I have never played this game. I barely even understand the gameplay from what I've seen. If I were to play it, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even like it that much. I have tried to emulate it before, but Sega Saturn emulation is a joke and anyone who tells you it's viable is lying to themselves and everyone around them. Burning Rangers is an elusive cryptid of a game that I only have tangentially experienced through playing Sonic All Stars Racing and listening to the soundtrack and imagining how cool the game might be. And man, does that soundtrack absolutely slam. For the entirely of 2019, the Burning Rangers theme song was the main character of my cardio workout playlist and I would run at inhuman speeds whenever it popped up. And every time I finished a workout, I'd think to myself "Yo, Burning Rangers is the greatest game ever created" despite never playing it a single time.
While it is fun to play pretend and push this baseless agenda, I would consider this is fraudulent behavior on my end. I do not desire to be a fake Burning Rangers fan. I need to play it for myself and craft a unique informed experience rather than pretending like I'm some 90's kid whose soul was set a flame by Sonic Team, when they popped in their Burning Rangers disc into their Uncle's Sega Saturn. That's not good enough for me. I want reality. We all deserve that reality. We all need Burning Rangers to be preserved and playable so that was can develop our own personal and real relationships with the game rather than wondering about "What If". There's so much strife, pain, and suffering we have to endure as human beings in this modern world. Do we really need Burning Rangers not having a modern port added on top of that? I don't think we do.
Never played the game but watched playthrough videos of this twice. The only negatives I could see for this game is that it is way too short, and I think it is an unfinished game. I can see with the 2D animated scenes, there would of most likely been other kinds of gameplay, more areas to explore, maybe get to know characters and maybe play other characters. If there be an updated finished version of this with better graphics and voice acting, it would be great.
One of last wave of new games released for the Sega Saturn--after the Saturn's obsolescence was announced--and pushed the limits of what the Saturn was capable of and what 3D action games were doing at the time. Many much-hyped features (extra characters, a procedural level arrange mode) were locked off to second playthroughs, and I myself never beat my first playthrough because I randomly got stuck on what I think was meant to be a not-that-hard minigame that precedes the final boss, a boss I only actually got to attempt once or twice with months spent failing the stupid space fire truck sequence repeatedly. I remember being mesmerized by the game's whole vibe, and always treated beating the game as my white whale. I still have my Saturn, it doesn't work so well, and my copy of Burning Rangers, which seems fine, I hope to bang my head against emulating it but Saturn emulation is difficult in the best of cases and this is a demanding game. It's one of many IPs I wish Sega cared enough to re-release, perhaps follow-up, but this one holds a special place as a Saturn fan of the old school.
