Taro Yamada, or '''Rent-A-Hero''' is a [[fictional character]] created by [[Sega]] as the titular character for their [[Mega Drive]] game ''Rent-A-Hero'', and its subsequent remake/sequent ''Rent-A-Hero No. 1'' for the [[Dreamcast]]. However, as neither of these games were released outside of Japan, he is mostly known in the west for his appearance as an unlockable character in the [[AM2]] fighting game [[Fighters Megamix]].

Taro lives in the town of Corja in [[Japan]] with his mother, eccentric father and younger sister Alyssa, the family moved there after his father changed jobs, he received his Combat Armor by accident during their house-warming party, when he ordered pizza from 'Sensational Cafeteria' or SECA and instead received the suit, after realizing the suit gave him incredible strength and that he is required to pay for the armor, Tarp decides to become a hero for hire, performing various heroic tasks and odd-jobs for the townspeople of Corja.

}}Taro's debut, it is a top-down RPG game released for the Mega Drive in 1991, similar to many others of its ilk (i.e. [[Pokemon]]) only with a bigger emphasis on humour (your first battle is against your father wearing a dinosaur suit because he thought it would scare his party guests). The game featured the same graphic engine previously used in the development of [[Phantasy Star 3|Phantasy Star III]]. However, Rent-A-Hero had an unusual innovation for the genre.

The title, like many RPG games, was not given PAL or NTSC-U versions, or officially translated into English. An unofficial translation by an emulation group called Eidolon created a partial unofficial translation, but this translation is not complete, making it very hard the game from a certain point.


==Plot==
===Fighters Megamix===
Taro Yamada, or {{Nihongo|"Rent A Hero"|レンタヒーロー|Renta Hīrō}} lives in the town of Corja in Japan with his mother, eccentric father and younger sister Alyssa; the family moved there after his father changed jobs. He received his Combat Armor by accident during their house-warming party, when he ordered pizza from 'Sensational Cafeteria' or SECA and instead received the suit. After realizing the suit gave him incredible strength, and that he is required to pay for the armor, Taro decides to become a hero for hire, performing various heroic tasks and odd-jobs for the townspeople of Corja.
{{main|Fighters Megamix}}


==Release==
Taro is avaible in Fighters Megamix by defeating the 'Smart Guys' arcade mode, and is believed to be a palette swap of [[Pepsiman]], [[Pepsi]]'s mascot who appeared in the Japanese version of [[Fighting Vipers]], though he plays little like him. Rent-A-Hero is one of few characters to use projectile attacks (Janet from [[Virtua Cop 2]] is another), and is one of the strongest fighters. However, he has an additional handicap: above his life bar are battery symbols, that deplete the longer a fight lasts, if they deplete fully, Taro's armor will disappear. In this state, he will not be able to perform a number of moves, including all projective moves, and he will also take more damage.
''Rent A Hero'' was released for the [[Mega Drive]] on September 20, 1991, in Japan by [[Sega]].<ref name="Mega Drive Master List - Sega">{{cite web |publisher=[[Sega]] |url=http://sega.jp/fb/segahard/md/soft.html |script-title=ja:[セガハード大百科] メガドライブ対応ソフトウェア（セガ発売） |language=Japanese |accessdate=December 18, 2015 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121124020335/http://sega.jp/fb/segahard/md/soft.html |archivedate=November 24, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Famitsu - Rent-A-Hero MD">{{cite magazine |url=http://www.famitsu.com/cominy/?m=pc&a=page_h_title&title_id=7285 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160319035407/http://www.famitsu.com/cominy/?m=pc&a=page_h_title&title_id=7285 |script-title=ja:レンタヒーロー まとめ [メガドライブ] |magazine=[[Famitsu]] |publisher=[[Kadokawa Corporation]] |archivedate=March 19, 2016 |accessdate=August 29, 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> It was later released on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] download service on April 17, 2007.<ref name="Famitsu - Rent-A-Hero MD" />

A 'pseudo-remake' of the original Mega Drive game was released for the Dreamcast in 2000. Featuring same and similar events to Rent-A-Hero, this time adding Rent-A-Hiroko, a female counter-part of Taro, is somewhat similar to Sega's well-know Dreamcast RPG [[Shenmue]]. The fighting engine used for the game is the same used for Sega's [[Spikeout]] games and allowed you to receive hints via in-game email.

