The Genesis version just has a few still screens, then the credits fall on you (you can kick them off the screen), then the game loops.

I love the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games (Reborn was especially awesome) but sometimes that "Play this mission on the hardest difficulty where the enemy can destroy you before the into message leaves the screen" gets fucking old after the 100th time.

Besides which, I think Golden Axe does the "annihilate the 4th wall" thing better.

Pointing it out is futile.

I kinda like the honesty in the lead-up to that scene were Cliff says he's scared shitless. You don't often get that level of personal vulnerability in heroes—they usually just slough it off on daddy issues.

"It vasn't lies, Jenny. . .it was acting"

". . .doubly charmed."

UNBELIEVABLE!

The Shadow is the best 1940s Batman movie that never happened.
