Re: Gunstar Heroes Developer Treasure On Why Mega Drive Is Better Than SNES

city952

Sega fan boys always bring up early snes slowdown but in raw power Snes games pull the pants down on Megadrive when looking at stuff like Hagane, Cybernator, Rendering Ranger, Super Metroid, DKC games and thats even before we talk the add on games.

The DSP chip used on launch games makes the SNES have a higher clock speed than the 68000 straight away. Racing games on megadrive are a joke compared to Nintendo’s machine as are the platformers. Any other distinct difference between the machines in favour of Sega is when you compare a direct port where the time or budget the developers had to covert to Nintendo is the causing factor.

The fact that bedroom coders who continue to attempt to covert Nintendo games to Sega like Ive seen Starfox, F Zero and now Final Fight, R Type etc is classic Sega short man syndrome. They cant let it go. SNES fans dont care - they have nothing to prove.

@TeamBigRig seems unlikely based on the price of sinden. Makes me think this is wii style remote tracking which would not be responsive. Bring on the reviews.

Agree with the other poster - all sequels should e included

@Razieluigi From what I recall when this was first showcased, developer mode is still an option which costs something like a one off fee of $19 to access? and you can switch between retail and developer modes as and when.

Its just they’ve now stopped the emulators being accessed under retail mode.

whats with the megadrive homebrew community ?

seems like they have a massive chip on their shoulder and so spend time and effort to try and ‘one-up’ the SNES and extract every last ounce of power from a 35 year old piece of tech.

From recent memory we’ve had Mario world on the megadrive, F-Zero, Final fight and now Starfox plus they’re upgrading games like Streetfighter and Mortal Kombat to try and make them graphically on par with the snes versions as if they can then run around saying ‘we’ve won the console wars!’

Get over it lads - if you want to play any of these games just pick up a snes or better still the arcade versions as they’re still superior and your machine makes fart noises.

@carlos82 hey carlos. the main advantage of mister is being able to get analogue output and zero lag. people moan about how hard 8 and 16-bit games were but i think this is a modern phenomenon that has arisen from emulation and the inherent lag in the hardware emulating and the lcd being played on.

play these games on original hardware with a crt and its soooo kuch easier to react and plau the games, thats how 8 year olds managed to do it.

SF2 on snes mini i just cannot get past Sagat for example, but on my snes and the monitor i use its doable. same with lap times on super marionkart

it really does make a massive difference over other options like a snes classic or a PC or xbox emulation
