Guilty Gear X is another mind blowing GBA fighting game port. Though the camera was missing the typical 'zoom in' and by default was set just a little too far back, the speed, special moves, sound effects... even chiptune versions of the game's trademark rock soundtrack was there. A wonderfully playable game and a remarkable achievement.

Dude I love the slick editing and just the whole concept of punching weight. It's catnip for smark gamers! If I can make some editing suggestions; changing backgrounds for different games (eg it's blue but change to a red tint for SFA) and having a brief pause (showing footage over just music for ~5 seconds) between games, just to get a quick breather would be tops, since you're throwing a lot of succinct information quickly! Minor things, love the show man.

Hey, suggestion for a Punching Weight episode: Take a look at console ports of the PC Wing Commander series, particularly the ports of WC1 to the SNES and WC Prophecy for the GBA. Both of them are incredibly ambitious, and arguably shouldn't be possible given how limited the consoles were compared to contemporary PCs. Yet they happened. 3D space dogfights on consoles that struggled to do 3D at all. GBA Prophecy even went so far as to take the PC pre-rendered FMV sequences and convert them into in-engine cinematics!
@det.bullock44616 жыл бұрын
I was always curious about those! Especially the SNES version. Also weirdly enough even on PC the windows version of the first game for the Kilrathi Saga compilation was a buggy mess, and it's not like the game ran all that well in the original DOS version either.
@jasonblalock44296 жыл бұрын
What's really interesting about the SNES version is that I'm like 99% sure that Mindscape actually ported the Wing Commander *engine* rather than recreating the game. There are too many quirks of the PC version that it carries over, not to mention them knocking out the "Secret Missions" sequel just a few months later. It's a legitimately accurate port, although the colors are washed out and the controls suffer for being on a D-pad. It also has the most batshit complicated button layout for a SNES game ever, requiring the use of Select+Button combos to access most of the HUD functions like the communications screen. And IIRC, ejecting required a three-button combo. But they actually crammed the entire PC control scheme in there! I mean, if THAT'S not "Punching Weight" material, I don't know what is.

I have Wing Commander on my SNES, as an actual cartridge. I played it a bit back in the day, and thought it was pretty good. I never realized how ambitious that port was until years later when a friend who was big into PC gaming showed it to me on the PC. The cutscenes were amazingly more detailed in the original. That being said, it played solidly on the SNES, and while most console ports are just a weird nick-knack compared tot he PC originals, that is one game I could probably go through the whole game on the SNES. Except for when they pair you with Maniac. F*** you, Maniac, get the hell out of my game. Derek, if you do an episode on it, I am totally willing to hook you up with my cart. It's the kind of game where I don't trust emulators to run it right.

It's worth noting that not only does Super Turbo Revival glitch up when you access the hidden Shin Akuma boss fight, it also breaks your save data. It's one of the few truly game-breaking bugs in a fighting game, and the only one I can think of that you can get without purposefully doing it - just play well, get perfects, don't lose a fight, and your save data gets corrupted when you get to the end of the game.

The 3DS port of Super Street Fighter IV is pretty amazing, despite the fact you didn't talk about it here bar a mention. SSFIV was a pretty big game having been developed specifically for Xbox 360 and PS3-spec hardware, so the fact they got the whole game onto the 3DS (which could barely handle a straight port of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, a PS2 game) was a miracle unto itself. Also, interesting to note is that while SSFIV3D usually runs at 30fps (the console versions running a full 60), you can actually improve the performance to an actual 60fps (or close to it) by turning the 3D functionality off in the 3DS' system settings. I think you could do a solid episode of Punching Weight going over Capcom's 3DS and Vita games, since some of those are pretty impressive showcases of their MT Framework Mobile engine. SSFIV3D, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D/Revelations, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 in particular.

