights against the hard-working people who make this show possible make me unhappy.
@SeanOrange sorry, i didn't meant to not sound contructive, i know you all put a lot of effort on the show, but to put it in another words, uhm, i'd wish if you didn't do the still images things.
For the codec chat, it was alright, but, otherwise for the rest of the segment, it was just annoying. Sorry if i still sound as a douche.
I listen regularly to the powetcast, and i didn't knew i was a fan of toys and some other stuff you talk about.
@sonikokaruto Hey, no worries. I just want to keep it nice. :)
Glad to hear you listen to the Powetcast! Please tell your friends. ;) All of us regular panelists do videos and other series for Powet TV, and we're pretty passionate about the things we talk about.
As for the Sindra photo thing, it was a compromise (my idea) given that she doesn't have an HD camera like Vinnk and I do. If you've seen her other videos (channel Sindaemon) you'll see that the still picture bit is kind of her thing.
@SeanOrange Hey again, just to clarify, i don't think anyone would have cared if you used the lo res video :), i mean, you made it appear like a backup.
Also it would have been awesome if you pulled a japanese variety morning show style thing, where they have the face of the person talking, while a video plays on the backgrund (thus eliminating the use of the hd camera) ... just a thought.
Anyways, great work, will still continue watching, got hooked cuz of famicom dojo thou
@SeanOrange lol, yes, lots. Sorry, i'm mexican and my english sucks, probably what i meant to say i mistranslated or came out really rude, but yeah :P
@JohnnyP625 Absolutely! It is my hope and dream. We're getting there, slowly but surely. It's not a regular episode, but we'll be releasing a new Denshimail soon.
@sonikokaruto Sadly, I can't afford the better equipment Sean and Vinnk can, so I have to work within my means. That means the still shots (because my video quality is horrid). As for my being annoying to you....I can't help that.
@SeanOrange Heh, it's an AVGN quote, I think you said something in the video that made me think of it, and it's one of my favorite AVGN quotes, so I posted it. P.S. please answer my comment on "Famicom Dojo: Nintendo Has Moxie".
@SeanOrange The whole thing's been a big learning experience for me. This will be my 5th review video and my most experimental with my editing techniques. I feel I learn more and more as I go. I still have a ways to go until I work my way up to big HD projects and all, but everyone's gotta start somewhere.
Anyway, I'm seriously anxious to see what you guys have to say about the whole 16 bit genre. I think it will get interesting when then SNES comes into the picture
@sindaemon The quality of the microphone sounds good,But the problem I had was just that you sounded like you were whispering at some points. heh heh...Im actually kind of surprised that you replied. I hope I didn't offend :o
@SeanOrange Yeah I totally forgot...You guys make this out of your own free time.I not sure why I commented on something like that. OTL forgive me honorable ones!
It'd be interesting to see the current generation if Nintendo met its downfall instead of Atari or Sega. Sony wouldn't have entered the gaming business most likely and it would make room for other companies to step in.
There's also another reason why the Mega Drive was named Genesis in the US. Genesis means "Beginning". Sega wanted to begin a new era in video gaming by releasing a 16 bit console.
I'm so happy that FamiDojo is back. Good to see Vinnk again and I just subscribed to Sindra's page. I like her pissed off at Sean face. :)
really i can't see why of anyone today would still pick sega genesis over super nintendo or even the nes, Hell sonic seems to be the only thing they DID do right, I mean DID because theres no chance that any of the 3D will be as good or revered as the 2d games unlike mario that seems to have aced most every concept that mario has been applied to.
This is my opinion Any Sega pisshead that says other wise can go screw off.
Hey, Sean, love the Metal Gear Solid, bit. Classic funny though. I got to say, the Genesis was my first console, and the game that came with was the classic 16bit Sonic the Hedgehog. I bet you don't know where the Sega name came from
@PCGAMEfreak An acronym of Service Games, originally to bring coin-op arcades to US servicemen abroad in the east, but later catered the Japanese public market.
@mistyfreak As the "Legends" imply, we'll be covering the entire "Fourth Generation" (i.e. 16-bit era). Sega was the first to (successfully) challenge Nintendo's dominance.
Or was it? Hmm... I guess we'll find out in Episode 2!
Cool episode Sean! Hope you go back to Nintendo though. I bought the Genesis a couple of months ago and I think its not even close to the Super Nintendo/ Super Famicom. I hoped there was actually an episode about the Super Famicom:(
