Unless you’re, say, a speed runner, 100% accuracy isn’t all that important. I enjoy retro gaming immensely, and everything out there to do so is more than satisfactory.
This one caused me some crazy hype when I bumped into it. Anytime someone does something crazy on any 16-bit platform that would’ve been nigh impossible in the 90s, I’m absolutely floored. Really excited to see where this goes and how other devs in the scene will continue to push the limits on the consoles of that era.
David Liu has some of the best art out there, fusing retro and modern styles into anime perfection. Man, if a new AVP ever drops under his art direction, it’s an instant buy for me. Took the bus almost daily to drop soooo many quarters when the original came out.
@Mrtj18 came here to say pretty much the same thing. SSF2T on Sega CD would’ve been huge. It’s a hefty order, but then again someone ported Real Bout to the Genesis, so I imagine it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
I wonder if there were any sort of prototype builds of any games for this version of the SNES. Though if there has been, probably got deleted/destroyed.
I remember seeing this in EGM and I couldn’t really get hyped since it didn’t do 3D. They really went all in on FMV for this. Surprised not even any 2D fighter arcade ports were released.
It’s kinda cool that in those Jaleco beat em ups, there were codes to unlock the Japanese versions. Made ya feel like you were playing an import. Huge for the EGM nerd I was haha.
One of those games that I wish I could’ve played in its heyday, on a CRT TV and all. I cast my lot with the PS1 though (no regrets, though I do wish I could’ve played the Capcom Saturn ports as well haha).
I wish I was one of those dudes who could reengineer tech like this. Was never good at messing with internals. I fried a friend’s PS1 trying to install a mod chip 😆
I’ve never dealt with the company, but their products seem cool (albeit, they crank out a new one seemingly every 3 months). Hoping this is an honest effort at better customer service.

I hope they enhance Samurai Shodown or Super Street Fighter 2 (or maybe some fans will once the Enhancement Engine is public).

Re: Random: The Guy Behind The Disasterous 'SuperSega' Is Back, And He Wants To Sell You A Wooden PC
And here I thought he had fallen into a dumpster full of disposed baby diapers, never to return to us. Ah well, wishful thinking.
Also, buying a highly customized niche PC in THIS dumpster fire of a PC economy? Big nah.

Re: Sega 32X Is Getting An Ambitious Elite-Style Space Exploration Game Called 'SignalFall'
I really do wish I knew how to (or had the time to learn to) dev for retro systems. I’d probably work on a 32X SSF2Turbo or something.

Re: Here's Why Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon & Tobal 2 Were Never Localised Outside Japan

Re: Gunbird And Rival Turf Are Coming To Polymega, Along With This Rare Arcade-Only Fighter

Re: Decades After Its Original Release, The Japan-Exclusive 'Super Robot Wars 64' Is Finally Getting A Fan Translation
One of the games I wished to import back then! Granted, I didn’t own an N64 (was jealous of my friend who did and had a converter 😂).
