I didn't play the 32X version of Mortal Kombat II until recently. I was completely blown away by it. Very close to the Arcade version in terms of visual fidelity and it has the Genesis soundtrack. That's a win for me. Makes me wonder what Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 would've been like on the 32X.
Hell yeah ssf2t was cancelled but who awesome it woulda been on 32x Akuma on 32x !
The 32x version is excellent, I have both and it’s one of the best reasons too hook up the mushroom. Plus, I find it slightly easier than the Genesis one, which is just unfair after the 5th fight
I think it is easier. Probably why the default difficulty on 32X is medium and on Genesis its very easy
@Anthony Cook it’s so painful
@Brian Babin Pretty much
Love this breakdown. We had the 32X version growing up and loved how close it was to the arcade
@D core snes plays well but was never a fan of the pastel look of this version, mainly in the characters. The audio was extremely muffled and low pass as well.
@D core You could play it perfectly in a genesis. And you would even have a game with better animated characters and higher resolution. In addition to this, the gameplay was exactly the same as the arcade. All advantages!
Your the only person i heard of who had the 32x as a child
D core FACTS. MK2 on SNES is the best MK game of the 90’s.
This version was comparable to the SNES, where as the Genesis version was awful.. Probe did a lazy job with the first two MK games..
Couldn't see myself going back to the Genesis version if I had the 32X one
I have both the Genesis and 32X versions. I couldn't go back to the former, but I noticed this odd glitch if you leave the 32X version on for a long time, the game glitches out with an orange screen of death
@@MisterAutist Try hooking up the Sega 32x to a Genesis model 1#
It doesn't glitch because it's more of a solid stable unit for 32x...
Sounds like you use a Sega model 2# You need to get special metal clips to keep the Sega 32x sturdy to keep it from crashing and freezing
🙏🏻☯️🥶‼
The genesis soundtrack is impeccable. Still my favorite MK of all time.
Mortal Kombat 2 is the Goat. I first played it at Walmart when it had a arcade section.
MK one's Genesis soundtrack is one of my favorites
Unrelated but, Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack.... The goat of all 16bit soundtracks.
@@throttlebot Yes, followed by Sonic 2
@@olschoolTonyCarter yeah I'd go with that. The Sonic 2 soundtrack is pretty awesome.
The Genesis version seems unfinished after watching this.
Agreed
Even back then, it looked embarrassingly lazy compared to the snes ...
@@ConsoleWars I also agree because Mortal Kombat 3 for Genesis had all those missing features, it is not like the Genesis couldn't handle some more voice samples and details.
32x was a 32-Mb cart Genesis was a 24-Mb cart. Those 8-Mb are the reason the content was added. The better color and voices is all the 32x version actually added over the Genesis version.
Also the Genesis and SNES went different routes with their ports. The SNES has lowres sprites/backgrounds, has less fighter idle animation but retains most Speech and low punch.
The Genesis has high res sprites/backgrounds, but misses tons of speech and low punch, the color usage isn't a memory thing.
@@supersexysega but why the mk3 version of Genesis was so much better? Maybe I am wrong but I remember mk 2 European version on Mega drive having voice clips. Perhaps it's just a false memory but I can't check because I don't have the cartridge and I should take it from a friend of mine that doesn't remember where his old games are stored
These small details were considered major cons for me back then.
That's why although i had the game on my Genesis i still went to hang on in Arcades only to watch the game and listen to its sound track and sfx.
Same here. It was nice that I had the game at home for my Mega Drive, but I always hated the fact the sound was missing and also the endings. Shao Kahn's commentary was so cool in the arcade. Then I saw the SNES version and was very angry and envy.
@@SonySupporter Aren’t Shao Kahn’s voice clips missing in the SNES port too? I watched a few play through and the only thing he says is “You will die Mortal” during his fights.
@@TheWaynelds Almost everything is there in the SNES version. Danger laugh, announcements rounds, victory, "superb", fatality, babality, friendship, etc.
None of these are available on Mega Drive version.
Also no endings and no Goro's Lair stage in Mega Drive version.
@@TheWaynelds no, it's all there in the SNES-MK2, even the (slightly muffled) original soundtracks are included
32X version is still missing de endings pics from the Arcade and SNES versions.
Though it doesn't sound like it, the music on the 32X version is slightly enhanced. it's harder to notice when playing on emulators or the model 2 genesis while with the model 1 it's easier to notice if you have headphones on.
