The Takenobu Mitsuyoshi interview is now online! A sincere thank you to Mitsuyoshi-san for agreeing to speak with me, to SamIAm for facilitating the conversation and translating the interview, to Korimaru for connecting me with SEGA, and Burntends for connecting me with Kori.

Funny. It was Golden that was playing for me too.

Here’s my recreation of the Advanced Course in Daytona USA as a fully playable VRChat racing world! No source code used, just constructed and programmed in Unity & C# (UdonSharp) by eyeballing the arcade version and doing my best while trying to keep it fun!

I left the Midwest, but moved to a place with abundant Wawa locations. So it’s a pretty good trade.

I have bought entire consoles for less money. That is outrageous.

The Panzer series keeps getting subpar remakes.

PandaMonium @pandamonium.bsky.social · 12d

If a Saga remake is done poorly, those who are new to the game would be better off just playing it on Saturn.

You have options, and you should know what they are. If only so you no longer have an excuse to not play Sega Saturn games.

It takes a slight amount of figuring out, but using Mednafen with a medGUI works very very well. Near perfect Saturn emulation. I hear people have a lot of luck with Bizhawk as well.

Sort of. Many of the 90's PC ports of games like Virtua Cop and Sega Rally are ports of the Saturn versions. NiGHTS into Dreams had a Steam port. It was a port of the PS2 game which was a port of the Saturn original. It is now delisted, sadly.

Oh lordy, a decomp would be heavenly.

PandaMonium @pandamonium.bsky.social · 12d

As for this Zwei remake, I want to restate that it is a work in progress. The devs diligently patched many of the issues with the first remake and made it pretty alright. With no release date set, they may take the time to improve upon this demo. I do not want to bury this thing before it comes out.

PandaMonium @pandamonium.bsky.social · 12d

A City Connection port would even be better than a remake. At least get the game out there. Sadly, the source code is reportedly very lost.

While you're at it, emulate Zwei too. It is one of the greatest Saturn games and perhaps one of greatest games ever made period.

Generally speaking, many in the Saturn scene think there should be a Panzer Dragoon Saga remake to spread its reach. I think that would do the game an incredible disservice and only serve to confuse newcomers. So I strongly encourage you all to emulate Saga instead, or use an ODE/burn on hardware.

I whipped up a quick Panzer Dragoon Zwei Remake gameplay comparison, putting the Saturn original next to the remake demo footage shown at Tokyo Game Show 2025
