All they had to do was use FBA emulator and slap a CRT filter/Scanlines option in the menu. Its baffling, this company must be led by some of the most misguided people. Shadow of the Ninja and Ninja Warriors remake are proof that people love old school pixel artwork and not this. Hell, the modern Vector art can look good but it takes way more effort, something the devs of this game didn't put in. Streets of Rage 4 looks a billion times better than this and it came out in 2018.
This is more of a remake 🤔 they added new stuff. So it wouldn't workout if they add the other option you said. If it was a one for one remaster... Then hell yeah 👍🏾 add that toggle
@@bruceleeds7988 I've got the original on my PS1 mini and it's way, way better than this! Extremely disappointed! This was originally a quarter cruncher and this is loose all your lives and GAME OVER 😳 should've at least had continues if not add quarters option! Oh well $10 down the toilet 🚽✌️
I wish they kept the original version avaliable along side the remake, or at least gave the option to toggle on the original sprite work the way they did with the soundtrack.
I was just thinking that too, it was so good. But I forgot how old it was now, kinda hard to find a good place to get it anymore. Most of what I find now are mods people did of X.
It's amazing how much better the original looks. Luckily I have that on switch, not even sure if it's still available anymore... but that was by far the superior version by the looks of things.
It looks too clean. Its meant to be Grungey and Grimey. I appreciate its getting love as not everyone is able to play this. I guess streets of rage did the cartoon thing. but this just doesnt work
you aren't kidding. It doesn't look as sinister either as the original. and as Joe said, too clean. where is the grime ? the "updated" graphics look dull and bland.
@@hiroyui9699streets of rage 4 is one of those games…look I love the series but part 4 looks and feels like a flash game. I purchased a switch and pc version, and 1 play thorough is enough for myself.
Yea... hard pass. Crazy how in 2024 a dev cant meet , replicate, or exceed the quality of an arcade game from 1993 I still play the original on mame, Fantastic game.
As a fan of the original, and someone who revisits this classic by way of emulation on a fairly regular basis, this looks like a cheap flash game. When you take a pixel art beauty like this, and destroy what made it special, you probably shouldn't have bothered to begin with(as u completely lost the plot), as a fan like me will avoid this like the plague.
Everyone clowning on the graphics, but hearing bits and pieces of the remixed ost in this video is selling me. That Bonus Round remix goes hard. I already have the Johnny Turbo port on Switch, so maybe I'll buy this one for PS5. Gotta show support to Feilin for making an unexpected appearance!
Yeah you missed out. Nightslashers and a bunch of other great games were released by Johnny Turbo for a short period of time and now they’re all gone. Luckily I bought a bunch of them when I did. I’ll probably buy this version just to check it out, but you can’t beat the awesome graphics from back in the day. The new version is just to clean.
The biggest problem I have with this game's presentation is that they didn't push it as much as I feel they should have. I think the character / story art looks fantastic, but the game fumbles with its implementation of 3D models. They're clearly going for a style to emulate the sprites, but didn't go far enough to actually push to match the character art. The character art has really expressive eyes and sleek body types and the feeling is that they tried to approximate that on rather generic looking models without pushing the proportions of the faces. The lack of hit stop is also an issue as the gameplay looks far too slippery. They seem to want the ease of use that comes with 3D modelled characters without actually pushing the aesthetics of genuine sprite emulation. The key poses look very, for lack of a better word, realistic and don't convey a lot of power on hit - which makes the core loop of the game unsatisfying. It wouldn't bother me as much if I didn't see where this game could have simply put in a bit of extra TLC and had something that could have looked great. Instead, it just stands hanging over the side, unwilling to fully plunge. That actually bothers me more than if it had just looked bad. If it had just looked like the GI Joe beat-em-up, I wouldn't have cared at all and written it off.
the game sounds like it needs a patch to fix the lives and control mapping bugs and issues. and maybe it needs something like Streets of Rage 3 features, a lite level up system up to level 3 or 5, that will increase the player's attack damage, heath/defense, speed, special damage, by like 10 percent. and a slow recharge special power meter.
Update: A patch was just released, and the game plays MUCH better now. I couldn't even get past Stage 3 on Easy because of the laggy controls and relentless enemies, but now the controls are fixed. The retro soundtrack is included... not sure if that was in the patch or when the game was originally released. I feel like this is a huge step in the right direction, as the game is now much more fun to play, and I'm hoping soon they'll release the retro-look to make everything right. Fingers crossed.
It just looks.......cheap. not to say that no hard work went into it. It just looks cheap. And I own the OG game on my switch. So this one is a hard pass for me on looks alone.
