    Guilty Gear X is another mind blowing GBA fighting game port.
    Though the camera was missing the typical 'zoom in' and by default was set just a little too far back, the speed, special moves, sound effects... even chiptune versions of the game's trademark rock soundtrack was there.
    A wonderfully playable game and a remarkable achievement.

    Street Fighter 2 on Game Boy does have character specific endings... Much like the SNES versions, you just have to play on standard and higher difficulty (3 star and up, iirc) to see them.If you beat on highest difficulty you even get the extended "roll call' screens at the end.

    Dude I love the slick editing and just the whole concept of punching weight. It's catnip for smark gamers! If I can make some editing suggestions; changing backgrounds for different games (eg it's blue but change to a red tint for SFA) and having a brief pause (showing footage over just music for ~5 seconds) between games, just to get a quick breather would be tops, since you're throwing a lot of succinct information quickly! Minor things, love the show man.

  • @jasonblalock4429

    Hey, suggestion for a Punching Weight episode: Take a look at console ports of the PC Wing Commander series, particularly the ports of WC1 to the SNES and WC Prophecy for the GBA. Both of them are incredibly ambitious, and arguably shouldn't be possible given how limited the consoles were compared to contemporary PCs. Yet they happened. 3D space dogfights on consoles that struggled to do 3D at all.
    GBA Prophecy even went so far as to take the PC pre-rendered FMV sequences and convert them into in-engine cinematics!

    • @det.bullock4461
      @det.bullock4461 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was always curious about those! Especially the SNES version. Also weirdly enough even on PC the windows version of the first game for the Kilrathi Saga compilation was a buggy mess, and it's not like the game ran all that well in the original DOS version either.

    • @jasonblalock4429
      @jasonblalock4429 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      What's really interesting about the SNES version is that I'm like 99% sure that Mindscape actually ported the Wing Commander *engine* rather than recreating the game. There are too many quirks of the PC version that it carries over, not to mention them knocking out the "Secret Missions" sequel just a few months later. It's a legitimately accurate port, although the colors are washed out and the controls suffer for being on a D-pad.
      It also has the most batshit complicated button layout for a SNES game ever, requiring the use of Select+Button combos to access most of the HUD functions like the communications screen. And IIRC, ejecting required a three-button combo. But they actually crammed the entire PC control scheme in there!
      I mean, if THAT'S not "Punching Weight" material, I don't know what is.

      I have Wing Commander on my SNES, as an actual cartridge. I played it a bit back in the day, and thought it was pretty good. I never realized how ambitious that port was until years later when a friend who was big into PC gaming showed it to me on the PC. The cutscenes were amazingly more detailed in the original. That being said, it played solidly on the SNES, and while most console ports are just a weird nick-knack compared tot he PC originals, that is one game I could probably go through the whole game on the SNES.
      Except for when they pair you with Maniac. F*** you, Maniac, get the hell out of my game.
      Derek, if you do an episode on it, I am totally willing to hook you up with my cart. It's the kind of game where I don't trust emulators to run it right.

    It's worth noting that not only does Super Turbo Revival glitch up when you access the hidden Shin Akuma boss fight, it also breaks your save data. It's one of the few truly game-breaking bugs in a fighting game, and the only one I can think of that you can get without purposefully doing it - just play well, get perfects, don't lose a fight, and your save data gets corrupted when you get to the end of the game.

    Not only was the GBA version of Alpha 3 Upper the most complete and massive fighting game on the Gameboy Advance, it also managed to cram it all onto one of the smallest and cheapest boards Nintendo offered. Capcom didn't feel like paying for one of the more expensive cartridges so Crawfish had to figure out to get all that game onto extremely limited space. Frames of animation and the inclusion of some stages came down to practically individual bytes of space they had to allocate. The thing is nothing short of a technical miracle.

    The 3DS port of Super Street Fighter IV is pretty amazing, despite the fact you didn't talk about it here bar a mention. SSFIV was a pretty big game having been developed specifically for Xbox 360 and PS3-spec hardware, so the fact they got the whole game onto the 3DS (which could barely handle a straight port of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, a PS2 game) was a miracle unto itself. Also, interesting to note is that while SSFIV3D usually runs at 30fps (the console versions running a full 60), you can actually improve the performance to an actual 60fps (or close to it) by turning the 3D functionality off in the 3DS' system settings.
    I think you could do a solid episode of Punching Weight going over Capcom's 3DS and Vita games, since some of those are pretty impressive showcases of their MT Framework Mobile engine. SSFIV3D, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D/Revelations, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 in particular.

Same way I felt about Final Fight One. I just hated how almost everyone had the exact same ending but, as you said, they had to cut corners somewhere. Overall, job well done, Crawfish.

