Posted by CaptainJistuce There's also an Atari Falcon port, which I never heard of...released in 1992. You can see a WIP version, looks a bit square-y. The Falcon was produced only for a short period before the company stopped production of all systems other than the upcoming Atari Jaguar. It was Atari's final computer product. Ah. |

Posted by creaothceann They still have the "Shh! Don't call them R*m hacks" tacit rule I noticed. Which feels silly if they're hosting speed runs on some of those hacks ( played on hardware) anyway but whatever. Reddit thread with Twitch and YT links |

Ryusei (Urien) vs Dual Kevin (Rashid) - CEO 2019 Top 8 - CPT 2019 Best match by far. There was also the Tekken tournament at CEO 2019 which I didn't see but from what I heard from the crowd sounded pretty hype: World Tour 2019 - CEO 2019 - Pools Day 1. Timestamps in the comment. Pretty much all the big players were there, including Lil Majin. Twitch archive - TWT 2019 - CEO 2019 - Top 8 Posted by hunterk Didn't know S.Killian worked on it. Yeah, never played it either. Granblue Fantasy Versus looks indeed promising. Leave it to Arcsys to take any J-RPG, non fighting game franchise and turn it into a (good) fighting game. Heck, I was introduced to Persona with Persona 4 Arena. I just hope we'll get another Blazblue as I'm not a big fan of Cross Tag Battle personally. |

Posted by CaptainJistuce No, it was also in the ending of the original/authentic game. Though of course, it wouldn't have been of much use to anyone that didn't had access to the paper you had to pour water on to reveal the code (most likely because they rented the game and the store didn't bother including the code somewhere) so they wouldn't have made it to the ending anyway (had to look up the code online myself). Now that I think about it, the code probably acted as some kind of anti-rental measure. Remember that Nintendo was very anti-rental back then. Posted by creaothceann Yep, Angrylion is pretty advanced from what I tested thus far (though of course, it is also considerably more demanding. Still, a modern PC can reach full speed with it). All the games that utterly fail on other emu/plugins or just show garbage runs correctly on it. If your PC isn't quite fast enough to run Angrylion, Mupen64Plus w/ Open GL is much less demanding (but less compatible). I've been getting into N64 emulation a bit more lately as a result of it being much better than in the past.

Akumajou Dracula - X68000  Probably my new favorite traditional 'vania. It's basically a remake of the first game but holy crap the bosses are challenging at first. The bosses have a lot more patterns and you have to be more aware of your situation in order to beat them. Especially during the doppelganger and werewoman fight. Also played the PSX Chronicle port/version. Afaik, the only difference is that there's 1 additional frame of lag in the PSX port but honestly, I'd say Chronicles is the definitive version -whether you emulate it or play on hardware, not to mention x68000s are not exactly easy to get. Castlevania Chronicles   CC also adds an arrange mode (in addition of the original mode). The enemies do less damage at first (though by the time you've reached the later stages the damage reduction seems to be gone so this won't really help you beating the game) and Simon has pink hair for some reason in arrange mode. |

Posted by CaptainJistuce Oh yeah that's right, forgot about that. Dunno why it would be behind some kind of code but this indeed allow you to choose between the different sound modules, like you could on the original X68k before starting the game. Incidentally, the only thing that's missing from px68k are the extra Roland GS(SC-55) and Roland LA modules so the only way to use those is to play the Chronicles version. Only the native hardware sound is supported. Posted by Kawa Well, I wasn't exactly sure. I just went with the wiki article name. edit: The use of the word "were" refers to the ability to shape-shift but is, taken literally, a contradiction in terms since in Old English the word "wer" means man.[1] This would mean it literally translates to "man-woman". Ah yes, I can see why "were-woman" would be a bit weird then. |

Just found this track: Super Chase - Criminal Termination Music: Stage 4 I found it to be the right mix of being low-key enough as to not be distracting while still being upbeat enough when programming. Kinda reminiscent of some 90s film soundtrack. |

