DarthRushy Yet he later appeared in various other Sega-related games and media. Given Segata's apparent ability to ignore the laws of reality, it'll take more than atmospheric re-entry to stop him from forcing us to play a near twenty-year-old console.
I like how these form a story through the ads; Segata starts off as a SEGA henchman beating people into buying SEGA Saturns, gets a job as a mall Santa, trains up his knowledge of martial arts, breaks into a house to "rescue" the trapped victims, almost gets killed by the zombies of people he killed, escapes and raises an army to fight the zombies, and once victorious embarks on a career in professional sports before meeting the love of his life and getting a videogame of his exploits made and, completing the cycle, sacrifices himself to save SEGA in a massive fucking explosion. Why doesn't this man have a movie?
As BaityBait said: "Segata Sanshiro was going to be in smash, but he was so strong that with a single kick ingame he would fix the joycon drift then make it explode"
IMPOSSIBLE. Segata Sanshiro does not kick. He judo-throws... ... ...and I'm pretty sure that a single in-game judo throw would fix the joycon drift, add every single requested character to the roster, *and* enable thousands of high-quality mods with no download or fees...and then your entire console explodes. Twice.
From brutally forcing products onto the youth, to saving lives, to sacrificing himself not only for the same people who he once terrorized, but for his replacement as well. What a redemption arc. The icon is missed to this day.
Ah but if you look closely at the last scene you’ll see a shooting star…or Segata reentering the Earth’s atmosphere. Why hasn’t he appeared? Simple: some say he’s biding his time waiting to rise up and save Sega once again
NA Saturn Commercial: If you play Sega Saturn, horrible things will happen to your body JP Saturn Commercial: If you DON'T play Sega Saturn, horrible things will happen to your body That right there is the difference between good and bad marketing, I guess.
The PS3 had a hilarious contrast in the campaign. Early days (I call it the Spider-Man era): Freaky "focus test" commercials meant to target hardcore gamers Later era: Hilarious vice president figure telling people that you should play PS3 because of the amazing games they have.
So from this we've learned that Segata Sanshiro's only weakness is zombies. Fun fact: Segata Sanshiro is based on the character Sugata Sanshiro, a judoka from an Akira Kurosawa movie that was based on a book. The author of that book based it on real judoka Saigo Shiro, the first guy in judo to ever be awarded a black belt.
That dude was waiting on top of the motherfucking Sega headquarters for a missile attack, leapt off the roof without hesitation, grabbed it just before it hit the window, redirected it with brute force, then rides into space shouting his catchphrase before it blows up. Hands down the most epic heroic sacrifice in a video game commercial.
I could see those commercials coming over here, but they'd have to change them. The Segata theme would be gone and they'd play it up like a badly dubbed kung fu movie and throw a filter over it. Also, most of those games did not come out in the US. I think, like Sonic R and Bomberman and maybe Sakura Wars did. Honestly, I would've liked to see Burning Rangers, Deep Fear, and Wachenroder make it over. They'd also need to commission commercials for Virtua Fighter 2, Daytona USA, Clockwork Knight, NiGHTs, and a few sports games. Or, just reuse footage from the commercials for games that didn't come out here...
I think that if they did do a Segata commercial in the US, I think he would probably be a parody superhero-type character (ala Duffman from The Simpsons)

@@GiordanDiodato Can't have a choice when Stolar refused to bring Segata's game over here. Just like every other good game on the Saturn. Thanks a bunch Stolar.
@@NotaPizzaGRL true. I feel like he's also the reason Sega fell. Outside of refusing to bring over the Saturn's good games because he thought 2D was on the way out (which, to give him credit, was sorta true at the time) and RPGs were "too nerdy" to be popular (he said this just a few months before the release of Final Fantasy VII in NA) he did 2 other things that were dumb: 1. He cancelled Streets of Rage 4 for the Dreamcast because he had never heard of Streets of Rage before. (I am not joking) 2. You know how EA never published anything on the Dreamcast? They had plans to publish a lot of games on the system, but Stolar told them to fuck off since Sega had just purchased some sports developer whose name escapes me. Basically he thought that they didn't need EA to make the Dreamcast popular. Good thing Sega ousted him just before the Dreamcast dropped in NA. Who knows what would have happened if he would still be in charge during the Dreamcast's short run. I don't think we would have gotten Skies of Arcadia, Grandia II, or Bangai-O.

