I can see why this didn't sell well. The marketing sucked with this failure of an actor describing the game.

In what venue was this originally aired? A video game show?  Was it for investors?

huh

This vid is funny lol.I remember seeing this game in EGM and Gamefan Magazine in 1995 and thought it look interesting.I never bought it cause my focus had shift to upcoming next Gen consoles the PS1,Saturn and N64(called Ultra 64 at that time).And the PS1and the Saturn was just around the corner as far as release date.I don`t think this game sold well at all.And if it did`nt,i believe its because it was overshadowed by the upcoming next gen consoles.imma buy the game.Great upload BTW.

Thank you, Grooveraider for uploading all these rare videos. They really make you understand how awesome and different gaming was back in the day.

also let me add to my previous comment,

this is basically a rip off samurai shodown. which came out in 1993 for the neo geo console

[mazdaplz]

this game looks pretty bad, if anything better than world heroes, but that's not saying a lot; however visual concepts company made some very good games as well.

for example clay fighter, desert and jungle strike, early madden nfl and the whole 2k series of sports by sega!

I remember this thing was so hyped. It was crap to put it nicely.

How did this game not do well against Mortal Kombat?

[Grooveraider]

@Gamepopper101 - Mortal Kombat was widely known as a

controversial coin-op before hitting the home consoles. By the time Weaponlord

released the Sony Playstation was already on the market with a near perfect conversion

of the coin-op hit Mortal Kombat 3.

[SCBianchi]

@Grooveraider So was this game considered any good? Do people recognize it nowadays? 

[akumie]

SEGA had so bad commercials on the sega cd and somewhat on sega genesis