      But there was a time where people didnt use satin, polyester, or soft cotton covers to hold the cotton that made the pillows.
      They used maybe dirt, or just packs of clothes or akin from animals as pillows. And it's all they knew...and it was comfortable. And ask any of them, if you could, what was the best pillow..thwy would answer that the newer types are obviously better, but that doesn't mean that NOW the old shit w asnt good and comfortable at their time...and because of their time, they didn't have the option of today...so they...had no choice but to judge that pillow based on that time. And at that time..there was less options...and everyone dealt with that. Not just poor people vs rich people. Not just a group vs another group. EVERYONE had that limited option. So it was normal. Not a choice or lack of choice just was.
      So...based on that time, those limited options..you only had those things to judge from.
      Of course tiger didn't compete with gameboy..,but...as a game itself and toy...it was great. You w asnt buying it for competition. You were buying it to just be an extra toy to keep you busy and it would onlky work that way...if it was good. And what did you have to compare it to? Nothing. Cause we already knew it wasn't a game gear or game boy...get it?
      It was just a game/toy that took the place of busy games...like the apps on your cell phone.
      You d ont exactly care for the games on your mobile. You just download them and play to be busy. Kinda hooked..,but it's all just busy games. Not your psvita, ps4m pc, etc. Just a quick travel game. There was no real option for that. Tiger was that. You weren't killing 4 batteries in the gameboy. They burn out easy for the amount you play. Vs a Tiger of little power,,which lasted longer. And mostly cause you played them for "quick fix"
      Brick to pillow isn't the same thing. You're establishing one thing that's not even seen as a pillow and never would be to an actual choice
      Where as my example is that one thing considered a pillow...just not the best...can still be enjoyed as good for the situation it's made for.

      The second KoF for the Game Boy is titled The King of Fighters - Heat of Battle and is a port of King of Fighters '96, an equally impressive one as Alpha 3 for the GBA. Easily the best fighting game on the system. Didn't know it never went over to the U.S..

    • @DragoonMS
      @DragoonMS 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sucks that KoF95&96 are the only ones to grace the Gameboy; Kof97 would take to the NeoGeo Pocket as KoFR1, followed by KoF98 as KoFR2.

    • @DragoonMS
      @DragoonMS 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Another oddity: Samurai Spirits: Zankurou Musouken, aka Samurai Shodown III: Blades of Blood, also got a Gameboy release...but like KoF96, it was only in Japan & Europe. That's right: Shin Samurai Spirits, aka Samurai Shodown II, GOT SKIPPED ENTIRELY.

    I remember finding SF2 Gameboy at some random airport kiosk for like 5 bucks when I was a tiny little baby lugging my grey brick monster around strapped to my back. That was the best 10 hour plane ride EVER. I bet the soundtrack is still stuck in some unfortunate passenger's head.

    I used to play the crap out of both Turbo Revival and Alpha 3 Upper on GBA. I was at my first job at the the time at a go-kart park and I'd get stuck running lazer tag all the time. And when they sent you to that dark cave you were basically isolated from the rest of the park. I'd go up there with my GBA SP and play those games for hours on end waiting for someone to remember to come give me my lunch break.

    I had no idea half of the GameBoy ports for Street Fighter were made by Crawfish Interactive! That's amazing, they also made my favourite version of Space Invaders, and now having the context of the company going defunct after Alpha 3 Upper, it explains why multiple other projects they were working on in 2002 were cancelled. SpeedBall 2 Deluxe was released within two months of the EU release of Alpha 3, but other Bitmap Brothers ports they were working on - Gods, Magic Pockets and Chaos Engine - along with a handheld adaptation of GTA 3 were all scrapped when the company filed for bankruptcy in early 2003. OH THAT HURTS TO LEARN! But it gives me extra respect for these ports, they were made with love, unquestionably.

    Interesting how you mentioned the SFA3 release on GBA as "Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper" (albeit partway through the analysis), since a similar thing was done with the PSP release of SFA3 in Japan, which was titled "Street Fighter Zero 3 Double Upper." (Which, incidentally, I still have a copy of on PSP UMD.)

      Actually it is based on the first version of the Street Fighter 1 machine that had buttons that give you harder punches and kicks the harder you pressed. Like if you wanted a strong punch you .... punched the button hard. BUT Turbo revival has a secret mode that simplifies the specials to smash-like specials

    what I did with the controls for alpha 3 upper on GBA with an emulator was take an arcade stick, map the buttons, then for medium I mapped the buttons for medium to do the two button presses required for medium attacks and there, the ultimate way to play Street fighter Alpha 3 Upper with a GBA emulator.
