I bought a used 3do like 5 years ago at a auction in boise Idaho. They didn’t know what it was. Some thought it was a VCR or DVD player. Best 20 bucks I’ve spent.
Destroyed a new Goldstar 3DO pad and 6 button Genesis pad for that game - took it apart to use PCB to make a proper 6 button pad by cutting 3DO pad PCB and connecting lines to Genesis pad PCB. Worked perfectly and i still have it.
I have the game and i even still have the retail box that the game came in. I thought that the controller was not as tight as the arcade or even the 16 bit versions of it. But it was back then the best version of the arcade street fighter. 3D0 only had a handful of fighters and i was lucky enough to buy the best two, because I also have Samurai Showdown 3D0.
This was ones of the games I rented with a 3DO back in days. While most aspects of it were very impressive, I found the lack of parallax scrolling to be inexplicable and inexcusable. I mean, here's a $700 console in 1994 and it can't do something that's a staple of 16-bit gaming and my Genesis (and SNES) can do with ease!
Correct. Also inexcusable is the low quality sound effects for a system with plenty of storage space. Higher versions even fit in the snes spc700 64kb memory (if you exclude the music).
Unfortunately, no. I owned the Neo Geo back then, and immediately saw the flaws. I was so heartbroken because Trip Hawkins hyped this system up so much. I was expecting perfection but it just didn't hold up.
@@RedLP5000S Also of note, if you had the U.S. Aes, your copy of Samurai Shodown was censored, meanwhile the 3DO Port had all the blood and everything uncensored. Love that.
ya best voice was orig sf2, ce n hyper nice n deep and professional then it was changed in new challengers to sound like some high pitched console version
The 3DO love on this channel warms my heart.. I personally never owned or even played a 3DO.. but its just awesome to know that its still being loved 🥰
It was a really cool system at the time. Got mine as a Christmas present when they still sold at the original MSRP and have that original system still working underneath my TV today. :) Star Control II (my late stepfather’s favorite game of all time), Need For Speed and several other games offered things in the 3DO versions that weren’t available on other platforms. I got so much mileage out of it that I didn’t move to a newer system until Christmas 1997 (PS1). Lots of great gaming memories from those years.
Never had a chance to play the 3DO version but that soundtrack is amazing. I'm glad Capcom gave that soundtrack as an option when they released the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection with Hyper Street Fighter II.
Yes, Hyper SF2 was the first time I heard the 3do soundtrack. Didn’t even realise it was from that game until recently as I vaguely remember it being simply called the ‘arrange’ soundtrack, or something similar.
Brings back memories. I had this on the Sega Genesis as a kid but one day my Uncle bought himself a 3DO with this game and my fragile little mind was blown away by the differences in graphics.
The 3DO was priced so obscenely it was a complete joke to me. Between it's insane price, and Nintendo and Sega being the only "real" game companies around, I knew it was going to fail. I bought a Genesis when Super Street Fighter II came out for it, JUST to play that single game. Is it the best SFII game? Of course not. But for the price I was very happy with it(and that game wasn't cheap either, since it was on a double-sized cartridge).
@@SirReptitiousOk, but I really don't understand why you bought a Mega Drive (or "Genesis" as you call it) instead of a Super Nintendo?! Graphics and sound were soooo much better on this....
I do miss the days of playing games in the arcade that just weren't realistically possible on home consoles without noticeable concessions (unless you/your parents were loaded and could afford a Neo-Geo and games/X68000 computer etc.) - wandering arcades as a kid and seeing all the huge, colorful sprites flying around with minimal slowdown. I wish arcades (or maybe VR arcades) made a comeback with insane system boards with 3/4 GTX 3090's, maxed out i9's, 64+GB of RAM etc. producing games that wouldn't be possible at home.
3:52 T. Hakws stage wasn’t a “mexican village”, was part in a big city called Guadalajara. The building of the background is “Hospicio Cabañas”, a world heritage site.
I had this on the 3DO and it was sublime. I couldn't believe the soundtrack and audio quality when I first loaded it. Near arcade perfect, and the disc stayed in the 3DO almost the whole time.
My biggest regret with this version of the game was not having a proper 6 button controller to play it with. SSF2T along with Return Fire were also my first games for the system when I went to trade a lot of snes, GB and genesis games I didn't want for for the 3DO.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo the U.S. version in the arcade has a known reputation of relentless very hard difficulty which kept taking people's quarters out of their pockets.
Am I the only person that prefers, over all other versions, the music in the original / Turbo version of Street Fighter II on SNES? That wavetable sound chip was really something else at the time.
Interesting to see people talking about the price. I think a lot of people forget that the video game systems from Nintendo and Sega (and later Sony) had manufacturing controlled by the company and were sold at a loss with that offset by higher royalties on the games. By contrast, 3DO itself didn’t manufacture the hardware, rather that was licensed to manufacturers to make various models (Panasonic, Goldstar, Creative Labs, etc.) and were originally not intended to sell at that sort of a loss - and the licensing fees were much lower, In other words, it’s not that the 3DO was price-gouging, it’s that market price expectations were artificially low due to years of being accustomed to systems selling at a big loss and the unsustainably of that in a model with lower royalties.
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 but on the ps1 you could choose the original CPS1 music. that's why that's my favorite port, I really don't like this version of the music. it sounds plastic, wimpy, flat, too "thin", it lacks the punch of the original. (and I dislike super and super turbo in general, I prefer WW or CE)
@@pelgervampireduck i love the ps1 version too. Like you said you can pick the music you want. Also i know the load times suck but you can use the shortcut option to make it pretty smooth.