Segata didn't die, that shooting star in the background....That is Segata re-entering the Earth's atmosphere...God help the poor bastard that found him
gaurdianAQ Yeeah, but at that time, Sega Dreamcast was coming out, and Segata for all we know was Saturn Exclusive...So, my hypothesis is that regardless if the console is made by Sega, if you are not playing a Saturn, you are screwed...That and he would be far away from Sega HQ so there is a possibility that no one told him about the Dreamcast.
Xavior TheLycan I know how Segata really survived! It's like what Buu did in the hyperbolic time chamber, he screamed and opened up a portal to another universe. He went through just before the missile exploded and thus didn't even get hit by it.
Chuck Norris is afraid to die because he knows Segata Sanshiro will be waiting for him. Segata Sanshiro does not defy the laws of physics; the laws of physics simply know what happens to those who defy Segata Sanshiro. Segata Sanshiro has won The Game. Twice. Segata Sanshiro was actually bitten by those zombies. The zombies subsequently became living people. Segata Sanshiro will reappear at the end of time and judo throw the universe. It will be the most awesome thing ever.
Segata has played the English port of Mother 3 on Sega Saturn. Segata has played Sonic3CD & Knuckles & Knuckles 2 on Sega Saturn. Segata has played every game and concept on the Sega Saturn in HD and VR separately and at the same to completion more times than Sega has be mentioned in history. He has traveled space and time collecting and playing every game ever playable for Sega Saturn and beating them. He has even played Sonic R 2 for Sega Saturn and what would've been Sonic X-treme if it was completed and on Sega Saturn. Today he lives on the planet Saturn, playing Sega Saturn, with his miniature versions of himself, to the sound of his theme song.
Segata has beaten every single Souls game three times over with no deaths and nothing but his judo throw. His willpower is so strong that Ornstein and Smough surrendered to him immediately, and Nito is now his personal servant. and he accomplished all of this on his giant Saturn.
Disappointed Turtle Yeah, whoever is not playing a Saturn, he's gonna come up to you like "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru." and they're gonna be like "Nani?!", and then Segata beats the shit outta them.
Now now, I hate Sony as much as the next SEGA Fanboy... but you have to let it go ;). To train ourselves into an army of Japanese Chuck Norrissi (multiple for Chuck Norriss) is not the answer. Fucking cool, I agree and totally awesome ... I concur... Just not the answer XD.
Arxoan Nixtram And that is why he will loose, he has no spirit of cooperation like SEGATA when he works together with himself. SEGATA is just the more powerful :).
SEGA has so many iconic characters, and yet they keep milking the crap out of sonic, Segata Sanchiro should return whit his oun game, or appear as a smash bros character.
Not in vain. The Dreamcast and Saturn (and basically all of Sega's consoles) legacy's is still alive. Even if these consoles didn't succed in their times, today all the community of gamer praise them for bringing in excellent games in video game history. You did not die in vain Segata!
@@MoreAwsomeMetal Still waiting for a Sega Saturn Classic, but from I what I understand, Sega lost the assets and code for a lot of the extremely popular games on the Saturn (i.e. Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, and, I think, Sakura Wars)
I know for a fact they lost the arcade House of the dead code. I find it bizarre how a company would do that ... And yes, pretty much every Sega fan wants a Saturn classic now. Heck I would even take a Mega CD collection! I will be getting the megadrive classic as it is the best console ever made but even I know it's been done to death for re releases.
Segata Sanshiro is a great man. I mean sure he beats the ever loving crap out of you and tells you to play Sega Saturn, but at least he leaves you the whole game system next to your beaten up body.
Man this is what Nintendo should've done with captain N the game master. But now that I think about it, segata Sanshiro is probably the true game master
Supermagnificence no its the laws of segata sanshiro that applies to physics time and space,because if they don't play sega saturn or obey him, he will beat the crap out of physics.
Segata Sanshiro's final sacrifice brought tears to my eyes. I am committing myself to collecting Sega Saturn and Segata Sanshiro goods from now on. He's the hero we didn't deserve. I love Sega so damn much. I didnt even realize.