The same slight enhancement was also done to the 32X versions of the WWF games.
Please keep these videos up. Can you compare 32X Primal Rage to Genesis Primal Rage?
I had the 32x version when I was younger and still have the snes version. I personally prefer the 32x version over the snes because the sprites look a lot better. The sound on both are good but both have flaws in the sound department, for example the 32x still has the annoying grunts that the mega drive has, and the snes has a lot of echo sounds and a higher pitch than the arcade. The intro on 32x also wipes the floor over the snes, the story is all done in text and the character boxes are small. 32x has more frames of animation but it only fixes some of the win poses. Baraka now has his win pose from the arcade instead of bowing, but Johnny Cage still puts his arms in the air and doesn't finish off with crossing the arms... The differences between the two are minor, and it really is down to personal preference.
@D core cool story bro
"the sprites look a lot better". The only Sega console from those days that might achieve that is the Saturn port of MK2. However almost nobody owns that and it suffered many problems as well. All things considered the SNES port was an incredible achievement. There was the PC port too, which I owned but don't remember how it was different from the SNES.32X retains the fart noises from the Genesis and most embarrassingly of all the endings are horribly defective; they simply display the intro picture there with the text while SNES has two completely novel pictures for each ending not to mention that Shao Kahn's death is super dramatic and special on SNES. His exploding body visits all the lairs while uttering "no,nono!" and kick ass music starts playing as he explodes with a proper sound instead of the damp fart noise of the Sega consoles. Actually on Saturn Kahn's death has good sound but is a glitchy mess. Sega just completely missed the mark on MKII. Even with two post-releases after the Genesis version they still could not do a better job than SNES in all aspects.
@@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252 I agree with you, the 32x port could have been arcade perfect, even better than the saturn as it wouldn't have had the load times. It is a very, very good port just some of the annoyances from the mega drive version are still there. As for developers saying the snes is the best port, they did say that but it was when referring to the initial ports, the 32x port came after the snes and mega drive.
The PC version was amazing, I had that too, it was very close to arcade perfect. The only minor differences I noticed (as a kid) was the font was changed on round X fight, X wins but other than that, it was on point.
@@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252 ua-cam.com/video/NrNAVmxdPhE/v-deo.html This is a good video highlighting the differences in detail and puts a lot of arguments to bed
You didn't notice the improved animations ? The genesis has cut animations. The roundhouse looks choppy and cage and baraka stop halfway into their victory pose on genesis for example.
I remember that Baraka stayed in a bow instead of Crossing his blades, but I don't remember what was different about Johnny Cage.
@@baalfgames5318 didn't cross arms
@@ajsingh4545 he didn't do that in the 32 X version either. He puts on sunglasses, kisses his hands and raises them up in both games.
@@baalfgames5318 wow...lazy fucks at probe
@D core obv no life troll
I still really like these reviews, thanks for doing them!
Thanks for watching them!
1:50 I thought that was Dan screaming.
It is. Nah, its the game.
@@ConsoleWars no. It was.
I had a Genesis and rented this game, I was impressed that Probe did better job! But then I played the SNES version at a friends house and was blown away! no more censoring! all those voices! Used the 32x money fund to get a Snes with MK2! Best decision ever!
I still kept the Genesis for Streets of Rage, 2, 3, Road Rash, 2, and sports.
kinda stupid since MK 3 was better on the Genesis.
@@cnk9822 But 2 was better on SNES! ...I was stupid to get SNES version tho! But was able to get the best games of both systems! Hello JRPGs, DKC, F-zero, Top Gear! join Shinobi 3, SF2 SCE, Road Rash, and Mutant league football!
@@RolandoMarreroPR yes and i agree the SNES rocks, but buying a new system for the sole purpose of playing the superior version of an already good game is... meh.
@@cnk9822 MK3 was terrible on everything as far as I remember. Couldn't bare myself to play any version of that game, not even the PS1 port. Arcade version had bad AI, SNES version had input lag, Genesis version had less fatality time and ugly graphic, PS1 version had lag with Tsung morph and load times, Game Gear and SMS both versions sucks with muddy graphics, bad sounds, and lagging control, best part is that those versions are only available outside the US so no loss right there, Game Boy version is even worst with choppy animations and lagging control, even the emulation ports on GameCube, PS2, PSP, and Xbox had problems with flickery and speed making the game too fast causing issues with button command. I'm glad they made Ultimate MK3.
