The last few seconds are most disappointing. I'd prefer it if Sega just put out a Model 2 / 3 / and Naomi / Hikaru collection with Planet Harriers since those platforms haven't been emulated well, but I guess there are licenses. Nobody has to license ducks.
Re: Modern!? Space Harrier from Yu Suzuki. There's a giant duck
I still haven't played the new TR games. The last I played was the duology of Legendary and Underworld. Legendary started out strong but Underworld dropped the ball. It's a decent game, but it didn't make an impression as much as Legendary, if I remember correctly. Those two focused on Norse mythology before it was cool.