Back in the 90s our mall had this awesome business where you could go and pay hourly rates to play games on the newest consoles(the consoles I couldn’t afford). I was lucky enough to get on the 3D0 with this game when it dropped and as a Street Fighter fan was completely blown away by this port. My favorite SF to this day. Great video brother love the content!
Tyler man, the days when companies could release future tech that was not mainstream. Nowadays the only way to release a game is on the three big consoles.
@@alanlee67 sad but true. I consider myself fortunate to experience the golden age of gaming. I share these games and experiences with my kids in hope that the memories stay alive 😎
I got to play this in a place called Warp Zone in the 90s where you could rent games or pay a price and play anything you wanted/have birthday party rentals. It was incredible.
I remember renting a Genesis with my dad one weekend cuz my mom didn't let us have video games in the house, lol.....back when parents could do that! So funny to think about...
I remember as a kid going for chippy and seeing SF playing on the arcades. The characters looked so huge and real. I couldn't understand why something looked different about the Snes. I thought it was just my imagination.
I had a similar experience with MK3 as a kid. It was the first time i really took notice at the fact that home consoles were not equal to what we had in the arcade. Might’ve been MK2, but I’m not 100%
@@Bubba__Sawyer any fish and chip shops we called them chippy. Nearly every fish and chips / kebab shops had an arcade cabinet. You had a few games while waiting for the food. Good old days.
@@GreatHealer. I remember my local chippy having at different periods in time, Street Fighter 1, Splatterhouse, Enduro Racer, Street Fighter 2, It also had a pool table and fruit machine.
We went to our rich classmates house to play this on his brand new 3DO and we blown away by this sf. While the rest of us were on snes and genesis, for a few hours we were next gen!
Wanted a 3DO as a kid. When it came out it was $700 and it seemed like myth to many kids on the playground arouns 93-94. I did play the store demo’s whenever I had a chance. They were always in small chain appliance stores as we did not have best buy’s around then in CT. It was good memories for sure. Never did own one. In 95 for christmas we got a Saturn and were in love with it!
I was sooo hyped about the 3DO bitd. I actually sold my Neo Geo and games to pay for the outrageous $700 price tag. While I tried, tried so hard to justify the pitfalls of the 3DO's ports, I eventually conceded that it was the worst decision that I ever made in my gaming life. It took me years to reacquire all of my Neo Geo stuff. Even so, I do have good memories of the FZ-1, and bought another one decades later on greedbay.
I remember seeing this back in the day, but a 3DO was *way* out of our price range. Still as impressive as it was back then. You weren't getting any closer to arcade SSFII Turbo in the home.
At the time of release this machine was amazing. Road rash and NFS were crazy looking and as you said this version of SF2 was pretty much arcade perfect and far beyond the 16 bit versions. As a machine to own between the 16 bit era until Ridge racer arrived on the PS1 at launch it was very enjoyable with some great games. I sure enjoyed using mine back then. Every machine gets superceded by something better, luckily i was around to experience each new gen of gaming in person.
I remember buying a 3do for 100$ at funcoland/gamestop just for this game and had no regrets not only did 3do had a lot underrated games this game imo is still the best port the music imo is better than the arcade it has the full intro with the scary Q piano sound screen and it was a lot more balanced and fair in comparison to the overly cheap a.i. of the arcade that STILL plagues all new ports to this game including the switch and ps4 ports in sf collection.
Love to see the Return Fire love: that was where I first learned the names Verdi and Holst because of the score. Came in handy in my music history classes in college later on. :) Star Control II and Need For Speed were some of my other favorites as a kid.
I love your insight into the more obscure video game consoles. Growing up I was always under the impression the 3DO was not good or had no redeeming qualities. It's nice to get a different perspective
Back then, every console had good and unique titles. Even the Jaguar had Tempest 2000 and AVP. The Virtual Boy was a very unique experience across the board. The CD-I had Pebble Beach Golf. Personally, the 3DO was my system of choice for a few years, until Saturn and PS1 came out in US.
@@Not-Great-at-Gaming The biggest problem with the 3DO is you really have to look at it historically. You have to see where it fits in that little niche between the 16-bit era and the early 32-bit era. The problem was after the Saturn and definitely after the PlayStation were launched it faded so fast into obscurity it wasn't even funny. I owned one after I owned a PlayStation and going back was incredibly painful. It's remarkable how archaic it felt just a few years after the PlayStation launched. I'm pretty sure I still have it sitting in my garage somewhere yet it might have been one of the few consoles I actually gave away because of the time I just couldn't find any games for it and just didn't care.
@@Not-Great-at-Gaming The systems all had potential. The 3DO akin to a laserdisc for video enthusiasts compared to VHS or S-VHS at the time; Laserdisc was more expensive but the sound and video quality was much better.
@@lazarushernandez5827 The 3DO and Neo-Geo were no doubt good systems, the killing blow for both, was the insanely huge price tags they cost at the time. Probably the same reason that in the UK, 9 out of 10 kids would have had a ZX Spectrum rather than a Commodore 64, I don't think doubted that the C64 had the superior hardware, but when you could get a Spectrum for a fraction of the cost, and still have fun with mostly the same games, that's what's going to happen. Plus since parents were the ones paying for it, they're more likely to get something cheaper for their kid. It did have the advantage of because most people had the same system, swapping/borrowing/copying tapes gave you more choice of games to play.
Played it about 6 years ago at a friend's house. Definitely the best port at the time, bar none. They used to make a SNES controller adapter for the 3DO, but they're hard to find and expensive.
