SuperSF2 on MD had less colours and awful sound BUT Ryu featured more animation frames in the intro than the snes. There was also some kind of extra option in time trial or something. Supernes SSF2 AV presesentation was crisp and vibrant, not quite cps2 standards but tolerable. As for the pads ahem...... it's what your accustomed to. Also snes SMASHTV. Awesome.

You had to become accustomed to a new button layout to the arcade. MD players didn't.

And STV was on both consoles.

Mega Man, no. Contra, I'm not sure but the name rings a bell, so perhaps. Breath of Fire I've never heard of, so probably not.

You've never heard of breath of fire? Jesus.

Indeed, but with SSTV MD owners lost the dual stick/pad layout of the original.
MD loses! ;-)

Did the MD get the Mega Man series, Breath of Fire games, Contra 3? They were good.

I'm fairly sure there is a Mega Man game on Mega Drive, but it's rarer than rocking horse shit.

My first ever experience of sf was on SNES. Feels so right having hard kick and punch on shoulders

hylian_elf

One game has a better/specific controller... While the SNES has the better standard controller that you use for all games... And the MD wins?

I don't get it.

I can't help with the RPG thing. I've never been a fan.

And as for the controller thing, I'm just talking about MD winning by having the better version of SSFII due to the controller. Although, that six button controller was excellent, and I can't imagine preferring the SNES controller. And as for my Arcade Stick...

No one else remember Turtles Tournament Fighters? It was an amazing amazing fighting game- I remember the animation being stunning. Also, wasn't Samurai Showdown on the SNES?

I remember it, loved it, but thought it was multi platform?

The Turtles fighting game was different on the Mega Drive.

The SNES one was excellent and much better than the MD game.

I always thought that looked cool but supposedly it was basically broken and therefore we can forget all about it. Eternal Champions was Sega only, right? I liked that as a lad, tried it a few months back and it was dire (barring one or two cool touches).

It was awful on MD.

Great game on SNES though.

Ah, fair point on controller.

Not liking RPGs and not being aware of a major game series, though?

Yossarian

Well, I also didn't own a SNES so didn't pay much attention to what was available for it.

Billy

Mentioning Final Fight on the SNES as something the MD didn't have is a bit of a moot point.
SNES version of Final Fight is only 1 player

, removed Guy, can only have 3 enemies on screen at once compared to 9 from the arcade.

MEGA-CD version put all the stuff back in that was taken out for the SNES, not really surprising it couldn't run on MD with the extra hardware though.

hylian_elf

@Yoss, re Breath. They probably don't stand up much nowadays, but at the time sone people preferred BoF to FF and Zelda games! But that's madnes. Still, it started off as a good RPG series. Shame they became shit by the PS2 era.

equinox_code

I've only just realised that both consoles had really, really awful names

And it still wasn't a patch on SoR 2 or 3.

hylian_elf

Captain Commando, mate. MD didn't have it. It was best of its genre.

Billy

Loved Final Fight arcade, but I still have all 3 Bare Knuckle games (SoR in JPN) and they are all great, possibly 2 being the best?

Billy

Elf haven't you already posted that?

hylian_elf

Billy, you got the names wrong way round. Bare Knuckle in Japan, I believe.

SoR 2 was great. SoR 3 I never got round to. Still, as you can tell, Captain Commando is my favourite.

Yeah, I'm just fighting Yoss. GET OUTTA MY WAY!!!!

hylian_elf

But SoR 2 has one of the best soundtracks ever. Maybe SoR 2 wins.

Billy

Probably should have worded it differently, I meant it was SoR but in Japan. I have all 3 bare Knuckle games still.

Billy

I reckon you and Yoss should do a 2D brawler tourney.

Love SoR2, found SoR3 to be disappointing.

One of the joys of SoR was the sheer number of different moves. From my research, CC seems to be severely lacking on that front.

LarryDavid

There was a Contra on the MD, Hard Corps it was called. It was a bit shit compared to Contra III though.

hylian_elf

I liked the characters and the bosses. The special moves as well. Don't remember SoR having lots of moves, it was a scrolling fighter so depth in moves was wasted anyway. Press attack ad infinitim and occasionally do jump and attack or special attack. I might emu it and replay.

Brooks

Really wish they'd reboot Alien Soldier.

Howdy, Stranger!
