The team designed and marketed Alien Soldier explicitly for 'hardcore' Mega Drive gamers, designing its difficulty and scoring methods for those that enjoyed the system's strong action game library.Īlien Soldier was released towards the end of the Mega Drive's lifecycle in February 1995.

With the market for the Mega Drive quickly shrinking to make headway for the incoming 32-bit fifth generation hardware, Suganami received support from other Treasure staff and released the game with only about half of his original ideas realized. Development lasted two years and was led by Hideyuki Suganami, who originally held ambitious plans and wanted to build the entire game himself. Sucks to be Power Golf.Treasure began development on four games after the release of Gunstar Heroes, among these was Alien Soldier. Unfortunately for Power Golf, we've already resigned ourselves to only purchasing games which feature either a Tanooki Suit or a Seven Force robot this week. On the TurboGrafx-16 side, we'll have the option of buying Power Golf for 600 Wii points. And if they do, that speaks more to their character than Alien Soldier's qualities. Hardcore gamers won't regret spending 900 Wii points on this one. Treasure's classic run-and-gun boss-travaganza for the Sega Genesis, Alien Soldier, will also be available for download tomorrow, having previously appeared in North America only through the ill-fated Sega Channel. We'll sleep tonight with the bills gripped tightly in our fists, smiling as we dream about spending the entirety of tomorrow ensconced in a giant green boot. We've already pulled 500 Wii points out of our wallet, just waiting to hand the cash over to anyone who'll give us the game in return. 3, a title which many feel to be the NES's finest product, with this week's Virtual Console update. Heralding the release of Super Mario Galaxy this November 12th, Nintendo plans to deliver Super Mario Bros.