Great video! This is the first fighting game I played on Genesis! I remember my cousins and I gathering around the TV to play. 'LOSE hand it up' was a staple of the game but man was it fun! Thanks for the video SLX!
This version anasized not is the 3DO version, in this version the ground is 3D, in 3DO the ground not move, all the ground is an photoghaph, for me the best is the Dreamcast version, on Dreamcast the ground is in 3D.
@@johnjaleco5683 Yes, the 3DO had enough buttons on the pad to use, but the face buttons weren't laid out very well for a fighting game, it had 3 main buttons, ABC, L+R shoulder buttons, and a Play/Pause(AKA P) and Stop(AKA X) button, which is where select and start would be these days. Still better than a standard Megadrive controller for fighting games though.
Same boat here - loved Star Control II. Difference was my dad got the 3DO when it first released so seeing it go from $699 to $400 months later might have been a gut punch for him... if I hadn’t been playing the 3DO as much as I possibly could during the time in-between and talking his ear off about how much I enjoyed playing it. :) I think he felt like it was worth it.
@@perlichtman1562 it was worth it, it was 1 to 2 yrs advance for its time and the 1st true 32 bit home console that was cd rom based. I think it will turn out to be like neo geo with cult following if it hasnt yet. Maybe collectible too
The og fz1 3DO is one of the best looking consoles of all time. Aesthetically seeing it running this game on import and being about a grand is nostalgia. The blinking led access lights, like model one mega cd, just by themselves are nostalgic and for the time seemed so cool. Imagining having this new super console that could and indeed was running arcade perfect ports. The future was here and, it was 700 dollars 😛 road rash...gex...I loved it. Wolfenstein on it was port of the mac version and included all the extra maps. Return fire on it was/is also absolutely sublime. A cool and quirky machine.
@@plowking813 I just double checked, the moon doesn't move. I have been aware of this version since it was new, saw it at a trade show and never realised.
@@plowking813 wasn't the moon completely missing from the SNES ports of SF2:WW and SF2:Turbo? I don't think it showed up until SSF2 on Nintendo's 16-bit console for some odd reason.
When I first played this version a decade ago it struck me as arcade perfect and it still impresses me even if it isn't. It makes the Snes and especially Megadrive ports of SSF2 look passable at best.
I was 18 years old working at Electronic Boutique in 93 and when the 3DO came out I thought it was the most futuristic console ever and was blown away by it even though I hadn't seen a single game in action. It was mega expensive at the time and just a hand full of people purchased it. One of them was a regular named John. He was a big time gamer. He was so excited and I was lucky enough to have sold it to him. I did eventually get a 3DO and I will say I had some fun with it.
SSF2Turbo had the best music of the whole series. I would play this religiously at the local arcade which had a large-screen sit-down version with surround speakers. Man it was awesome.
I played this during lunch at Electronics Boutique at the Embarcadero in San Francisco a few times a week back then. Work was close by though getting Akuma on the first try was a challenge.
I love the casual mention that Sega Lord X has specifically ripped the 3DO SSF2 Turbo tracks for his car's MP3 player, lol. Rolling up to family gathering's blasting the 3DO Guile theme like a boss.
Where I used to live there was a computer shop who used to rent out games and consoles but what was very special about this shop is the consoles were imports so I got to play a lot of import games before most kids my age. I got to play on consoles like the Saturn, N64, 3DO and Neo Geo CD before most kids. This game was one of them and to this day is still one of my favourite Street Fighter ganes
So much truth here-back in its day, this game was the best way to play the game outside of the arcade, period. I make no bones about admitting how much of an SNES fanboy I was back then, but when I first saw and heard this game in person, I was floored. Great work as usual, thank you!
Great point about pointing out the differences. Back then, we didn't have the tools to assess how different each port was from the arcade. We were more appreciative of what we had and felt we got our money's worth.
At the time this was the most sort after game for me in the UK in1994 Sadly to expensive for me. Super moves, Turbo costumes, Akuma. Arcade perfect looking in magazines. what a port this truly was. And that redbook audio makes it great even to this day.
The other technical wonder, in terms of Street Fighter II, is the PC Engine version: especially when you consider that the game ran on an 8-bit card. The downside? It was only released on Japan, so the text is in Japanese.
Pcengine may had an 8bit cpu,but it also had DUAL 16bit gpu. That made a huge difference,for pure 8bit wonder check the Master System version which was released in Brasil.
You certainly weren't wrong at least in your eyes. As long as the core gameplay remained largely intact back then you weren't obsessed with how well the game looked visually or even performed as long as it was a solid representation in its own right
Final fight soundtrack on the mega CD vs super street fighter 2 soundtrack on the 3DO round 1 fight !! .. but wait !! here comes terminator mega CD running to the ring
IT was a piece of shit dude. The controller was terrible and the game selection was bad too. I didn't ask for it I don't know why my parents bought it for me, I'm certain the guy at he video game store (were no chains back then) suckered them into buying it to move his stock.
That was an unnecessarily harsh way of putting it. It's like Sega Lord X puts it - the 3DO was the best of the failed consoles. Funnily enough my parents talked me out of getting one (along with the Atari Jaguar, thank f... Haha) they said, "you know you're going to want that new Sega when it comes out and you can't have both". Really liking this channel lately, it's become my first choice for video game nostalgia.
Aside from Lucienne's Quest, this is the biggest 3DO game I've wanted to play. I know arcade-perfect versions have been available for almost a decade and a half, but there's just something special about these old console versions
Nice video! Congrats! I had never noticed the lack of parallax scrolling. Also, -- having not seen a 3DO in ages now -- I didn't remember the music was that good .
