Lupin the 3rd Chronicles

About

Lupin the 3rd Chronicles is a Sega Saturn compilation of animated clips and character profiles tied to the iconic Lupin III franchise. Developer Spike assembled footage from the first two anime series and their corresponding films into a static menu system. Players navigate to view scenes, fight sequences, and behind the scenes notes on characters. The content is presented as a straightforward archive rather than an interactive game. The collection stands out for its sheer volume of early Lupin material in one place. It includes rare scenes from 1978’s original TV series and 1984’s first theatrical film. While the lack of gameplay limits broad appeal, the presentation feels polished for its era. Fans of the franchise appreciate the curation, though the 1997 release date means later films and series aren’t included. The Saturn version remains the most complete of its time.