@@cumekira70 Not according to Project X Zone: 2. Literally the only reason I own that game is because he is in it. I know nothing about any of the other characters, or the plot, or anything. Segata Sanshiro is officially a box office draw.
"The solitary man who devoted his soul to gaming, Today he returns once more." Never have these words rang truer since SEGATA SANSHIRO IS CONFIRMED FOR PROJECT X ZONE 2!
The Sega Saturn might not have done great, but we can all agree that Segata Sanshiro did amazing. If nothing else, he will outlive us all for being such a legend.
Segata Sanshiro should have been a hidden character in every Saturn game, and he should have had over the top abilities and attacks. Even in the US not knowing him, he seems really cool and bad ass, with a good sense of humor.
I'm telling you, if we got the Segata Sanshiro commercials in the USA, I know a lot of people who would have bought one including myself. I didn't get my Saturn till much later. But SEGA hardly promoted it at all let alone give it cool commercials. They didn't learn their lesson either cause Dreamcast was barely promoted outside of magazines. But Segata Sanshiro will forever be in our hearts and minds.
***** A couple different things. First there were 1M and 4M RAM expansion carts that allowed for extra frames of animation in certain games (mostly fighters). Second there were memory cartridges. Lastly there were carts that combined both of these functions AND allowed your system to play games from all regions.
S-Segata... He died a hero... He saved the Dreamcast. But he knew many would play the Saturn. And we still continue Segata’s legacy by playing the Saturn. We will always remember Segata. He was hero since the beginning, and a hero to the end.
I got teared eyed with the last part. The Saturn was basically dead but till the end Segata was still reminding us to play the SEGA SATURN even though it was a failure.. Thank you Segata Sanshiro .
Leo Lim What about Kamen Rider Ichigata (Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation)? He’s supposed to resemble Ichigo. Here’s why: -His Progrise Key is Zetsumetsu/Rocking Hopper, which is similar to Ichigo’s derivation from Shocker. -His muscular body and color schemes. -He uses a cyclone to transform. -He is a Humagear/cyborg. -His name has the number 1 in it, much like Super-1.
Yeah. I'd be cool to have a movie where a guy beats innocent bystanders out doing physical activities like playing sports and dancing and then telling them to go home and play Sega Saturn, and to have that guy be the hero.
They need to bring him back, make a new Sega console to compete with XBox, Ps4, and Wii!! And Segata will return from his reentry through the atmosphere
He also played in a tv show called Kamen Rider & Kamen Rider V3 which was a sentai series. like power rangers just more physical combat and very great motorcycle action scenes. if you ever watched the Gyver Movies then that would be close to what those shows were like...dark, lots of action and awesome stunt work.
Over the last few years Sega has started to make a real comeback. Going from producing failure after failure and almost going bankrupt to putting out nothing but hit games and movies. How did they make such a fast comeback after decades of constant failure? There's but one answer. *He* has returned
I saw these ads on a youtube channel for old video game ads and instantly fell in love. Some of the ads here are much shorter than the full length ones though- notably the soccer ones start out serious and fake you out into thinking it's going to be a real ad until segata randomly shows up. But these are definitely high quality and with subtitles, which is amazing in it's own right
@@Mikashi27 th-cam.com/channels/JncQXTGRqodaV1wZIF5WoA.html They also have a site in their "about" page that has timestamps for every video naming the game and video source, etc the longer ads can be found in the 1998-1999 sega saturn video

Justin Arthur That's just his Force Ghost.
The Dreamcast failed because Segata wasn’t there to defend it
Sega Shiro was a baby at that time.
He sacrificed himself so that Sega could make Dreamcast
:(
It was because he went rogue. Even with the Dreamcast out, Segata was still out there beating the shit out of people for not playing Sega Saturn.
😭😞 The Dreamcast was an amazing system and a victim of circumstances.
I like how these form a story through the ads; Segata starts off as a SEGA henchman beating people into buying SEGA Saturns, gets a job as a mall Santa, trains up his knowledge of martial arts, breaks into a house to "rescue" the trapped victims, almost gets killed by the zombies of people he killed, escapes and raises an army to fight the zombies, and once victorious embarks on a career in professional sports before meeting the love of his life and getting a videogame of his exploits made and, completing the cycle, sacrifices himself to save SEGA in a massive fucking explosion. Why doesn't this man have a movie?