I wanted a 3do for this game. Luckily , they released it on pc with a white genesis controller. The PC version was excellent and you could even put the game into your cd player and listen to the ost!
Yeah my "friend" had an expensive PC(at the time) and a freaking 3DO in 94... and this one made me jealous lol. Hope all is good with you and yours SLX!👊💥🇺🇲
My Dad spent almost $500 to buy me a 3DO and I took it to Jamaica one summer and my friends were in disbelief of how good this game was. I had this game, Samurai Showdown and Total Eclipse. I wish the system had more longevity because I got the feeling my dad felt like he wasted his money after I got bored with it in less than 2 years.
Definitely noticeable and probably jarring to a modern listener - but I can tell you that at the time, playing it as a pre-teen, the sliver of silence felt like everything fell away and the adrenaline surged as I braced myself for “the real battle” to begin. Sort of like the way that many action movies of earlier eras would drop out all sound to emphasize a dramatic line or moment before bringing the music back in more powerful than before.
Another definitive port on the 3DO is Star Wars: Rebel Assault. The FMV assets look so damned clean compared to even the PC original, and it controls so damned good! The cursor doesn't auto re-center like in so many other versions of the game. This is crucial in the flight levels, as you can actually properly dodge things!
I think the music from the MsDos version was the best. It was my first PC game and I still have it. I remember put the CD on my disk man, skip the first track and be able to listen to the soundtrack. I dont remember how was the details of the graphics/effects fidelity to arcade tho
The graphics were pretty much the same as the arcade version apart from some missing background animation and a zoomed in perspective due to the lower resolution.
You upload this.... I want to cry, because I had a 3do back in the 90's , lost the unit because me and family never stayed in one place. and I also had SF2 Turbo. First time discover akuma by my self
You know that moment when you think , man I’m old , when your kids point to your Atari 2600 and ask you what is it and you tell them and you then explain to them that you remember going to a store to buy it new :( lol.
A lot of people forget that it was literally the only way to play Super Turbo at home until the collection came out at the end of Nov '97 for Saturn and PS1. I was lucky enough to have a friend with a 3DO and this game when it was new, and while the default controllers were pretty garbo he had adapters that let us use our SNES gamepads. It was our main Street Fighter game to play at home for over a year, and it wasn't until Street Fighter Alpha launched for the home consoles that we moved on from it.
I largely agree. :) The one (technical) exception is the DOS version in 1995 - but my Pentium cost more than the 3DO at the time, so the 3DO version was honestly the more affordable option.
this and the dos version were legendary, mainly for the soundtrack, good stuff really . p.s: any time SLX sneaks in some RYGAR footage or music, it shows what a huge fan of good games he really is. p.p.s: guile's music is still the best and this version is awesome, but i have to admit, they ken's stage music's new remix kinda sucks next to the otiginal.
I got the Panasonic 3D0 console I no longer play on it if you like street fighter games you should go on Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox one PS2 PS3 PS4 arcade 1 up the only street fighter I’m interested in playing is street fighter 6 that capcom hasn’t released yet
Used to play this all the time in local game shop, sadly now gone. Was very tempted to buy a 3DO but it was not cheap! Ended up going halves with my brother on PlayStation when it came out.
@Sega Lord X Great video as usual! I just wanted to make one small distinction since as a game music composer/arranger myself I want to make sure the new music got full credit. :) Most of the soundtrack comes from the FM Towns version but there are a few tracks that are different between the two. Going from memory, the FM Towns version had a different intro song (the SSFII one) and no Akuma theme, so both of those arrangements first appeared on the 3DO. I’m not sure if there were any other differences but I love that intro music as much as you do, so I wanted to highlight that the arrangement appeared on 3DO first. :)
I’ve only seen the FM Towns port via a few videos that I’ve watched, but I remember noticing that the music didn’t continue playing between rounds and that it was missing the KO versions of the music (aka the “heavy damage” themes). Then again I’m not sure if the game was being played on real hardware
I bought my 3do in 95 and it had so many amazing games .My favorites Wing Commander 3 , Star control 2 and Myst and ofc the best version of street fighter
This is actually the first time I see the legendary 3DO Super Turbo Running. With today's eyes is not nearly as Arcade perfect as I thought it was, the animation actually looks a lot more like the 16-bit versions. But it is today's eyes, back in the day I saw the 16-bit versions as Arcade perfect so...
I liked street fighter 2 when I was a kid but when I first got to play ssf2t on the 3do I became obsessed with it. The soundtrack was absolutely the killer. Too bad about the p button placement. I never found an adapter that allowed me to play arcade sticks on it. I missed out with the snes adapter. They do have the soundtrack on the 15 anniversary sf collection on ps2 and ogxbox.
I bought a used 3do like 5 years ago at a auction in boise Idaho. They didn’t know what it was. Some thought it was a VCR or DVD player. Best 20 bucks I’ve spent.

I had this on the 3DO and it was sublime. I couldn't believe the soundtrack and audio quality when I first loaded it. Near arcade perfect, and the disc stayed in the 3DO almost the whole time.
I had an SNES to 3DO controller adapter I bought specifically for this game.
My biggest regret with this version of the game was not having a proper 6 button controller to play it with. SSF2T along with Return Fire were also my first games for the system when I went to trade a lot of snes, GB and genesis games I didn't want for for the 3DO.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo the U.S. version in the arcade has a known reputation of relentless very hard difficulty which kept taking people's quarters out of their pockets.
yes even on mame its near impossible as single player
not hard its very easy it has the same big flaws all the SF games have you can win by just grabbing they couldnt fix this flaw
Almost like Arcade games were designed to be difficult, to you know, make the owners money or something ;-)
Am I the only person that prefers, over all other versions, the music in the original / Turbo version of Street Fighter II on SNES? That wavetable sound chip was really something else at the time.
