For a little background on what exactly is going on here, you can check out Part 1 and Part 2.

If you're having trouble viewing the video because it's choppy, try watching it here.

Here it is, the moment no less than ten of you have been waiting for. That's right, it's the first 45 minutes or so of Beggar Prince, the first new Sega Genesis game to hit North America since 1998.

I don't want to give everything away here, but let's just say that I didn't get quite as far into the game as I thought I would. It's safe to say that I may have gotten a tiny bit further had I read the directions, but that wouldn't have been as much fun! Actually, I don't think directions would have helped all that much...

The video's pretty long, and I was going to zoom through a few parts, but decided against it--I wanted you to have the same experience I had. Hopefully it's good enough to keep you entertained, and if not, feel free to skip around. Watching an old-school RPG probably isn't for everyone.

So, what do you think? Is the Genesis poised for a comeback? Is bringing new games to an old system a good idea, or will the practice never yield anything more than quirky, below-average games?
