The Mega Drive launch titles are very strange. They have this drab and sad sound to them, and it really carries over into how this game looks as well. It's a weirdly miserable game, but it's not shit or anything, just very mid. Out of the three launch titles, Space Harrier II is slightly better, but both triumph over Super Thunder Blade very considerably. Super Thunder Blade is a complete joke both in general and as an actual one between friends and I need to talk about it some time.

Basically no thoughts changed on this revisit, so I decided to check out the arcade version as well. It's still drab and tedious. Gootbye
