Had the PlayStation version of this and spent hours with those fighting waitresses. I mean the game of course. Anything with a bunnygirl kicking butt is automatically good. Anyway that music brings back so many memories. Used the game music player to put the songs on audio tape and listened to that in a Walkman for a very long time. Good times.
I had a funny introduction to Variable Geo. Back in 1998 or so when I was in high school, a buddy of mine and I were doing what we could to get anime tapes and we came across a fansubbing group and sent away for some tapes. All we could really do was go by the titles and hope for the best as there was no indication at all what each thing was. My friend picked Variable Geo among some others, and I put the order in. He came over when the tapes arrived and I believe VG was the first tape we put in to check out. The premise of a tournament of fighting waitresses was pretty funny to the both of us, and I still like that concept. The "adult" aspect of it was a surprise. That's never really been my thing, though I don't think it was heavily pronounced in the early episodes of the anime. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the show was a bit more tame than the original PC98 game. There's some weird stuff on that platform. Good to see most of the games are pretty decent, aside from the indecent stuff.
The first VG OVA penalty was toned down from the PC98 penalty. In the OVA universe the max level penalty was no higher than what it showed there. Now the OVA made for the very last game in the series was a straight adaptation of the source material, minus most of the source material. Which is a bit of a shame as that game had the most ambitious story since the AVG arc.
The Sufami and Saturn versions are the best ones here on account of the effort TGL put into using those system's capabilites. A shame that VG2 wasn't widely ported to other systems (It was a PS1 exclusive I beleive) as that's an excellent 2D fighter in its own right which improves on the first game in every way.
@@RetroCore I don't think it was; they're completely different. AVG 2 is probably the game in the series that had the most effort put in to being a legitimately solid fighter. They also put out VG Custom on the PC, which used AVG 2's assets (badly) and had H-scenes. That one was a bit of a shame as it could have been a PC version of the Playstation game, but instead it feels cobbled together.
Aside from the obvious difference between the pc98 and She's versions I never knew the other ports were that different, thanks a million for this thoroughly entertaining video my friend.
Great content as always. I like how in the first two version the shadows lighten when the characters jump in the air and how the shadows darken when two shadows combine. Decompress ♡
Off to Google for me then! I'm a dirty bugger :V The music is a high point too in this fighter, I've heard a few tracks from it before, especially the intro- that sax melody is very memorable! ~
I found this series from the OVA. It wasn't advertised being based on a fighting game on the DVD. I found the concept so bonkers that I had to see it at least once. I tried the Advanced VG 2 on the PS1 last year. It was pretty fun. The PS1 version has no hentai images. You can just play it as an absurdly themed fighter.
If I had no game footage without the era of console and computer gaming spoiling it, I could tell right away this was released sometime in the mid-90's. Those are the most mid-90's anime characters I've ever seen.
I have a preference towards 1980's anime aesthetic, especially gag based series. Dr. Slump and Kinnikuman in particular. I also have a soft spot for the 70's stuff as well.
OMFG this game is THAT 90s, it couldn't have been conceived in any other decade. By the way, the NEC PC-9801 graphics are so "peculiar", pixel art at its best, even if the other versions are objectively better.
@@mopeybloke Naw. Today's stuff is a bit too over-designed. Compare anime from the 80s and 90s to today. The girls here look like normal people, which you can't say for, say, Guilty Gear.
Don't know how you decided to make such a battle of the ports (was it really in the list you share some weeks ago?) but it was very funny to show and made me discover a game I had never heard of. Once again, a nice saturday morning with my coffe on you channel! 😀
Is there a reason for every PC98 game having a super badass OST? I mean, even dumb hentai RPGs and visual novels have great soundtracks on that system.
Saturn version seems like the more desirable port here. The floors in the PSX version seem like they are polygon based while Saturns is 2D art with a weird perspective.
After being positively surprised by Asuka 120% on the PC Engine I might have to give this a shot in the near future. I can't believe how choppy the original PC98 version is.
