Battle of the Ports

Namco Museum wasn't even released in Japan.

 

I don't know about Tekken Tag on Dreamcast, But I heard rumors that Namco was considering at some point Tekken 4 on Dreamcast.

Tekken 3 through Bleemcast looks even better than Tekken 3 does on the PS3. Actually ALL games I've played through the Bleem Beta looked better on Dreamcast than PS3, that was just running through S-Video too.

 

Tekken 4 on DC would be awesome...I think the game is on the graphical reach of DC (with downgrading here and there)...But SC 2 would be the Sh$T..i mean...DC users deserved it for the support on SC1...Always having faith in somebody "porting" those games with some open source 3D engine or hardmodding the existing DC engines of Soul Calibur or DOA 2 to do the trick....No easy task i guess...

 

The PS1 port of Gun.Smoke has the text frm Mr. Driller btw!

 

Yeah, that was an error with the software used to build the show. I use the same basic template but for some reason the PlayStation text was kept and the new text not used My Patreon followers will all get access to the fixed version of the show.

Very late this week but it's here - Battle of the Ports - Gun.Smoke

 

great video like always.

 

Cheers!

 

That's because the Bleemcasts actively upscale the graphics and textures to the DC level, while the PS3 just straight emulates a PS1.

 

Battle of the Ports is out now - Gradius

 

@Yakumo , could you please give me a direct link to your VGA-HDMI converter?

Spoiler

I have found many of them on Aliexpress ofcourse, but they may look the same, but may work differently. Some people say, that it's not possible at all to convert VGA to HDMI directly without expensive upscaler hardware and similiar stuff. But I was always curious about any alternative cheap solutions. Thanks in advance.

I can but it won't do you much good as I bought it from Amazon Japan

That cute crazed witch, Cotton heads out in this weeks Battle of the Ports.

 

Another great show Yakumo, looks like a fun shooter, I haven't really played many Cotton games. Would you have a recommendation?

 

Everytime I see an X68000 I am jealous of Japanese gamers for pretty much getting an arcade on their desks while American PCs got jack and shit around the same time. SO MANY BAD Dos Games.

 

Ditto! We had the Amiga and ST in England and most conversion in hensight were shite! Looks like the X68000 was a class machine.

Back then we had no idea there was that sort of quality in the Far East.

Pure class and how I wish sh I could have experienced it at the time.

 

Always liked the Gradius series, even though i'm not very good at it. You should try Gradius V if you haven't yet.

How the first Cotton was never released for the Saturn?! That feels so wrong!

Anyway the X68000 must have been the dream machine back in the day, specially for the arcade game fans. Pratically every single arcade port for it it's incredible. Imagine having one of those at home in the late 80's / early 90's!

PS: Kudos for having captured the mobile port back in the day.

 

The best would be Cotton Boomerang on the Saturn. It's basically an enhanced version of Cotton 2 which is also on the Saturn. Both games were also on the arcade. The worst Cotton game is the Dreamcast one called Rainbow Cotton. The idea was nice but the 3D targeting system on it is awful. The SFC game, Cotton 100% is also pretty good.

I want to buy that but it cost so much. One day I will.

Yeah, it is very odd. I'd love an original or even reprint of the PlayStation version but either version cost from 7000 yen!

Yep, in the west we got stuck with shitty Amiga, ST and DOS Ports while in Japan they had almost arcade perfect Ports in the home. How great it would have been back then.

I have Gradius V on my PS3 even on easy it's hard.

 

Classic arcade dirt bike action this week with Enduro Racer

 

To be honest i never liked Enduro Racer at the arcades. It was just too easy to crash constantly and made the game not enjoyable.

The Master System port actually it's challenging and fun. The timing of using both down and up to make bigger jumps is essential. At the time though i felt like the game could've have more tracks. So the internet arrived and i discovered the japanese version actually had more tracks! Why Sega went for the cheaper option 1mb cartridge? i have no idea...

Anyway, why Sega never
