    Fun facts about SFA2 on the Snes. The pauses are not loadings... They have something to do with rushed and faulty audio programing. They recently fixed it with a patch over at Romhacking. After the fix, the game becomes a thing of beauty. Had they not botched it when releasing it, this version would have been the only home version without loadings. Something to think about.

      I think Sega really hurt themselves releasing the 32X and Sega CD. Those 2 devices were pointless. The Saturn was good but when people saw the terrible quality of the 32X and Sega CD, I think that discouraged them from buying a Saturn and Dreamcast (Both terrific systems).

      @EJHilt 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      I thought this many years myself. If they supported the master system games more closely with the power base converter. Then convert budget title games aka the Sega CD to only do 2D games to the sega Saturn and then 3D full price games also in the Saturn with the hardware redone for better more easy writing / third party friendly software. Then have the Dreamcast with dual analog sticks with a DVD player. Then Sega would have been better off. Just simple changes that would save that company from heartache.

    Something that I feel is often glossed over when it comes to both the NES and the SNES. Nintendo didn't need console add-ons, they just upgraded the cartridges. It's chips get better and cheaper with time. Developing an addition to existing hardware is expensive. So SNES just upgraded games that needed the boost.

      No different than people seem to ignore that the Genesis came out in 1989, the SNES didn't come out until 1991 so its really not that shocking that Sega would have to do something about the Genesis long before Nintendo needed to move on from the SNES. Even with both using older hardware, the Genesis would have had older hardware than the SNES

      @@lutherheggs451 ​ Mega Drive was released in 1988 and the SNES was released in 1990, they are Japanese hardware and released there first. SNES games had additional hardware performance upgrades in their cartridges before the Mega Drive released their add-ons, in fact Nintendo had one in a game 30 days after the SNES released with Pilotwings (Dec 1990) to help with its Mode 7 rotation. Sega simply focused on add-on hardware rather than enhancement chips, its age had nothing to do with it.

    I've been gaming since the late 70's, early 80's and the SNES is my favorite console of all time, and some of these late released games are part of the reason why. Some of these games I missed out on at the time as well, because they came along so late, but many of these are some of the best games the system had to offer. Thanks to the SNES installed base, many developers took the risk of releasing games later, in the hopes of making more with and established system(than fighting for peanuts with the next gen and a super small base).

      The first time i played Doom, was this port. I never ever thought it was poorly done. The hard to see enemies, I just thought they were hiding or something, the slowness or low frame rate, I just thought that was simply how Doom Guy walked. If it wasnt smooth fluid, I just took it like that was how the game was (we were used to slowdowns in NES and Snes games). Seriously, I never ever thought the game was poorly made. And so I beat the game, and thought it was great.
      It was until late 2000's that i started to learn that it was a "bad" port... because of YT and other people's opinion. Yes, if you compare it to PC it is obvious whats wrong with the snes port.

Yes, for someone with a PC back then, this port would have been the worst playing. But from the perspective of someone who had never seen it before, or anything else like it, it was incredible, and I still remember turning off the lights in my room and sitting right close to the tv so I could explore the levels and gun down everything that moved.

      Terranigma is another example of a game which surprisingly never saw its release in the US and as such is not in the consciousness of many american gamers. Interestingly, Terranigma was released in Europe, on the other hand. But in small numbers, hence it's very rare here.

    Very interesting topic. If you look at hardware sales, the 32-bit generation did not really take off until 1997, and the PlayStation truly exploded during Christmas 1997 and all through 1998 (ironically just when Dreamcast launched in Japan). On the other hand, 16-bit software sales crashed as soon as 1995, especially on the Mega Drive / Genesis. In recently found documents, we have internal discussion of SOA staff lamenting the sudden collapse of Genesis software in the USA. Nintendo software on the SNES were a clear exception to this trend thanks to DKC and Super FX games. In Japan, the Super Famicom led in software sales all the way until late 1995 (basically until VF2 came out on the Saturn). Things started going south from 1996.

      Genesis software outsold Snes software in the U.S. from October to November 1995 51% to 49%. Hardware sales were 50.5% Snes 49.5% Genesis. Considering Nintendo was all in on the Snes at that point, it was extremely impressive Genesis competed so well late in the game.
      Lots of Genesis software in late 1994 into 1995 saw dissapointing sales numbers. 32x console sales cutting into Genesis software sales I wonder 🤔. This wasn't a Sega specific problem, though.
      Other than Donkey Kong, it was an industry wide disappointment for 16-bit sales. Tons of Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, and Acclaim software releases under performed at retail.

But gameplay-wise I actually prefer MM 8. It's complained on by fans but unfairly in my opinion. Like, it's criticized for wrong reasons - people pay more attention to bad voice acting rather than actual gameplay which is in some ways not as atrocious as that in MM & Bass.

    Late era SNES games like these and many more made me proud to stick with the SNES as my primary console through the majority of the 90s. Nintendo, unlike Sega, has a long history of staying the course on products that work and fairly quickly shelving things that don't work. I think that's one big reason why they're still around doing both consoles and games, while Sega nearly died over 20 years ago.
    I think some of the execs within Sega of Japan were always stuck in the mindset through the 80's and 90's of approaching the console market in a similar way as the arcade market with technology. In the arcade market it's easier to adopt new tech with a new crop of games developed specifically with that new tech in order to try and stay one step ahead of the competition. In the console world you can't do that with add-ons or premature console releases unless you want to fragment your customer base. Look into Sega's history with the SG-1000 series in Japan and it's add-ons and changes. They tried to do nearly the same thing in the 16-bit and early 32-bit generations worldwide and it largely didn't pan out well.

