And the ending was better too, which was always a nice bonus!

@Fernando Yanmar So you're saying the're hard to master?

@@matttherrien9608 Hard if you can't really get the right timing down... The SNES port was just totally over-packed and crammed with its 32 meg cart, and desperately needed a few extra megs of memory in order to help it store more frames of animation + more precise command inputs data; for better/smoother controls. A 48 meg cart, although VERY expensive would've been much more suitable. That prolly would've fixed the control issues! 🤨

@@OtomoTenzi both fatal fury and sf2 are too difficult for their own good

Really. Thats good

Yeah FF Special was awesome, I had more time with that game than a bunch of other fighters on the SNES. 😄👍

Yeargh, and Muscle Power's cheap grab 'n spin of DEATH... Who can ever forget that? 😆

Shutup

@@wessteinfeld3337 lol no thanks

Smell me

me too. that and gex is what made the 3do stand out to me.

One of the reasons I got a 3do back in the day, great port of a great game.

Same. Nearly arcade perfect port. Loved it and still do.

Yes, plus 3 whole minutes of LOADING... 💿💿💿

Aero Fighters on the SNES was just a tiny bit slower, but still pretty much arcade perfect tho...

Good choice I prefer it to street fighter tbh. I could never get a grip of all the special moves. I just wish the conversion of samurai showdown was better as that was my fav fighting game in the arcade. I spent so much of my pocket money on that machine

World Heroes wasn't fun on anything IMO.

It was bad then, and it's bad now.

The PS2 collection is better.

My family and friend would play who could reflect the most projectile. Fun times

I AGREE !

So many better games it wasn’t a bad game we were just spoiled for choice on the snes

Hey, that game was a gem cuz it had excellent controls and the learning curve wasn't that steep! 👍

It was developed by both companies, SNK even bought ADK later. So why not including them!

The Arcade version was better and didn't take near as long too use your special attack

@@j.t.thomas1859 The enemies in the arcade version also got up faster tho...

Larry Bundy Jr I love Ryo’s soundtrack on Fatal Fury Special! It’s even better than the original Neo•Geo

Totally agreed!

The original NeoGeo of that sucked!! SNES improved on that even more than they botched the music for Lee's stage.

@@famyemil Got to listen to that, then. I thought NeoGeo for Ryo was really good.

@@famyemil Just listened. MASSIVE disagreement.

My laundromat had a 4 slot with Metal Slug that I wore out as a kid. I can't for the life of me remember the other games tho. Turf Masters was one I think?

There's a translation patch for it, but I had completely forgotten about that because even on the translation patch page it says the game isn't a good port.

@@Projectwolfie21 I never played it, only know it from Neo Geo and can't imagine a good port. Still it belongs to this list.

IIRC there's also a port of Super Sidekicks for SNES

@@PAKA62 Besides it isn't a fighting game ;-), are you sure? I could not find anything about Super Sidekicks port on SNES. The Wikipedia article don't list SNES, but a bunch of other platforms. Maybe it wasn't an official port you saw.

@@thingsiplay Maybe he got it confused with another game called Tony Meola's Sidekicks? 🤔

The original Neo Geo version wasn't so so smooth either... It was developed by the makers of SF1. Then pretty much every game that came out after SF2 had much better/improved controls!

Both wh1 and 2 were great on the snes.

They were GOOD, only if you didn't have the Neo Geo versions to compare with them sided-by-side back in those days... But if you DID, you'd be quite disappointed! 😞

I didn't even know if was on genesis

I listed 11 things wrong with it in the comments, look it up.

World heroes and world heroes 2 were both great on the snes.

Also, actual Irish coffee helps.

@@adamsturtevant1938That sounds wonderful tbh ;3

And Geegus is basically the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

It's "Nippon ichi", which means "I'm the best in Japan".

@@awelcruiz lies

I always heard: "Me fighty!", and thought it was some kind of EngRish.

@@awelcruiz BEST IN THE WORLD... Especially if you consider the kinda UGLY HIDEOUS MONSTERS that most women have mutated into nowadays! 🤮🤮🤮

The PS2 got 2 collections that bundle both the original series and Real Bout perfectly if you have access to the system. Highly recommend.

Other than the censoring of blood.The Japanese packs are far more desirable as nothing got censored, other than that one topless Blue Mary animation whenever she fell in the water (no home port retained that).

Samurai Shodown on GB was good too which is more than surprising for such an ambitious port

Getting blasted right out of a VOLCANO??? Brutal indeed! 🌋😱🌋

Me too, hope it’s good

But where is Half-Life 3?

I'm just hyped Yoshitaka is back Gonna stabby stab stab some dudes online come June

Isn’t the Mega Cd version just the Mega Drive version with the missing character intact? I loved the 3DO port of this. Played it at a friend’s place. Had the scaling and chunky graphics.

The Sega CD version was ported by an entirely different developer and published by JVC. However, just like the Genesis version there's no scaling and the image is set to permanently zoomed in (which ruins the game for zoning type characters like Galford) and Earthquake is missing. Basically none of the ports prior the PS2 era is worth it.

The animation would've been watered down considerably and there'd be too much slowdown. Would've love to have played it on the SNES anyways.

@@gokuchamoy I could see a Genesis port being better.