I love how Japanese games and animes can pick up the most absurd plot and run away with it. And, at the very least, it's interesting and, very often, pretty good. I think you guys have some weird gift. xD
I'd say Japanese programmers had very keen imaginations (though strange at times), while western developers just did the same old boring thing over and over again.
"We now got an insiders perspective of the dreaded world of violent Joeishi revolutionaries."* *The dreadful, violent world of Joeishi consist of unemployed adult men with nothing better to do than fight over what Idol is a better girl. It cracks me up every time! 😅😅😅
I 'm sure that the most censored version is the SFC one, another time. Saturn, this time, is the better way to play this game, for more than playable reasons xD. Thanks!
Fine, here we go again....... ... another fighting game that has unknown slowdown issues in the PSX but not in the Saturn. Wait, what? You were expecting me to say 'something else'? Hah!
Great video. I thought this game was more ports. Hope for more battle of the ports about games that was originally a H. Or a visual novel and for the home consoles, they change it. 👀✍🏻
Superb! From one Awesome female fighter to another. I may not have the experience with VG as I do Asuka 120%, but I love them just as much. PS1 is my favorite of the 1st game ports, from what I played. The Saturn release looks fuckin' sick, especially the performance. My favorite overall is Advanced Variable Geo 2
@@angelriverasantana7755 Maybe, but deciding which is better and which is worse is quite debatable. They both have positives and negatives that surprisingly make it a fair fight.
Hey Mark! Glad you've been doing a lot of PC Engine CD material! Hope you eventually do Popful Mail and maybe.....someday......Valis IV! :D Keep up the good work sir!
Ah, catering to every taste whether pervy or non. You even get to choose between Genki Girl, Glasses Girl, Elegant Girl, Tall Tough Girl, Vaguely Underage Girl ... a little something for everyone.
(next BotP: a series retrospective of Cho Aniki) (just kidding, each game in the series appeared on only one platform, except for the one with digitized graphics on the PS and Saturn, and Cho Aniki Zero on the PSP and Android)
I remember I used to play this on the ZSNES emulator back when I was a whee lad. Me and my friends played the SNES port as a guilty pleasure, but had no idea the original version was a hentai game lol. The PC9801 version looks kind of impressive due to the large character sprites though I don't know how commonplace that is on the 9801. I haven't played a lot of games on that PC. Is it also common to have speech samples on games for it too?
Well Advanced VG 2 was PS1 only which came out in 1998 and was a vast improvement on Advanced VG with them adding in combo counter, super bar meter, multiple supers, cancels, chain combos, and improved graphics so....Sony FTW
The pc98 VG is just another game compared to the later games in the video, they are NOT ports. The only port of the pc98 game is the very obscure taiwanese msdos version.
PC98 has a strong anime feel but sluggish and strachy audio. Turbo CD is a slight leap forward despite the hardware. SNES is (mostly) good. PS1 is a massive improvement. Saturn has a decent flow.
The Saturn version is another one of those irritating games where the sound output is mono despite settings. The music on the disc sounds much better than when it's played in-game/same as the Playstation version. There were a bunch of Saturn and Playstation games that did this. Didn't the testers check the audio?
Unlike Asuka 120%, I didn't really cared too much about VG until the second PS1 game, that one is damn good. The music in the PC-98 games is also pretty good, not a fan of the music from the CD versions, it lacks something for me.
@@RetroCore OH. MY. GOD. TELL ME ABOUT IT. If you want to see peak western stupidity however, check out Twitter on the western side. I assume your Twitter brings up Japanese feeds/trends considering you live there, but take one click on any western feeds/trends and become disappointed in humanity immediately after.
Variable Geo isn't amazing and is a far cry from even Asuka 120% Limited Burning Fest, but it's not the worst fighting game. Still, the only reason anyone was buying these games-aside from those trying to complete a full console collection-was for the anime titty action. Mark suffers through all of the hentai so we don't have to (and he takes tons of screenshots to include in his ultimate fan fiction: Advanced V.G.: Advanced Virgin Girls) lol.
