    The silliest thing about Super Donkey Kong 99 is, for whatever reason, there's a Michael Jackson shout on the title screen. Of course, bootlegs tend to have some kind of silliness like this, so it's par for the course.
    That, and there's the ending where it's DK and Ditty just staring at each other, unless you're playing the "Super King Kong 99" revision where there is a proper ending animation!

    7:25 A little tip for graphics, see the dithered waterfalls with cross-hatch pattern in the background? There are special shaders in Retroarch that let you blend those into proper transparency while keeping rest of graphics pixel perfect, which IMO looks better than scanlines. Try mdapt or gdapt, or possibly sgenpt. Genesis / Mega Drive / Sega CD uses that effect a lot, it helps the waterfalls in Sonic, shadows in Lunar and lights in Streets of Rage.

No reason they couldn't make a proper version on Sega outside of Nintendon'ting.

      I'm sure it's possible to make a better version of Donkey Kong country on the Genesis. The bootleg one is a bad example lol. I would imagine they would have to remove some of the color from the graphics, since the Genesis can't support as many colors on screen.

    • @inceptional
      @inceptional 17 годин тому +1

      ​@@pojr They would definitely have to remove quite a lot of the colour, although it might not actually be that obvious if handled expertly, and likely reduce the quality of the backdrop gradients too. Genesis also can't support as many fully overlapping background layers and some of the transparency effects and such that are present in some of the levels either. And the FM audio wouldn't sound exactly the same as the PCM tracks on SNES, although still good regardless, just like the FM versions of the original PCM tracks in the Castlevania IV port to Genesis. But most of the rest would be doable me thinks.

    There are a few things I have to say but also correct you on
    1. I find it a little ironic that there’s even a bootleg lion King two even before the official lion King two movie which came out in 98, but the game came before in 95 or 96.
    2. You said you choose to play was both young simba and “adult” Simba. I say adult in quotations because that’s actually meant to be Mufasa and it’s more obvious on the character select in The Lion King 3.
    3. It’s so strange how there’s even super Mario world on the NES considering there are actually two official Mario games that have the sprites straight out of Mario world with those two games being Mario is missing and Mario‘s Time Machine.

    • @pojr
      @pojr  18 годин тому

    The NES had more bootleg games because there was a huge market for bootleg consoles like Dendy or Subor. They didn't have to worry about anybody lawyering up because they were selling wares in places like Vietnam and Nigeria.
    Also the Genesis had a surprising number of unlicensed full-fledged RPGs for Chinese audiences, and a few even have English translations now.