My mate had the 3do and it was awesome. Streetfighter turbo was incredible at the time, we played it for hours.
Interesting to see people talking about the price. I think a lot of people forget that the video game systems from Nintendo and Sega (and later Sony) had manufacturing controlled by the company and were sold at a loss with that offset by higher royalties on the games. By contrast, 3DO itself didn’t manufacture the hardware, rather that was licensed to manufacturers to make various models (Panasonic, Goldstar, Creative Labs, etc.) and were originally not intended to sell at that sort of a loss - and the licensing fees were much lower,
In other words, it’s not that the 3DO was price-gouging, it’s that market price expectations were artificially low due to years of being accustomed to systems selling at a big loss and the unsustainably of that in a model with lower royalties.
I bought a 3DO for this game, Samurai Showdown, and Road Rash!
Not gonna lie that remixed soundtrack is pure fire. It's so good
Hyper Street Fighter 2 totally makes this redundant as it has that soundtrack and it sounds even better there.
@@Darknight0681 it's the same soundtrack. In fact I believe that soundtrack was also use on Street Fighter collection 2 on the PS1 back in the day
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 but on the ps1 you could choose the original CPS1 music. that's why that's my favorite port, I really don't like this version of the music. it sounds plastic, wimpy, flat, too "thin", it lacks the punch of the original. (and I dislike super and super turbo in general, I prefer WW or CE)
@@pelgervampireduck i love the ps1 version too. Like you said you can pick the music you want. Also i know the load times suck but you can use the shortcut option to make it pretty smooth.
Back in the 90s our mall had this awesome business where you could go and pay hourly rates to play games on the newest consoles(the consoles I couldn’t afford). I was lucky enough to get on the 3D0 with this game when it dropped and as a Street Fighter fan was completely blown away by this port. My favorite SF to this day. Great video brother love the content!
Tyler man, the days when companies could release future tech that was not mainstream. Nowadays the only way to release a game is on the three big consoles.
@@alanlee67 sad but true. I consider myself fortunate to experience the golden age of gaming. I share these games and experiences with my kids in hope that the memories stay alive 😎
I got to play this in a place called Warp Zone in the 90s where you could rent games or pay a price and play anything you wanted/have birthday party rentals. It was incredible.
I remember renting a Genesis with my dad one weekend cuz my mom didn't let us have video games in the house, lol.....back when parents could do that! So funny to think about...
@@dignan193 I guess ur mom wears the trousers. And ur dad wears a g string
This was the only game that made me wish I had a 3DO as a kid.
Same.
No doubt
I still got my street fighter 3d0 game still sealed lol
The PC port by Gametek was very close to the arcade as well.
dido for me too
A staple of 3DO games is that they always have exclusive remixed version of music or original music compared to ports on other systems.
I remember as a kid going for chippy and seeing SF playing on the arcades. The characters looked so huge and real. I couldn't understand why something looked different about the Snes. I thought it was just my imagination.
I had a similar experience with MK3 as a kid. It was the first time i really took notice at the fact that home consoles were not equal to what we had in the arcade. Might’ve been MK2, but I’m not 100%
@@Bubba__Sawyer any fish and chip shops we called them chippy. Nearly every fish and chips / kebab shops had an arcade cabinet. You had a few games while waiting for the food. Good old days.
@@adamsilver4568 so true tho. chip shop (chippy) for tea 😄 in the queue, arcade game like street fighter in the corner. Amazing.
@@GreatHealer. I remember my local chippy having at different periods in time, Street Fighter 1, Splatterhouse, Enduro Racer, Street Fighter 2, It also had a pool table and fruit machine.
Ah yes, good old 90’s UK. Back when everyone wasn’t such a dickhead.
The gaming magazines back in the 90s had proclaimed that SSF2T 3DO was arcade perfect
We went to our rich classmates house to play this on his brand new 3DO and we blown away by this sf. While the rest of us were on snes and genesis, for a few hours we were next gen!
Wanted a 3DO as a kid. When it came out it was $700 and it seemed like myth to many kids on the playground arouns 93-94. I did play the store demo’s whenever I had a chance. They were always in small chain appliance stores as we did not have best buy’s around then in CT. It was good memories for sure. Never did own one. In 95 for christmas we got a Saturn and were in love with it!
The soundtrack is spectacular
I was sooo hyped about the 3DO bitd. I actually sold my Neo Geo and games to pay for the outrageous $700 price tag. While I tried, tried so hard to justify the pitfalls of the 3DO's ports, I eventually conceded that it was the worst decision that I ever made in my gaming life. It took me years to reacquire all of my Neo Geo stuff. Even so, I do have good memories of the FZ-1, and bought another one decades later on greedbay.
I remember seeing this back in the day, but a 3DO was *way* out of our price range. Still as impressive as it was back then. You weren't getting any closer to arcade SSFII Turbo in the home.
The DOS port was a pretty close match if you ask me.
At the time of release this machine was amazing. Road rash and NFS were crazy looking and as you said this version of SF2 was pretty much arcade perfect and far beyond the 16 bit versions. As a machine to own between the 16 bit era until Ridge racer arrived on the PS1 at launch it was very enjoyable with some great games. I sure enjoyed using mine back then. Every machine gets superceded by something better, luckily i was around to experience each new gen of gaming in person.