The fighting engine used for the game is the same used for Sega's ''[[SpikeOut]]'' games and allows the player to receive hints via in-game email.

The game was enhanced and given online capabilities by Coolnet Entertainment for the Xbox in 2003, and also translated into English for a North American release in what would have been the first ''Rent A Hero'' overseas release. However, the English version of the game was never released due to distribution problems, and the Xbox version remained only in Japan as had previously happened with the original Dreamcast version.

In 2008, the unreleased English-translated version of the game was leaked and appeared on torrent sites in an apparently complete state, with only minor text errors present. This version was very close to completion and was reviewed by ''GamePro'' and ''Electronics Gaming Monthly'' in February 2003. An unofficial English patch was released in 2023.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.timeextension.com/news/2023/05/dreamcast-cult-classic-rent-a-hero-no-1-gets-a-suitably-heroic-english-translation | title=Dreamcast Cult Classic 'Rent-A-Hero No. 1' Gets a Suitably Heroic English Translation | date=2 May 2023 }}</ref>

Rent A Hero No. 1, a remake of the original Mega Drive game, was released for the Dreamcast in 2000. It features similar events to Rent A Hero, this time adding Rent A Hiroko, a female counterpart of Taro. The fighting engine used for the game is the same used for Sega's SpikeOut games and allows the player to receive hints via in-game email.

The game was enhanced and given online capabilities by Coolnet Entertainment for the Xbox in 2003, and also translated into English for a North American release in what would have been the first Rent A Hero overseas release. However, the English version of the game was never released due to distribution problems, and the Xbox version remained only in Japan as had previously happened with the original Dreamcast version.

In 2008, the unreleased English-translated version of the game was leaked and appeared on torrent sites in an apparently complete state, with only minor text errors present. This version was very close to completion and was reviewed by GamePro and Electronics Gaming Monthly in February 2003. An unofficial English patch was released in 2023.[4]

Reception

[edit]

On release, Famitsu scored the Dreamcast version of the game a 30 out of 40.[5] IGN called it "a bordering-on-cheesy, yet outstanding action-RPG". They praised the 3D combat system, comparing it to SpikeOut and Shenmue, as well as "the meticulous attention to detail" in "around five large neighborhoods, each with plenty of houses, universities, and restaurants" as well as a video arcade with minigames. They also praised the animation and "brilliantly rendered graphics", concluding that "the gameplay is tightly focused, it looks great, and definitely has a soul".[7]

GameSpot called it a "wacky" game that is "definitely unique and uniquely Sega". They praised the battle system, comparing it to Virtua Fighter and Dynamite Deka, as well as the "admirable" camera work, "rock-steady 60fps" and "fluid" character animation. They criticized the character models for not looking "as nice as" Soul Calibur or Shenmue, but praised the environments for having "a texture quality that rivals" Sonic Adventure, indoor and outdoor designs that "are nothing short of breathtaking" and "a large number of suburban homes" where "each house is unique". They concluded that it is "a humorous, irreverent joy to experience" and a "surprisingly excellent game."[6]

[edit]

Taro is available in Fighters Megamix as an unlockable character. He is one of few characters to use projectile attacks, and one of the strongest fighters. However, he has an additional handicap: above his life bar are battery symbols, that deplete the longer a fight lasts, if they deplete fully, Taro's armor will disappear. In this state, he will not be able to perform a number of moves, including all projectile moves, and he will also take more damage.[citation needed]

On July 12, 2016, it was announced that Steve Pink will direct and co-write with Jeff Morris a film version of Rent-A-Hero.[8] There has been no news on this since.