No single movie could contain Segata Sanshiro's awesomeness. It'd have to be a TV series, or a trilogy of movies!
With 20 h dor bis awesomeness!
sources say the ones who fired the missile was Nintendo
This is the movie
Have you ever seen Akira Kurosawa's Sanshiro Sugata?

IMPOSSIBLE. Segata Sanshiro does not kick. He judo-throws...

Japan is the oldest country in the world. Is there even a modern Japan?
nico nico nii
Disappointed Turtle Yeah, whoever is not playing a Saturn, he's gonna come up to you like "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru." and they're gonna be like "Nani?!", and then Segata beats the shit outta them.
More accurately he's future japan beating current japan in the style of old Japan (He's beating them for not playing video games)
It's old Japan that has grown attached to video games beating the crap out of non-video game modern Japan
Although probably unlikely, they really should have him in Smash. Hearing him tell Mario "Sega Saturn shiro!" would be hilarious.
***** I'd keep both for double the NINTENDO BEATDOWN! SEGATA SANSHRIO!
+Anonymous _ Thing is, Segata is the true mascot. Why attack Nintendo when he could attack the one that replaced him? And what's wrong with Nintendo?
+Anthony Johnson Ironically, he's going to be in a Nintendo handheld due to Project x Zone 2.
+Billy Moore His final smash gotta be throwing every player that on the screen and as they impact they exploded.
+Shazam1414 And Nintendo's "mature" characters have been announced to be in the game as well.
Hiroshi Fujioka was the original Kamen Rider, and also Segata Sanshiro! This guy sure has a history of being a badass.
You want to know the funny thing, Cannonically, Segata Sanshiro is actually an alternate identity for Hongo Takeshi / Kamen Rider Ichigo
He's a pretty strong warrior on the outside, but on the inside, he's a charmer.
It is said in the sacred text that one day, Segata Sanshiro will return and lead Sega to greatness
Yeah, but he already has -- Project X Zone 2.
Excalibur from soul eater hooray. But yeah he is in Project X Zone 2.
Lord knows SEGA needs him now more than ever, Sonic can't fight this battle alone
That day is almost apon us.
His son has taken his legacy. The torch has been passed.
We all strive to be like Segata Sanshiro.
Now now, I hate Sony as much as the next SEGA Fanboy... but you have to let it go ;).
To train ourselves into an army of Japanese Chuck Norrissi (multiple for Chuck Norriss) is not the answer. Fucking cool, I agree and totally awesome ... I concur...
Just not the answer XD.
DehnusNorder There is no Chuck Norris army, he is the army.
Arxoan Nixtram
And that is why he will loose, he has no spirit of cooperation like SEGATA when he works together with himself. SEGATA is just the more powerful :).
RIP Segata Sanshiro
In our hearts, we will always play SEGA Saturn.
He alive mate no kid
Hey, even butler knows better!
He didn't die,moments after death touched segata,segata went back into the atmosphere but death died.
Did you know he made an appearance in some noodle commercials?
@Adolf Hitler pc sucks get a mac
First, the OG Kamen Rider... Years Later, the great Segata Sanshiro
My respects for the legend Hiroshi Fujioka!
Other companies: Buy our console its good!
Sega: Buy our console or Segata Sanshiro will kick your ass!
segata sanshiro did not fight for sega to become what it is today
bankrupt
Sega isn't even CLOSE to being bankrupt lmao
At least Sega is starting to improve so he sort of succeded
@@chuckordinaasserordaorwhat7682 yeah thank goodness
@@TelekineticKhai I mean imagine if the company that at one point made games at their peak became the ass of gaming
SEGA has so many iconic characters, and yet they keep milking the crap out of sonic, Segata Sanchiro should return whit his oun game, or appear as a smash bros character.
+Jorge Vila He should be in yakuza, kazuma kiryu would finaly have a worthy opponent.
