Segata Sanshiro
is a character created by Sega to advertise the Sega Saturn in Japan between 1997 and 1998. He is a parody of Sugata Sanshirō, a legendary judo fighter from Akira Kurosawa's 1943 film ''Sanshiro Sugata''. In television and radio advertisements, Segata Sanshiro is portrayed by actor Hiroshi Fujioka. He was positioned as a martial artist who commanded people to play Sega Saturn games. The advertising campaign began in 1997, with the Saturn having a modest level of success in Japan at that point. Fujioka was impressed by Sega's ideas for the character and felt that Segata Sanshiro would send a strong message to children. Advertisements continued both on television and on radio until 1999. As a result of the advertisements, Segata Sanshiro's theme song became a CD single and he was made the main character of his own video game, ''Segata Sanshirō Shinken Yūgi''. Segata Sanshiro has also had cameo appearances in video games, a comic book and a live concert. He has retained a cult ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

First released in 1996 in arcades on Sega's Model 2 arcade system, ''Sonic the Fighters'' pits players in one-on-one battles with a roster of characters from the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series. ''Sonic the Fighters'' was built using the 3D fighting engine for ''Fighting Vipers'' (1996), another game by Sega AM2, and it was the first 3D game in the ''Sonic'' series. The idea for a ''Sonic'' fighting game was conceived when a Sega AM2 programmer experimented with a 3D Sonic the Hedgehog model in ''Fighting Vipers''.

A home console port for the Sega Saturn was announced, but ultimately canceled, resulting in the game staying an arcade exclusive until 2005 with the compilation ''Sonic Gems Collection'' for GameCube and PlayStation 2.