Posted by fsvgm777 That's right. Well, I guess that's one more reason to get the PSX port; you get one more soundtrack. Yeah, not a fan of that one either. Likewise for the original x68k Roland CS and LA; it's hit-or-miss for me, sometimes they sound/feel better with the Roland MIDI sound modules, sometimes I prefer the original sound. Also "Tower of Dolls" make its first appearance in this game (though I honestly prefer the Ecclesia version) Speaking of Castlevania I just noticed there's a (edit: fixed link) Castlevania Anniversary Collection Released over a month ago. Included are: Castlevania Castlevania II: Simon's Quest Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse Super Castlevania IV Castlevania: The Adventure Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge Castlevania: Bloodlines Kid Dracula Kind of meh honestly. But, as always, I guess they don't want to give too much content: got to milk those old franchise I suppose (the N64 'vanias probably don't need a re-release though). I might still get it (currently at $13 on PSN) just to play an officially licensed Castlevania game that was originally on NES on the PS4. |

Finally, Gradius III on the SNES without slowdowns. No, but seriously this is pretty neat: SNES Gradius III SA-1. Many gamers of a certain age (this author included) remember the early '90s disappointment of buying the SNES version of hit arcade shmup Gradius III. In magazine screenshots, the game's huge, colorful sprites were a sight to behold, comparable to the 1989 arcade original. In action, though, any scene with more than a handful of enemies would slow to a nearly unplayable crawl on the underpowered SNES hardware. Even the Bubbles stage doesn't have much, if any, slowdowns. |

Yeah. Gradius games have never been a favorite shmup series of mine. Just played the hack. It does play a lot smoother (and is much harder as a result) but at the end of the day, it's still Gradius III and doesn't suddenly turn the game in a great SHMUP or anything. I do quite like the soundtrack of III though. Maybe more games in the future will be SA-1-ed. It should be mentioned however that, from what the article said, it's not a simple matter of slapping an SA-1 chip on top of a regular SNES game either and there's quite a bit more work involved. Making a REAL Gradius III SA-1 Cartridge! |

Posted by hunterk I've been reading on it a bit. The author goes into more details here. Don't know if anything will come out of this but it's very interesting still. Personally I think Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts would be a good candidate as the game has some performance issues (though nothing even approaching Gradius III). He also mentions games like Super Metroid as a possible game but I don't think it would benefit from the whole process all that much as the game runs pretty smoothly as it is (unless of course someone were to make a complete overhaul hack of the game that could take advantage of the SA1 like having more enemies on-screen and things like that, which would be pretty cool but that's way beyond the scope of the project). |

Posted by tomman Oh god, the camera was by far the toughest enemy for me in my run of (vanilla) SM64. To be fair, it's actually pretty decent I think if you compare it to a lot of other 3D games of that era but yeah, this was the prehistory of cameras in 3D platformers. |

Great release. The emulator doesn't just have high accuracy but is pretty great in the features department too now. The snow effect is actually quite nice, no joke, despite it being fairly simple. |

Posted by hunterk A huge Genjiro army, apparently. Commentators mentionned it was like 75% of Genjiros in the Japanese tournaments, at least in top 8. edit: Saw the Soul Calibur VI finals live. It was pretty great. Soul Calibur 6 Evo 2019 Grand Finals And speaking of Soul Calibur: I'm glad Samurai Showdown is back being Samurai Showdown -that is, a 2D fighting game (gameplay wise) and not the awful Soul Calibur clone it was with SS Sen. |

Posted by hunterk There was indeed a big pool of Genjūrō players (which I called Genjiro earlier, my bad). Infiltration seem to be back, even if it's not in SF. This match with Valle was great: - LU Alex Valle (Galford) vs Top Fighter Didimokof (Genjuro) - Samurai Shodown Top 8 |

Solitary Fighter - Violence Fight II  Pretty bad fighting game, especially considering it was released in 1991. Violence Fight came out in 89 and wasn't that bad for its time. The sequel feels like it run on the same engine and doesn't add anything new. The game's Engrish is hilarious though:  http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/fighters/fighters9.htm |
