Retro-Bit Reveals New Artwork, Localization, and English Translation for this one-time Limited-Edition SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive Collectors Cartridge Release
MONTCLAIR, Calif. - Californer -- Retro-Bit® Publishing is excited to announce that Undeadline, one of the most sought-after shoot 'em ups of all time, will be getting its first official release outside of Japan in a limited-edition collector's set for SEGA Genesis® and Mega Drive consoles. Pre-orders are now open and will run through August 10th, 2025, priced at $59.99 in the United States, €69,99 in Europe, and $84.99 in Canada.
Released on the Mega Drive in 1991, Undeadline is an upgraded port of T&E Soft's horror-themed shoot 'em up that debuted on the MSX2 computers. It takes us to Zidane, a once-peaceful kingdom that has been overrun by demons and monsters after the evil Count Brahzen attempts to revive one of the ancient living weapons of Ragnarök. It's up to a brave and mysterious warrior named Leon to fight his way through graveyards, sewers, haunted forests, the lava-filled mines, and other monster-infested stages in a quest for the Spirit of Roshufa.
A mix of fantasy and fast-paced shoot 'em up action, Undeadline is best known for its intense difficulty and massive boss fights. The critically-acclaimed shooter earned high marks for its "Eye-zapping graphics" (Sega Pro), "incredible, lovely power-ups" (Mega Drive Advanced Gaming), and role-playing elements, allowing players a chance to upgrade Leon's strength, magic, dexterity, and agility between levels.
Undeadline will mark its first official release outside of Japan with a new localization by Nathan Deren, translated into English by Jonathan Antonioli. The limited-edition collector's set will also come with a Midnight Soul cartridge for play on Genesis/Mega Drive consoles, a full-color instruction manual, individually-numbered commemorative slipcover, and a celebratory art card set from Zander Martinez of Zander6Comix, who will also be featuring exclusive artwork for the reversible cartridge inlay sleeve.