      ​@@BuggritHall This was the second hardest of all. The most difficult was 5-Extra. I've done with everything now. My tip is to use a camera on your phone to do the 4th world bonus quickly and easily. I don't know if you remember what bonus this is. It's a memory game. It guarantees you 10 lives. Do this 2 or 3 times. You will quickly have more lives than you need. And it won't take long for you to reach the last checkpoint. This may take a while, but you will get it done.

      @SegaLordX  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not for me. That soulless prerendered stuff never looked good to my eyes. Yoshi's Island murdered it in terms of artistry and sheer visual appeal. For the record, it's not a Nintendo thing. I never cared much for Sega's dabbling in prerendered assets, either.

    Nothing disappointed me more than having a N64 at the time Street Fighter Alpha 2 came out on the SNES. I was constantly playing that on arcades and wondering why the hell wasn't Capcom porting those games to N64, given that they ported a bunch of SF2 versions to SNES. I was angry to no end. They definitely should have released a N64 version as well. Later it became obvious Capcom wasn't very interested on the N64 and only released 2 games on it very later on.

    It's funny what people consider to be a late release. Doom came out for the SNES in September 1995, just after the console's fourth birthday (in NA). Imagine calling a Genesis game released in 1993 a "late release." Going by this metric, Sega absolutely did support the Genesis for a long time.

    • @SegaLordX
      @SegaLordX  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It's late because the 16-bit generation had run into 32-bit generation full steam. In 1995, there were 5 new generation consoles on the market. And since the SFC had been dropped in 1990 in Japan, this console was still 5 years old when Doom released.

  • @roberto1519
    @roberto1519 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Late SNES games such as the ones mentioned here, highlighting SFA2, DOOM and DK3, even the usual suspects such as UMK3 were huge at the time. Personally, I think DOOM plays well enough, specially for the sacrifices that had to be made. I really enjoy both SFA2 and SNES DOOM to this day, it`s nostalgia, yes, but still impressive to see. I also recall that Spawn was a late release, maybe 1995 or so.
    There are demos on the Mega Drive for SFA2, Metal Slug and even KOF98, they are IMPRESSIVE, SFA2 uses the same sprites as the arcade original, the Genesis could have reached new heights with bigger ROM carts and if SEGA did what Nintendid, which was actually support their consoles until the end of their life cycle.
    Here in Brazil, it was very common to see SNES consoles all over, International Super Star Soccer Deluxe was huge, I also remember enjoying NBA JAM a lot against our colleagues at the time.

    As a non-US SNES player at this time, it always saddened me seeing a lot of these titles didn't get localized in my territory - it'd be a few years before I could afford a N64, and seeing all these American only new games in magazines was sad. Yoshi's Island and the DKC games were great, but not being able to play Super Mario RPG was a bummer.

      It's relative to what you were exposed to. I followed the Super Famicom since 1990 and started playing 32-bit consoles games in 1993. 5 years into the lifecycle was late to me, especially after playing 3DO for 2 years at that point.

    The Donkey Kong Country games were always the best looking 16-bit titles to me, and they still look good. The sound and gameplay are about as good as it gets for the time, too. I consider the first two to be some of the finest games ever made. I can think of some digitized games of the time that I don’t think aged well, and those aren’t on that list.

    The sega 32x wasn’t needed at the time sega had the sega cd which was a new system in its own right when released to compete against the turbo grafx cd in Japan. While technically outstanding at the time it lacked the extra colour chip, that it needed to compete against newer systems and no one knew how to use it. Full motion videos and speaking in games was becoming a deal, which lead to bad fmv games and a system not used to its full potential. 😢

    • @G.L.999
      @G.L.999 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In fact, Sega had all the potential built right in to the Genesis/Mega-Drive already. And games like Vectorman proved Sega didn't need the 32X; they just needed the right developers who could made graphics like Vectorman's possible on 16-bit hardware at the time. Just like how Nintendo had Rareware and Rainbow Arts to prove that too!

    • @G.L.999
      @G.L.999 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      To be fair, the game and OST were done by a different team. So they did the best they could; while the original team were busy with developing N64 games at the time. Plus, I don't think Rareware at the time could've been able to surpass what DKC2 had done. And it was evident in the fact that if you visited Cranky Kong's wife in her save cave, you could see her playing SM64. So I think the original Rareware that made the first 2 DKC games had their prioritise set on other things at that point in time!

A friend of mine modded my SNES mini to include the U.K. version of Terranigma on it and I gotta say, it truly was imo, one the best send offs late in the SNES's life span. Wish we could've gotten it, but I'm glad I got to experience it now; rather than never at all!

    It's surprising that the Super Nintendo was still going strong in 1996, but for me it's kinda insane to think that in 1998 (two years after the release of the Nintendo 64) it received an exclusive game like MegaMan and Bass that even used sprites and gameplay of MegaMan 8 of the PS1/Sega Saturn, I really take my hat off to Nintendo supporting it for so long, this is something I wish I had seen Sega do with the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.
    And now that I stop to think, the Nintendo Switch is already 7 years old, I wonder if it will be able to surpass the Super Nintendo in this aspect.

    Great video SLX. There were a few late releases on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in late 1996 and early 1997 well into the Saturn's lifespan. You'll probably do one on late releases on the Genesis too at some point i'm assuming.