+NIELS MICHIELS he should be in sonic boom fire and ice just to make the game better
+Jorge Vila Thanks to NC, I almost guarantee there's going to be an influx of requests.
+Jorge Vila Segata Sanschiro: the video game, now thats am epic idea for agme, SEGA ,please take notes
Catchy Jam 1994X better than Pepsiman!
He died to save Dreamcast, but it was all in vain...
Not in vain. The Dreamcast and Saturn (and basically all of Sega's consoles) legacy's is still alive. Even if these consoles didn't succed in their times, today all the community of gamer praise them for bringing in excellent games in video game history.
You did not die in vain Segata!
@@MoreAwsomeMetal Still waiting for a Sega Saturn Classic, but from I what I understand, Sega lost the assets and code for a lot of the extremely popular games on the Saturn (i.e. Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, and, I think, Sakura Wars)
I know for a fact they lost the arcade House of the dead code.
I find it bizarre how a company would do that ...
And yes, pretty much every Sega fan wants a Saturn classic now.
Heck I would even take a Mega CD collection!
I will be getting the megadrive classic as it is the best console ever made but even I know it's been done to death for re releases.
He did not die at 10:20 there is a shooting star which is actually him falling from orbit.
Well, look on the bright side. At least he got to make his big comeback in Project X Zone 2. 😅
Does anyone else tear up at the last commercial? Oh and the Saturn controller had the best D-pad of all times.
Right on both.
Legend says that when he returns...the world would become whole once again. There would be now war, sickness, poverty and famishe.
I know you meant to write "no", but from what it says now, it sounds like the world wouldn't change at all.
@@DanielAyy oh shoot i did not notice, thats a funny typo those lmao
He would have saved Sega Saturn if they aired those here.
Or made Swayzak as awesome as him; and if they showed what Swayzak looked like (he's just a voice.)
probably not as the Saturn was selling badly at the time of these commercials airing.
@@GiordanDiodato Not really as in Japan, the Saturn was outselling the PS1 until FFVII was released
@@GiordanDiodato not really, thanks to a lot of JRPG and Arcade port game, Saturn can compete with PS1 in japan (even tho PS1 still wins in the end)
@@PeruvianPotato I meant outside Japan.
Segata Sanshiro is a great man. I mean sure he beats the ever loving crap out of you and tells you to play Sega Saturn, but at least he leaves you the whole game system next to your beaten up body.
Understandable. I mean, how can you play Sega Saturn without a Sega Saturn?
@@JoaoLucasK Emulator
@@MJ-uk6lu But does he approve of emulators?
@@JoaoLucasK Who cares? If you don't play Saturn, he's going to smack you. So you better just do it however you can.
I'd take a wicked ass-beating if it means I get a Free Saturn with controller and at least one good game to play on it.
If Segata Sanshiro ran for president. I'd vote for him. Just imagine him kicking every World leaders ass at the U.N?
Not a native-born American, so he's out for my country. Which is disappointing, because I am not impressed with the current crop :/
take that Vladimir Putin
+TVR Chimaera (4.5L V8)
Yes! Free Saturns for everyone! :D
+Adam Hovey I'll be glad if they made an exception
He would be a breath of fresh air for the labour party
Why don’t we have commercials like this anymore, man?
Man this is what Nintendo should've done with captain N the game master.
But now that I think about it, segata Sanshiro is probably the true game master
The virgin Captain N VS. The chad Segata Sanshiro
Sega of Japan’s main building has really strong glass windows.
MrOmegatronic Physics simply do not apply to Segata.
Supermagnificence no its the laws of segata sanshiro that applies to physics time and space,because if they don't play sega saturn or obey him, he will beat the crap out of physics.
*FUCKS UP AN ENTIRE NIGHT CLUB*
*IN ONLY 3 MOVES*
*NOW THAT'S A BADASS !!!*
We will never forget you, Segata! We'll ironically forget the Sega Saturn, but YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON!
+srbarkerchan if you remember Segata Sanshiro, you will always remember the Sega Saturn, even his name is an anagram of Sega Saturn
+srbarkerchan nostalgia critic :D
nostalgia critic eh?
We need somebody like him to keep the quarantine in effect around the world.
Segata Sanshiro's final sacrifice brought tears to my eyes.
