I see. I’m as technical as it gets when it comes to fighting games, so I can confidently say that Champion Edition is definitely a more precise game than the other two, but the SNES version lives up to that competitive standard. It’s a very fun way to play the game, and the turbo toggle is neat. Always wondered why the SNES version seems to place the stages in 16:9? The SNES was more than capable of placing the arcade sprites on a 4:3 screen.
Looking at Street Fighter II, it’s a close and a bit complicated call.
The port of the original SFII to the SNES is worth about the same as a pebble because of how… mushy it all feels.
But when Hyper Fighting came around to replace Champion edition, we got SFII: Turbo on SNES and it is the best Fighting Game on the system by a long shot. It is essentially Turbo Champion edition with Hyper Fighting moves, a great soundtrack rendition and good balancing.
That being said, it’s not really a port of Champion Edition or Hyper Fighting, but a mix of the two, so it’s tough to say that it’s better or worse than either of its arcade counterparts.
It’s a game with a lot of history, and I enjoy playing it just as much as I do Champion edition and Hyper Fighting.
There is a port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo: The New Challengers but it’s a meh way to play the arcade version, so there’s not much to talk about there.
On an unrelated note, aesthetically this game is exactly what I think 80’s game remakes should look like, especially the anime looking ones. It’s still distinctly from the era without looking archaic. This is just genuinely cool art and novel to look at. The night club screenshot had me doing the cartoon-eyes-popping-out thing but that might just be me and my specific tastes though 💀
Genuine question: is this somehow just a watered down Famicom detective club? Looking at the concurrent dates and platforms, screenshots, characters and locations… this just strikes me as Famicom detective club as if handled by another company. Maybe because I’m sick right now, I’m just seeing things and this could actually be the cool thing I imagined it to be upon announcement, but man if this is just a Famicom Detective Club Ripoff I’m actually gonna be sad because I love FDC but I don’t think buying these games is going to be worth it
@EarthboundBenjy Most NES games are prone to heavy lag and low sprite limits that cause that noticeable tearing and line flashing. Porting these games to the SNES makes it run without any graphical issues, improving the overall gameplay. In addition, this version of the game can be modded easier by others to add graphics and music through the MSU-1 chip. There’s a lot of use to this, especially for Famicom games that have lackluster North American ports, like Metroid which has an extra channel of sound and a save menu in Japan.
This is AWESOME! Rediscovered promotional content from old video games is one of my favorite things to see! Star fox lives on in my heart, so seeing this game in the spotlight is special to me ✨ 🦊 🐸 🐦 🐰 ✨
I've loved seeing all of the re-released games in the news section! I played This game as a young kid, and thought it was fun. Going back to it I see the genius game design, and other eye catching things. It's always fun to revisit something old with a new perspective.
This is cool, and I know there are plenty of Dragon Warriors cartridges out there, but seeing collections with multiple copies of a game that people really like makes me upset. This is the opposite of a video game conservationist.
It's a true shame people like him get remembered mostly for the grand mistakes they make. Bubsy as a series may not have been perfect, but imagining a 90's without Bubsy is very difficult. Rest in peace.

SFII: Turbo on the SNES had huge tournaments across Japan, and there’s an official tape containing the majority of the important matches here https://youtu.be/5J0lDzqLeaM?si=YsGYjfaxYq4QVRRb

@FX29 Oh! That’s good to know! I think I might pick it up then.

Re: 'Cyber Citizen Shockman' Getting First Western Release Later This Month
I genuinely love little obscurities like this! I already had the Shububinman game that came out on the PCE, so I think I'll skip on this one.

Re: Atari Buys Rights To Over 100 Retro Games Including Bubsy
IMAGINE A BUBSY CLASSIC COLLECTION.
...I get that it would be worth next to nothing, but we might see new Bubsy. That alone makes me happy.
Re: Henk Rogers And Alexey Pajitnov Pick Their Favourite Versions Of Tetris
Super Tetris 3 was my favorite before Tetris Party Deluxe came around. My love for that game will never die. And that soundtrack is still amazing.
