@mccribb Год назад

Thank you so much! Music and that DEEP BASS was so good in the arcade, that's the biggest QOL upgrade any version of this could've hoped for. You guys are amazing for putting these together. Also love how you lined up the player sprites' height line to the arcade, to give an illusion of the arcade's sprite size. SUPER job!!

@juanjoserivasgarcia2336 3 месяца назад

Billy, you are the creator,? aawesome work man. I have a question for you, the arcade music seems limited for those ones with expensive everdrive cartridges, so Iwas wondering, There is not a chance to add the option to run the music froma CD, using a SEGA CD? I shared the same idea with The developer of Doom Resurraction , and he Managed to add this option and is awesome cause the performance of the game gets even better. Best Vibes¡ I hope you like the idea :) credits please xD lol

I agree about the acid pool stage. It looks like it went dark the same way it does when you pull off a fatality.

@terrylodge4846 Год назад

Metalhead was awesome!

@nathanc6516 Год назад

I like how they raised the characters up on the screen so that the height of their head matches the height of the arcade characters'. The sprites are still smaller, but it feels more like the arcade proportionally.

@quinnhofmann5399 Год назад

I was thinking that too. The grade of the ground is a little different so the smaller sprite size looks the same so it's like looking from further away at a slightly higher line of sight. Nice use of forced perspective to create that illusion. Look the same relative to background

I grew up in the mid 90s. While I love the 8 and 16 bit era I have absolutely zero interest in earlier consoles, such as the Atari 2600. It’s 2023. I think a lot of people now see these 30 year old games as I saw the 2600. This type of content is for niche.

@Thor-Orion Год назад

@@poopy_fingers3324 I disagree. Sprite art from the 16 but era is still beautiful and the games have depth and are infinitely replayable. World of difference between artistic representations of what they’re depicting. With 2600 and 8 bit stuff there is a ton of interpretation and imagination required, whereas with the 16 and 32 bit stuff it’s clear visually with often timeless music.

Lots of coding skills could make that happen, the only thing is re-coloring the sweat to red just doesn't feel the same cause when you pit fatality an opponent, no sweat are seen and in the arcade the blood were suppose to fly when an opponent hit the spikes.

8:09 SFII:SCE and SSFII got this upgrade. For SCE, you can add the arcade or 3DO soundtrack to the Remastered edition. You can also add either soundtrack to a patched version of SSFII with better colors. While I still can't think of a good reason to play this over Super Turbo on the Saturn, it's nice to have.

@SeveredLegs Год назад

I think SSF2:TNC is a better overall game than Super Turbo. ST is so wacky and unpredictable.... Practically gimmicky. TNC is a more balanced traditional fighting game.

@mscottjohnson3424 Год назад

There are so many excellent MK hacks out there! And a lot of them are for the Sega ports. One of the best (for me) is an UMK3 one that requires it's own emulator for all the stuff in there. It's almost an MK Armageddon of all the MKs for Mega Drive, and is glorious. There are many versions and names, but the main one was "Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy". I think that later the code was even polished so it would fit a real cartridge. Just amazing!

@JoeBuk724 10 месяцев назад

This looks really cool I’ll have to try it out. I’ve always loved the Arcade intro, especially the music. I have it for Saturn (which i know ur not a fan of) and i’d let the intro play a couple of times sometimes. The MK music in general is good tho, it’s nice to hear all the old tunes in their Arcade glory. I agree too, variety is always a good thing. The player having choice will always be better than none.
