It's definitely not as refined as Nintendo's first party platformers from the same era. But I love the unique atmosphere and aesthetic.

I could never get into the 2d Ecco’s, just something about them that didn’t appeal to me or click in any way, loved the 3d Dreamcast game though, and on PS2, would much rather of had a full remake of that.

They might be a bit more accessible now in the days of save states.

I adored the Dreamcast game when it was out but it was so easy to get lost. I tried to replay it a while back and I struggled. A polished remake with quality of life improvements would be great.

Yuzo Koshiro's Earthion now has a Steam page. Unfortunately, release date is still TBA.

[edit] this is apparently published by Limited Run Games. The website lists a generic "summer 2025" for release.

The people behind the popular Farming Simulator series have a Megadrive version coming out next week

That looks like Desert Strike but with tractors!

[wakka]

Haha that's cool, I instantly thought of Desert Strike as well! Def an inspiration for the look of the visuals.

Imo once you've built a huge farm you should unlock a mode where you get to blow it all up with an Apache helicopter.

Wow, Chris Huelsbeck. Very cool.

After this, I fully expect Aero The AcroBat to have its own remaster.
