“It’s really amazing that Sega Toys would release something this crazy. It’s unbelievable, right? I mean it’s a mini arcade console that has almost all shooting games on it, that’s insane!” – Minoru Ikeda, Game Center Mikado
“R-Type is…a game that changed my life and taught me some very important lessons.” – Shinichi Hamada
“So if I think about it in terms of strategy, it’s a real-time puzzle game. Space Harrier is the same as OutRun in that way, I think.” – Daichi Katagiri
“Shinobi style games have indeed been the ones that I’ve learned the most from…they are one of Sega’s great lineages.” – Roppyaku Tsurumi
“A far cry from Shinobi, it was a lofty plan that didn’t seem like it could be based on anything that AM1 had done so far. At the very least, it wasn’t something that a newbie like me could handle. What was I supposed to do with this?” – Roppyaku Tsurumi
