Sakura Taisen (Saturn Live Stream, Episode 8)

Nix McRetro // 11th July 2020 // Livestream, Sega, YouTube

The Koubu broke! Without spirit armour what defence do we have? That’s right, we had a backup plan! Jinbu! Lord Satan certainly is testing our limits with these new battles. A sign of things to come? Will the next battle be even more powerful? Can our Jinbu spirit armour strike through the enemy?

Fun fact: Sorry for the long break, but the VA15 Saturn I use to capture this video has finally been recapped and the video flicker I was chasing is gone. That’s the before-and-after result on this console, not proof that every flickering Saturn needs a blanket recap. Segata Sanshiro demands… perhaps a little diagnosis first! ;)
