I have Dynamite Deka. That douche from gametrailers is way off. The Japanese original was meant to be Bruce Willis/John McClane all the way. Just look at the cover art http://www.segagagadomain.com/saturn3/dynamite-deka.htm
Looks more like McClane than the US version. By the way, I will be selling my white boxed sega saturn wireless controllers on ebay.
I believe it was a loose imitation of Die Hard that borrowed Willis's likeness and the skyscraper element, but was never meant to be "Die Hard: The Game". Kind of like how the NES Metal Gear box art shows a guy who looks like the hero from Terminator or one of the guys in Elevator Action Returns is essentially Schwarzenegger.
Oh cool, I really like Dynamite Deka. I think they just didn't want to pay for a Die Hard License in Japan. In the US it's way more well known and thus a good investment.
The only thing I don't like about Dynamite Deka are the short loading times in between some scenes. It would have been so much more arcadey, if those weren't there. Other than that: Great arcade beat'em up.

That guy's just a humurous douche :) These are not serious reviews, just a quick, funny and often irreverent look at old games
But indeed that guy on the japanese cover looks a lot like Bruce Willis :D

And don't forget Contra, the guy's on the box art are basically Sylvester Stallone and Schwarzenegger
True true everyone. And well said Plushiest.
Wow, I sold my wireless Saturn controllers in one day...they will be missed.

Just bought this off ebay for a fiver. It was a class game in its arcade heyday.
I don't know... DD always felt so stiff and slow. Utilizing only three buttons for combos didn't really help matters either.