@@WaxxyVanderquail wrong. Cause q brick hurts no matter what But there was a time where people didnt use satin, polyester, or soft cotton covers to hold the cotton that made the pillows. They used maybe dirt, or just packs of clothes or akin from animals as pillows. And it's all they knew...and it was comfortable. And ask any of them, if you could, what was the best pillow..thwy would answer that the newer types are obviously better, but that doesn't mean that NOW the old shit w asnt good and comfortable at their time...and because of their time, they didn't have the option of today...so they...had no choice but to judge that pillow based on that time. And at that time..there was less options...and everyone dealt with that. Not just poor people vs rich people. Not just a group vs another group. EVERYONE had that limited option. So it was normal. Not a choice or lack of choice just was. So...based on that time, those limited options..you only had those things to judge from. Of course tiger didn't compete with gameboy..,but...as a game itself and toy...it was great. You w asnt buying it for competition. You were buying it to just be an extra toy to keep you busy and it would onlky work that way...if it was good. And what did you have to compare it to? Nothing. Cause we already knew it wasn't a game gear or game boy...get it? It was just a game/toy that took the place of busy games...like the apps on your cell phone. You d ont exactly care for the games on your mobile. You just download them and play to be busy. Kinda hooked..,but it's all just busy games. Not your psvita, ps4m pc, etc. Just a quick travel game. There was no real option for that. Tiger was that. You weren't killing 4 batteries in the gameboy. They burn out easy for the amount you play. Vs a Tiger of little power,,which lasted longer. And mostly cause you played them for "quick fix" Brick to pillow isn't the same thing. You're establishing one thing that's not even seen as a pillow and never would be to an actual choice Where as my example is that one thing considered a pillow...just not the best...can still be enjoyed as good for the situation it's made for.

That's amazing, they also made my favourite version of Space Invaders, and now having the context of the company going defunct after Alpha 3 Upper, it explains why multiple other projects they were working on in 2002 were cancelled. SpeedBall 2 Deluxe was released within two months of the EU release of Alpha 3, but other Bitmap Brothers ports they were working on - Gods, Magic Pockets and Chaos Engine - along with a handheld adaptation of GTA 3 were all scrapped when the company filed for bankruptcy in early 2003. OH THAT HURTS TO LEARN! But it gives me extra respect for these ports, they were made with love, unquestionably.

Not only was the GBA version of Alpha 3 Upper the most complete and massive fighting game on the Gameboy Advance, it also managed to cram it all onto one of the smallest and cheapest boards Nintendo offered. Capcom didn't feel like paying for one of the more expensive cartridges so Crawfish had to figure out to get all that game onto extremely limited space. Frames of animation and the inclusion of some stages came down to practically individual bytes of space they had to allocate. The thing is nothing short of a technical miracle.

Street fighter alpha on gameboy color was mind blowing to me as a kid. I used to think what I was playing was the real deal graphics hahahaha

Awesome video! Super thorough. I love learning about portable ports of games.

Honestly, I'd love to see an entire video dedicated to GBA fighting games. Guilty Gear on the GBA doesn't get enough love. Also, man. Imagine making a port as good as Alpha 3 for the GBA, but then still getting shafted because you finished it a bit late.

Alpha 3 GBA was my jam back in the day, insanely good port considering the hardware limitations. One nitpick to note is that the new characters Eagle, Maki, and Yun were added in the GBA port and later PSP version (which is still the definitive version of Alpha 3), not the arcade version of Upper.

@Rabite890 GBA version is called Upper (but is separate from the earlier arcade Upper, which is a port to NAOMI hardware with all the previous console exclusive characters and new bugfixes - it's really confusing I know) PSP version is SFZ3 Double Upper in Japanese and SFA3 MAX in the west.

no sweat, the naming of Street Fighter games can get really confusing

I'm so glad Alpha-GBC gets the props it so truly deserves! It really was such a fantastic game for such an underpowered system, and it was a genuine joy to play - smooth, responsive, moves.. great animation.. and very impressive visuals, again, for a GBC :) I actually wasn't aware of the lack of MP though, that's a shame. Then, of course, it's the utterly sublime SFA3 on GBA -- beaten only by the flawlessly enhanced PSP port as, IMO!, the best versions of SFA3 :D

Hey man, great video as always. I would love to see more fighting game ports on the GB, GBA and don't forget the Game gear! we need some videos on the game gear. And also just as a friendly advise, if you do another fighting game video, could you please select different characters? lol this one was ryu all the way, specially sad in the alpha 3 section, i want to see more than just ryu and hadoukens over and over. Take care :D

Alpha's Game Boy port was sick! It controlled well, the roster was there, and it was fun too.

Street fighter 2 was the first game i ever bought for the original Game Boy. I had a lot of fun with it and never had any problems pulling out moves.

In 1993 in the UK a handheld console pullout magazine in C&VG did an April fools joke that Street Fighter 2 would be on the Gameboy with a black and white still of the Snes game lol but ironically it became real 3 years later.

I'm glad to hear that it wasn't just my copy of Super Street Fighter 2 on the GBA, would glitch out when I got to Akuma.

Character endings were in Street Fighter 2 for Gameboy. You had to complete the game on a high difficulty level than two although this was made quite difficult by how ungodly difficult the computer opponents were made on any difficulty level higher than two. But, it was possible as I have done it more than once

I played the original game boy port a lot since I didn't have a SNES. The character endings actually are in there. You just need to play on the hardest difficulty to unlock them.