Metal Slug had apparent slowdown problems even on the Neo Geo, so it's really hard to port it on the SNES or Genesis... It would need special enhancement chips and ALOT of extra RAM; which means it's gonna be EXPENSIVE!!!🤔

The SNES was actually fully capable of rendering all of the characters in their original 'BIG' arcade sprite sizes (64x64 pixels), but Takara CHEAPED-OUT and just shrunk 'em down anyway in order to save on cartridge space and development costs. A huge-ass 64 meg cart; complete with built-in enhancement chips + at least another 128 or 256 KB worth of extra auxiliary add-on RAM support would've fixed all or most of those shitty problems. I can almost guarantee that it would've turned out to be a VERY CLOSE port of the original; with HUGE sprites, all of the animations intact, better-looking backgrounds, much better controls, better hit detection, NO slowdowns, and CD-quality music/voice samples. But, a game like THAT would prolly cost ya like somewhere between $120-$150... Right up there with some Neo Geo prices, but still totally worth it tho! 🤑🤑🤑

Back then, in some arcades with special sit-down cabinets equipped with huge 50" projection monitors it costed like 8 quarters to play SSF2T... Kids were totally goin' CRAZY over it! 😆

+Dj.D I can tell you why. On paper the Neo Geo MVS sounds like a good idea, having up to 6 games in one cabinet, but what that does is bury the games within. All the cabinets are just red, as oppose to dedicated cabinets that have nice big artwork on the sides and a big title marquee on top, that draws your attention and shows you what the game is about as you walk by. Those small marquees on top the MVS are hard to see walking by and don't do the game justice. Having up 6 games in 1, only 1 at a time can be demo-ed on screen, so walking by, a shitty game might be displayed and people just keep walking by, as oppose to a good game being displayed and attract players. The game magazines did advertise Fatal Fury, Art Of Fighting, King Of Fighters, and Samurai Shodown heavily, but screenshots don't do these games justice, you have to play them to actually see that they are good and unique. With the exception of SamSho, which is unique with it's weapons fighting, the others look like cheap rip offs of Street Fighter, so why play them when you can play the better original fighting game? Also the Street Fighter characters are all winners, all iconic, where as the SNK characters were hit or miss. If you did a test and showed a picture of the characters from Street Fighter 2 to random people on the street, most people would recognize all of them. Where as with the SNK character most people would not know them; you might get some people who can recognize Terry, Mai, Nakoruru and Hoahmaru.

Street Fighter had a much longer following, and MK had alot of 'shock value' plus it was one of the very first games of its kind in America back in the early 90's.

Limited only by mere processor speed and cart size... Things could've been BETTER, ya know? 😉

The SNES was actually fully capable of rendering all of the SS characters in their original 'BIG' arcade sprite sizes (64x64 pixels), but Takara CHEAPED-OUT and just shrunk 'em down anyway in order to save on cartridge space and development costs.

The ultimate challenge NOW, would be to wait for interdependent hackers and modders out there to 'remake' all of these SNES ports and try to fix/improve/restore everything that was originally an issue or a problem with them... That will be THE DAY!!!

I played the Arcade version, and I still can't reach Geese.

@@kendonl.taylor5111 MOST people couldn't, to be honest... The MVS arcade difficulty setting made the computer AI in the last couple of stages HELLA CHEAP!!! When we finally made it to Geese and couldn't beat him, we would just let it GAME OVER on us and start over from the beginning instead; cuz the ending (with just 2 screens and a few lines of dialogue) was not worth watching anyway. 😥

The SNES and PC Engine CD ports are awesome.

Unless it was the Genesis version...

It's amazing how few people realize that, but continue to pound the drum that the Genesis port was the best thing since sliced bread. The Genesis Fatal Fury 2 port was far more solid than Sam Sho was on the Genesis.

camokazi1313 gameboy ports wore a little bit above “meh” Takara did an amazing job, and making it all Chibi was a stroke of genius. Game Gear SNK games played well, but looked like ass.

@@sloppynyuszi KOF '96 was excellent, WH2J was pretty good. The rest just didn't move the needle for me.

camokazi1313 WH is what I put most my mileage on, but I remember seeing Fatal Fury 2 on the GB the first time and then I played it, it was good, especially if you compare it to the other one on one fighters like Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombats and later in Killer Instinct, the Takara SNK ports were on another level.

As a kid I played the shit out of KOF 95 for Game Boy, it even had Nakoruru if you pressed "select" like 15 times when your started the game. The only problem I remember with this game is that Ralph was waaaaay too powerful, he had an infinite combo that was too easy to do. This one and "World Heroes 2 Jet" were the only SNK ports I had on Game Boy. After that I got a Neo Geo pocket color, and it was heaven...

I remember those, lol. Maybe I missed out because I only played alone. I got tired of it because it was so barebones. It definitely wasn't meant to be a single player experience. '96 on the other hand...

Unless you got fast hands Ryo is impossible to unlock in FF Special

@@thestardustgamer296 i had it. My boys used have me do it since i was the only really consistent pulling it off lol

Wouldn't have worked for either, too much animation for either console to handle well.

@@Bloodreign1 Even on the Neo Geo hardware, Metal Slug had some minor but apparent slowdown issues! How would the SNES even be handle Metal Slug? Just look at all the slowdowns in UN Squadron... Need I say more?

It was also censored in Japan, so that may have had to do with SNK of Japan's say so.

Violent sword battles that end WITHOUT blood or fatalities... How can anyone make sense of that? 🤔

Same!

Depends on where you live tho... Try countries like Burundi for example, and see if you could find ANY videogame arcades there, period! 🤨