I remember buying a 3do for 100$ at funcoland/gamestop just for this game and had no regrets not only did 3do had a lot underrated games this game imo is still the best port the music imo is better than the arcade it has the full intro with the scary Q piano sound screen and it was a lot more balanced and fair in comparison to the overly cheap a.i. of the arcade that STILL plagues all new ports to this game including the switch and ps4 ports in sf collection.
For the cpu a.i. I suggest ssf2, it's much better and not a fraud
I remember buying this at release for my 3do, this and samauri showdown (along with Return fire) were a good reason to own a 3do at the time
madden and road rash was also fun, if 3do was cheaper to buy and had more sports games it would have done so much better
Love to see the Return Fire love: that was where I first learned the names Verdi and Holst because of the score. Came in handy in my music history classes in college later on. :)
Star Control II and Need For Speed were some of my other favorites as a kid.
I love your insight into the more obscure video game consoles. Growing up I was always under the impression the 3DO was not good or had no redeeming qualities. It's nice to get a different perspective
Back then, every console had good and unique titles. Even the Jaguar had Tempest 2000 and AVP. The Virtual Boy was a very unique experience across the board. The CD-I had Pebble Beach Golf. Personally, the 3DO was my system of choice for a few years, until Saturn and PS1 came out in US.
@@Not-Great-at-Gaming
The biggest problem with the 3DO is you really have to look at it historically. You have to see where it fits in that little niche between the
16-bit era and the early 32-bit era.
The problem was after the Saturn and definitely after the PlayStation were launched it faded so fast into obscurity it wasn't even funny.
I owned one after I owned a PlayStation and going back was incredibly painful. It's remarkable how archaic it felt just a few years after the PlayStation launched.
I'm pretty sure I still have it sitting in my garage somewhere yet it might have been one of the few consoles I actually gave away because of the time I just couldn't find any games for it and just didn't care.
@@Not-Great-at-Gaming The systems all had potential. The 3DO akin to a laserdisc for video enthusiasts compared to VHS or S-VHS at the time; Laserdisc was more expensive but the sound and video quality was much better.
@@lazarushernandez5827 The 3DO and Neo-Geo were no doubt good systems, the killing blow for both, was the insanely huge price tags they cost at the time. Probably the same reason that in the UK, 9 out of 10 kids would have had a ZX Spectrum rather than a Commodore 64, I don't think doubted that the C64 had the superior hardware, but when you could get a Spectrum for a fraction of the cost, and still have fun with mostly the same games, that's what's going to happen. Plus since parents were the ones paying for it, they're more likely to get something cheaper for their kid. It did have the advantage of because most people had the same system, swapping/borrowing/copying tapes gave you more choice of games to play.
Played it about 6 years ago at a friend's house. Definitely the best port at the time, bar none. They used to make a SNES controller adapter for the 3DO, but they're hard to find and expensive.
Nothing better than finishing up a day of construction work and seeing that there's a new SLX to come home to..
Great video! This is the first fighting game I played on Genesis! I remember my cousins and I gathering around the TV to play. 'LOSE hand it up' was a staple of the game but man was it fun! Thanks for the video SLX!
Best version on console by far, the 3DO is so underrated.
Dreamcast.
This version anasized not is the 3DO version, in this version the ground is 3D, in 3DO the ground not move, all the ground is an photoghaph, for me the best is the Dreamcast version, on Dreamcast the ground is in 3D.
Did the 3do have enough buttons on the pad and was the pad good to use ?
@@Charrles.anderson Well to be fair, he did say it was the best version available AT THE TIME, I mean the Dreamcast came out way later.
@@johnjaleco5683 Yes, the 3DO had enough buttons on the pad to use, but the face buttons weren't laid out very well for a fighting game, it had 3 main buttons, ABC, L+R shoulder buttons, and a Play/Pause(AKA P) and Stop(AKA X) button, which is where select and start would be these days. Still better than a standard Megadrive controller for fighting games though.
This game and Star Control 2 are what sold me to get the $400 3DO. One of my favorite systems from the 1990s.
oh yes cant forget bout starcontrol 2 great space puzzle game, urquan i recall n many diff aliens n planets to mine etc 🤣👍
Same boat here - loved Star Control II. Difference was my dad got the 3DO when it first released so seeing it go from $699 to $400 months later might have been a gut punch for him... if I hadn’t been playing the 3DO as much as I possibly could during the time in-between and talking his ear off about how much I enjoyed playing it. :) I think he felt like it was worth it.
@@perlichtman1562 it was worth it, it was 1 to 2 yrs advance for its time and the 1st true 32 bit home console that was cd rom based. I think it will turn out to be like neo geo with cult following if it hasnt yet. Maybe collectible too
@@plowking813 Agreed on all counts. :)
Ryu’s theme gets me so pumped
The og fz1 3DO is one of the best looking consoles of all time. Aesthetically seeing it running this game on import and being about a grand is nostalgia. The blinking led access lights, like model one mega cd, just by themselves are nostalgic and for the time seemed so cool. Imagining having this new super console that could and indeed was running arcade perfect ports. The future was here and, it was 700 dollars 😛 road rash...gex...I loved it. Wolfenstein on it was port of the mac version and included all the extra maps. Return fire on it was/is also absolutely sublime. A cool and quirky machine.
I never noticed this version lacked parallax! That's crazy.
I could have sworn ryu's stage the moon scrolled in the background as was so happy to finally see that move, odd!
@@plowking813 I just double checked, the moon doesn't move. I have been aware of this version since it was new, saw it at a trade show and never realised.
