Super Street Fighter II Turbo - 3DO Review

[@Elchimex]

I bought a used 3do like 5 years ago at a auction in boise Idaho. They didn’t know what it was. Some thought it was a VCR or DVD player. Best 20 bucks I’ve spent.

[@perlichtman1562]

It was a really cool system at the time. Got mine as a Christmas present when they still sold at the original MSRP and have that original system still working underneath my TV today. :) Star Control II (my late stepfather’s favorite game of all time), Need For Speed and several other games offered things in the 3DO versions that weren’t available on other platforms. I got so much mileage out of it that I didn’t move to a newer system until Christmas 1997 (PS1). Lots of great gaming memories from those years.

[@Prizrak-hv6qk]

This was ones of the games I rented with a 3DO back in days. While most aspects of it were very impressive, I found the lack of parallax scrolling to be inexplicable and inexcusable. I mean, here's a $700 console in 1994 and it can't do something that's a staple of 16-bit gaming and my Genesis (and SNES) can do with ease!

[@gizaha]

Correct. Also inexcusable is the low quality sound effects for a system with plenty of storage space. Higher versions even fit in the snes spc700 64kb memory (if you exclude the music).

[@DeVstatrOmga]

Brings back memories. I had this on the Sega Genesis as a kid but one day my Uncle bought himself a 3DO with this game and my fragile little mind was blown away by the differences in graphics.

[@SirReptitious]

The 3DO was priced so obscenely it was a complete joke to me. Between it's insane price, and Nintendo and Sega being the only "real" game companies around, I knew it was going to fail. I bought a Genesis when Super Street Fighter II came out for it, JUST to play that single game. Is it the best SFII game? Of course not. But for the price I was very happy with it(and that game wasn't cheap either, since it was on a double-sized cartridge).

[@Kikwatz]

​@@SirReptitiousOk, but I really don't understand why you bought a Mega Drive (or "Genesis" as you call it) instead of a Super Nintendo?! Graphics and sound were soooo much better on this....

[@thelastfeast3849]

Yes, Hyper SF2 was the first time I heard the 3do soundtrack. Didn’t even realise it was from that game until recently as I vaguely remember it being simply called the ‘arrange’ soundtrack, or something similar.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

They also use the soundtrack on Street Fighter collection 2 on PlayStation 1. You had to beat the game to unlock it

[@zoratsu]

i still have my 3do copy i bought when it came out back in the 90's :D

[@perlichtman1562]

Interesting to see people talking about the price. I think a lot of people forget that the video game systems from Nintendo and Sega (and later Sony) had manufacturing controlled by the company and were sold at a loss with that offset by higher royalties on the games. By contrast, 3DO itself didn’t manufacture the hardware, rather that was licensed to manufacturers to make various models (Panasonic, Goldstar, Creative Labs, etc.) and were originally not intended to sell at that sort of a loss - and the licensing fees were much lower, In other words, it’s not that the 3DO was price-gouging, it’s that market price expectations were artificially low due to years of being accustomed to systems selling at a big loss and the unsustainably of that in a model with lower royalties.

I had this on the 3DO and it was sublime. I couldn't believe the soundtrack and audio quality when I first loaded it. Near arcade perfect, and the disc stayed in the 3DO almost the whole time.

[@yellowblanka6058]

I do miss the days of playing games in the arcade that just weren't realistically possible on home consoles without noticeable concessions (unless you/your parents were loaded and could afford a Neo-Geo and games/X68000 computer etc.) - wandering arcades as a kid and seeing all the huge, colorful sprites flying around with minimal slowdown. I wish arcades (or maybe VR arcades) made a comeback with insane system boards with 3/4 GTX 3090's, maxed out i9's, 64+GB of RAM etc. producing games that wouldn't be possible at home.