This game, and Asuka from last week seem to be the inspiration for the fighters made today with an entire female cast. Except for the hentai part, thankfully that didn't carry over, never saw the appeal in cartoonish women showing off their goods. In this day and age there are plenty of places young guys, or old guys can go and see the real thing, a video game should not be a place you look for stuff like that.
@@jesuszamora6949 When you have people talking abnout whacking off to cartoon characters instead of real living breathing human women, that's a problem. Has nothing to do with art, but things in life that can lead to some disturbing things. You kind of missed my point.
The pubic area censorship is hardly anything to be surprised by. From what I understand, that's some Japanese law regarding not showing genetalia. I don't get it myself, but whatever. Pretty much anything that's not the PC98 version is better than the PC98 version, but obviously the Saturn is top dog here, then the PSX, and finally the PCE-CD with 6-button pad. Honestly, I don't know how you play these games with a two-button pad...
@@RetroCore Well, I'll defer to your expertise, as I'm not quite as familiar with Japanese law and custom as you are. :) On a side note, a youtuber I follow named "edgeyberzerker" played through these games, and she had quite the blast with them. You should check her out. :)
wow first for once lol and NEC's pcs weren't bad computers but nothing but mostly hentai from what I've seen ...lol no hentai? sure ya won't get deported? and I bet ya 500 yen in the later versions the fans said:if there's no tiddys.. whats the point?"
Yep, the only reason people played the PC98 games was for the dirty images. They're pretty sick really. Not sexy at all. Hentai is not my type of thing.
@@RetroCore Man, they weren't kidding when they said almost the entire PC-98's library is composed of hentai games. Gotta take advantage of that 640x400 resolution somehow to make the hentai images sharper, lol.
@@solarflare9078 Sometimes, you find some games like the Farland Story series, a Fire Emblem/Shinning Force like game, which are totally devoid of any hentai elements.
Yeah, once again the PS1 (and Saturn) version fuckin’ slaughters the PC Engine (and Super NES) version!! Like I said before, any game on the PC Engine that has a PS1 version naturally will be superior to it because you know, next-gen (for the time) hardware, better specs, better graphics, better music, well better everything. You get ‘em, Sony! Destroy NEC in the process! And they very well did because the PlayStation absolutely slaughtered the PC-FX during that generation!!! Not to mention, Advanced V.G. 2 on the PlayStation (not PC-98) is a fantastic game in my opinion. It improves over its predecessor. Adding new moves (I think), new characters, new music and backgrounds as well as a power gauge (at least that’s what I like calling it). This must be said and the world needs to hear it: Sony’s platforms (PS1-5, you probably saw that coming) have an excellent lineup of fighting games! No wonder Sony supports EVO.
You call this "battle" but there is no actually make it a battle, you just run different versions, i always expect at the end the final verdict like you did before in some battle of the port videos
Advanced VG2 on the PS1 is still one of my favorite games on the system. Quite a huge improvement in graphics and gameplay
5:42 man, the disco/bar stage on the SFC looks pretty great with all the transparency lightning effects and animated screens
You know how to identify the game on a few music notes by just hearing the same *sax instrument* at the intro in every port.
Had the PlayStation version of this and spent hours with those fighting waitresses. I mean the game of course. Anything with a bunnygirl kicking butt is automatically good. Anyway that music brings back so many memories. Used the game music player to put the songs on audio tape and listened to that in a Walkman for a very long time. Good times.

Adding new moves (I think), new characters, new music and backgrounds as well as a power gauge (at least that’s what I like calling it). This must be said and the world needs to hear it: Sony’s platforms (PS1-5, you probably saw that coming) have an excellent lineup of fighting games! No wonder Sony supports EVO.
You call this "battle" but there is no actually make it a battle, you just run different versions, i always expect at the end the final verdict like you did before in some battle of the port videos
I've never gave a final verdict though. Just say which I prefer. In this video I didn't say but I think the Saturn is best followed by the SFC
A good series of fighting games with some unfortunate roots. Read up on it on Wikipedia and shudder.
@@teddym2808 Seconded. Checked Wikipedia and found nothing out of the ordinary.