I am committing myself to collecting Sega Saturn and Segata Sanshiro goods from now on.
He's the hero we didn't deserve.
I love Sega so damn much. I didnt even realize.
They totally recreated the Sakura Wars commerical in Project X Zone 2!
#bringbackSegataSanshiro
#BringBackSwayzak Sanshiro + Swayzak = double the awesome
Sega Shiro: Sega da yo!
He did
He's actually makes his appearance into SEGA 60th Anniversary Web-series
@@dpquitterie damn this is cool
I have to give it a look
Thank you PROJECT x ZONE 2 for introducing me to a LEGEND
Same here. :D
This is such a sad and memorable story. We will remember segata sanshiro
Legit cry every time I see his sacrifice. What an absolute legend.
This guy must have a comeback.
he's dead bro
@@cumekira70 Not according to Project X Zone: 2.
Literally the only reason I own that game is because he is in it. I know nothing about any of the other characters, or the plot, or anything. Segata Sanshiro is officially a box office draw.
@@1krani Wright doe...
when Kamen Rider Ichi-go tells you to play your Saturn, you fucking play your Saturn.
"The solitary man who devoted his soul to gaming, Today he returns once more."
Never have these words rang truer since SEGATA SANSHIRO IS CONFIRMED FOR PROJECT X ZONE 2!
The Sega Saturn might not have done great, but we can all agree that Segata Sanshiro did amazing. If nothing else, he will outlive us all for being such a legend.
So that's why Saturn did well in Japan... Everybody bought it out of pure fear.
Maybe, according to Boomstick, that shooting star really was Segata, only when he fell he accidentally found himself in the game world
Segata Sanshiro should have been a hidden character in every Saturn game, and he should have had over the top abilities and attacks. Even in the US not knowing him, he seems really cool and bad ass, with a good sense of humor.
The zombies from the House of the Dead ad....later became the Segata Sanshiro Army.
Segata sanshiro, gone but not forgotten in our hearts.
I'm telling you, if we got the Segata Sanshiro commercials in the USA, I know a lot of people who would have bought one including myself. I didn't get my Saturn till much later.
But SEGA hardly promoted it at all let alone give it cool commercials. They didn't learn their lesson either cause Dreamcast was barely promoted outside of magazines.
But Segata Sanshiro will forever be in our hearts and minds.
So things fade off in time, but Segata is forever.
330 Likes vs 1 Dislike. Who else is willing to bet that the dislike was that evil scientist guy in the last commercial?
3 dislikes now... I'm segata sanshiro punished them for it though, so its all good.
It's clearly Shocker from Kamen Rider. Five dislikes
5 people... really should have just bought a saturn...
The person who acted as Segata Sanshiro also acted as Kamen Rider 1 in 1971.
i wonder if that guy works for nintendo? maybe its someone we never heared of
To anyone interested, Segata Sanchiro will be in Project X Zone 2!
Sanshiro -_-
Area 51 guards when only 10 people came: *hapiness*
But they are all Segata Sanshiro clones: *Oh shi..*
5:29
Honestly if Segata brought me a Japanese Sega Saturn with shining force 3 I would cry tears of joy.
they should of had him in virtue fighter
+AnthraxRooster VF and VF2 both predate Segata Sanshiro.
+Saturn Memories oh did it.... I have a question for the Saturn when I was a child what was the cartridge thing on the back of the console about?
***** A couple different things. First there were 1M and 4M RAM expansion carts that allowed for extra frames of animation in certain games (mostly fighters). Second there were memory cartridges. Lastly there were carts that combined both of these functions AND allowed your system to play games from all regions.
***** No. I'm pretty sure the Segata Sanshiro ad campaign launched in November '97. Megamix came out in December '96.
+AnthraxRooster *should have
Segata Sanshiro > Chuck Norris
Deathbattle: yes but actually no
@@aaronjones6299 no, but actually yes
S-Segata... He died a hero... He saved the Dreamcast. But he knew many would play the Saturn. And we still continue Segata’s legacy by playing the Saturn. We will always remember Segata. He was hero since the beginning, and a hero to the end.
Segata sanshiro didn't discriminate. Men, women, children. If you weren't playing sega saturn he was gonna kick that ass!
