He's got my vote. A president that will go out and clean the streets himself using only his fists, whatever he finds on the ground, and two buddies to back him up? Best president ever.
This game was a huge part of my childhood. I had two friends who were brothers and I would consistently go to their house after school. We played the HELL out of this game to the point that we started to actually get into wrestling and they had a trampoline where we would make up "moves" for wrestling. They would have the weirdest AWESOME games for the time. Their Dad would play Diablo or Starcraft in their living room while we played SNES/PS1 on the main TV. I've always considered those kids' Mom as a Mother from another Grandmother because she basically took care of me for several hours a day every week day for a LOOOONG time.
7:51 Chun-Li in the crowd! On the middle left! 10:32 Ryu with the red bandana on the middle right? 12:45 E.Honda? in the middle middle, wearing blue stripes on his face.
I like how they made King Rasta Mon's sprite white-skinned, but then made him vaguely jamaican and shoehorned in a monkey reference. Just read some profile info that says Dominican, but whatever-- but the info also said his japanese name was Missing IQ Gomez or something LOOOOL.. Capcom knows how to play it safe.
I want a Switch revival It should include... Leon S. Kennedy (he has suplex city, secrte move: Quadruple German Suplex and his RKO out of nowhere), Barry Burton, Sasquatch.
Capcom has never been known for updating its countries. For example, in Street Fighter II, it states that Zangief hails from USSR even though the Soviet Union no longer exists. In addition, Biff Slamkovich is suppose to be from Kiev, Ukraine, not Russia.
@@gunsharck Well said. It's really saddening how many kids now are triggered by videogame "logic". Back in the day we just wanted cool characters to pick to play for half an hour to kill some time. Now kids scrutinize the "lore", accuracy and political correctness levels for days.
Mike Haggar, the greatest success story. Wrestling champion, mayor, he beated both Mad Gear and Skull Cross. Mike Haggar for President. Haggar/Guy '28. Mike Haggar is the GOAT 🐐
Storyline wise, Haggar and Zangief were rivals on the wrestling circuit. Zangief copied Haggar's Spinning Clothesline and in return Haggar copied Zangief's Spinning Piledriver.
I love fighting games but with this one... I don't know... There are great 1:1 fighting games like the Street Fighter and KoF games f.e. - and great brawlers like AvP, the Final Fight and Streets of Rage series. To me, a wrestling game isn't my case... They even went back to traditional 2D style for Slam Masters 2. Best wrestling game tough!
i think the only arcade perfect version released only exist on the Capcoms CPS changer console so rare i think no footage exist on TH-cam ive looked everywhere!
Thanks for another awesome longplay Al! The sequel is a bit better because you have more characters and its more Street Fighter-ese then the original. Hope you do a longplay of that one in the future.
If that's the case just play Street Fighter. A wrestling game should have different controls then a straight up fighting game. A Great playthrough of a Great game.
(El Stingray») "Let's make it fast. I have a date with your sister." (Haggar») "I don't have a sister. And keep your hands off my daughter!" (El Stingray») 😳
Interesting point. Capcom was not very good at managing profile info and endings. As an example, in 1993, Super Street Fighter 2 didn't correct Ryu's victory quote, Guile's gender wrong victory quote and kept calling Zangief's country USSR, even if the USSR had colapsed years before.
@@persona83 Zangief may have just been laziness. World Warriors was released just before the fall of the Soviet Union, at first at least, they probably just didn't bother recording a new line for his country. Though they did not much excuse here.
@@suchiuomizu Yes, that's why I mentioned SSF2. It was a new game on a new system, yet Guile's "Are You Man blah blah blah" still annoys female fighters just like the Sheng Long bizarre mistranslation. Funny thing is that the SNES versions had it corrected as "Dragon Punch". The Zangief situation could have been corrected because there was a new narrator.
Ah, the old "defend your title" route to padding out a game... never a fan. I think only the Genesis version of Super Monaco GP added a good twist to it.

Always thought he was inspired by Jessie Ventura in predator

@@WarlockX4 Plus he solves the healthcare problem by showing everyone how to instantly heal by eating an entire roast dinner in one bite.
He became president with Tony Stark as his running mate in one of the Marvel-Capcom crossover game.
@@Cyberium That's a good running mate. Wonder who the rest of his staff and appointees are.

