When the Sega Saturn made its worldwide release in 1995, hopes were indeed high for a 32-bit sequel, but alas it never came.
Outside of the usual modern re-releases, the franchise has remained exclusive to the Mega Drive console for twenty years and yet it still manages to top people’s lists as one of the most popular console beat ’em ups in existence today. There is not a Sega fan alive who wouldn’t extol the virtues of Streets of Rage when asked about classic beat ’em ups.įar beyond the status of mere “ Final Fight clones”, the Streets of Rage games have made a name for themselves with addictive arcade-quality action, fluid gameplay and memorable music.
