Cowgod, did non-first party developers even "try" when making Genesis games?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 18th, 2022 8:40 AM Author: vibrant principal's office background story 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?

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: fear-inspiring cruise ship 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\u0026mark_id=5310796#44560093) |

Date: December 31st, 2025 9:39 AM Author: vibrant principal's office background story My comments in CAPS:
Ghouls n Ghosts on Genesis was an arcade port. The SNES game was a separate game. The former is much fucking harder btw. IT WAS WAY SMOOTHER AND GOOD ON SNES. I WOULDN"T EVEN CONSIDER THE GENESIS VERSION
Street Fighter 2 on Genesis actually sounds like the arcade and has the intro from the arcade. SNES WAS AN ARCADE PERFECT PORT. NO ONE PLAYED THE GENESIS VERSION. IT ONLY HAD 3 BUTTONS
Contra Hard Corps is an underrated sleeper classic AGREED
Mortal Kombat sounds Scummier and looks drabber on Genesis which is 180 imo I PLAYED MK ON GENESIS. THE SNES GRAPHICS DESTROYED IT, AND THE GENESIS 3 BUTTON CONTROLLER FOR MK WAS PURE SHIT
Castlevania Bloodlines is unequivocally a better game than IV. WONT ARGUE HERE
Final Fight was completely outdone by Streets of Rage, which has a great soundtrack btw THIS IS COMPLETE FLAME. STREETS OF RAGE IS VASTL OVERRATED. FINAL FIGHT WAS BETTER IN EVERY WAY. GO PLAY BOTH NOW AND TELL ME SOR IS BETTER. IT SIMPLY ISNT, NOT EVEN CLOSE. HIT DETECTION, GRAPHICS, ETC |

Everyone playing SF2 on Genesis used the 6 button controller which is far superior to SNES. |

Date: December 31st, 2025 11:50 AM Author: vibrant principal's office background story no Genesis owners other than super nerds and late adopters actually had that controller. Sop Gaslighting (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5111654&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310796#49552074) |

Date: December 31st, 2025 11:53 AM Author: fear-inspiring cruise ship SNES had strong punch mapped to L by default which was always awkward and always needed changing. The SNES version is decent in general though. But again iirc the Genesis version has the same soundfont as the arcade. Although I like the SNES OST tbh (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5111654&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310796#49552079) |

Date: December 31st, 2025 12:04 PM Author: Burgundy circlehead senate SF2 is unplayable on SNEE. Use L and R for the most important buttons? Ljl. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5111654&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310796#49552101) |

Date: December 31st, 2025 12:08 PM Author: fear-inspiring cruise ship you can map all of the buttons. but the 6 button is really perfect because you have weak/medium/strong punch/kick all lined up perfectly. and really the Saturn controller with the shoulder buttons is icing on the cake. whereas the SNES controller, if I map strong punch to Y, I kind of can't remember wtf everything else is mapped to. |
|
Date: December 31st, 2025 11:55 AM Author: fear-inspiring cruise ship Super Ghouls n Ghosts has god awful slowdown. Ghouls n Ghosts is smooth as butter. This is just a fact.
Mortal Kombat actually fits the drab aesthetic of Genesis even if SNES has better colors or whatever. The 32X version also has larger sprites like the arcade. |
