The 40 Most Creative Sega Logo Animations in Genesis/Mega Drive Games

There is no denying that Genesis/Mega Drive games had magic from the very presentation of the Sega logo!
Although many of these animations were no big deal, it is also true that some video game companies put a lot of innovation in the presentation of their titles from the very first seconds. Coincidentally or not, when the Sega booting cutscene was awesome, you instantly knew that the game was not going to disappoint you.
For this video I have thoroughly explored the legacy of Sega's 16-bit console, searching for the most deserving logo animations for their originality and artistic excellence. I hope you enjoy this selection and that it brings back some good memories, or that you discover some video games that escaped your radar.
In this video you will find:
• A game curation showing the most original Sega jingle intros in the Genesis/Megadrive catalog
• A preservation of Megadrive video games through their introductory screens
• Information related to each game such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on.
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation.
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of the video game and why you should play it

⚠️ All gameplay recording, game curation and opinions included in this video, as well as editing is completely done by me
Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you'll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.
Curation isn't just about digging up neat games, but it's also about preservation, interpretation, and using one's knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they're playing for the first time today.
I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.
Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.
I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!

I'm genuinely impressed at how cool Sega was about letting people screw with their logo. Most companies are obsessed with brand presentation and wouldn't ever allow this sort of thing. And in return, it turned into a thing that was really distinctive to the Mega Drive / Genesis.

I really do love how all these games could've just shown a plain, boring screen, but instead the developers decided that if they must show the Sega logo, they should at least have some fun and creativity with it. Also, was not expecting to get a laugh out of this video, but that last one was brilliant.
@savagedregime8176
@savagedregime8176 2 года назад
I think that dig on on the SNES in Battle Mania was because Vic Tokai allocated way more budget and manpower to SNES development, while this was the dev team's passion project they actually wanted to spend time on. So this was their way of venting some frustration.

I always liked Zero Tolerance’s logo and intro. It’s a very quick but neat 3D spinning Sega logo, but the way the music kicks in the second you power on the Genesis really set the tone for the game.

You missed on vector man, if you shot up at a specific angle you destroyed a tv, and you could collect a power to destroy the Sega logo. There was also a collectible mini game if you shoot the logo 24 times and headbutt jump it 12 times, then the more Sega icons you collect the higher the level you start on
