    That picture of Cyclops and Ryu shaking hands remains as one of the most iconic ones in video game history.

    This game was so popular in the arcade. It was the only game that got my attention at the time and everyone was huddled around it to play against the winner. I remember thinking it was amazing to have tag team and all of the different X-Men and Street Fighter characters. Well done Capcom.

      +gedaman yep it was really popular only wish there were more street fighter and xmen characters respectively.

    • @christopherburse1167
      @christopherburse1167 9 років тому +2

      +gedaman Same here. I remember when I first saw the game people were huddle around it. And I was like at awe!!!! I think this game was the turning point for me. I started to look into more street fighter games to get to know the characters more.

    This should have been empathized in the review that back in 1997 this blew everything else away. Arcade perfect port that had almost no load times. I paid $75.00 back in 1997 for the game and ram cart. It was worth it. You saw this at the arcades and you could have nearly the same experience at home.

    I own this for my sega saturn.I haven't played it in years but I remember when I had to do a cart swap to get the game to load. I couldn't afford the ram+region code breaker combo cart. I got it down to a science after a while lol. Now that I look back I was crazy for swapping while the system was on but the game was worth it. Amazing sound and visuals, perfect speed and sweet controls. Perhaps one of the BEST Sega Saturn games.

    Im honored to own this great for the underrated NA Saturn. Near arcade perfection. The Saturn was a 2D powerhouse of a console. Remember inviting all my friends over to play this game and they all went out to buy Saturn's which game stores were already trying to clear them out. Remember buying my for 40 bucks and it was the best 40 bucks I spent those days.

    After Apocalypse does the Saturn game force you to fight your second character? I've played the arcade version as Rogue and Gambit and in the end the coupling I choose fought each other.

  • @worsel555
    @worsel555 12 років тому

    I imported this game as soon as I could back in the day and im surprised you didn't mention another reason why the Saturn version kicks so much ass: Almost no loading times. When you first start the game there is loading for about 5-8 seconds and after that it runs just as fast as the arcade with no load times.

  • @theabberration
    @theabberration 12 років тому +2

    If Sega had of released this game and RAM cart in U.S. back in the day, they may have gotten the edge on Playstation.

  • @Tornado1994
    @Tornado1994 14 років тому

    @MagFlare Model 2 hardware's was perfectly capable of polygon shading,transparency and light sourcing. Like I said, the American model was only designed to use a single 3D instead of both processors and most US programmers could only code 1 processor. That's another myth that Saturn 3D games took up processing power, remember the Saturn had a seperate third processor for addition RAM, which made full use of the 1-4 RAM carts required to run arcade perfect titles.

  • @Old_Man_Jay
    @Old_Man_Jay 13 років тому +1

    @KaraLVRogueLZ I always thought it was awesome how they got the voice actor from the 90's tv series to play the voices of rogue, wolverine, and if I'm not mistaken storm and cyclops. (those two im not sure of, but they sure sound similar)

  • @MrCartface
    @MrCartface 13 років тому

    This is important: If you own a Saturn in PAL format, you still run the risk (even with an action reply cart) that the sound will not play properly on this game and several others that are Japanese exclusives which have their own RAM carts. This is due to the PAL format running at 50hz and NTSC running at 60hz.

  • @BurningRangers
    @BurningRangers 14 років тому

    It was for games like this as to why I always had a preference for the Saturn over the PSX. The 4MB games really flex the Saturn's 2D muscle. The PSX version is certainly playable, but the longer load times, fewer frames of animation, and especially no tag outs really hurt that version imo. The 4MB RAM expansion for the Saturn allows this version to be much closer to the arcade version and much superior to the PSX version. Same for MSH vs SF, SF Zero 3, and Vampire Savior on the Saturn too.

  • @lightdark28
    @lightdark28 14 років тому

    apparently Capcom and Sega were in talks about releasing this game in the west, but disagreed over the pricing of the game ,due to the RAM cartridge being included.
    needless to say the talks didn't work out.
    still , this, Marvel vs Street Fighter and Street Fighter Zero 3 are my favourite 2D fighting games on the Saturn

  • @Old_Man_Jay
    @Old_Man_Jay 13 років тому

    @stevepauldaws28 While it is true the PlayStation destroyed the Saturn in the west, that definitely did not mean 2D fighters were remotely out of of fashion at the time nor is it today. At least not in the states. I specifically remember going to arcades and waiting in line just to play this game and other 2D fighters while the 3D fighters had relatively short lines.

  • @Dimpsuu

  • @KingGameReview

    my favorite fighting game on the Saturn is probably Power Instinct 3: Groove on Fight... either that or Waku Waku 7.

  • @TheLastLineLive
    @TheLastLineLive 14 років тому

    wow, its like night and day looking at this vs the playstation one, the visuals are just much better on this, and the animation is actually smooth, the Playstation one actually has Animation that appears to be as choppy if not more than the old Street Fighter 2 on SNES.

