Coming off the powerful Z hardware system, Night Striker was one title that might ahve been a little more than the Mega CD could handle. Still, it's not all bad, and is worth checking out if you're itching for another import title for your library.

I've always wanted to give this a shot, along with Dynamic Country Club, Game no Can Vol. 2, and Devastator, and a couple of other Japanese Mega CD games.
The smell of scorched oil hangs in the air as a premonition of danger, while the engine gloriously shouts its war cry...
Throughout history, suspicion has always bred conflict. The real conflict, though, resides in people's hearts. This conflict has just begun.

Aisystem Tokyo is responsible for the MCD port.

Did you reply after I edited my post? The link that's now there says so. Originally Posted by Fighter17

I must admit I don't have the credits for Night Striker (since I don't have an ISO), but I do for Ninja Warriors. Originally Posted by Fighter17

I don't think RAM limitations had anything to do with the pixelation of the graphics. Instead, it was sheer incompetance on the part of the programmers. Japan NEVER figured out how to do proper scaling on the Mega CD. Maybe the whole country forgot how to program, I dunno. But games like Batman Returns, Soul Star, etc etc show that the Sega/Mega CD can do friggin' great scaling with tons of crap onscreen moving at a brisk pace. I think Night Striker could have been handled. There may have been a sprite missing here or there compared to the arcade along with reduced colors, but to blame the hardware for the game's pixelated shortcomings is wrong. The developers had no business being in business (Ninja Warriors also sucked balls).

I wish it was standard that you could listen to the game's soundtrack by just putting the game disc into your cd player.
Buy stuff at the Magical Game Factory, WaterMelon's crowd funding video game development site!
Do YOU have any games you want to get rid of that haven't been reviewed on the site and needs to be beaten for the sake of this project? Send 'em to me and I'll review and beat them! I'll pay for shipping of course. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
