Huge Sega Saturn Update - X Men Arcade version 0.3

[@crystalwater505]

God I love X Men the arcade game. I still play through it a lot at random times. It never gets old. That's cool that it's getting a Saturn port just to see what it can do. It looks amazing so far.

[@Daneh97]

how do you normally play it?

[@jessragan6714]

Also: someone needs to make a Saturn version of The Revenge of Death Adder! Golden Axe: The Dual just isn't cutting it, Sega.

[@ViceCitizen]

This. Please. Why after all this time have we still not gotten a home port of this game?

[@parappatherapper4141]

We're all waiting for it...

[@mushra50]

These are the arcade titles that need to be ported to PlayStation 1 Nintendo 64 in Sega Saturn let's begin 1. The Simpsons arcade game 2. Cadillacs and dinosaurs 3. Golden Axe revenge of death adder 4. A brand new version of X-Men versus Street fighter made from the ground up 5. Dead or alive

2:20 You can do ultra wide display by using two consoles with a serial link.

[@SEGAGuys]

Possibly, I'd be interested to see how that would work, but it'd be awesome! - Dan

[@JRod-zr8qk]

Totally amazing!!

[@jessragan6714]

That reminds me... I've got to check on the progress of Final Fight MD.

[@malant2719]

Good luck with that one mate, been waiting ages for Shinobi arcade for the MD

[@captainhawdon937]

so impressive!

[@galaxymalachi8619]

Hot rod x huh huum I can dig it I'm all in I'll keep a look out for this for my collection hahaha

[@darktetsuya]

been kinda following this one, it sounds extremely cool! hopefully they're able to finish it and release a completed version of it.

[@killemm8256]

If all gets said and done, were the gameplay, roster, balance, etc.. becomes finalized; it would be amazing to add a 6-player with multi-tap support, and a widescreen option by combining three crt's/monitors for that true representation aha. All in all, what an amazing project that is happening!

[@TheRetroMartin]

Just going through some stuff on the Fenrir now and have this lined up to try very shortly. I enjoyed the first two builds a lot. Its an outstanding achievement!

[@SEGAGuys]

Especially when you consider HotRod X is using absolutely none of the source code of the arcade game … he’s building these assets from scratch. Insane work. - James.

[@RetroFix]

Dang. Thats one sharp, scrutinizing eye you got! Very hard to tell if not looking for it 😆

[@anthonyflabi4854]

I want this on a disk!

[@worrow]

Not bad at all!

[@Gaming_For_Ages]

looking VERY tasty!!

[@rolandbaron5813]

How can we download this version on the saturn?

[@thedrunkmonkshow]

There's a lot of differences between this and the Arcade original but I get that this is a work in progress where many things are just placeholders and it's all the work of one man which is amazing. For example at 6:32, the burning down of the wall animation is too slow from Pyro's entrance and his AI is way more cheap in the arcade where you can't just stun lock and knock him down over and over because as soon as he gets up he has I-frames to leap away and immediately begins a barrage of jump kicking. There's also missing frames of walking animation with the weaponless sentinels and their speed is slightly slower with moving around the screen than usual. Again, all minor tweaks in the grand scheme of things and I'm sure they will get ironed out by version 1.0 or when it's fully out of the oven. It's a shame this never got ported for real in the 90's probably due to licensing issues with Marvel but to get the game 30+ years later for the Saturn? I'll take it! 😇😎

[@thedrunkmonkshow]

I also wanted to compliment that the game is running at beautiful 60fps! The Arcade seemed to have been locked at 30fps so that's definitely a vast improvement over the original.

[@SEGAGuys]

@@thedrunkmonkshow Yeah, HotRodX isn’t using any of the original assets for this, everything you see has been recreated from scratch by him … which makes this version all the more impressive. - James.

Can i play this on sega saturn emulator ?

[@BitBoxTurbo]

Hey man. Enjoy the content but wanted to bring some things to your attention. First, your video capture is a weird blur down the middle of the screen. I've noticed this on your last few videos. Poor cable maybe? And second, your mic audio is peaking pretty regularly. Might want to tweak settings a bit to keep it from distorting. Hope this helps!

[@1lichfield]

No blur for me when viewing.. maybe it's an issue with your screen/tech?

[@BitBoxTurbo]

@@1lichfield it's only on Dan's videos, specifically. It's very subtle but it's there.

[@BitBoxTurbo]

Also wanted to mention that I'm seeing it on both of my pc monitors, TV and phone. And, again, only the Megadrivers videos. So idk.

[@SEGAGuys]

Thanks for the feedback. Only noticed it when you pointed it out. Going over the footage I have seems to be only present when using a specific Saturn console, so hopefully it's just a cable to be replaced rather than anything on the video board.

[@BitBoxTurbo]

​@@SEGAGuysI'm sure it's just a cable. I've had this issue with analog cables before (my current scart cable is a bit difficult to work with). Would love an internal hdmi mod for Saturn but oh well. Might try the RAD2X hdmi cable at some point though.

[@TwesomE]

Sorry but we talk about a system which i strongly believe could run this arcade game with no issue,why we referring to saturn as if some kind of system which didn't had the power to run this?!? For instance there also was a captain comando version for psone and was running really nice though a little older i think as an arcade game! If we talked about a 16bit system i would say ok those kind of arcades could not be ported perfectly!

[@mushra50]

It's not a port they made the game from the ground up without the use of a source code or emulation

[@SEGAGuys]

It makes the game all the more impressive that HotRodX is doing this from the ground up without any source code or assets. He’s capturing the art style of the coin-op perfectly.
