It looks like smeared dogshit compared to the arcade. Instead of playing with shit, just get good.

Two worked fags. Get good means uppercuts spams and autuism. Special moves are useless on high.

NES Contra and Super C both exceed their arcade counterparts in gameplay. Much faster and more fun.

NES Bionic Commando is basically an entirely different game compared to the arcade but so much better.

[Anonymous No.5478281]

>>5478272
I figured uppercuts were the most useful thing on MK2 when I first played it at age 7.
Also, I remember the SNES version being significantly harder than the Genesis one.

what makes SNES vs better? asking as a curious fan who played this to death on SNES (during era & recent EMU) but didn't complete it via MAME nor in Arcades when I was a wee lad

[Anonymous No.5478304]

hmm you might be right OP, off the bat i notice the sounds and colors not as vibrant as SNES

SNES UN Squadron has multiple extra planes you can get rather than being forced to use one. More stages too. The final boss is a disappointment compared to the giant ship you fight in the arcade version but that's all.

[Anonymous No.5478392]

Graphics and music are more different than worse, and the gameplay is better and more fair.

[Anonymous No.5478406]

The gameplay is more shallow compared to the original but I like the Atari 2600 port of Battlezone better. Color graphics, no tank controls.

Marvel Land, Atomic Runner Chelnov, and Slap Fight on the MD. Bubble Bobble on the X68000 was also superior.

No, megadrive version is a tighter game with better level design and more tactical gameplay. Both the arcade and SNES versions are sloppy, the level design is terrible and you can nearly outrun the camera so enemies can't touch you.

how so?

I fully agree and Gamer mode on SNES U.N. Squadron STOMPS the arcade in terms of difficulty.

[Anonymous No.5479552]

>>5478225
MERCS on SEGA Genesis is also superior to the arcade original.

You just prefer the SNES version because your health automatically refills when on critical after a few seconds, you dirty casual.

[Anonymous No.5479574]

>>5479560
What? The SNES version is arguably more difficult because the health bar is less lenient. After you get hit, you need to wait a few seconds without taking another hit (or you will die) for it to refill but the healthbar never refills fully. In the arcade version this doesn't exist and the healthbar acts like a normal healthbar

[Anonymous No.5479575]

> your health automatically refills when on critical after a few seconds
Dude, that varies based on the difficulty level and character that one chooses. I've beaten the SNES versions using Shin on Gamer. That is as hard as it gets because if you get hit, your recovery time is not anywhere close to three whole seconds.
Hold Up on controller 2 (I think) to unlock Gamer mode via controller 1. Good luck, we're all counting on you.

[Anonymous No.5479589]

>>5479574
Actually, you're right. Not sure what I'm smoking because my earlier comment regarding the recovery time is revered. Hey, it's been a while since I played it, but the point is, if you get hit on Hard or Gamer on the SNES version you're fucked unless you're quick because you're extra vulnerable until you recover. The arcade version is just an exercise is memory, while the home version is insane and might kill you.

Perfect conversion that featured a new hidden mode called Sybubblun, which had graphics based on the Syvalion arcade game.

There is no arcade version of that. The arcade version is completely different and it was ported to the atari lynx.

Unironically Super Mario Bros. The arcade version gradually mixes in stages from the Lost Levels and it has a far better difficulty curve than in the NES version, where 8-1 hits you like a brick wall.

>Bullshit artificial difficulty to milk coins out of your pockets
>SNES version retains the bullshit, removes the ability to use coins

Yeah, that makes it worse because you literally can't play it, same with every arcade port that didn't just give you the ability to infinitely credit feed.

[Anonymous No.5485405]

I always found the SNES version easy, even on the hardest difficulties, but I would milk the transport truck bonus stages for cash to buy the best planes early on.

Its not bad but 25 lives? Were they for real? The minigame is a joke. Bosses are also garbage compared to the arcade version and level design really goes to shit in the last level, feels like it's a series of debug stages except with a nicer background. Still one of the better Shinobis but I prefer the arcade despite some flaws.
