Segaiden 91: Last Battle & Tommy Lasorda Baseball

Is the Sega Genesis already dead?! No, silly, it's doing just fine here in August 1989. However, it does have a game based on Fist of the North Star now. Even if Sega was too miserly to change the name. They weren't fooling anyway, though, unlike with Black Belt.

There is some inconsistency online regarding Last Battle's release date, with some sources pegging it as an August launch title and others indicating it didn't ship until September. My solution is: not to be especially anxious about it. There was no gaming press tracking release dates at the time, no preorder system at game shops, no online release days, no day-one patches, no early adopter DLC. Did anyone here buy a Genesis on August 14, 1989? I'm guessing probably not! But if you did, I'd love to see the receipt you obsessively saved so that the world can see whether or not you bought Last Battle alongside it.

I had a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and then enjoyed this proper video essay. Just one more warning that the pieces to camera segments have that high pitch noise like last weeks video had
