I was thinking.. the art style looks a bit like Metal Slug (especially the background styles, and the shading). then I saw your comment!

What is an alpha renewal version ?

@@PrinceofFreshia A super rare arcade PCB version. It has all moves and nude from Japanese arcade but with English translation.

yes lmao

Metroid

@@josephjoestar5444 Metroid is on my to play list for sure. I played SOTN a couple of years ago for the first time and it made me realize how much I enjoy the Metroid-Vania sub-genre. Been playing tons of different games in that style ever since. I don't have any Nintendo systems after the N64 so I might have to buy it for the SNES to be able to play it...or I might wait until I eventually get a Switch.

I really hope one day that someone out there decides to start translating instruction manuals, that would've helped in this case.

@@SNESdrunk Yeah, it really would. The only reason I know about them at all is because I was watching a speedrun, and saw the player breaking out some crazy moves I never saw before.

Is this still happening? When did they talk about it.

how do u do fellow teens, my name is brad… cooldude… and im definitely not a cop! what say you we grab a chocolate malt and then smoke some "dank nuggets"!?

@@soupalex nah man kids these days are about those electric cigarettes, y'know "vaking"

Don't forget the character named "Dooby" at 3:17

Because you want to have a great rest of your day hehehe

It always makes my day too!

There’s nothing wrong with simple when it’s so damn cool.

You're a meme. Grow up.

Best retro reviewer along with GGGMan.

I guess he's retired from the business of "Karate Mastery" and now he's just a Karate Enthusiast ;)

I also hear them called "super joy" for some reason. Not sure where the term comes from.

@@nightsong81 'cause using them makes you feel super happy, duh

Hello You.

larry bundy spotting. haha

That's why I got a wireless controller for my phone. It's turned my phone into a freaking NES/SNES/Famicom/Super Famicom/GB/GBA/NDS/PS1 powerhouse. I'd go full retro if I could afford it. I'm also obsessed with collecting rare VHS, so I understand the importance of owning physical copies, but for the expensive as shit cartridges, a wireless phone controller works *wonders!* It's like having a retro Switch, and you don't have to deprive yourself of any ridiculously overpriced hidden gems like Earthbound or Hagane or anything that didn't make it overseas that you can now play in English! It's something I'd recommend to anybody who watches SNESDrunk 👍🏼

There are repros with the English patch you can buy for around $30

Jules Ballard which wireless control are you using?

@@adrenalinex4 Mine is simply called an M1 Wireless Controller, and it's really worked wonders for me. I'm in the middle of Final Fantasy 7, a game I never thought I'd play again because I'm just that broke and will be for awhile considering my living situation, but thanks to this wireless controller (which was actually a gift from a friend, in case your wondering how I could afford one) I'm half way through the first disc, and that's not to mention the thousands of dollars worth of SNES games I'm revisiting from my childhood. Again, my controller was a gift from a friend, but if you have money like a normal person (unlike myself), you can get one for $30-$40 👍🏼

Jules Ballard it doesnt have any input lag?

I never saw games that high

they were still talking about this game in 2007? do you remember which issue mentioned it?

@@playafly316 no, they weren't. I was reading about it in an old issue of NP from the 1990's.

Amazon two hundred dollars lol. I thought imports are cheaper!!

Good luck finding it and if you find it prepare 700-800

vasilas432 yeah well aware of that. Own quite a few already and only getting more expensive year on year 😩

Only got that out of cammy (Street Fighter II), and Aska (TMNT TF) otherwise!

Night Slashers was a Resident Evil beat em up before PS1. Then again has common with Splatterhouse

@Ralf Van Bogaert Bad western releases of arcade games were sometimes used as a way to discourage reverse importing, since it was usually cheaper to import a game from a western distributor than it was to order the game directly from the publisher

The western release was literally just the Alpha build of the game. One of the designer of the game was asked about it in a French interview a few years back: he had no idea the game was released in that state in the west and speculated they used the Alpha instead of waiting for the finished game because Irem USA was badly hurting for cash (they would go bankrupt not too long after releasing the game)

So, it's a brawler where nobody knows how to fight?

@@nightsong81 didnt know football stars and wrestlers could fight?

@@cliffjumper1984 Depends on if you mean pro wrestlers or the MMA kind. Football players, meh. Though to be frank, I think this is the first brawler I saw a football player in. I've seen skateboarders, rollerbladers and baseball players, but football player doesn't strike me as a brawler cliche like the ubiquitous ninja/martial artist/grappler trio. Hockey player I'd think would be the next logical choice, but I haven't come across one of those, either. I'm more curious what you want to replace the fighting game tropes with.

@@nightsong81 not saying they have to be a "fighter guy" I guess I never said I just dont want to see a stereotype. But i thought about it.....the alien vs. Predator arcade game beats my thought :p

@@cliffjumper1984 True, and AVP is awesome. The Simpsons, too, which is quintessentially "a brawler where nobody knows how to fight." And AVP was pretty unique in its day, though aliens and robots are also something you see in brawlers from time to time. It was nice to see some guns mixed into the action, like AVP and another arcade favorite of mine, The Punisher, did. But do that too much and you risk a genre shift. I guess my major caveat would be that I'd rather see soldiers, martial artists and ninja than the truly zany stuff (sentient kangaroos and other zoo animals being the primary example that comes to mind) in brawlers, which have become their own kind of cliche in the attempt to break that mold.

Fisticles just play the arcade rom. It’s 2 players coop. Just take my advice and play the Japanese arcade which gives each characters more special moves.

@@corrado where is a good place to find this?
