Panzer Dragoon: Remake is a brilliant ambassador for the Saturn's eclectic and rarely talked about library. For me, it's the perfect side game while I slowly churn through larger titles like Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It's a simple game, for sure - the type that requires quick fingers and little thought - but one that feels at home on the Switch's portable hardware. I was totally engrossed in the level and making sure my long-press lock-on attacks covered every enemy onscreen. Within the first 30 seconds I had tuned out the roar of the convention center floor and the Nintendo representative hovering over my shoulder. Panzer Dragoon's imaginative world, kickass soundtrack and simple control scheme all hold up in 2019. I'm sure there are differences - sharper models, perhaps, and updated textures - but in handheld mode the Switch remake merely matched my rose-tinted memories of the original.Īnd that's perfectly fine. At Gamescom, I was able to zip through the opening chapter and experience what publisher Forever Entertainment has described as "improved graphics and controls." It's a wonderful conversion, though I wasn't blown away by the visual enhancements. That's why I was delighted to hear that the original Panzer Dragoon, released in 1995, is getting the remake treatment on Nintendo Switch. The vast majority of the console's library, however, is inaccessible unless you own the original hardware or want to dive into the legally murky world of emulation. A smattering of games have been re-released on PC and Xbox. The Sega Saturn, though? That's a trickier proposition. You can boot up a modern compilation, play them for free on your smartphone, or, soon, buy an adorable microconsole that plugs straight into your HDMI-equipped TV. If you love the Sega Genesis (or the Mega Drive, depending on where you live), there are countless ways to get your 16-bit fix.