@@cnk9822 lol it looked and sounded like shit on genesis
I always wanted a 32x growing up, even after it was a disappointment. Wish I still had my genesis. I miss that thing. Thanks for the vid Dan.
Thanks for watching!
Get one of the new mini mega drives! They comfortably run 32x games (even playstation games) once hacked
Absolutely nothing disappointing about 32x you just got some major insecurities and worry what people think of you
I knew I had made a terrible mistake getting the 32X once I played MK2. I expected an arcade perfect port but instead, it wasn't even as good as the SNES. I never understood why Sega didn't increase their color palette and sound capabilities. That's what really held them back.
The Saturn version was what the Sega 32X version should had look like but without load times and had all the voices.
It is a rush port. You only display sprite colors and little more colors for background purposes.
I was a hardcore MKII Arcade fan. I crazily remembered every move, fatality, friendship, babality for every character back then. I only had the Genesis version at home. As limited as it was, it was still good enough for me.
I’d be really interested if you ever considered making a video about how you research these types of videos. I always feel like you’re some genius for finding all these details and differences.
Do you have any idea how easy it is to research retro game stuff... names dates everythings right there man
This was awesome! I love these "What's The Difference?" videos!
Glad you enjoy them!
just came across your channel, awesome video I've always wondered what the differences were between these 2. I had the SNES version & my neighbor had sega 32x and we could never tell a difference.
Great video Dan! 👍
this series is great. thank you
I always enjoy your what's the difference videos thanks :)
2:00 That's understandable. Matt Furniss is a Genesis music god and you just don't mess with a god's work.
This is one of my new favorite UA-cam channels
was very expensive back in the day, but I would loved this version in 94. The sound was important to me and this had all the audio in too.
So in short it took Sega 32 bits to offer the SNES version. What I always found most peculiar of all, though, was why in the world the CD-based 32 bit Saturn version had worse audio than the carts of the generation prior.
so in short the video didn't mention anything about snes whatsoever.
@@greatsource5405 I think it's cause they had done a Console War episode of MKII SNES vs. Genesis already. But looking at this, it's clear the 32-bit Sega version was a lot closer to the SNES version than it was the Genesis.
@@Jolly-Green-Steve Very interesting! I never knew the Saturn's hardware well enough to venture into guessing where it all went wrong. I just remember picking up MKII for Saturn (after having the SNES version years before) and thinking what in the hell happened?
@@Jolly-Green-Steve Absolutely.
@@Jolly-Green-Steve is the same approach as king of fighter rom cart?
Love these videos.
Great video! Subscribed
Nice comparison review. 32X did have some good things going for it.
This video was... OUTSTANDING
Hats off to the 32X for the vibrant color palette and sweet character pics.. but unfortunately you still don't get the character ending picture. That's super disappointing when you consider the rest of the game looks and sounds so much better. Great comparison video Dan. I really enjoy these. 😊
Just got into retro emulation and these videos are incredible!!! Subscribe
Good stuff Dan!
Cool vid! However, when you talked about the gameplay - the 32x version has crouch punches (Down + Low Punch). This was missing in the Genesis port.
Yep. Same with the first MK. The Genesis versions with the six-button controller really just duplicated the single punch button on the 3-button pad setup. That's why you can do special moves with the wrong punch button on those versions. Which actually screws up some combos, too.
@@davezanko9051 a crouch punch in MK1 never existed in any version
@@greensun1334 Right. I was speaking more in general about how Probe did a hack job on the implementation of the punches on the six-button controller.
To this day, I feel like the 32X was an unfairly judged piece of hardware. Considering the low buy in, and what it achieved, it wasn't half bad. Had developers taken (or even had) the time to work with it, I think we would have seen some impressive titles. Still. It flopped and what we got were some marginally better games than what was seen on any of the 16 bit systems...and some that were just dreadful. Had they decided to make the 32X two years earlier, instead of making it a stop-gap for the Saturn, we would be talking about this piece of tech more positively.
@DejaVoodooDoll Essentially. Yeah. I mean at it's heart, the Neo Geo kind of proves that.