@@inceptional i remember the moon didnt move in snes version for orig sf2
@@plowking813 wasn't the moon completely missing from the SNES ports of SF2:WW and SF2:Turbo? I don't think it showed up until SSF2 on Nintendo's 16-bit console for some odd reason.
@@sabishiihito true now that i think of if the ps1 version had the moving moon
When I first played this version a decade ago it struck me as arcade perfect and it still impresses me even if it isn't. It makes the Snes and especially Megadrive ports of SSF2 look passable at best.
The soundtrack on this version is so good, by far my favorite mix of Street Fighter 2
Yh that's what he said 🙂
I was 18 years old working at Electronic Boutique in 93 and when the 3DO came out I thought it was the most futuristic console ever and was blown away by it even though I hadn't seen a single game in action. It was mega expensive at the time and just a hand full of people purchased it. One of them was a regular named John. He was a big time gamer. He was so excited and I was lucky enough to have sold it to him. I did eventually get a 3DO and I will say I had some fun with it.
Keep on the amazing work, Sega Lord X!
SSF2Turbo had the best music of the whole series. I would play this religiously at the local arcade which had a large-screen sit-down version with surround speakers. Man it was awesome.
I played this during lunch at Electronics Boutique at the Embarcadero in San Francisco a few times a week back then. Work was close by though getting Akuma on the first try was a challenge.
I love the casual mention that Sega Lord X has specifically ripped the 3DO SSF2 Turbo tracks for his car's MP3 player, lol. Rolling up to family gathering's blasting the 3DO Guile theme like a boss.
If I ever do acquire a 3DO, I’ll be sure this title is in my collection!
Make sure to get Space Hulk too, it's a very good strategy game
I remember when Akuma appeared to me. I had no idea what had happened. I sat there and fought him 97 times before I beat him.

Where I used to live there was a computer shop who used to rent out games and consoles but what was very special about this shop is the consoles were imports so I got to play a lot of import games before most kids my age. I got to play on consoles like the Saturn, N64, 3DO and Neo Geo CD before most kids. This game was one of them and to this day is still one of my favourite Street Fighter ganes
So much truth here-back in its day, this game was the best way to play the game outside of the arcade, period. I make no bones about admitting how much of an SNES fanboy I was back then, but when I first saw and heard this game in person, I was floored. Great work as usual, thank you!
Bought the 3DO just for this game. Had adapters I bought so I could use SNES and Genesis fight sticks. Played this for countless hours.
Great point about pointing out the differences. Back then, we didn't have the tools to assess how different each port was from the arcade. We were more appreciative of what we had and felt we got our money's worth.
Great comments on the 3DO. I was an owner back then and this game plus many others made the 3DO very memorable for me. Thanks for the great review!
At the time this was the most sort after game for me in the UK in1994 Sadly to expensive for me. Super moves, Turbo costumes, Akuma. Arcade perfect looking in magazines. what a port this truly was. And that redbook audio makes it great even to this day.
The other technical wonder, in terms of Street Fighter II, is the PC Engine version: especially when you consider that the game ran on an 8-bit card. The downside? It was only released on Japan, so the text is in Japanese.
Pcengine may had an 8bit cpu,but it also had DUAL 16bit gpu.
That made a huge difference,for pure 8bit wonder check the Master System version which was released in Brasil.
@@vasileios6301 Ah, yeah: the Tec Toy port. That company is still around and has a UA-cam channel.
Growing up we thought SF2 on snes was arcade perfect or damn near.
You certainly weren't wrong at least in your eyes. As long as the core gameplay remained largely intact back then you weren't obsessed with how well the game looked visually or even performed as long as it was a solid representation in its own right
lol you thought that not me i use to play at the arcade i thought the snes version was crap as a kid growing up
@@soloM81 I don't see how anyone that played the arcade version for more than one time couldn't tell the differences.
I was lucky enough to grow up with this as a kid on our 3DO. So happy it's still getting the love years later!
the 3DO was underrated. just don't play Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.
Final fight soundtrack on the mega CD vs super street fighter 2 soundtrack on the 3DO round 1 fight !! .. but wait !! here comes terminator mega CD running to the ring
Almost 30 years later, I still want a 3DO
IT was a piece of shit dude. The controller was terrible and the game selection was bad too. I didn't ask for it I don't know why my parents bought it for me, I'm certain the guy at he video game store (were no chains back then) suckered them into buying it to move his stock.
@@daelinproudmore5068 Do tell, what software did you have for it?
That was an unnecessarily harsh way of putting it. It's like Sega Lord X puts it - the 3DO was the best of the failed consoles. Funnily enough my parents talked me out of getting one (along with the Atari Jaguar, thank f... Haha) they said, "you know you're going to want that new Sega when it comes out and you can't have both". Really liking this channel lately, it's become my first choice for video game nostalgia.
Aside from Lucienne's Quest, this is the biggest 3DO game I've wanted to play. I know arcade-perfect versions have been available for almost a decade and a half, but there's just something special about these old console versions
The 3DO SSF2 ost is Godly
Nice video! Congrats! I had never noticed the lack of parallax scrolling. Also, -- having not seen a 3DO in ages now -- I didn't remember the music was that good .
I wanted a 3do for this game. Luckily , they released it on pc with a white genesis controller. The PC version was excellent and you could even put the game into your cd player and listen to the ost!
How was the ost?
@@camulodunon Even better than the 3DO's.
One of my favorite games on 3DO. FIFA Was pretty good back then too.
