The First Official Genesis Game in 21 Years | Darius Sega Genesis Mini / MegaDrive Mini Review

The whole "I can't see sh$t" bit was hilarious, thank you for the good laugh. I like your sense of humor and how personal you make your script and opinions. I see a lot of what I do in my videos in yours as well, and it makes them unique and enjoyable. Earned yourself a subscriber. By the way, is that a Russian accent? I ask as I'm russian also and just curious.

There is more to this port than meets the eye. Glad you went so in-depth with it, but there is one aspect that every reviewer has missed so far. I will return and elaborate once I've had a chance to contact a couple sega archive sites like segaretro, and film some evidence of my findings. With how in-depth you went in this video, I think it will be of interest to you.

That "I can't see shit!" part made me laugh. Anyway well done being one of the first reviewing the game. It's surprising no big Youtubers did that indeed, as the game had a following on Youtube before it was announced it would be released officially, and commenters lamented not being able to play it. Glad to have it on my Mini though! Yes that developer is a legend, and on top of that, the use of the SGDK and the name of Stéphane Dallongeville are now part of official SEGA stuff, which is incredibly cool as a recognition of the author's efforts in the community. Now, is somebody secretly finalising R-Type??? Anyone?

You are an incredible player. There's no way I'd get anywhere in that Genesis port.

wasnt the tetris released on the mega drive mini a different game to the unreleased one?

I play Darius Gaiden on the PS2 collection, Taito Legends 2 and I genuinely love it. The sea creature inspired bosses are so up my alley, aesthetically speaking.

The Sega Mega Drive port of Darius (1987) feels so authentic that it feels exactly like how it could have been in the 1989/1990.

I know it came out last year but this game's difficulty is definitely set to 2020. This slipped under my radar too. Great review as always!

impressive and a great review. i always loved the fish shump. a bit of my childhood and st1ka captures it.

Another excellent review video. I saw you posted you received a cartridge version and I’m glad you mentioned you had the review video already. I’ve watched a lot of review videos of the Genesis mini where the host briefly talks about each game and the hosts generally crap on Darius. I like the game though I play mostly on easy mode and I’m glad you gave it a real chance and give an excellent review for anyone unfamiliar with the game.

Thank you for this review. I really like the way the zones are divided up in this game.

I was lucky enough to catch this the first time you uploaded it :) Anyway, superb review, fascinating to learn all about what makes this Mega Drive port special. As for the arcade version... time to move reeeal close to the TV! Or I’ll just stick with my Darius Plus on HuCard. Really happy they made a slow game for people like me!

I tried that Tangled game but couldn't get into it. Good vid as always man. Hope you're all good St1ka 😁

Eu não sei como não havia conhecido o seu canal antes, estou realmente MUITO impressionado com a qualidade dos seus vídeos, mais um inscrito!

Finally I could see, nice video st1ka, thanks

Incredibly impressive what a fan of a game can/will do to port a game. Wish there was more info out there about how they did it. Someone needs to interview them.

Great vid like always :) I honestly would love to get into shmup games but other then tyrian i never played another one. I do have a mini so I do want to check this out now. Thanks again <3

Great video I hope you get the sync issue between audio and video fixed soon.

What a great review mr! Made me want to try this Darius game once again, on original hardware. As you said, I aos couldn't get any further than the 1st stage.

The difficulty on the Megadrive is fine as long as you keep picking up shields when you find them.