That's awesome 😎😎
The New York wrestler looks like John "Earthquake" Tenta.
R.I.P. 1963-2006
Dave Meltzer already gave that Mike Haggar vs Titanic Tim a 4/5 stars because it was obviously at the Tokyo Dome.
Looks like the best wrestling game of its generation.
If only Capcom had the rights to the WWF they would have made a killer game.
I don’t think they needed it… this was great on its own
Acclaim and its LJN division had it in the 1990s.
LJN was a complete joke
True warriors fight for honor n glory, n never for a pile of money. True warrior's pride.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember the double-screen 4-player cabinet that was made for this. It was one of the first times ever seeing anything like it.
8:26 "I've fallen and I can't get up!" Capcom legit put a meme in their game all the way back in 1993.
...wait do you think people weren't repeating funny things before like ten years ago?
LOL
Best wrestling arcade game
It's really strange how they have the same exact ring and crowd in every city around the world.
7:51 Chun-Li in the crowd! On the middle left! 10:32 Ryu with the red bandana on the middle right? 12:45 E.Honda? in the middle middle, wearing blue stripes on his face.
Wow you have sight bro
Ken's in the audience too.
@@streetstroller Where?
Capcom Represent 😎
Oddly enough Zangief is nowhere to be found...
As a Final Fight fan from back in the day, I'm pleased that you went with Mike Haggar too, Al. 🙂
Also, Jessica is adorable in this. 👍
We all know Mike Hager was pulling his punches to put on a show.
I like how they made King Rasta Mon's sprite white-skinned, but then made him vaguely jamaican and shoehorned in a monkey reference. Just read some profile info that says Dominican, but whatever-- but the info also said his japanese name was Missing IQ Gomez or something LOOOOL.. Capcom knows how to play it safe.
Yeah I didn’t like that shit either.
I like how Alexander the Grater looks like Big Van Vader and Gunloc is apparently related to Guile 😁
Oni is like Japan's answer to the Undertaker
I see Grater and think Vader... then he straight up comes out wearing a parody of Vader's entrance mask! Ha!
I want a Switch revival
It should include... Leon S. Kennedy (he has suplex city, secrte move: Quadruple German Suplex and his RKO out of nowhere), Barry Burton, Sasquatch.
After seeing this...they did a great job with the SNES port.

Its a game mate not a national geographic documentary. Besides at the time the CCCP existed

@@markg5480 So what you're saying is kids back then were dumber. Got it.
Actually Biff IS a Russian but his USA profile got it wrong
Biff Slamkovich is from Kiev, Ukraine.
I love the ring out advantage you put on sone of the opponents. Very interesting. 😀
Nice
Best wrestling game ever

Oni theme is my favorite
Love this game. I have no idea what I'm doing though.
Saturday Night Slam Masters Longplay (Arcade) [4K]
I played this for the first time in my life today I never played it before and guess what I loved it
Storyline wise, Haggar and Zangief were rivals on the wrestling circuit. Zangief copied Haggar's Spinning Clothesline and in return Haggar copied Zangief's Spinning Piledriver.
Bring someone from Saturday Night Slam Masters to the next Street Fighter 6 game. Like Street Fighter 6 Turbo. Please, Capcom.
Rumour has it that Scorpion was the real champion in this game
Too bad they never made sequels for this game.
There was a sequel
there was a sequel, but it was not a wrestling game anymore. more like another Street Fighter clone
@@shred79 what's the name of the sequel?
@@myanimeroom9350 its called Ring of Destruction or just Saturday Night Slam Master 2. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/VIdCM0Lcyrs/w-d-xo.html

God bless your family! Congrats fun job
I wonder how these guys would do against the gangsters in Final Fight
Great!! where can i find the correct move list?
It’s too bad Zangief is not on the game!
(El Stingray») "Let's make it fast. I have a date with your sister."
(Haggar») "I don't have a sister. And keep your hands off my daughter!"
(El Stingray») 😳
Review notes:
Cody Travers shoots on El Stingray and fucking kills him JBL style
Wish their entrances were longer
strangely vince didnt lawsuit this game
Why'd you start going for count outs?
in the introduction, a character is described, who lives in kiev-russia. Is this a premonition?
Haha

"Kiev, Russia"... The irony in this typo is eerie and badly timed.
Oh shut up you woke 🤡. At the time Ukraine was CCCP
I got my Capcom Arcade Stadium 2nd Xbox one s ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This game should get a mod where rings change
Great game but it could at least make you fight the wrestlers on thier own stages
Actually, the profile says it's after Haggar left Metro City's Mayor service.
Ah, the old "defend your title" route to padding out a game... never a fan. I think only the Genesis version of Super Monaco GP added a good twist to it.
Biff Slamkovich, home hown: Kiev *Russia*
that was awkward
they should've put jumbo and scorp in 1 vs 1 matches as well
36:40 Was that Ortega?
3:35 SPINNING PILE-DRIVER!
9:51 Where is guy and cody?
