With the Illusion of Gaia mishap... wasn't this North America only? I wouldn't think it would impact the relationship back in Japan...
Hopefully Illusion of Gaia gets a new life on some future "Virtual Console" type service...
A fifth TMNT (arcade beat-em-up style) game, with Karai? Well, the cartoon is about to do the "Red Sky" episodes by now. And that makes two original licensed beat-em-ups from Konami. Wonder if Konami's X-Men got ported or not?
So we're nearing the end of the Super Nintendo cartridge era. Wonder if this means this timeline's equivalent of Kirby Super Star and Super Mario RPG are CD games...

It was North America only but Enix was still pissed about it. Again, it's not a dealbreaker immediately, just a minor slight that kind of snowballs over the next few years. I will say this, a sealed Illusion of Gaia SNES-CD game with all the extra stuff is going for at least $1,000 on TTL Ebay in 2014.
And yeah, I love Karai and she never got her due in the old school video games so this is her chance. Konami's X-Men will not get ported sadly, but there will be another SNES-CD X-Men game coming up in December...
And yes to both, Kirby Super Star and Super Mario RPG will both be showing up on the SNES-CD in some form in 1996.
Does the Republican Revolution still happen IOTL (it probably still does, IMO)?
Waiting for more, of course...
Yeah, it does. Cultural butterflies (particularly the lack of an OJ Simpson trial) sway a race or two but the Republicans still take the House easily in 1994 as IOTL.
In regards to the fifth generation, is there any possibility that Sega might court Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games, SingleTrac, and other OTL PlayStation developers for the Saturn ITTL? Would be interesting to see Twisted Metal on the Saturn.
Similarly, I wonder if Fighting Force will be Streets of Rage 4 as intended.

Next gen we going to have a lot of surprises not worry about it, just leave that come to us(will start in two month in japan anyway)
Yeah i rememeber that, thanks for the reminder and who is the developer... let's have a quiz, can imagine a chain of butterflies with that developer?
We have interesting plans for Twisted Metal. I don't want to spoil what happens with Naughty Dog, but they WILL release a major game sometime in 1995. Insomniac Games is actually a company we haven't thought too much about, but as we start working on 1996, they'll come into play.
It'll get coverage.
I can't remember if this question has been asked already - I can't find it, but maybe I missed it. But... Tomb Raider ITTL. It was one of the major reasons that the PlayStation was so successful initially. Without the PlayStation, what's going to happen? It'll probably be a Saturn title as OTL, but will it also appear on the next Nintendo console? Or would that be telling?

It will eventually make it to the Ultra Nintendo, yes.

Well Tomb Raider appared in Saturn just before Sony moneyhatted Core Design, and a lot of stuff can happen in long term, and yeam maybe have a Tomb Raider Gold For Ultra as the definitive Version(alongside PC).
Cheers for the reply. I'd been curious since it was so very popular OTL, that I figured it'd be a godsend to whoever landed it TTL.
Will we see any other Sonic television shows in the future? Given how you dislike SATAM this would be a perfect opportunity to provide a better Sonic adaptation for television.
Hopefully we will dodge a bullet with Sonic Underground. Maybe no Sonic X either? I am not a fan of it, at all. With Sega of America (possibly?) having more pull, we will see some SatAM elements folded into the games? Personally, I would like Rotor, Bunny Rabbot, and even Antoine to make the jump. Sally, I could take or leave.
I don't know. I enjoyed those characters in the comics, but I'm not sure if they could work in a game.
Maybe they could make Amy the main female character? It'd certainly be a step up from being a damsel in distress like in Sonic CD. Having a female character you can play as rather than have to rescue would be a step up from Mario's usual routine. Plus it'd be less of a stretch given the success of the Metroid games. Do you guys have any ideas to do with the Sonic comics? Archie's comic started in '93.
If you want, I know a lot about the comics and the general story issue to issue, so you could PM me for help on this, if you don't know it.
I don't DISLIKE SatAM Sonic, I just wasn't a huge fan of it. Sonic X I'm almost certain gets butterflied away. As for seeing SatAM characters in one of the games, it's a possibility...
Sure, feel free to send a PM our way with your ideas.
Well, the one who not liked Satam was me(mostly because hate that squirel girl how threat tails, seriously that eggman/robotnik was either too serious too weird unlike the videogames-adventure and a long etc),i prefered more Adventures of Sonic and Sonic X.
In general butterflies will ensue and Sonix X is out because time distance.
Aboout a videogame, STI for years wanted to do that but SoJ and Yuji Naka personally vetoed that, here with some 'bribes' and stuff would be pulled need to be debated.(umm Sonic RPG to Counter Mario one?)
