It looks and sounds great though, but yeah, handles really clunky like. I found even doing roundhouses unreliable. I tried Mortal Kombat, and it does indeed have input delay though. Started getting into shooters over fighting games at that time as Because of this discussion, I actually found and fired up an SNES emulator and have been immersing myself in fantastic nostalgia all afternoon.
#Cool snes versions Pc#
I had Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3 on my SNES, though I never bothered with a home version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 until the Xbox 360.Īnd yeah, in 1995 I switched from an SNES to PC gaming, and never looked back. I played the Sega Genesis version at my best friend's all the time though. When Mortal Kombat hit home consoles, the only platform I had that would play a version of the game was the Game Boy, so I got that. Also been enjoying the snot out of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time this Yeah, I got a Super Nintendo Entertainment System late. I fired up Mortal Kombat II to make sure it wasn't something wrong with the emulator I'm using, and that played great just as I remembered. And the rest SNES Because of this discussion, I actually found and fired up an SNES emulator and have been immersing myself in fantastic nostalgia all afternoon. I modded my SNES classic mini with both versions of the game with UMK3. BTW, I had both, my SG broke though I still have my SNES just not hooked up. It's pretty obvious the SNES was the superior version overall.
#Cool snes versions series#
The MK series on both were fun, fluid in their own way but if you're a guy who cares about graphics, solid controller, dpad, sound and better gameplay. So overall, I'd say SNES takes it over SG MK games 4-1 overall. I would still prefer the SNES controller however, but yeah in terms of gameplay I seem to recall it being better/more arcade accurate on the SG. The one game out of all of them that did the better job than Nintendo in terms of gameplay being better. The gameplay I believe was actually more arcade accurate on the SG version believe it or not. UMK3-Ok, while I enjoyed this game more on the SNES personally due to again the configuration, pad and graphics, sound. I mean hell, even now consoles like PS and Xbox both took the SNES layout from the 90s what's that tell ya? I would still give the SNES the edge here due to the gameplay, graphics, sound and controller as the run being L helped bigtime while R remained block. MK 3-This one played nearly identical from what I recall on both, though again the SG being slightly faster. MK 2-Nin pretty much learned from their mistake and said fuck it, let it rock all out and pretty much destroyed the SG version as a result, better gameplay, graphics, sound and 100% arcade accurate. However, gameplay wise the game felt better on SNES than the Sega G which again felt too fast.
#Cool snes versions code#
MK 1-Ok, the Sega version winded up selling more due to the infamous blood code which Sega hid in the game so the fatalities were like the arcade and this gave them an edge on the SNES version of MK since at the time, Nin was very anti blood, violence etc. At my house, my friend's place down the block we'd play for hours every day, looking for EGM and Nintendo Power for the secret finishers, fatalities, animalities, friendships etc(back before the days of the internet)Ĭomparing each game in terms of accuracy to the arcade port. I played both a lot, I have to say out of all of them for both consoles. Gameplay, ok the gameplay is pretty smooth on both but I feel like the SG version is MK on speed(some people like that, I don't personally) the SNES version felt a lot more like the arcade to me than the SG version in terms of closeness to the arcade port gameplay wise. Neither were arcade exact port accurate but the SNES cleary does the better job. The SNES version had much better sound, more accurate to the arcade. Sega sounded tinsey, higher pitched just sounded weird. Sound, again something the SNES version does better than the SG easily. MK looks better on the SNES than Sega, better graphics, colors etc easily. Graphics, the differences are pretty obvious when you have them side by side. But yeah SNES controller was perfect for MK and SF, but especially for MK with the block being in the perfect spot and HP, LP,HK, LK etc being much better than the SG controller. Better controller, I think this goes without saying vs the SG controller which only had 3 buttons and start to block was just not practical and then they realized this so they made the 6 button controller. Overall I like the SNES version better of MK over Sega for these reasons:
