Forgotten Games: Rendering Ranger R2 - SNESdrunk 

Thanks

Totes

+1 on this comment, appreciate yr work so much if ONLY for Front Mission Gun Hazard being one of the best games i've ever played in my life. my SNES Classic and gaming life in general is much improved by your work

Ghost81 the reason why is because no one else wanted to touch the game only the Japanese arm of Virgin interactive, plus probably because the 16 bit systems were on the wane, when this game came out it was all about the PS1 and Saturn

@r771 q3 everywhere it says it's developed by rainbow arts

Harambe likes you

The developer said that if you make a good work programming on SNES is possible, in fact SNES is not a "turtle" as some say.

the difficulty is very fair, great game, and amazing technical achivement

I like this game but there something about the graphics that bugs me like compared to other 16bit shooter's this game animation for character's and enemies are lacking look at thunder force 4 a game released in 1992 3years before this game and that game everything looks smooth while rendering ranger r2 looks like a cut down version of an arcade game let's face it if the characters were smoothly animated like other games of the same genre the SNES would crumble

You recieved Alien Soldier... in the crappy Sega Channel service.

Probably cause it was a late lifespan release and sega had no idea what they were doing with so many consoles on the go

You aren't lying. Also, Super Nes had better and more rpgs and adventure. Genesis no doubt had the action games on lockdown. Shmups, run n guns and beat em ups, just as you mentioned. Look at it this way, Snes had Square and Genesis had Treasure.

Arguably, because I would rather play U.N. Squadron, Super Aleste and Parodius Da! than any Genesis shmup. And I like Contra III more than any Genesis run 'n' gun, regardless of how technically impressive they are. Also, I think Turtles in Time more than stands up against Streets of Rage 2, although, I can't argue with anyone who wants to claim Streets of Rage 2 is the greatest beat 'em up of the 16-bit generation and possibly ever. Lastly, SNES had all those first party games, and it has the best platform games, and the best RPGs, and arguably the best racing games too (I would absolutely rather play F-Zero and Super Mario Kart than any racing game on Genesis). And I'd rather play all of those games with the SNES controller, even the Genesis ones.

"Outdoes" in terms of visuals, yeah. But I'd still rather play Gunstar Heroes.

this game does make me believe for sure that snes could run either gunstar or alien soldier with no slowdown(just need a good developer like Trenz). interesting alien soldier and rendering ranger r2 were never released in north america. the best graphic games on both systems, haha

Because way "too hard for Americans", remember XD

wish this developer would re-due final fight for snes. he could make it 2 players, 5 ememies on screen, no slowdown. Rendering Ranger is the most technically impressive 16 bit game imo

It multiple ways it definitely does. In some other ways they get the win. Either way, it slaps the face of anyone who just automatically claims the SNES is "slow" and can't do lots of intense action without slowing down and other such rubbish. And, the most impressive thing of all, it's doing all of this in SlowROM on SNES, which means it's running at around 70% of the SNES full potential--crazy!

Overall though, this genre is better left on a faster console like the Genesis.

Nah. All the best ones were on Arcades.

Guy was an Amiga + C64 coder. Coming from those platforms to the SNES would have been like being in a toy shop. He was used to getting the most of limited platforms. SNES with 128 sprites would have been easy for him. Amiga and C64 both have 8 sprites that need to be multiplexed

Not only that, it runs in SlowROM, which means it's only using around 70% of the SNES full potential. Ponder that for a moment. . . .

It's interesting because people can argue that Hard Corps, Alien Soldier and Gunstar Heroes are better run 'n' gun games than say the Super Star Wars games, and I'd say they are right, but I bet you the Super Star Wars trilogy on SNES got more people excited about playing run 'n' gun on that console than any of those Genesis titles ever did for Genesis, in terms of enticing customers towards one console or the other. But I'd still rather play Contra III than all of them anyway.

Thanks Jimmy! If I'm playing it, either I'm doing a video about it or I've already done a video about it. I only really play modern games on Steam, right now I'm currently obsessed with Stardew Valley, so there will be a couple videos on that sometime in the coming weeks (gotta stick to the schedule)

it's not that difficult really, and i suck at shumps (i don't have crazy skill in most any games), i've beaten it with just 1 password used (that's basically a continue) and with enough practice i think i could beat it with no passwords used. also you have a life bar, so no 1 hits deaths, and after a death you spawn right back there with your next life, no starting back at the beginning of a level. it's difficulty is very fair. great game!

Second on the repro; that's what they are made for! but I would pay close to 100 if I could find an original CIB

@@71dembonesTV An original CIB copy can reach $400

This game is expensive because when it first came out,no one want to buy it,who knows that nowadays, game like these are more expensive then when it first came out. :D

$2000 ;-;

Martin Hinson I disagree. It's definitely not worth the asking price on eBay or whatever but it is a great game that's worth playing. If it ever was a cheap, obscure game it would have already been elevated to "ULTIMATE HIDDEN GEM" status by one of the "gaming celebrities" on RU-vid and be expensive as hell anyways

I don't think it's a great game to play, although not bad, but it is definitely one of thee most all round technically impressive games of the 16-bit generation, across both SNES and Genesis.
