    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that sounds cool as hell. I doubt a single media outlet will EVER put them in a genesis. And I doubt any collectors will ever put one in a genesis. Youtube streamers are the only ones who would ever put them in the genesis, as part of their video…but only then.

    “Hey guys we made this cool thing, that does this cool retro function!”

    "Whoa!!! That’s awesome!!!

    …let’s all collectively NEVER use it."

      I believe I saw a shorts video from IGN playing it. It has a couple of posters, some voice lines from the characters, and a mini game, where you run from Shadow, that you can’t win or lose.
