E3
1995 (May 11-13) |
|
The E3 1995 must have been a small nightmare
for the people at SEGA, because apart from promoting their
'shock' Saturn launch (with the PSX, 3DO, CD-I
and Jaguar VR systems all on show), there was a whole
slew of Genesis, 32X, Sega-CD, Game
Gear and Pico software waiting to be showcased
(surely that's a record that won't ever be broken). The major
titles for Saturn naturally were Daytona USA, Virtua Fighter
2 and Virtua Cop. The 32X 'had' Virtua
Fighter, Kolibri and X-Men. Vectorman,
Garfield: Caught in the Act, Comix Zone and X-perts
were showcased for the Genesis and even the Game Gear had
plenty of titles.
The third party support was incredible with plenty of upcoming
blockbusters on show. Earthworm Jim 2, Rayman,
Mortal Kombat III, Night Warriors: Darkstalker's
Revenge, Alien Trilogy and Worms to
name just a few. The amount of games that 'didn't make it
out in the end' is also quite unbelievable; you should be
to count over 40 titles from the list below.
