For those who didn't understand the differences in aspect ratio, here are some tips and explanations:

[@Kig_Ama]

The playstation has much better water and transparency effects.

[@germantorre1422]

Saturn all the way

[@phillai]

I don't know about gameplay but the aspect ratio looks much better on the Saturn version.

[@dannonyogurt98]

The PlayStation version suffers from more slowdown and washed out colors. If you fix the aspect ratio on the saturn transparency is the only thing PlayStation version has going for it.

Hmm, interesting differences. The PS1 version looks slightly nicer thanks to the correct aspect ratio, but the transparency on the water is actually not accurate to the SNES and there is some sort of timing issue going on. This was a great choice for a comparison level because the forced scrolling really reveals the timing differences. It would be interesting to compare to the SNES version to see which one is most accurate in speed. I’d probably just prefer to the play the SNES version over these ports if I’m honest! 😅

According to Saturn fans in the comments for this one: The game being shown in it's original, proper resolution is a bad thing and the more detailed transparencies are somehow a bad thing.

I think the Saturn is highly under rated. It shines on many game ports that Playstation 1 struggled with, such as the Marvel versus Capcom series of games. The Saturn was arcade perfect on those. I own a ps1 now and I would probably much rather have a Saturn with a ton of Japanese releases. I think the Saturn is every bit as capable as the ps1 if the developers knew how to take advantage and understood the architecture better. They made the Saturn too complex to program for, from what I read, much like the Jaguar which I think never saw it's full potential either unfortunately.

Everyone here is mentioning the water transparency effects as a standout for the PlayStation but few are mentioning the fact that the zoom/scalling effect is better and smoother on the Sega Saturn version. Also applies to the distortion effect in the map scene.

Sega Saturn is the best

[@uptowndanram6753]

Despite their (minor) differences, both 32-bit ports triumph over the SNES/SFC original just off of the fact that they squashed all of the slowdown that occured in the original hardware. The later GBA port would've been the best version of this game if a) the resolution and sound quality weren't crushed due to the GBA's limitations and b) if it didn't have the worst slowdown of every version of SGnG. The bonus levels exclusive to this port CHUG, as if the GBA were struggling for dear life. Strikes me as lazy programming from Capcom.

スーパーファミコンは横256ドットなんだけどサターンは256ドットにできない(320か352)プレイステーションは256、320、384に出来る。

This was a nice compilation from 3 titles: The Arcade, Ghosts and Goblins (256x240 resolution); the arcade, Ghouls and Ghosts (384x224 resolution); and the SNES, Super Ghouls and Ghosts (256x224 resolution).

[@dyscotopia]

Did the saturn really have big black bars on the side? That seems like a capture card problem but it makes the saturn automatically look worse and it certainly was not bad at 2d platform games

[@rodrigoc.teixeira5242]

Muitas pessoas falando da água transparente no PS1, só que estão esquecendo que o do Saturn foi feito

[@Monhamd1000]

Playstation has better water transparency but Saturn is more pleasing on the colors

[@patrickmurphy9470]

Saturn has better contrast. PS1 colors look softer. Both are great but Saturn FTW.

[@christopherdowling1478]

I know people going to say transparency for the win, but really?! That’s what you get out of this. While it might look cooler, the water in the Saturn version is how it should be. Plus the colors on the Saturn just pop more than the psx version. Don’t get me wrong, I loved both systems and they each have their own “this one is better than that one,” but the Saturn version is the winner here.
