7 Worst Ports of Legendary Games

In theory it’s a good thing when a brilliant game is ported onto a less powerful machine, giving more people the opportunity to enjoy it. In practice, these ports can be downright travesties, bearing as much resemblance to the original game as Andy to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

I guess Capcom was really into porting their games into other platforms back then

[@koolaid33]

Didn't notice that in the moment but yeah, 5 of the 7 games on the list were from Capcom or licensed by Capcom.

[@harleygunn4783]

I think it's largely due to the fact that Capcom was easily the biggest most popular video game creators at the time. Like the fact they were on this list 5/7 times speaks volumes to how bad they were at porting, but also speaks volumes to how amazing they were at making games in general.

[@joshuakirkham9593]

I think your just imagining it. There is no way that Capcom would relentlessly sell as many versions of its games (no matter the quality). Lol. At least they have not made a terrible Ace Attorney remake.

[@cigoLxeL]

@@Ice-Climber I read somewhere that he thought Heineman could just scan drawings of new enemies and weapons into a computer and they would turn into complete, fully spirited and programmed assets in the game.

[@Darkreaper1982]

I bought Street Fighter for the Commodore 64 for £14.99. To give some context, the game store I bought C64 games sold the vast majority of games for £2.99. I was not a happy bunny when I got SF2 home and loaded it up!

[@scottneil1187]

Probably as disappointed as I was when I bought sf2 for Amiga, just bad.

[@righteousshift482]

[@DodderingOldMan]

Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop is actually a pretty great game if you can look past how it differs from the other games in the series. They removed the timer and made the mission structure way more manageable and fun. Escorting NPCs works way better.

I remember waiting and waiting for the Amstrad CPC port of SF2. Multiple mail order companies had it up for pre-order, Amstrad Action would promise they’d have news on it in the next issue every month. Eventually, it turned out it wasn’t coming and allegedly was never even planned to be a thing in the first place. Probably a good thing, ultimately.

[@gwishart]

US Gold (and a few other publishers) had a habit of advertising games for the C64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC; but would only actually program the C64 and Spectrum versions. If the game sold well on those two formats, they'd re-use most of the Spectrum code and graphics to produce a quick and dirty port for the Amstrad.

Two things to say about that 2600 port of Pac-Man, coming from someone who didn't grow up with the system, but _did_ buy one of those emulator boxes they had in the supermarket for a while for curiosity's sake: 1. That game looks _a lot_ more visually impressive than most 2600 games I've played, and 2.

Ha ha, Mike thinking people will wait a few minutes to correct his Cyclops statement!

[@adnanasif9538]

The worst Street Fighter 2 port is the MS-DOS version of the "world warrior" iteration. Nothing works in that port properly.

[@jonsimmons945]

Capcom is definitely the common denominator in this video lol. Shame on you Capcom!

[@mulrich]

What, no "DOOM" on the 3DO? I thought that one would be a shoe-in for this list.

[@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield]

You can play doom on like anything, I think they have recently made one that plays on a riding lawnmower 😂. I wonder if they have a text only Doom, like Zork or Atrocity MUD

[@Braham21]

The resi game is legitimately impressive to be honest. Bad, but impressive.

[@Leith_Crowther]

Idea for one of those more personal commentary videos: 7 bad video games that you love despite their flaws.

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

Final Fight One is an actual GBA port that benefited from 32-bit hardware compared to the SNES's 16-bit hardware. It may be a port of the SNES versions, but it introduces actual improvements. This can be used as example of surprisingly improved ports of bad games.

He's also not just "quite good at karate," as the other fella said he's "so good at karate he can shoot fireballs."

[@SirIzzyBlack]

Capcom was one game short of a sweep here.

[@cyanimation1605]

Team Fortress 2 on 360/PS3? It was basically a demo, never got updated, and I don't know if it even had matchmaking. I got The Orange Box excited to see what this huge fuss was about and got... an empty walking simulator in what looked like the backlot of Pixar's "Boundin'"

[@synthraofficial5366]

An alternate title for this video could be "Five Times Capcom Made Awful Ports of Otherwise Great Games and Also Two Other Awful Ports Made By Other Companies, But Still Mostly Capcom."

[@Galliao]

zombie poodle? They should have gone with zombie chihuahua. It would've made the game far more terrifying.

[@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield]

Hmmmm... smaller target, way less cute, probably considerably faster, and one of the more aggressive breeds of dogs... you make a valid point.

[@Galvamel]

What about the Streetfighter 2 port for the Master System? It was available in South America. But I guess, that was actually a really good port.

[@mikedangerdoes]

ngl I read the title as "7 Worst PARTS of Legendary Games". And I'd be keen to watch that. I'm thinking certain levels, certain outdated mechanics, maybe the inclusion of microtransations, go wild.

[@RayB50]

You're first game is one of my favorite! I loved FF on snes. Maybe cuz I didn't play the arcade version and didn't know the difference

[@TheRealCodeBlack]

Not Andy doing a Groucho Marx impression while trying to do a The Rock impression. XD

[@HMTarnus]

No love/hatred for the original PC port of Dark Souls?

[@AsterTopaz]

Even without mods, I'm pretty confident the PC port was a little better than the original Xbox 360 version; the playthrough of the 360 version I've watched started out well, but turned into a slideshow for a small part of the beginning of Blighttown!

[@PLAYER_42069]

This topic easily lend itself to another video that centers on the worst PC ports of Legendary Games e.g. The Last of Us (Part I), the original Dark Souls, Grand Theft Auto IV, etc. Some PC ports are legendary * because * they're so awful and still haven't been fixed to this day.

[@Nikko764]

Replica By the Fireplace. The burnt sugar note is really on point, but the best part about that perfume is the fireplace accord. It smells like a cotton sweater the next morning after a bonfire. One of my favorite smells of all time

[@AlanRowarth]

"Slideshow of your trip to the local rectangle factory" *chef kiss*

[@lizarddude1000]

The worst "ports" for me have ALWAYS been simultaneous releases on last-gen consoles. I still remember buying Dragon Age Inquisition for the Xbox 360 and the opening hour being so terrible with missing textures, super slow loading, and weird sound issues that I just turned it off and waited a year until I had an Xbox One to play it.

[@rmbettac]

Final fight was such a fun game though. Turbo controllers made that game hilarious. You’re swinging a pipe so fast the screen is a blur and Andre comes right on over to you, testing the pipe with his face 😂

[@MrFutago87]

How about the Switch port of Mortal Kombat 1? At least the initial release of it, I do not actually know how it looks now.

[@riksweeney]

I remember buying the C64 version of Double Dragon back in the day. Single player only and the player had a visible join where they developers had combined two sprites together to make one big one.

[@bwalker77]

One of my worst disappointments was when I bought Spider-Man 2 - the 2004 game that was a tie-in for the movie - on PC. I had tried the PS2 version and, like everyone else, was impressed by how fun it was to web swing in an open world New York. I was expecting to get the same game. What I got was a non-open world game where you could web swing if you aimed at some floating glowing orbs. Pretty awful.

[@AgentMonochrome]

Are there 7 games with strange/iconic pause sounds? Street Fighter II is one of my favorites!

[@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield]

The Battletoads pause music still slaps to this day. That fire has burned for decades.

[@roguishpaladin]

Q: What did Frank Castle say when someone asked him whether he did any music journalism? A: "I've covered GWAR, you know."

[@chucklebutt4470]

Frank Castle would just reload his gun and ignore you probably. Frank West, on the other hand. ;)
