Cowgod, did non-first party developers even "try" when making Genesis games?

Date: May 18th, 2022 8:40 AM Author: cerebral shimmering stage water buffalo Take Capcom for example. It made near arcade ports of a lot of its games on the SNES (Final Fight, Street Fighter II, Ghouls and Ghosts, etc). But a lot of the Genesis versions of these same games seemed like shitty afterthoughts. Was it the three button controller, one audio channel? Why did these third party Genesis devs mail it in a lot when developing multi-system games like this? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5111654&forum_id=2\u0026hid=#44531530) |
Date: May 18th, 2022 9:53 AM Author: Duck-like theater stage Ghouls n Ghosts on Genesis was an arcade port. The SNES game was a separate game. The former is much fucking harder btw.
Street Fighter 2 on Genesis actually sounds like the arcade and has the intro from the arcade.
Contra Hard Corps is an underrated sleeper classic
Mortal Kombat sounds Scummier and looks drabber on Genesis which is 180 imo
Castlevania Bloodlines is unequivocally a better game than IV.
Final Fight was completely outdone by Streets of Rage, which has a great soundtrack btw
Western devs thrived on the Genesis in general. I can’t think of a single good western game on SNES off the top of my head that wasnt better on the Genesis. Aladdin, Earthworm Jim, and sports games were all better on Genesis imho
A lot of 16 bit games werent really ports the way we think of them today btw. They couldn’t just Engineer them in C++, they had to use assembly language. So games were Engineered practically from scratch on each Console. Discuss |

Date: May 23rd, 2022 4:11 PM Author: Duck-like theater stage I saw some obscure thing somewhere that said that they actually didn’t use assembly language per se and had some kind of compiler. At least on SNES. Honestly who tf knows. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5111654&forum_id=2\u0026hid=#44560093) |