6:17 Sakura is so cute
Man, Segata Sanshiro is the manliest thing since chesthair
Funny that he is promoting playing video games and hates all sports. Seems to be the rather physical type himself.
It's what happens when you *Punch buttons all day* and carry around an *oversized saturn* on your back ;3
Correction: He hates not playing Sega Saturn.
DOSRetroGamer
Video Games actually can help you in some sports like Darts and Baseball.
Segata Sanshiro needs his own game.
He has two. Segata Sanshiro Serious Game for Saturn and Segata Sanshiro Superhuman Legend for PC/Mac.
>Segata Sanshiro Serious Game
Well I'm sold right from that title
Armands Šiliņš segascream.com/segata-sanshiro-choujin-densetsu/ Derp.
Saturn Memories how do i play it
He actually had his own game on the Saturn.....It was unfortunately Japanese exclusive.
Segata Sanshiro is a true inspiration. RIP..
Can we talk about how insane this marketing strategy was? Like, holy shit….
I got teared eyed with the last part. The Saturn was basically dead but till the end Segata was still reminding us to play the SEGA SATURN even though it was a failure.. Thank you Segata Sanshiro .
It wasn't a failure in Japan
Why em I crying...Segata....Sanshiro!!!!! You are my greatest Hero!
i'm like 3 years late but i just wanna say that i agree with you xd
@@mbn0074 i'm like 5 years late but i just wanna say...thank you.
Segata is also the original Kamen Rider
Bro took out shocker and then became a mascot for SEGA. Ain’t that crazy
Kamen Rider Ichigo right after he retired from being a Kamen Rider
Ex-aid Should take his place.
yeah that would have been cool
Leo Lim What about Kamen Rider Ichigata (Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation)? He’s supposed to resemble Ichigo. Here’s why:
-His Progrise Key is Zetsumetsu/Rocking Hopper, which is similar to Ichigo’s derivation from Shocker.
-His muscular body and color schemes.
-He uses a cyclone to transform.
-He is a Humagear/cyborg.
-His name has the number 1 in it, much like Super-1.
Oh crap its Kamen Rider 1 EVERYONE RUN!!!
(Fact: The same person who acted Segata Sanshiro acted Takeshi Hongo in the 1971 show Kamen Rider.
Hiroshi Fujioka I'm not stupid
Nothing like good beating to make them realize how awesome Sega Saturn was!
I'm just waiting for the movie. It would be awesome, right?
Yeah. I'd be cool to have a movie where a guy beats innocent bystanders out doing physical activities like playing sports and dancing and then telling them to go home and play Sega Saturn, and to have that guy be the hero.
+peter krug I mean that's every RPG game. you kill everyone and you're rewarded.
They need to bring him back, make a new Sega console to compete with XBox, Ps4, and Wii!! And Segata will return from his reentry through the atmosphere
>SEGA
>compete in the console shitfest
>2016
lul
He also played in a tv show called Kamen Rider & Kamen Rider V3 which was a sentai series. like power rangers just more physical combat and very great motorcycle action scenes. if you ever watched the Gyver Movies then that would be close to what those shows were like...dark, lots of action and awesome stunt work.
Came here after watching that Sega Shiro Ad and Fun Fact: that guy who played Shiro is *Actually* Segata's *Eldest Son*
Go search it up if you want
Over the last few years Sega has started to make a real comeback. Going from producing failure after failure and almost going bankrupt to putting out nothing but hit games and movies. How did they make such a fast comeback after decades of constant failure? There's but one answer. *He* has returned
Kamen Rider beats up innocent people in the name of a dead console for 10 minutes
I saw these ads on a youtube channel for old video game ads and instantly fell in love. Some of the ads here are much shorter than the full length ones though- notably the soccer ones start out serious and fake you out into thinking it's going to be a real ad until segata randomly shows up. But these are definitely high quality and with subtitles, which is amazing in it's own right
What TH-cam Channel?
@@Mikashi27 th-cam.com/channels/JncQXTGRqodaV1wZIF5WoA.html
They also have a site in their "about" page that has timestamps for every video naming the game and video source, etc
the longer ads can be found in the 1998-1999 sega saturn video
