Let's just say this was the game that introduced me to UBI Soft on the SNES, and I think it was the only one released for that console. The thing is, I fell in love with this game because it was a 4-player Mario Kart (I was lucky enough to have the Hudson Soft multitap and played it with my cousins). That day, I made the mistake of elevating UBI Soft to the status of gods, and I hoped they would do well as a company so they'd release a sequel in the future, which never came. I found it strange because I was sure Street Racer had been a hit.
Of course, the game was far from perfect; it needed more work, the weapons needed improvement, the melee attacks were very bland, and when you ran out of energy, you didn't die; you just kept driving your vehicle as if nothing had happened.
Some time later I found out about the Gameboy version (quite mediocre by the way), the PSX version which was nothing more than a slight improvement of the SNES version, and later I found out that the programmer was a Turk who lived in England and that when the sequel to Street Racer had already been announced he decided to return to his native country as soon as it was cancelled.
Now, to be honest, this game has aged terribly (not even comparable to the Top Gear trilogy, which did stand the test of time and you can enjoy its trilogy today). The other day I played Street Racer on my SNES and it already feels obsolete. I think they should fix all the bugs and make it so you can lose like in F-zero.

It looks more like Legend Of Cage than Return Of The Ninja.

And finally, we had to wait 34 long years to finally enjoy a remake of this wonderful game, in my opinion the best ever made for the NES (forgive me for Shadow of the Ninja and Batman Return of the Joker).
For those who don't know, Natsume had programmed Shatterhand and was going to release it in Japan and America, BUT Angel, which held the license for the Solbrain series, commissioned Natsume to make a game based on the series. Natsume modified the Shatterhand game, and as a result, a "different" version was released in Japan, while in America, we had the game in its purest form.
I knew the rights were held by Jaleco, but with its demise or due to expiration dates, they returned to Natsume around 2009, although they never made it public. With luck, they only released a compilation album with all the songs from Natsume's most well-known franchises (including Shatterhand).
Even so, it's sad that those of us who loved this game had to wait a lifetime to finally enjoy a remake.

@Zuljaras Two years ago, someone wrote one of the most detailed reviews I've ever seen of this game (which is also a cult classic of mine), unfortunately it's only in Spanish.

@Sketcz Why do you say Steam isn't working?

Final Vendetta disappointed me as a game, it has absolutely nothing redeeming about it and in fact I'm surprised they gave them the license for Doom and Terminator.

As a Jaleco fan, I think the people at City Connection Games should go back to the original name (I don't care if it once belonged to a Japanese real estate company, Jaleco's name will always be associated with video games).
And they should release a sequel to City Connection.

Shadowgate+Obra Dinn

But if the Space Invaders movie was already made many years ago, it's called War of the Worlds, even Spielberg made a remake in 2005.
I'd much rather they make it a biopic like Tetris; that formula worked and it worked.

This series is truly awful. Mega Man's design reminded me a lot of Popeye, and the animation style was very Hanna-Barbera (meaning the artists were working without motivation just to keep up and save money).
I'm far ahead of the OVAs that came out in Japan several years ago, needless to say it surpasses the series in every way and in fact it deserved to be released on Blu-ray.

Stop trying to pronounce it in English. The word "Amiga" is pronounced "female friend."
Thanks.
