[@Medachod]

Given that SEGA was the one that kind of made that game since it was on their arcade hardware, I would not be surprised if their systems replicate it the best. Also, the Mega Drive just sounds FAR more badass in comparison to the others. Even the Game Gear sounds better than most of them do. If the Saturn had the first game, I bet it would have sounded far superior if they aimed for simply upping the sound quality in place of remixing it and simply making a straight port of the arcade version with no altercations whatsoever aside from extra menu settings.

[@lux4019]

Medachod Which mega drive version do you think sounds best? PuyoPuyo or Mean Bean Machine?

[@Medachod]

+Espee, Oh, original for sure. I consider what MBM did like somebody painting a bigger smile on Mona Lisa cause the original doesn't look good enough. But besides that, the drums they use feel overbearing and they made it louder so that it downplays the rest of the instrumentation altogether. It's still a good game in its own right, but I don't like comparing it to the original since it feels strange that they had to re-skin it at all to me.

[@lux4019]

Medachod Ok, the track ended up going unused anyway.

[@Medachod]

+Espee, Cause they reworked it into the credits theme instead. It's not unused, they just changed it up.

[@tiptopspider7452]

11:39 is my favorite theme. It sounds like it belongs in a Hyperdimension Neptunia OST. Also, in general, they should make a Hyperdimension Neptunia version with the bean combo formula style of game. That would make me very happy. It would have every main villain from the series.

[@QueenOfBlueScreens]

so, rather than simply saying which version is my favorite, here are my thoughts on each version: Genesis: classic version that everyone knows. Game Gear: simple, yet charming. one of my personal favorites. NEC: literally just a compressed version of the original. Mean Bean Machine: literally just the original, just with heavier percussion and some slight changes in instrumentation. SFC: sounds pretty nice, but the sample used for the lead at the beginning is a bit lacking. PC Engine: simple like the game gear, yet somehow sounds worse. not to say i thought it was bad, just not as good as some of the others. GB: the Game Boy's limitations REALLY didn't do this song any favors. or the game itself, for that matter. FM Towns: sounds AWESOME starting off, but the pitch slides are a bit... unnecessary. other than that, this is EASILY one of my favorites! Saturn: WAY different, but not necessarily bad. i personally really like it! Ketteiban: baseline and percussion are AWESOME; but the pitch slides REALLY turn me off on this one, even more so than the FM Towns version. BOX: tries to be the original, but doesn't quite nail it. 15th: amazing, and a HUGE step in the right direction in terms of modernization! 20th: takes what 15th did and improves upon it even more! truly excellent!

[@soko4710]

the FM towns version almost sounds like it was made with the pokémon RSE soundfront

[@realLucasSilva]

[@atteranenforcer5263]

Such a good track. Always tends to pop into my head time to time for no reason, but man do I love Arle's theme. XD (Makes me wonder how a remix would sound if Arle was added in Smash. XD doubt it, but considering the slew of characters Ultimate got, who knows? XD)

[@lincolnclay116]

[@Mr.Atari2600]

Duh Fuq? They actually made a Game Boy version? Since the game is about matching colors. It's really hard to tell the difference between those beans. At least the Game Gear version looks way better.

[@CansteamHeadcannon]

you didnt use the Cast theme from mean bean machine?

[@sonicboy678]

It was probably deemed too different for practical use in this video. Unlike the Sega-era version, that one has a far greater difference in arrangement.

[@Medachod]

+sonicboy678, It was still the theme, though. I feel it was worthy for this video since the Anniversary games also remix it quite heavily.

[@sonicboy678]

Not really. The only significant changes are the opening and the bridge into the loop.

The original Genesis & Game Gear versions are great. I also like the Mean Bean Machine version, and the Puyo Puyo BOX version. I think my favorite version, isn't here, though... from Puyo Puyo Tetris, track 9. It's similar to the 15th and 20th anniversary versions, but just a bit more refined and has an overall more exciting vibe to it.