  • @TheDistantman
    @TheDistantman 14 років тому

    even though the Saturn wasn't that like in the U.S, between it and the Play Station, the Saturn was superior when it came to fighting games because it had less load time, better frame work and when it came to gameplay; if you bought this game for the PS1, you were cheated out of your money since the tag team system was taken out of it and replaced with the traditional 1 on 1. great review Mark.
    I have a feeling the next 2 games are marvel superheroes and marvel superheroes vs streetfighter

  • @andy7666
    @andy7666 11 років тому

    The Saturn does a Sagat laugh at the Playstation when it comes to 2D games (except for Dodonpachi, but lets ignore that); it definitely had the edge, its a wonderful system to own.

    The level with the police in the background was the first level I saw back in the day in the arcades...I stared at it like a slack jawed yokel. I had both the PSX and Saturn when this game was in the arcades and I remember thinking like my Saturn and PSX...day one. Unfortunately, I bought th8s for the PSX...rookie.

  • @RedRanger2001

  • @SegaFanatic5188
    @SegaFanatic5188 14 років тому

    @Travisarespicy I personally own this game for the Saturn. There is no slowdown whatsoever that I have noticed. Though I use the official RAM cart and not the Action Replay cart so that might be causing this stutter you seem to see.

  • @neobogard
    @neobogard 14 років тому

    @treebomb the saturn version is almost arcade perfect with the arcade speed,animation,gameplay and controles.saturn has the best controler for 2d beat em ups.
    the ps1 version was extremly slow,lacked so much animation,the combo system was so messed up,and most of all,you couldn't swap charictors around in mid gameplay.

  • @elbryan42
    @elbryan42 14 років тому

    Truly one of the best fighting games ever made. Marvel vs Street Fighter on the Saturn is also great, and has an exclusive Japanese character that wasn't in the arcade in North America.
    I really wish that Sega brought that 4mb memory expansion out in North America. That was a terrible move on Sega's part.

    Cammys ma girl, she plays well in this game, I forked over the money for the card after you first mentioned it and this was the first I got for it...to say it's worth it is definitely an understatement.
    Best consoles for the 2D ports of street fighter was easily the Saturn and Dreamcast, not to mention the older.

  • @Tornado1994
    @Tornado1994 14 років тому

    @sage11x The Saturn is based off of System 32 Model 2 arcade hardware. Model 2 is configered to run 2 32 bit processors, both are capable of 3D graphics. The problem being is that the Japanese hardware is more balanced and designed to use both processors combining thier power. When fully utilized, Saturn can produce 64 bit like graphics ala TG16. The American model own runs seperate processors, meaning its way too difficult to code them together and only one could be coded properly.

  • @kennyd5697
    @kennyd5697 11 років тому

    I got this game fairly cheap... I think around $12? The case isn't in the vest shape but the CD was flawless. One of my favorite games of all time, and one of the only reasons I bust out the Saturn to this day.

    @stevepauldaws28 13 років тому

    At the time this game came out, 2d fighters were somewhat out of fashion with tekken and virtua fighter being the new direction beat em ups were heading. The Playstation at the time wiped the floor with the Saturn (in Europe at least)in sales and the absolutley brilliant 2d fighter capabilities of the saturn were overlooked. Nowadays people are more appreciative of the saturn which is cool. Additionally Ive just "closed my eyes and thought happy thoughts" and ordered this from Japan, woo hoo!!

  • @socillizt4life

  • @retrothomas

  • @MagFlare
    @MagFlare 14 років тому

    @Tornado1994 It wasn't just difficulty in harnessing the system's power that held Saturn's 3D games back. The system lacked the PS1's hardware for gouraud shading, transparency, light sourcing, etc. Developers could still fake these effects with clever programming, but that sort of workaround ate up processor power that could've been used elsewhere.
    I'm not bagging on Sega here, but the Saturn wasn't a 3D machine. It was, however, the apotheosis of 2D hardware.

  • @Montesama314
    @Montesama314 12 років тому

    The comments below me claim that the Sega Saturn version was a lot better than thr PS1 port. I guess I missed out, but I still remember X-Men vs. Street Fighter being a load of fun when I was younger. I think I'll look it up if PSN ever wises up and sells it arcade-style.

    @tapion567 Plenty. The PSone version was released 6 months late in the US exclusively on PSone since the Saturn was already dead in America by April of 1998. Needless to say, gamers who read reviews of the import Saturn version were insulted by the PSone, the system's lack of RAM slowed down animation frames, made the game sloppy,sluggish, made poor loading times and REMOVED THE TAG TEAM MODE! On the Saturn, its 100% arcade perfect. smooth animation, oragasm of sprites, tag team mode etc.
