Yeah, but none of those games have recognizable characters... Joe Musashi is just a regular ninja guy, Phantasy Star and Shining Force don't have consistent character rosters, and Splatterhouse isn't a Sega property. Sega was all about the arcade games, and you never really got any story or character there anyways, so the closest thing you got to a mascot was Ax Battler. If anything, they were relying more on licensed celebrities like Michael Jackson and Buster Douglas.Originally Posted by Edmond Dantes
They did make some more memorable characters later on that they could have done more with... like the Streets of Rage crew, Vectorman, Ecco, and ToeJam & Earl. They did try some spinoffs with the Eternal Champions characters, but those went pretty badly.
