How would the world be different if Sega kept Alex?

Less Sonic fetish art on DeviantArt, I guess.

They wouldn't have been as successful, since the Alex Kidd games weren't as good or unique as the Mario or Sonic games.

Alex Kidd & Knuckles would have blown the world away with lock-on technology that would have broken the borders between 8-bit and 16-bit.

rock paper scissor would have become the trending game in schools during 2007, after the remarkable Hit 'Alex Kid 2006'.

I dunno. Maybe he'd have gotten a great game.
Don't get me wrong, his best games are good, but none of them are what I'd call "great".
Too bad. The world was pretty nifty, rock-paper-scissors aside.

Also, translation of the Jap version of enchanted castle fucking when.

Has anyone on here actually played some of the Alex Kidd games when they came out?

i played Alex Kidd in Miracle World when it came out in my country 1989

liked it a lot more than mario

>>3649672
it would be a high tech world, that's for sure

Yup, in the UK, SEGA were a lot bigger than Nintendo were (at leatlst until the 16-bit wars anyway.)

I played Miracle World and Shinobi World on release.

Shinobi World is still one of my favourite Master System games.

Funnily enough, I don't think High Tech World is a genuine Alex Kidd game.

I'm sure SEGA changed the sprites of some other game like Nintendo did with Doki Doki Panic (Super Mario Bros.2)

I might be wrong though, too lazy to check...

You're actually right

> There's a reason why this is so completely different (and terrible) compared to the others – it wasn't originally an Alex Kidd game. In Japan, it's known as Anmitsu Hime, and is based on a mid-1980s anime, which in turn was based on a manga dating back to 1949, about a tomboy princess in feudal Japan. This makes sense, given that the castle and town levels are distinctly Japanese, as are all of the secondary characters.

For once HG101 has proven useful.

Not much. Only improvement is we wouldn't have this thread.
