Had my first playthrough a few months ago and was smitten. I can easily see this only getting better in subsequent playthroughs. Just a simple, charming, and most importantly, fun game.
maybe it'll get a retrospective some day, like maybe some youtuber might make a video on it. makes me sad thinking it could get lost in the void of obscure sega titles, it deserves better than that.
Loved this game, it could really use the remaster treatment with some bug fixes for the eggs. There's nothing like it out there. Soundtrack is insane, the boss battle themes are nuts.
Also this game is stupidly expensive now. $55 minimum on ebay