@DejaVoodooDoll If the Genesis/ Mega had a (I've learned this is the preferred nomenclature) PPC, such as the one used in the PC Engine, it would have been able to display far more colors on screen and tackled transparencies. Which interestingly enough, was about the only thing the SNES had going for it. Sound will always be subjective. Virtua Racing was a good example of the Sega running polys (assisted by the cart) quickly and smoothly. If you take time to look at Starfox (still a great game) you will note it runs at a snails pace and can't really do objects and backgrounds at the same time. The 32X, sadly was a rush job. Though it did show itself capable of handling textured poly's. I like it for what it is. The best way to play Blackthorn on a home console.
Had both versions. 32X & Genesis .....32 was definitely more of where it needed to be....but the soundtracks on both were extremely solid. Would play this game hours on end
Lazy effort on the sound side by probe. The soundtrack could have been touched up a bit as the 32x adds more sound channels and some even supporting instrument sampling like the Snes.
Say what you want about the 32X, it did have some good gems. This was definitely one of them.
also I had to recheck. I did not know goros lair had that green goop in the back ground. nice touch even if I didn't notice it as a kid.
This might explain why I say "Round1 FIGHT!" when referencing Mortal Kombat, while I've heard others leave out the "Round 1" while doing the voice.
Great video! I'm proud of you, Dan! I'll say 32x is better.
Thanks!
Recently first played the 32X version. It's a step up from the Sega Genesis version.
But does the 32X have Blast Processing?! Checkmate
Glad to see these videos coming out during these trying times! You rock, Dan!
I'm glad they didn't change the music in the 32x version, because it's perfect the way it is! You're welcome btw :P
Cool video ! Thanks a lot,
I love the Batman forever font.
I’ve never played the 32X version but honestly......it looks awesome.
Its def better than the genesis game
The Super Nintendo has a lot of what it took the 32X to do on Sega.
I prefer the yamaha sound chip sound over arcade. Just what im used to at this point.
Amazing!!
The genesis is also missing several frames of animations. Baraka is stuck at a bow on Genesis for example. The 32x is still missing a couple frames vs SNES but is a big step up. Also the characters are all the same size in Genesis/32× but smaller than SNES.
The characters on Genesis and 32x are then on SNES and have more idle animation.
I remember when i got this for the genesis. I WANTED SOO BAD TO PLAY A MK REMAKE and i was expecting all the voices and sound effects but i got ripped off! I always wanted the 32x but never got it. Wish i had now.. 😞😢
u forgot genesis is missing the low punch animation..present in the 32x port
What happens when you try a low punch? Nothing? Or do they kick?
@@MoneyManHolmes they uppercut
not true. There are animations for low punch. Uppercut only happened when you did Down+A. Low punch is the default punch on the Genesis (A button). Low Punch was A, High Punch was Forward+A, Low Kick was B, High Kick was C. Then if you were cool, you had the 6-button controller where each button had it's own Punch/Kick.
The only real weakness with the 32x is the music. They should have included proper arcade tracks for this one.
Nah. The Genesis score has way more character.
I grew up on Genesis MK II and SF II. I had Doom and Star Wars Arcade, but not sure what else I had on the 32X before going to Playstation.
Well after watching this I just realized that I had the SNES version of this game. I had the 32x new when it was $25! It came with Star Wars and I think I had two other games.
Growing up with genesis mk1, 2, and 3, I like it’s grunting and graphics more, because it makes it feel more like a 90’s game
Good to know.
You missed the sound quality around Raiden’s electric booms. Which one is power, or just bad ASMR?
I still have my Genesis from 1991. I bought the original Mortal Kombat for it and i still have it. I couldnt wait for MK2 and the main thing I wanted was better animated standing positions since they were choppy and missing frames from the MK1 version. Kinda funny that they used the smaller sprites in the 32X version instead of the larger arcade ones. The music probably had to be the same because of the chip on the Genesis.
I also heard Blackthorne on the 32x was the best. If that's true can you do that one too? I personally thought the controls were laggy but some people say that's how it is.
Excelente vídeo!! MK RULES!!
do ''eternal champions'' genesis vs sega cd
I was thinking of doing that, but its technically a sequel.
I dunno.
Should I do it anyways?
@@ConsoleWars I would still do it. Eternal Champions CFTDS is one of the best-kept secrets on the Sega CD.
@@ConsoleWars Do it but specify it's a sequel. It actually is story wise. Most people think it's just a CD version or some sort of a upgraded/special edition of the Mega Drive game, when it's not. For all purposes and intends, and even though it uses many of the same graphical assets, the Mega CD game is Eternal Champions 2.