[@perlichtman1562]

@Sega Lord X Great video as usual! I just wanted to make one small distinction since as a game music composer/arranger myself I want to make sure the new music got full credit. :) Most of the soundtrack comes from the FM Towns version but there are a few tracks that are different between the two. Going from memory, the FM Towns version had a different intro song (the SSFII one) and no Akuma theme, so both of those arrangements first appeared on the 3DO. I’m not sure if there were any other differences but I love that intro music as much as you do, so I wanted to highlight that the arrangement appeared on 3DO first. :)

[@lvl99ultrathug]

I’ve only seen the FM Towns port via a few videos that I’ve watched, but I remember noticing that the music didn’t continue playing between rounds and that it was missing the KO versions of the music (aka the “heavy damage” themes). Then again I’m not sure if the game was being played on real hardware

At the time of release this machine was amazing. Road rash and NFS were crazy looking and as you said this version of SF2 was pretty much arcade perfect and far beyond the 16 bit versions. As a machine to own between the 16 bit era until Ridge racer arrived on the PS1 at launch it was very enjoyable with some great games. I sure enjoyed using mine back then. Every machine gets superceded by something better, luckily i was around to experience each new gen of gaming in person.

[@Trialwolf]

A staple of 3DO games is that they always have exclusive remixed version of music or original music compared to ports on other systems.

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

I love that you give the 3do a fair shake, but to people who didn't play it (myself included), I think the problems were as much related to issues like the daisy chain controllers that apparently weren't good, and obviously the price - which is the main reason no-one played it. It doesn't matter how capable it was if it was inaccessible to most people, so in many ways the "hate", is deserved! If the Neo Geo didn't have the MVS, it most likely would've been similarly derided and forgotten. You've probably said all this yourself anyway! My favourite console is the WiiU! Now that's a piece of hardware that got the short end of the stick!!!

Back then, every console had good and unique titles. Even the Jaguar had Tempest 2000 and AVP. The Virtual Boy was a very unique experience across the board. The CD-I had Pebble Beach Golf. Personally, the 3DO was my system of choice for a few years, until Saturn and PS1 came out in US.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@@Not-Great-at-Gaming The biggest problem with the 3DO is you really have to look at it historically. You have to see where it fits in that little niche between the 16-bit era and the early 32-bit era. The problem was after the Saturn and definitely after the PlayStation were launched it faded so fast into obscurity it wasn't even funny. I owned one after I owned a PlayStation and going back was incredibly painful. It's remarkable how archaic it felt just a few years after the PlayStation launched. I'm pretty sure I still have it sitting in my garage somewhere yet it might have been one of the few consoles I actually gave away because of the time I just couldn't find any games for it and just didn't care.

[@lmcgregoruk]

@@lazarushernandez5827 The 3DO and Neo-Geo were no doubt good systems, the killing blow for both, was the insanely huge price tags they cost at the time. Probably the same reason that in the UK, 9 out of 10 kids would have had a ZX Spectrum rather than a Commodore 64, I don't think doubted that the C64 had the superior hardware, but when you could get a Spectrum for a fraction of the cost, and still have fun with mostly the same games, that's what's going to happen. Plus since parents were the ones paying for it, they're more likely to get something cheaper for their kid. It did have the advantage of because most people had the same system, swapping/borrowing/copying tapes gave you more choice of games to play.

It wasn’t until the very late 90s I was able to afford another system. I had plenty of games to play, Many of which blew me away with their graphics. People often spend too much time talking about the bad games on the system or how it’s better on this other system and forget about games like SF2 which were simply amazing when it was released.

[@SuperGainsBrosYT]

The soundtrack on this version is so good, by far my favorite mix of Street Fighter 2

[@ciotay5469]

Yh that's what he said 🙂

[@Yuuretsu]

When I first played this version a decade ago it struck me as arcade perfect and it still impresses me even if it isn't. It makes the Snes and especially Megadrive ports of SSF2 look passable at best.

[@capcomfan82]

This was the best port at the time easily.

