Final Fight 1 and 3 sucks there, the first Sonic Blastman game isn't that good, Spiderman games were never good, Gourmet Sentai is fun because the "LEL RANDUMB" factor than about its gameplay. Can agree with most of the list, Kunio-kun games are pretty solid there, Super Double Dragon is fun and you have decent ports with KotR and KoD.

Snes got a lot of them. Maybe not the best system to put them on, but it was the best selling system at the time in Japan, so whacha gonna do? I feel like Megadrive or PC Engine handled games with large multiple sprites better. Also, kinda off topic but I've never heard a good explanation for why every SNES arcade conversion has a weird super pastel color palette.

[Anonymous No.3485545]

Not trying to be hostile. But just simply LOOK at any of the SNES screenshots posted in this thread alone, or look Ninja Warriors. Everything is super pink and purple. I'd say they just appeared that way in comparison to SEGAs low 64 colors, but other "high color" systems at the time didn't have that feel. Ever really look at Castlevania 4? There are pink and green pixels sort of randomly scattered around the background tiles for seemingly no good reason.

[Anonymous No.3485549]

>>3485545

Are you the guy that hates Castlevania 4?
I can't remember any pink on Castlevania 4.

As for purple: >>3485496
That's a Mega Drive game. it has purple.

What's your point?

[Anonymous No.3485553]

>>3485549
I don't hate castlevania 4.

I was just asking if there was a technical reason for the unusually soft pastel colors of the SNES. If it's a "so what" issue to you and/or you don't know the answer go eat lunch or something.

[Anonymous No.3485562]

>>3485553

I believe it depends on the game, I don't think every SNES game has a pastel palette.

Look at games like Ristar and Dynamite Headdy on Mega Drive, they have pastel colors.
Look at games like Hagane and Demon's Crest, they have very dark, gritty color palettes. Castlevania 4 is also considered to be gritty, not pastel.

I think it has more to do with art direction rather than any technical reason.

[Anonymous No.3485569]

>>3485545
Maybe its just artists being lazy with the higher color palette.

Genesis' Golden Axe trilogy is pretty good. Golden Axe 1's controls feel more responsive than the arcade version. Golden Axe 2 is more of the same and Golden Axe 3, despite the plain and uninspired backgrounds for the time, has excellent gameplay (especially with the panther dude).

But the best Golden Axe is the Revenge of Death Adder, by far. Too bad it wasn't ported to the Saturn.

Ennnggh, no. Konami beatemups were shit. The simple act of hitting an enemy is so much more visceral in a Capcom game, between how they react and the sounds. Enemies, especially bosses, just react in a very flimsy, inconsequential manner in Konami beatemups. The grappling and throwing was usually shit. They just seem so much more designed to rob you than be skilled through.

I love fun.

The arcade versions of Final Fight and The Punisher definitely qualify as such, as do the Streets of Rage games.

The SNES beatemups were mostly okay-ish though, but anyway. Yeah. Simpsons, TMNT, Xmen. Garbage city.
