    Default Star Odyssey - new RPG for Genesis / Mega Drive!

    Hello, everyone!

    Super Fighter Team recently visited France to showcase some of our upcoming new games at the Retro-gaming Connexion event. Among other aspiring projects, I was personally pleased to announce our next new role-playing game for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive: STAR ODYSSEY.

    What is especially interesting to note about this game is that Super Fighter Team has proudly partnered with Starfish-SD Inc. to make the official worldwide release possible. This means that Star Odyssey will be the first new game to be released in the classic gaming market in partnership with a company in Japan. Needless to say we are very excited about this product, and hope that you are, too.

    Our friends at Sega-16 have been kind enough to publish a neat preview of Star Odyssey, which I recommend to everyone who is interested in the game:

    Sega-16 Preview: Star Odyssey

    And to keep informed about the game's pending release, I invite you to sign up for our mailing list:

    Thanks for your interest and attention. If you have any questions about Star Odyssey or any of our other games, please feel free to contact me anytime by e-mail, private message, etc.

    Have a nice day.

    Good news.

    I just managed to get a copy of Beggar Prince, and hope to pick up Wukong. Great stuff.

    Thanks.

    Brandon, this is announcement is awesome and Super Fighter Team is awesome! Seriously...

    This game has always intrigued me and I know with you guys doing the translation it will be well worth the wait. Hopefully this will help pave the way for even more Japanese games to be released. As maxlords said ""I'll preorder this the SECOND sales open!

    Keep up the super (pun intended) work!!!
    If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?

    Actually, speaking of the translation, I'm curious as to whether Super Fighter Team is doing the translation or not. There was a completely translated version of the game ready for release before it was cancelled, and I know drx had a ROM of it in that giant Sega proto ROM collection a few years ago that he declined to release. Maybe this is that translation, or a doctored version of it?

    I've thought that Super Fighter Team's scripts have been pretty cheesy in the past. So hopefully this game is a little better written. Although don't get me wrong I've loved both Beggar Prince and Wukong so this is a must buy for me. I'm just saying this looks like the sort of game where a more sophisticated translation would better suit the gamestyle.

    Now if someone could just tackle translating Surging Aura... (:

    Hello everyone.

    As many of you know, Star Odyssey made its world debut last November at the Retro-gaming Connexion event in Crégy-Lès-Meaux, France. What you may not know is that we recorded it. The entire presentation, in English and French, is now available for viewing on YouTube.

    Check it out --

    World debut of Star Odyssey : new sci-fi RPG from Super Fighter Team for Sega Genesis / Mega Drive

    Thanks for your attention and interest.

    They just released an early prototype of the Chinese version of the Beggar Prince game. Nothing all that special, and nothing about SO's release.

    Just got my copy in the mail today as well. The box, manual and cart look real nice. I may pick up some more games from these guys as they come along.

    DAMN! I got my shipping confirmation on the 25th and Star Odyssey was in my mailbox the 28th! That was quick once it shipped.

    It's been a long wait compared to when I had previously ordered Beggar Prince and Legend of Wukong. It might have taken a bit longer, but in the end it was worth it.

    From what I have played so far this is SFT's best work to date.

    Brandon, I'm not sure what issues were at hand that delayed shipping for so many, but as always, your products speak for themselves, and this says many good things!
    If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?

    Got my order, and packaging is top notch. Going to have to dedicate some time to this one.

    I placed my order on July 29th. I got an email saying that more were in production because the first batch sold out and there was going to be a delay. Is anyone else in the same boat or know if they are still waiting for the next batch?
