Before you execute a Segata stanglehold on me for not posting a pic from a Saturn game, let me explain. I recently picked up the 360 game 'Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts' and am throughly enjoying it. Particularly the vehicle building aspect. Finally a way for me to play with Legos as a grown man! Of course, my first order of business was to build a Sega Saturn car. As you can see above, I did a so-so job. As this is my first vehicle, and my parts inventory is small, I ask you to forgive me and let me have another crack at it once my skills improve. Expect a "model 2" in the coming month. Do I get extra points for adding the memory cartridge?
Fun fact: 'Nuts & Bolts' has one degree of seperation from Segata Sanshiro. Banjo & Kazooie appeared in the 360 version of 'Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing', and Segata himself was considered as a racer early in the dev stages. They even drew up concept art (which has yet to be seen)! His lack of inclusion was, in part, due to Sega not owning the likeness of Hiroshi Fujioka (Segata's actor).
Obligatory vintage Hiroshi image:
UPDATE – I gave it another try and made a much better Saturn vehicle:
Hah, now that looks quite funny actually. It took me a second to get, though. And every post with a vintage Hiroshi image is a good post.
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks. I've collected better parts since then, so I'm sure I can make something better. I know there is a way to make objects "eject" from one another, so I could have the memory cart pop out at the push of a button. lol
