Sonic and Knuckles came out the same holiday season as Donkey Kong Country. Also, the saturn hadn't been released at that point (in NA anyway).Czernobog wrote:
I believe the Christmas that Nintendo threw down Donkey Kong Country, Genesis owners were left without anything good to play (Going by memory - correct me if I'm wrong). Not to mention that they were trying to market the Gen, CD, 32X, and Saturn all at once. The costs of that endeavor must have been staggering. I like the Saturn quite a bit and think it has some great offerings, but I hardly think Sega knew their stuff business-wise around that time.
Also interesting that you have vectorman as your avatar, since both vectorman games were released for the genesis after the saturn had come out. Vectorman 2 was one of the last great genesis games.
