Description

"Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS: Various Emotion" is a fighting video game released for the Sega Saturn in 1996, developed by Angel Studios and published by Bandai. The game is based on the popular anime and manga series "Sailor Moon," specifically drawing from the "SuperS" season, which focuses on the adventures and battles of Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) and her fellow Sailor Soldiers against various antagonists. In the game, players can select from a roster of characters, each with unique moves and magical attacks, including Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus, along with lesser-known characters from the series. The objective is to defeat opponents in one-on-one battles, progressing through stages to ultimately confront and defeat the powerful Queen Nehellenia.

The game is notable for its adherence to the anime's art style, featuring vibrant graphics and animations that closely mimic the look and feel of the show. "Various Emotion" includes both a story mode and a versus mode, allowing players to either follow a plot-driven sequence of battles or engage in fights against other players or computer-controlled characters. Gameplay mechanics are typical of fighting games of the era, with a combination of basic attacks and special moves powered by a magic meter. Although the game was primarily released in Japan and remained a relatively obscure title in the West, it has since gained recognition among fans of the series and retro gaming collectors for its faithful representation of the "Sailor Moon" universe and its rarity as a collectible item.
