I can hardly wait! In other news, Sega is adding "Sword of Vermilion" to their channel! This is great!

It happens to be a horrible excuse for a game.

It happens to be a horrible excuse for a game.

And just why is that? Is it the battle system (which is actually awesome)?

Not a great game, but it did have an interesting mix of gameplay (a little platforming, overhead, and first person action).

The game kicks ass. Plus I LOVE the battle system. It's great to have an RPG where the action/fight/battle sequences let you move around and have freedom of movement other than ones where you just have to sit there, and you have like a menu of commands which are completely frustrating, and the action you want to do doesn't always work, and you try to escape the battle, but you can't like "_____ attacked, but missed!" or "______ tried to run away, but couldn't!". It's a good that things like that aren't present in SOV, because those things usually turn me away from an RPG. There should be more RPGs with battle sequences like SOV.

The same people who developed Sword of Vermilion also developed:

Shenmue 1 & 2
Out Run
Space Harrier
Virtua Fighter 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5
Daytona USA
etc ect etc.

Sword of Vermilion is like taking all of those above games and combining their greatness into one game.  That's why it needed nearly limitless 5-mega power!

Loved sword of Vermillion.  I'm not sure if it's just nostalgia, but I do recall having a good time with it. 

The hint book that it came with totally spoiled the game, though.

I liked Sword of Vermilion ages ago. Tried it fairly recently. It was junk. I can't believe I actually enjoyed that crap! It was shocking. The game is SO bad!

The game itself is actually "OK" or maybe "not too bad" at best.  I liked it when it first came out.  The music is still awesome, though.

Oh, it's not nostalgia. I'm sure of that. If it was just nostalgia, it wouldn't be on the VC, or in the Genesis collection for PS2 and PSP.

I liked Sword of Vermillion, it did get very repetitive later on though.  The bosses were damn cool, I remember the last boss was awesome.

SOV music is better than a bacon and egg toastie on a Friday morning.

I wonder if they'll rate it T, M or (unlikely) AO? regardless, it will probably be the 'highest' rating for a VC game so far.

I hope they don't sanitize it or some crap so they can give it an E.

Why would SoV get a "high" rating?  I don't remember anything 'naughty' about it.

You must have missed the cut scene with the vicar, the pineapple and a large jar of mustard.
