"Because they're good games, you idiot!" Sorry, no mention of Streets of Rage 4 since that was just announced on 8/27, and this video was finished 8/12.
New SNES-related video every Tuesday, and something else (Genesis, Game Boy, whatever) on Thursdays

The mixing and voiceovers are just as good too. Basically you chose really interesting topics and make a lot of these games come alive. Ive found some fingers that I never knew existed back in the day. Thanks for continuously putting out such solid work.

I think it's worth mentioning the 3DS ports of Streets of Rage 1&2 by M2. In addition to adding (surprisingly well implemented) stereoscopic 3D, they're loaded with extra game modes and easter eggs. They also contain both the US and Japanese versions, and they support local multiplayer. It's a shame they never got around to 3.

Yeah I have the sequel on my 3ds and there's a feature you can one hit kill the enemies in the game, even the bosses! I think that that makes the game too easy to breeze through, but seeing that there are 8 stages in all and some guys take a lot of health to defeat, I guess it deserves to be in there.

The reason why the difficulty is so unreasonable in some of these USA-localised Mega Drive games is because Sega of America were convinced that the rental market would cannibalise cartridge sales if the games were easily beatable. They ramped up how hard their games were and pressurised important 2nd and 3rd party developers into doing the same. (Dynamite Headdy and Contra Hard Corps being other notable examples)

Streets of Rage 3 I see as kind of a Japan Mario 2. Its like: "you mastered the last game, here' the next challenge". I actually beat 3 and yeah it was hard, but I kept trying and eventually got the good ending. Plus the little additions like hidden characters, using power moves w/o taking damage and the star system rewarding you for doing well actually were pretty good ideas.

BKIII doesn't just tone down the overall difficulty, but it also reduces the overall amount of damage that enemies deal by a SUBSTANTIAL amount. In Streets of Rage 3 on higher difficulties, like Hard, you get BODIED if you aren't careful. Just a few hits from some Zacks and some sudden slides from a Scarab or two and you're DOS (Dead On The Spot). Meanwhile, take that same situation into BKIII and you'll probably get away with about 10-15% of your health taken away. Just a massive difference. I truly believe that BKIII is the true version of SOR3 and that someone made the game way harder for American audiences because they probably wanted to be "challenged" in many ways.

I assume the difficulty of the third game was changed as a concession to the rental market. It actually wasn't uncommon for games back then to have their difficulty increased when they were localised.

Not too long ago I decided to throw in Streets of Rage and play with my younger brother who never had. We started with 2 and moved on to 3. Having a 20+ years fresh look at it: Streets of Rage 3's moveset is great, but the difficulty is goddamn brutal.

I absolutely LOVED Fighting Force for PS1 as a kid, and rented it constantly, was one of the first games I played after I got a PS1. And then whaddayouknow, I found out years later as an adult that it was built as a streets of rage game in 3D for the saturn, but Sega rejected it, so the devs made changes to the character models and released it for PS1.

Streets of rage 2. One of the rare examples of a game that still rules it's genre. I haven't played a better beat em up till this day. There was no competion back then. Streets of rage destroyed everything that Nintendo could conjure, from Final Fight to Turtles in time. No game came even close to rival Streets of rage.

Some things to bring up: With regards to the atmosphere of SoR 2: The first stage boss battle is just plain epic. The music is gone for a moment and all you hear the falling rain as it slowly climbs in. You're in this dingy alley behind a bar and it just feels gritty. The boss tears off his shirt as he joins the fray. There's even this claustrophobic fight inside a moving truck with around ten on-screen opponents and this high adrenaline music. With regards to the difficulty of SoR 3: They really did a number with one boss fight. I think he is called Jet. The bosses have "lives" meaning that you have to deplete their life bar a number of times. Usually it's around three or four at most. Jet has a whopping seven lives and he continually brings in more jet pack goons with his same move set. In the Japanese release he had three lives. The only way to have a fighting chance is to knock out two of the three goons and try to avoid the other since he tends to call them in when they're all beaten. There is a slight "hack" when you go in single player. Once you reach the last life of your last continue pull out the controller and plug it into the second port. Hit start and you can join in with a full stock of continues. Only way I managed to reach the brutal final stage.

Streets of Rage Remake is amazing. It has all three in one game... and even cut content as new levels. You have the option to have all the best stuff like dashing, rolling, the star meter... whilst playing the original Streets of Rage levels, if you wanted. I love this series and have a massive fondness for the soundtracks of 1 and 2.

Nostalgia glasses, you're a clown, your fan game is nostalgia ! It's already dead for years... Breaking good games by mixing everything together is just immature and a huge stupid idea if you wanna top a professional game series. This is why it never was good and brought to public release. Unlike the amazing team who made sonic mania who totally understood what made sonic great. But lemme laugh at your stupid points again : 1. Oh wow they made an unbalanced mugen, amazing argument. So DBZ mugens with 600 characters clones > DBZF xD 2. Cpu wow that's an argument ??? REALLY ???? and no online ? top kek, have fun with your imaginary cpu friend. 3. Add the shop for stuff ? you mean put RPG elements in a Beat 'em up ? what a retarded thing plus you already doesn't want to finish this turd twice (and its longer than an arcade RPG game) and they force you to grind for bonuses you don't even care about. 4. Extra modes, that no one cares,no one played wooooo i'm having a blast playing ballzzz in a streets of rage, its so much better making useless modes instead of, i dont know, make a REAL game ? Balance your mugen shit ? Make a better AI ? LEARN TO MAKE THE GAME SCREEN SIZE PROPERLY WITHOUT STRETCHING IT !!! Or get an artist instead of making atrocious PAINT art for the game.... Maybe pay some respect to the butchered SOR3 part ??? no they didn't care they hated it so it got the lazy treatment. Creating new sequences instead of adding Beta / Unused scenes the original devs judged useless but the fanboys are so retarded they wanna add them xD WOW 90% of this project is just reused stuff from the originals ! SO MUCH ORIGINALITY. ! 5. oh yeah great one, the mods, cause "we sucks so much that we slip that in, so the community will do what we couldn't." The classic. The only argument i can say thank god they did that cause instead of having a Turd of a game we have a modified/patched version of this turd that somewhat makes it half decent and mods from really creative people trying to break their stupid code in order to make something actually good. But still using that as an argument of why SORR is good is just shooting your own foot with a gun. You admit they fucked up and Mods are better than the original project. Nerf mania more like completely fuck up every balance system by putting too much characters from different games and allowing you to cheat option the shit outta it not even adding the fact they fucked with the AI too LOL. Dude you're not even a SOR player don't even try to excuse poorly handled projects with real games. The facts are here, no one play it anymore, it's dead compared to the flow of people still streaming, playing the shit out of the originals. You're so stupid i bet you're a kid who plays Mugen shit games, my little pony, god even pokemon might be too hard for you, let's say Yu gi oh! LOL ~ how can you see failure in basic game design if you're not even playing the good games.

My introduction to 1 was on Sega CD and then 2 on Dreamcast and 3 on PS2. It felt weird being introduced to the series this way rather than on Genesis itself. I never knew that Dreamcast’s sound is warped and still find that version nostalgic.

One way that part 2 is worse than part 1 is that it lacks team moves. In the first game, you can throw your partner towards the enemies and your partner can perform a very powerful flying attack. Or you can leap over your partner to perform a powerful flying attack in the other direction. That was brought back for part 3.
