OMG, Eternal Champions is a major blast from the past! I remember me and my old man playing this game back when I was a kid. Out of nowhere, my dad triggered an overkill out of nowhere at the Atlantis(?) stage and saw my character (Xiaver, IIRC) getting eaten alive by piranhas. The looks on our faces that day was priceless! I even remember resetting the game to see each character destroy the sega logo.

I found the game to be too difficult, mostly because the computer blatantly cheats. They can use their specials as much as they want, even if their special meter is empty. There's also how getting defeated sends you back a fight or two instead of having a continue system. The training modes are cool, but it's weird how you can set the difficulty in the training mode but not chose a difficulty for the main game.

God, Eternal Champions is a master class of wasted potential. The ideas that were implemented in this game like having characters that were morally grey and not inherently good or evil really could have gone over well today if it ever gets rebooted--but considering that Virtua Fighter was the fighting game that Sega wanted to keep making, Eternal Champions just fizzled out into obscurity. I will forever be a defender of this game's legacy, despite the fact that the controls were...shoddy at best.

It’s more complicated than that. VF and Eternal Champions were never in competition. (Sega went on to make MANY other fighting games aside from VF, like Fighting Vipers). FV was specifically a western developed answer to Mortal Kombat, which was big in the west and non existent in Japan. As a result, Sega Of America was given free rein to do what they needed to do. But the power struggles inside Sega meant that SOA lost their power after the 32x, which was the same time we heard the last out of Fighting Vipers. (Via The spinoff game Xperts)

My favourite thing about Eternal Champions is how it has various fighting locations from throughout history and one of them is literally just a McDonald's parking lot. I mean, they changed the logo but you still can easily tell it's a McDonald's just from the architecture, back before they started turning McDonald's restaurants into bland boxes roughly a decade and a half later. My biggest gaming memory of 1994 was passing by an arcade in Montreal somewhere on Rue Ste-Catherine near Complexe Desjardins and Place des Arts sometime in the later part of the spring or early summer and seeing a little bit of a crowd. They had a brand new Daytona USA machine with a large screen facing out towards the street and, at the time, it was like seeing a game from the future. Ironically, I don't think I ever actually got around to playing Daytona USA, I didn't have a lot of change with which to be able to play arcade games in 1994 and I think Daytona USA was a full "Loonie" (Canadian dollar coin) to play, I never got a Sega Saturn, and, once we had a Dreamcast, there were more sophisticated racing games like Metropolis Street Racer, Ferrari F355 Challenge, and Test Drive: Le Mans. My top Sega Genesis game of 1994 was mentioned in this episode, but it wasn't really shown in the sequence of 1994 games at the end but rather it was mentioned in passing earlier in the video: Dune II: The Battle for Arrakis. I also like Shining Force II.

Hopefully the monetization issue gets worked out. I'm really looking forward to you guys going into 94 it was kind of a big year for me. I grew up with my Dad in the airforce and we lived on an airbase in Germany from 1990 to 1994 (I was four to eight years old) everything we had from TV to video games and movies could be hard to come by and lagged behind the US releases anywhere from a few months to a few years behind the US. My family got back into the states in 94 and it was like a completely different world I had just got Sonic 2 but Sonic 3 was a thing, Mega Man had become Mega Man X, and Power Rangers and the X-Men where eveywhere. So 94 was when my memory of games became current and I was experiencing things as they where new and I'm looking forward to reliving some of that.

Eternal Champions is a tale of two games for me: the overkills, instant deaths, etc. were great and I loved the fact they tried to go with a story......but I HATED the game itself. It was slow, clunky, and getting the true ending was SUCH. A. PAIN. IN. THE. EVERYTHING.

Since Sega's bringing back a bunch of their old series, I think it's the perfect time they give Eternal Champions another shot. I think it had potential, but it was too focused on trying to bank off the success of bigger fighting games at the time.

The memories I have of playing Eternal Champions as a kid are mainly of my twin brother and I figuring out a fair system to divvy up the one third-party six-button controller and one first-party three-button controller we had when playing two-player mode. Playing Eternal Champions with only three buttons was...not fun. Meanwhile, it was a blast playing TMNT Tournament Fighters in the Blockbuster tournament in 1994. Neither of us got far in that tournament, but it was still fun nonetheless.

Happy Holidays Jared, Dylan and David. I hope the demonetization situation works out soon. I guess maybe you'll have to figure out a good way to disguise your commercial clips. Maybe it won't pick it up if you rotate it like 4 degrees and have an animated background around the edges of the video or something.

A good week for fighting games back in the day. I am really looking forward to the '94 games you'll be covering next year, especially Sonic 3 & Knuckles. 😁

1994 isn't a year that resonates too strongly with me but I'd love to hear about Doom 2, the Sega 32X, the release of the PlayStation, sonic 3 and knuckles, maybe cover Warcraft if you're inclined.

Streets of Rage 3, Super Metroid, Earthworm Jim, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Final Fantasy 6, Dynamite Headdy, and my personal favorite game of all time, Phantasy Star 4, all in 1994. I am HYPED for this next year of gaming nostalgia! 94 was one of the BEST years as a gamer! I swear, if you don't at least give Phantasy Star 4 a hidden gem alert, I will be very upset.

Fun Fact: Asuka in Tournament Fighters bares a striking resemblance to Rachael from their arcade fighting game, "Martial Champion" which was also released in 1993.

I was afraid that the 6 button controller was going to be the featured ' worst accessory' because I had one and to this day I still feel that it was one of the best designed controllers. It felt so NICE in the hands.

Eternal Champions was one of those underrated fighting gems; not as genre defining as Street Fighter, or as genre changing as Mortal Kombat, but it had it's own kind of charm, in a '90's edgelord way. The characters were, I think, the most memorable part, and my favourite was Larcen, the gangster that fought with Praying Mantis Kung Fu. That was the other thing I remember about the game - each fighter used a real world fighting style, with a brief history given in the manual. It's where I first learned that Pentak Silat and Capoeira even existed, and the dhampir character Midnight used Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

As a kid I was convinced TMNT Tournament Fighters got an Amiga port because so did Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, so SURELY, right? Nope. I dragged my dad to a few stores to look for it around my birthday before I finally gave up on it.

Eternal Champions was a very enjoyable game, honestly. The animations were smooth, the characters were all heroes with unfair fates, and it was quite fun as a whole.

I don't know how common knowledge this was, or if there's any documentation on it, but as a kid, I was invited to the Sega STI headquarters in Foster City to focus test something new. I was hoping it was a new video game... Color me disappointed when I'm led into a meeting room with other kids, and they have an "Eternal Champions" comic book on the table. They brough out this device that would frame itself around the page of the comic, and it would read the comic for you, with a narrator and voice acted dialogue. Seeing Eternal Champions reminded me of this, and I don't know if any other people really know about this since it was never released.

I'm glad we finally get to play Krang and Karai in the Sega Genesis version of TMNT Tournament Fighters for the Cowabunga Collection. Back then I was very disappointed as there were literally no way to unlock both of them for play.

Aside from the clunky controls, the lack of a combo system, and punishing AI, the biggest problem with Eternal Champions was the Yin-Yang meter. While you as a player couldn't use your special moves if it was depleted, the computer didn't have that restriction. The devs programmed the AI to constantly taunt you to drain your meter and then punish you with overpowered reaction speeds and an unlimited usage of specials.

Shame for Eternal Champions. Really love it's concept and cast, and it missed out on potentially being another ruined remnant of the 3D era.

Now that's what I call a Para Para Dancing controller! Imagine retro-bit making a Genesis activator for PS2, but only for use with ParaParaParadise.