Man, I always wanted a 32x growing up. I went from the Genesis, to Playstation, then back to the Dreamcast. Sigh... I wish Sega had a huge resurgence 😔
Wow, I had no idea the 32X version was so close to the arcade. I think the 32X had a lot of potential. It's a shame it didn't last. 😕
@D core took all of the shine from the Saturn along with taking all of the software titles too
@D core Not during its launch year. So your saying virtua racing deluxe, star wars arcade, tempo and doom were not solid titles for the launch year of the Saturn including being better than the 32x?
considering the color limitations of the Genesis, I thought the Mk2 and Mk3 conversions were a heckuva job
Are you kidding? Colors aside, the Genesis was capable of WAY better graphics than this. MK3 on the Genesis blows even MK2 on the 32x outta the water.
@D core Now you're just lying to yourself. Sure, games like MK3 were not envisioned when the Sega Genesis was conceived, but it was still very capable graphically and constantly surpassed it's own limits. Go watch the MK3 Console Wars ep to see exactly how good it was on the Gen.
In Mortal Kombat 2, Shao Kahn says his full line, "YOU WILL DIE, MORTAL!". For example, in the Sega Genesis and Sega 32X versions of Mortal Kombat 2, all Shao Kahn says is "YOU WILL DIE!".
I'm a *Mortal Kombat* junkie. I still have I, II, 3, & UMK3 for SNES & Sega Genesis, as well as MK II for the 32X. Then MK 3 for the PS1 in the long box, and MK Trilogy for the PS1 & N64.
thanks, i found !
Hi, can y'all do a super nes vs 32x? 🙏🏾
Why do the entrails still disappear?
I remember when my dad bought the 32x to me, and in the same week MK 2 was released. I went full crazy asking him buy the mk2 cartridge and he said "wait for 32x , there's a game included", and i said to him "nah, the chance to mk2 be the game is zero". So we went to the store and bought it.
32x delivered...guess the game? LOL
Thanks for the video! Brings back alot of nice memories
I have both the genesis emulated on my phone and I have the arcade version downloaded on my ps3 so I'm good to go. The mk arcade collection is amazing. It's only downloadable for ps3 and a physical copy was never released.
Back in the day if you liked sports games you got a Genesis. If you liked adventure action fighting games you got a SNES. MK2 was good on SNES
I had the SNES port first back in the day, then got the 32X port, then the Saturn port. The Saturn port looked and sounded the best, but had horrible lag and slowdown. I like the SNES the best overall.
Indeed, the SNES-MK2 is the most complete and best playable home-port, even in the creator's (John Tobias) eyes!
If console wars continues,then you guys should do pac man 2 the new adventures sega vs Nintendo
Nice comparison video but PLEASE consider using RGB cables in the future.
I can't stand the picture quality of composite video...
Do you know how to do that on a Mac? I have an elgato capture device. Any advice would be appreciated.
@@ConsoleWars I'm also using an Elgato capture device (HD 60 S). What you need is an SCART to HDMI converter and the SCART/RGB cables for the systems you wanna capture footage from. Some yrs. ago i already sent you photos of my capture setup. TBH i'm kinda shocked, that you still capture via composite cables...
@@iPlaySEGA Sorry, I don't remember that. I don't suppose you can give me some links so some good ones?
@@ConsoleWars Just send me a mssg. over on Twitter. ATM i'm kinda busy bc of the 60th SEGA anniversary but shure i can help to find a fitting converter for your capture setup.
I want to see comparison of of pc arkade kollection with gfwl vs arkade treasures ports (ps2 and pc, you can still find one one torrents, don't bother buying, it may have star force protection) vs actual arcade versions
32X version is the complete version, I would love to see the differences between the Genesis and 32X versions of WWF Super Wrestlemania
It makes me wonder why AVGN/James Rolfe trashed the 32X. It's not as bad as he says in his review/retrospective.
@@kenterminateddq5311 I think his main gripe isn't so much the games, but that the 32X is a poor attempt to extend the life of the Genesis. We already had the Sega CD. They should've just focused more on their next gen console.
@@ConsoleWars The only reason Sega made the 32X is because Sega of Japan was pushing for a stop gap system between the Genesis and Saturn, Sega of America suggested the 32X be an add on for the genesis as a better alternative, originally the 32X was supposed to be a console itself called the Neptune , I wish Sega didn't bother with either and just worked on the Genesis and Saturn but they didn't
You forgot Baraka's win animation. The genesis version missing sprites
32x might be my favorite mk2 port. Arcade quality and the best soundtrack which is the genesis version imo!
