Retro Game Master highlights the Mega Drive

Super Fantasy Zone (SS)

For one fine day in the retro world, Nintendo gets to move over as the newly cast in English Retro Game Master tackles the classic Sega Mega Drive game, Super Fantasy Zone.

Thursday, June 30, 2011 marked the day in history when the second episode of the show featured Super Fantasy Zone and the quest to save Opa-Opa’s father. Super Fantasy Zone was finally made available in the United States on the Wii Virtual Console, but it was originally released in 1992 in Japan.

This episode, like the rest of the new Kotaku shows, will feature subtitles in English for Shinya Arino. His offscreen announcer’s commentary will also be dubbed in English. In the past, there have already been fifteen full seasons of this show, but strictly in Japanese.

Look forward to watching Arino play games from many classic home video gaming consoles, primarily Japanese in nature: the Super Famicom, Mega Drive and PC Engine will be among them.