Yes 100% I have thousands of arcade games on my PS1 mini and play this game around Halloween every year and I'm Sooooo pissed I wasted $10 on this P.O.S.! Graphics are garbage and it's not even a quarter cruncher 😳 once you lose all your lives Game over! Was sooooo excited when I saw this was coming out a few months back and the end result is I may as well have flushed $10 down the toilet! ✌️
The original Night Slashers was on the Switch eshop for less than a couple of weeks before it got delisted, glad I grabbed it on release day and nobody has ever said why it happened It was a blink and you miss it if you didn't already know it was coming.
Maybe I'm spoiled by Shredder's Revenge, but six-player Coop feels like, if not the new standard, the new optimum. Where as 2-player was the standard and four the optimum for most of the 90s, and the few (one?) six-player beat'em up was mind blowing. Assuming they could do so competently, another two new characters could have helped diversify gameplay.
Joe, I believe Night Slashers was delisted from the eShop a year or two ago. A few other Data East games, too. I'm hoping the original at least makes it to Evercade in another collection.
While I am more than old enough to have played this when it first came out I only learned of it this year on Antstream. It is a pretty good game in its original form.
I just found out, under the name of Johnny turbo arcade, they released some of the data east games, like caveman ninja, bad dudes, sly spy, night slashers, all of this games have been pulled from the eshop, no idea why, trying looking for something nformation they think because of the license ending. Good thing I buyed this games.
If they were going to replace the glorious old pixel art with such a smoothed out simple art style, then they should've used 3D cell shading instead. At least then any visual 'spark' lost from the removal of pixel art would be replaced by true 3D perspective and backgrounds. And 3D tends to suit the new art style they chose (see the upcoming Mayhem Brawler 2 for an example of a 3D-polygon-based beat em up that looks like this). Instead, they kept it 2D but used vastly inferior art.
I felt like the gameplay was a bit faster than the original, I liked the inclusion of the new character and some levels. What I didn't like was the new graphics and when you lose all of your lives you have to restart from the very beginning of the level. Not sure if you can toggle this in the options menu.
Yeah, after playing the demo a few months back, I had a feeling the remake wasn't gonna be that good. And after watching the review, I was right. By the way, do you plan on reviewing UFO 50???
I have the original version on the Nintendo Switch when it was released under the Johnny Turbo brand. It's no longer available on the eshop however, although I'm able to redownload it any time since I bought it when it was originally available. Don't like the looks of this remake at all, so I'm glad I got the original when I did.
The game isnt bad. The original is better but its 4.99 on switch and if you didnt download the original i say get this cause the original is discontinued
Naaaah, I'm no elitist. After further consideration I think it's the lighting. Almost like there is a spotlight on the characters coming from the right, but they cast shadows like there is a light on the left, and then some DARK/STORMY levels have outlines like there is light coming from behind. All the clashing info makes it look like a cheap cell phone game.
❤ everyone's different 🤷🏾♀️ I hate it when games have the camera so far away. And I can't zoom in at all. I also hated overhead cam games too. I just don't prefer it. Yeah, there's some good games like that (too down cam view games). I just wish it wasn't like that.
@@mattx449not all the times. You actually have to put some love & work into it. People can tell the difference. But I like this remake look. I don't hate it
This game is pretty awesome IMO, yeah its not the og,but the graphics are not as bad as they say,if ya like SOR4 or Mayhem Brawler you will like this one,on the very short side but damn awesome none the less....
Good review I do think you missed one crucial element that the game is very cheap as its only £8 a lot of it shortcomings can be forgiven. It would’ve been nice if they included the option to play the original . And I can see they were going for the streets of rage 4 style visuals and yes, I do prefer the original graphics.
I bought it because I love the original and it never got released on any console I know of so I played it on open bor on my PC a couple years ago and then I played it on a raspberry pi after that. This definitely feels off. It was only $8 on PlayStation so I grabbed it and I beat it already and I'm like I guess it was worth eight bucks but none more than that. You can change the music back to the original one. Then you can make the scan lines and stuff. Look like the original but they definitely should have included the original in the package. Not like it's a rights issue because they remade it with options for the original music so I don't know why that was left out.
I paid five dollars for the original game on the Switch years ago and that is gone smh......its gone man. Makes me think twice about buying digital junk
Seems Ok to me... the old one doesn't run smoothly over emulators. I feel a reboot of this was due, plus also would like to see a return of KNights of the Round, Warriors of Fate... and maybe Golden Axe. Particularly Golden Axe with full 2D HD graphics would be perfect!
What an odd propostion this remake is. An obscure Beat 'em Up with a dedicated fanbase and gorgeous visuals gets remade into a half-baked, worse looking take on... Mayhem Brawler, I guess? This never had a chance of getting people excited... it's so odd - I'm sure they would have made more money and gotten a better reception had they just polished up the original version and added a couple convenience features, or maybe an artwork gallery or some challenges and the like instead. Now you can't even purchase the original version on GoG anymore either - I really wish publishers would stop removing originals when remakes get released in general, that's so goddamn ass-backwards.
