Any multiplayer?

4 player local/online co-op

Oh damn, guess I'll be picking this up

pretty fun, but it would be better if it was just better pixel art based on the original. There's lots of jankiness to the visuals and its hard to tell how fast your character moves compared to the enemies, where in the original game you could tell what you could outrun and what you couldn't.

Also football players are bullshit

BRRRAAAAAAAAPPPP

Sega is a prime example of how Japanese sensibilities can destroy a company. Reggie was good at creating a balance. We'll see how Nintendo of America keeps it's mettle now that he's gone.

why would you play a game called toejam

yea... my favorite game is butt crusties and ear wax

Fun game

what exactly do you do in this game?

you try to find elevators to go up levels and some levels require you to find a space ship part. you collect all 10 ship parts and you win.

Sega of Japan really had nothing to do with the original ToeJam and Earl though. It was all Sega of America. Toejam and Earl was develoiped by an American developer that called themselves ToeJam & Earl Productions Inc.. The group was founded by people who formerly worked at EA. Sega of America game the developers a shot because they thought it would be something interesting. It turns out the game didn't sell as well as they have hoped for and told the devs to make a platformer for the sequel. ToeJam and Earl 3 was originally being developed for the Sega Dreamcast by the TJ&E team and Visual Concepts. The Dreamcast game really was like the original, but in 3D:

But the Dreamcast was killed early and the game was moved over to the Xbox and dumbed down.

It is a lot like the first game, though. Way more than the second.

What was "dumbed down" about the Xbox version? I played it a lot back when it was new and it didn't seem any "dumber" than what's in that video.

It's real piece of _fun

Maybe not so much "dumbed down" but there is a lot more padding added to the Xbox version. The Dreamcast game was much closer to the first, with no HUB world, no cut scenes, no bosses, minigames or keys. The Xbox version tried to be a little more accessible for younger audiences.

> While ToeJam & Earl 3 eventually made its way onto the original Xbox in 2003, the Dreamcast version never saw the light of day and according to ZakhooiTM, it's a lot different than its commercial build. "The version on the devkit is more like the original on the megadrive but then in 3D," the hacker explained. "So no bosses, gates, keys, mini-games and hub connected world. Also no cutscenes, you just begin at the begin of the map and go to the elevator then can go to the next level."

>with no HUB world, no cut scenes, no bosses, minigames or keys
I mean, a lot of that can be attributed to being a beta. The DC version wasn't finished.

Sega of Japan had the axe to swing. They actually resented the success of the Genesis in America and let go of it's CEO out of pure resentment.

What's the hook of this game?

>The DC version wasn't finished.

Even the developers said they wanted the Dreamcast game to be just like the Genesis original. But jumping to the Xbox made them change things. That was the whole point of the Back into the Groove kickstarter. To finally make a proper sequel to the original. Which was what TJ&E 3 was meant to be.

If they just fix this shit the game could be so much better

I mean, they got Bowser running NoA now. Who would be crazy enough to try and stop him?

I bet you missed out on the greatness that is Boogerman too.

I put ten hours into the beta they did awhile ago and this build seems to be pretty much the same thing with some fixes + the unlockable characters. It's fun, especially once you get the randomized hard mode (which should be the default). The online was buggy as shit though and it doesn't seem like they fixed it much.

The Xbox version is still very similar to the original. Having more content doesn't make it worse.

Meme's aside, he might be good for the company.
Just don't resent the success of your American subsidiaries. Aren't we supposed to be friends?
Don't do a Sega. I saw Nintendo do it when they took Metroid away from Retro.

Jeese, are you really that petty? It was good but, don't give it to team ninja what the fuck is wrong with you?

>Hiring a guy because his last name is Bowser

They're screwed

Not sure that's why, but.....he seems alright.

Bowser was an EA exec from 2007-2015.

He may have been hired to more easily exact lawsuits over piracy. Not my concern, but we'll see how it goes. Definitely not somebody to hire for better games.

>The Xbox version is still very similar to the original. Having more content doesn't make it worse.

It still has similarities to the Dreamcast prototype, but the gameplay was broken up a bit more in the final Xbox release. It was people at Visual Concepts who thought it would be a good idea, while the original TJ&E designer was a bit unsure and still wanted a rouge-like like the original. I actually liked the Xbox game quite a bit. It is good. But it is a little more streamlined. I like Panic on Funkytron too, despite being a different game.

>don't give it to team ninja
this was before Itagaki left and before those who remained proved themselves to be utterly incompetent
Inf fact, Other M *was* that initial proof.

>University of Utah
Is he mormon?

At most he's an ex-mormon, but it's most likely that he's just a fan of skiiing and went to a university near a good skiing location. His social media has references to alcohol, he only has two children, and his daughter did not get married in a temple. Nothing besides the university he went to indicates that he was ever mormon.

Almost certainly. Be careful of anyone from Utah. Those women will open their legs all the way to the church until you thin joseph smith was a prophet. We're extremely weary of them in Montana and that's probably half the basis for Far Cry 5.

We call one community of them "Pinies" which is very similar to "peggies."
