#Gradius gaiden secret area update

many people say how incredible 3do is in video quality but cdi looks a ton better even than 3do. if you like really good quality fmv games though this system is for you. I own 4 different cdi's and tons of games and can honeslty say it has the most obscure videogame library of any system and I mean that both good and really bad. Me being from the netherlands the cdi was fairly popular here and is still very easy and cheap to come by. You are right though that the only PS1-only character is Marionette. and the PS1 version does have a few more options too. The Saturn version doesn't have color edit, does it. It doesn't take all that long to max out the levels, but still, it gets you a custom name and color for a character, which is cool. It lets you do a custom color scheme for your character, and then you can level them up by fighting. Have you played the PS1 version? The character-building mode is pretty cool.

Honestly what ever bonus content the PS1 version brings to the table, it's not enough to make it on par with or better than the Saturn version. You can even put the Saturn version in English if you want from that menu. A lot of those same options are available in the Saturn version under the hidden EX menu.

The Arcade Update modes really don't make that dramatic of a difference if I remember correctly, they basically change the music and a few other minor things. It's more of a secret feature in the later revisions that lets you play nothing but mirror matches. The only character missing in the Saturn version is Marionette, and that's only if you count that as a character.

It's something that the PS1 has but the Saturn port doesn't.Īnd DarkStalkers3 is a bit silly. The PS1 version of DarkStalkers 3 allows you to play either the standard ruleset, or either of those other ones. They basically are new rulesets for Vampire Savior. Vampire Hunter 2 and Vampire Savior 2, though, are arcade games released after the arcade version of Vampire Savior, aka DarkStalkers 3. As for Darkstalkers, though, Vampire Hunter is the second game, aka Night Warriors: DarkStalkers' Revenge.

Good Argument of PS1's loopholes though.As some people said, 'loopholes' really is not the word that you were looking for. Although there were loopholes around its underpowered tech, and other ways around its poor RAM bandwidth and low CPU memory, I'd rather get a true arcade experience then have some extra features that seem conveiant for someone who doesn't really understand Arcade style games.Īlso as I recall, DarkStalkers 3 and Vampire Hunter: Lord of The Vampire aren't the same game. PS1 was more basic and easier to program than Saturn. We could use + and - marks to express it a bit better when needed. But still it would be a personal thing (not any 'scientific' rating system is required here, something really relaxed), without any reason to explain it and even less to blame the another's rating.įor an example: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (B-) And use S only for outstanding/superb titles inside that genre. I think We should not list D quality titles. We could use something like: S (Superb)>A (Excellent)>B (Good)>C (OK but still relevant avoid generic cheapo titles). We could rate the games we list by using a single letter to represent the quality/how much we enjoy that game. Comments are welcome but without ripping the another's choices like I said, the honor system will be the base of the choices (for an example: listing PS1's Double Dragon (which is a very poor port by all accounts) as a good 2D fighter just to expand the list is a low blow IMO). I think you could start with the 2D fighters you find relevant/good/you have some personal preference in the Saturn side.
