So I’m not sure why Sega decided to bundle up the first two GG Shining Force games onto one disc for the Mega CD in Japan in 1994, but I wasn’t surprised when Sega of America initially stated they had no interest in bringing Shining Force CD to western shores. The Sega CD was nearing the end of its life as well, and again, hadn’t set either market on fire. ![]() The Game Gear was getting pretty long in the tooth by 1994, and had never been remotely as popular as Nintendo’s Game Boy in either Japan or North America. Sega was in a weird position with these games. Of the three Game Gear Shining Force releases, only the middle one got localized and released in English. Shining Force III Scenarios two and three were most famously left in Japan, but it wasn’t the first time Sega of America skipped a game or two in the series. It makes sense, since there were nine of them across the Genesis, Sega CD, Game Gear and Saturn.īut English releases of those games were sporadic at best. ![]() And while the series included dungeon crawlers and zelda-style action games, the Shining Force games definitely dominate most people’s memories when the series comes up in conversation. ![]() At least up until the point they were bastardized into whatever they are today. I’m a huge fan of Sega’s Shining series of RPGs. ![]()