Thats weird because i could have sworn the original one was on the switch. Honestly this remake is on a 50% sale and even at that im not dure I'd play it over the other brawlers available
The original game was removed from GOG store when the remake was announced. Was a horrible port on pc. Anyway. I guess the same happen on switch. Original removed so can only buy the new?
@@MrFroggster it was available on the Switch before, the original version but it was delisted not only that all the games under Johnny Turbo's Arcade are not available..
@@iraymundcastro8632 Yup, I have it on the Switch. You can still redownload it whenever you need to (I bought an OLED model this summer to replace my OG version), and I was able to download it again. Just no new purchases are available.
That score seems a bit harsh, is it really that bad? I kinda want to try it now lol. If you enjoy the original, there's always MAME, with original cabinet bezels and all.
We’re they going for a comic book kind of vibe? It’s just not really a pleasing art to the eye. Props to them for trying but I’ll stick to Shredders Revenge. I appreciate the review! 🤙🏻
Streets of rage did great things for new beatm-ups. But cursed the world with its art style. It works for them but every other beat-up as flooded the market. It's extremely poorly done here too.
Night Slashers isn't on the e-shop because what you mean is called Night Trap. Night Trap had the controversy together with Mortal Kombat, not Night Slashers. Which makes the whole "morality" spiel by politicians look even goofier.
Just bought this on PS5, extremely disappointing. Graphics are ok but I hate the gritty film grain that they added that you cant disable. Also had the same issues with controls and button mapping, surely someone noticed this during testing before release.My character also has a habit of running when I am walking about.

I guess I was lucky to snag the original version rereleased on Switch. It’s solid!!
This remake is as soulless as the enemies you fight, the original was delisted so they could sell this trash, I'm glad I had bought it beforehand
I wish they kept the original version avaliable along side the remake, or at least gave the option to toggle on the original sprite work the way they did with the soundtrack.
the new graphics are horrendous.
I just played the original they look alright compared to the original sprites.
You're right new graphics takes away the whole feel of the old one
It's look you are confusing graphics with art direction and art style.
Anyway, I don't like the way this remake of Night Slasher looks.
Looks llooks like if the cartoon Archer was a beat-em-up
The OpenBoR version, NightSlasher X is also worth a play.
I was just thinking that too, it was so good. But I forgot how old it was now, kinda hard to find a good place to get it anymore. Most of what I find now are mods people did of X.
Yeah it's awesome
And Ash as a playable character

Man the original art had such a good 90s anime look to it. Why would you mess it up that way?
They need to fix the bugs in an update & add a bloody skill tree. So you can unlock new moves. They also need to add better modifiers too.

My gosh what a compelling argument. You’re a modern devs dream customer
Totally agree with you people this days are overhating everything
Every Retro Classix game is gone.
always wanted to play the Og arcade game . this is on the playstation store for $7.99 seems its not worth it
We’re they going for a comic book kind of vibe? It’s just not really a pleasing art to the eye. Props to them for trying but I’ll stick to Shredders Revenge. I appreciate the review! 🤙🏻
The original was delisted before the release of the remake
In case anyone is curious about the original and its look.

I will buy before delisted
so no new male playable hero? can you play the same character?
Streets of rage did great things for new beatm-ups. But cursed the world with its art style. It works for them but every other beat-up as flooded the market. It's extremely poorly done here too.
yes considering the only way to play this is on mame or or an actual arcade system.
Night Slashers isn't on the e-shop because what you mean is called Night Trap. Night Trap had the controversy together with Mortal Kombat, not Night Slashers. Which makes the whole "morality" spiel by politicians look even goofier.
Not totally sure I am reading this comment correctly but Night Trap is mentioned in the review!
a rusty lamp, for a rusty looking remake 😆
Well at least you guys didn't blow 400 million making this blunder.
I like the idea of a horror beat em up but yeah the art style doesnt look great
Original is on Antstream
I love beat em ups, but this random resurgence of the genre is making me feel like most are cash grab attempts.
Physical?
Another Data East game, Joe and Mac, got remade with an awful artsyle too.
God please just release an arcade archives instead
I think it's pretty
I’m going to avoid this one like the plague
Just bought this on PS5, extremely disappointing.
Graphics are ok but I hate the gritty film grain that they added that you cant disable. Also had the same issues with controls and button mapping, surely someone noticed this during testing before release.My character also has a habit of running when I am walking about.
Not a fan of tablet art. The original art was so much better. E-Zpass. I'll just play the original.
Visuals are way too clean and kinda cheap looking. Fun game, but I'm passing on this remake. I'll play the og on our iiRcade in the game room.
I'm not a fan of the new style, it legit looks worse! I wished the original game was included in this.
Original looks better. Bet it plays better too. The aesthetic looks so generic here.