Yeah my "friend" had an expensive PC(at the time) and a freaking 3DO in 94... and this one made me jealous lol. Hope all is good with you and yours SLX!👊💥🇺🇲
My Dad spent almost $500 to buy me a 3DO and I took it to Jamaica one summer and my friends were in disbelief of how good this game was. I had this game, Samurai Showdown and Total Eclipse. I wish the system had more longevity because I got the feeling my dad felt like he wasted his money after I got bored with it in less than 2 years.
That delay when the music picks up is very noticeable. Looks and sounds great otherwise.
Definitely noticeable and probably jarring to a modern listener - but I can tell you that at the time, playing it as a pre-teen, the sliver of silence felt like everything fell away and the adrenaline surged as I braced myself for “the real battle” to begin. Sort of like the way that many action movies of earlier eras would drop out all sound to emphasize a dramatic line or moment before bringing the music back in more powerful than before.
Another definitive port on the 3DO is Star Wars: Rebel Assault. The FMV assets look so damned clean compared to even the PC original, and it controls so damned good! The cursor doesn't auto re-center like in so many other versions of the game. This is crucial in the flight levels, as you can actually properly dodge things!
This was the best port at the time easily.
@TrueSinister for turbo
I think the music from the MsDos version was the best. It was my first PC game and I still have it. I remember put the CD on my disk man, skip the first track and be able to listen to the soundtrack. I dont remember how was the details of the graphics/effects fidelity to arcade tho
The graphics were pretty much the same as the arcade version apart from some missing background animation and a zoomed in perspective due to the lower resolution.
You upload this.... I want to cry, because I had a 3do back in the 90's , lost the unit because me and family never stayed in one place. and I also had SF2 Turbo. First time discover akuma by my self
You know that moment when you think , man I’m old , when your kids point to your Atari 2600 and ask you what is it and you tell them and you then explain to them that you remember going to a store to buy it new :( lol.
I love SegaLord's support of the 3DO in recent years
My teen life playing SSF2T with 3DO Goldstar with only 1 hour game time allowed...
At the time, I was shocked that SSF2T made it to the 3DO but it did do the arcade port justice! Those arranged soundtracks.....wonderful!
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo X on the 3DO was the best home version ever made.
The Dreamcast version is the best true port of SSF2X. Not counting versions that are emulated like 30th Anniversary.
A lot of people forget that it was literally the only way to play Super Turbo at home until the collection came out at the end of Nov '97 for Saturn and PS1. I was lucky enough to have a friend with a 3DO and this game when it was new, and while the default controllers were pretty garbo he had adapters that let us use our SNES gamepads. It was our main Street Fighter game to play at home for over a year, and it wasn't until Street Fighter Alpha launched for the home consoles that we moved on from it.
I largely agree. :) The one (technical) exception is the DOS version in 1995 - but my Pentium cost more than the 3DO at the time, so the 3DO version was honestly the more affordable option.
this and the dos version were legendary, mainly for the soundtrack, good stuff really .
p.s: any time SLX sneaks in some RYGAR footage or music, it shows what a huge fan of good games he really is.
p.p.s: guile's music is still the best and this version is awesome, but i have to admit, they ken's stage music's new remix kinda sucks next to the otiginal.
Man the music on the 3DO version sounds amazing!
Find the way noble challenger. Find the Way of the Warrior.

Oh, no, no one should have to play that game, even if it is Naughty Dog's first.
"SWAN DIVE!!!"
I had this and the front loader, and an adapter to use the capcom snes arcade stock pro on it, was pure bliss
0:57 Ghouls n Ghost. Just the one ghost in the genesis version :'P
Yep, I was there, and I loved my 3do. As the matter of fact. I still have it and all the games I bought for it. Thanks for the video!
I got the Panasonic 3D0 console I no longer play on it if you like street fighter games you should go on Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox one PS2 PS3 PS4 arcade 1 up the only street fighter I’m interested in playing is street fighter 6 that capcom hasn’t released yet
Used to play this all the time in local game shop, sadly now gone. Was very tempted to buy a 3DO but it was not cheap! Ended up going halves with my brother on PlayStation when it came out.
I had the same impression of you back on the day - my jaw dropped with such high quality.
@Sega Lord X Great video as usual! I just wanted to make one small distinction since as a game music composer/arranger myself I want to make sure the new music got full credit. :) Most of the soundtrack comes from the FM Towns version but there are a few tracks that are different between the two. Going from memory, the FM Towns version had a different intro song (the SSFII one) and no Akuma theme, so both of those arrangements first appeared on the 3DO. I’m not sure if there were any other differences but I love that intro music as much as you do, so I wanted to highlight that the arrangement appeared on 3DO first. :)
I’ve only seen the FM Towns port via a few videos that I’ve watched, but I remember noticing that the music didn’t continue playing between rounds and that it was missing the KO versions of the music (aka the “heavy damage” themes). Then again I’m not sure if the game was being played on real hardware
I bought my 3do in 95 and it had so many amazing games .My favorites Wing Commander 3 , Star control 2 and Myst and ofc the best version of street fighter
This is actually the first time I see the legendary 3DO Super Turbo Running. With today's eyes is not nearly as Arcade perfect as I thought it was, the animation actually looks a lot more like the 16-bit versions. But it is today's eyes, back in the day I saw the 16-bit versions as Arcade perfect so...
The music is very good though
I liked street fighter 2 when I was a kid but when I first got to play ssf2t on the 3do I became obsessed with it. The soundtrack was absolutely the killer. Too bad about the p button placement. I never found an adapter that allowed me to play arcade sticks on it. I missed out with the snes adapter. They do have the soundtrack on the 15 anniversary sf collection on ps2 and ogxbox.