@D core huh?
D core is just a nintendo shit fangirl.. unbearable.
I remember getting a 32x new from Toys r Us for $29.99 in I think 1997 but Kmart was selling mk2 for $60 so I never got to play it :/. Played the hell outta some Doom tho
So basically the 32x is finally upgraded Sega to the Super Nintendo level
Better then the SNES version. The Genesis already had higher res. sprites then the SNES.
@@supersexysega I'm talking about in sound and the background visuals
@@supersexysega remember in console Wars Super Nintendo beat Sega Genesis on Mortal Kombat 2
@@shadycnetwork Yes the SNES version is the better overall package.
@@shadycnetwork Well I prefer the Genesis music and the sprites and backgrounds minus the color limitations are better on Genesis.
Seems like the 32x version is a lot like the Saturn version. I have it and LOVE It!...... Do a comparison of those 2 versions.
Are you have What's the difference? - Mortal Kombat 1 - Sega Genesis vs Sega CD
All of your bases are now belong to us!
The 32X port is a beefed up version of the Genesis port for the most part; it controls, looks and sounds better. Same soundtrack though.
Soundtrack is the best part of it bro
Back in the day the difference was 14 bucks
There's a higher fidelity in the audio of the 32X. It's a noticably wider soundscape.
I still wonder what MK1 and MK2 would have been like on the Genesis//Megadrive if Sculptured Software developed them instead of Probe.
Alot better than the trash we got.
It would've been like MK3 since Sculptured Solfware was the developer for both the SNES and Genesis versions.
@@primekiller5729 Bro, mk2 was the first game I ever got for the Sega Gen...and I was pretty disappointed. Graphically it was a huge step down from the arcade and was missing a ton of voice overs. But I just chopped it up to those being the times. 16bit systems just couldn't reproduce arcade perfect ports.....or so I thought. Cut to about a year later I go to my friend's bday party and he has it for the SNES. My mind was BLOWN. It was virtually arcade perfect and my 11 year old mind could not explain why there was such a difference between the 2 16bit ports. I cried myself to sleep that night. lol
@@primekiller5729 You're right, I forgot about that.
Yeah MK3 showed that the voice samples and screams could be done on genesis. It seems like Propbe was a cheap option. But they did replicate the arcade gameplay very well.
please redo vs on Mortal Kombat 2 SNES VS 32X
The SNES version was great. Very similar to the 32x version.
Snes at least had the arcade true ending
And without the need for an add-on of dubious value.
SNES-MK2 is just more complete and better
Why genesis and 32x had 8 bit like sound?
What's the difference between the 32x version and the Saturn of MK2?
Saturn has bad load times, some very different sounds, huge sprites, perhaps much better resolution and Shao Kahn's death is glitchy. I don't know about the secrets or unique aspects of the game other than what I said.
32x MK2 was the best home conversion. Had Sony not signed that 32bit exclusivity deal for MK3.... we woulda got an awesome close to arcade port of mk3 on the 32x!
Yeah & Sculptured Software would've done the port also. They did a great job on the Genesis version for what they had to work with. They probably would've competed well with the PS1 version cause there wouldn't have been any load times, but the music wouldn't hold up to the CD version sadly. Still would've been cool to see the quality of music they would've achieved on there or if they would've just used the Genny chip
By the time MK3 was released on home consoles the 32X had already been discontinued. PlayStation exclusivity or not, there would never have been a version of MK3 for the 32X.
Is there any way we can play this on android ??
The problem is the 32X version came out a lot later than the Genesis, and if I remember, MK3 in the arcade was already out. So it was like ehhh, why bother. Chances are you already owned the original and played it to exhaustion. Also, the Saturn and DOS versions were even better so it kinda made this seem sad. Same with the 32X port of NBA Jam.
The 32X version is a definitive one by FAR! As for game OST - I can't say they went for the worse, keeping the same OST MD version did. It's great, so... I don't mind it at all :)
I think that by using the Genesis audio for just the music and 32x do the SFX and voices, that the music sound slighly better on 32x.
What did it for me between the snes and genesis version was the sound of blood. Lol
so would you say the snes version is still better? or does the 32x hold the edge on that game? I wouldn't be surprised if the 32x were better.
Also, did the 32x fix barakas win pose?
I haven't seen it, but people say Baraka's pose is fixed.
