said, it's got some great ports. Space Harrier and Virtua Fighter are fantastic for starters. DOOM is rough but a good port for the time. MK and NBA Jam are excellent, Star Wars Arcade is also great, etc. If you have a Genesis and find a 32X for cheap, I highly recommend. Since Chinese EverDriveMDs are ~$40 now, and play 32X games it's a great addition to any SEGA fan's arsenal.

In defense on the NG CD/CDZ those are 1:1 ports. PS1 ports have the framerate chopped, many animations deleted, terrible BGM and SFX, and the controls sucks. Those games are literally unplayable. The Saturn ports are WAY better.

The Super NES version is about as good as you can expect from the system. The Genesis version is a bit more gimped than it needed to be, but it was pretty clever how they managed to work around its limitations by simply extending the remaining stages.

Easy - most of those JPC ports were done by the original dev (typically Konami who were big sponsors of computer gaming) rather than by some third party code monkey who played the arcade game once and then shit out the port in a couple of weeks with a machine language monitor rather than a real assembler.

Yeah I failed to mention a 6-button pad is basically required. Any 16/32-bit ports of DOOM are just brutal to play after playing any modern rendition. Playing an FPS with a D-Pad is just fucking weird. But I still think it and the SNES ports were decent for the time.

I had it when I was younger, but looking at the gameplay video now it doesn't really look that bad. Yeah, shit is scaled back, but it runs mostly smooth and seems like an alright port and probably the best they could have thrown out on the GBC.

The polygons are more warped than the Playstation original, and because the Saturn can't do transparencies things like water and smoke have that ugly dithering effect. Not to mention all the awful pixelization.

These comparison screenshots claiming to be part of "fact based technical comparison" make me laugh.

You don't know what they used to capture the screenshot, and there is no way the 2D backgrounds look shit like that on the Saturn version. The MSPaint red&blue borders that not only come onto the picture (which, by the way, is cropped) but also don't even seperate both pictures properly (there is part of the right screenshot on the left of the red border...), as well as the watermark, show how serious this technical factual comparison is.

Comix Zone for the GBA is probably one of the worst ports I've ever played. It is utterly broken.

For Jam it's the 32X or the PS1/Saturn, for Hangtime it's the N64 port.

The PS1 port (which is based off of this one) is even more borked. LOAD TIMES EVERYWHERE.

Saturn was built with detailed 2D games in mind, for arcade ports and the like. Its 3D rendering abilities were an afterthought after seeing how the other companies were pushing it, so it doesn't hold up nearly as well.

Meanwhile inversely a lot of arcade ports get kind of fucked up on the PS1, like how you can't even tag team in Marvel Vs Capcom, but we got amazing 3D games like Spyro, Resident Evil, etc.

Saturn Doom was just a lazy port of the PS1 version which of course did not translate well in the end. If they built a version from the ground up like all those shooters Lobotomy Software did it could have been great. Virtua Fighter was rushed out the door to be a launch title for the Saturn just like Daytona USA and eventually got a proper port a little later.

I owned this version. It looks the part in the youtube video, but unfortunately they didn't port the player physics but instead rewrote them with poor collision detection to boot. Hell, even if there was some technical reason they couldn't base it on the SNES code there was definitely no reason they couldn't use the DK Land code which would have been far superior. The end result is that it looks great but feels bad to play. Wasted potential. The GBA version retains the GBC code rather than rebasing on the SNES so it sucks just as hard.

It plays almost exactly like the original Donkey Kong Land, which also had poor physics.

I don't mean literally the same code, but rather they ported the handling code. So rather than taking the SNES code and porting that they seemed to translate the GBC code. Hell for all I know the Z80 code is running in an interpreter. That can often be faster than doing the port for real.

DKL physics and level design is completely ass(especially the later levels), not to mention its impossible to see anything because everything melts together. Only positive thing about DKL is music, they did great job with it.