[@capcomfan82]

@TrueSinister for turbo

[@Ldysith84]

When I was a little girl I wanted a 3DO just because of this port and the Gex games lol my family couldn’t afford it but I remember reading about them in gaming magazines at the time and thinking they were so cool

[@PaperBanjo64]

Gex at least came to PlayStation and Saturn

[@megagrey]

Almost 30 years later, I still want a 3DO

[@daelinproudmore5068]

IT was a piece of shit dude. The controller was terrible and the game selection was bad too. I didn't ask for it I don't know why my parents bought it for me, I'm certain the guy at he video game store (were no chains back then) suckered them into buying it to move his stock.

[@megagrey]

@@daelinproudmore5068 Do tell, what software did you have for it?

[@harryradley]

That was an unnecessarily harsh way of putting it. It's like Sega Lord X puts it - the 3DO was the best of the failed consoles. Funnily enough my parents talked me out of getting one (along with the Atari Jaguar, thank f... Haha) they said, "you know you're going to want that new Sega when it comes out and you can't have both". Really liking this channel lately, it's become my first choice for video game nostalgia.

[@jamesregan6679]

The 3DO port also has the Q Sound bumper in the attract mode. I don’t know of any other port that has that!

[@TheRetroScene]

You know that moment when you think , man I’m old , when your kids point to your Atari 2600 and ask you what is it and you tell them and you then explain to them that you remember going to a store to buy it new :( lol.

[@theprtillierypodcast]

Hell of a comeback by Sagat at about the 7:00 mark, lol

[@KindaCool]

If I ever do acquire a 3DO, I’ll be sure this title is in my collection!

[@r1l426]

Make sure to get Space Hulk too, it's a very good strategy game

[@mickmook1317]

I missed our on all the other console's that landed after the Sega mega drive. I remember seeing them however within computer magazines.

[@GetLostGames1]

I wanted a 3do for this game. Luckily , they released it on pc with a white genesis controller. The PC version was excellent and you could even put the game into your cd player and listen to the ost!

[@camulodunon]

How was the ost?

[@maxxdahl6062]

@@camulodunon Even better than the 3DO's.

[@AnthonyRiddle]

The gaming magazines back in the 90s had proclaimed that SSF2T 3DO was arcade perfect

[@thaR3N]

The 3DO SSF2 ost is Godly

[@YTOW85]

I used to want SSF2T so bad just because they added a super meter to the older characters from the past Street Fighters lol

[@Fla5thgenTryMe]

Growing up we thought SF2 on snes was arcade perfect or damn near.

[@AmbientMess]

You certainly weren't wrong at least in your eyes. As long as the core gameplay remained largely intact back then you weren't obsessed with how well the game looked visually or even performed as long as it was a solid representation in its own right

[@soloM81]

lol you thought that not me i use to play at the arcade i thought the snes version was crap as a kid growing up

[@sabishiihito]

@@soloM81 I don't see how anyone that played the arcade version for more than one time couldn't tell the differences.

[@entertainmentwizard2703]

This is an impressive port! I heard the Saturn and Dreamcast versions don't sound as good as the 3DO version and that is surprising!

[@e.s.geasystreetgaming1367]

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo X on the 3DO was the best home version ever made.

[@sabishiihito]

The Dreamcast version is the best true port of SSF2X. Not counting versions that are emulated like 30th Anniversary.

[@juanschwartz929]

I remember when Akuma appeared to me. I had no idea what had happened. I sat there and fought him 97 times before I beat him.

[@ryankambri3590]

My teen life playing SSF2T with 3DO Goldstar with only 1 hour game time allowed...

[@Grail_Quest]

Niice! 3DO will always be my favorite system! Loved this then, love it now. Give us some more 3DO goodness!!

[@Larry]

0:57 Ghouls n Ghost. Just the one ghost in the genesis version :'P

[@TanukiDigital]

SSF2Turbo had the best music of the whole series. I would play this religiously at the local arcade which had a large-screen sit-down version with surround speakers. Man it was awesome.

[@CleetusVanDamme530]

That delay when the music picks up is very noticeable. Looks and sounds great otherwise.

[@perlichtman1562]

Definitely noticeable and probably jarring to a modern listener - but I can tell you that at the time, playing it as a pre-teen, the sliver of silence felt like everything fell away and the adrenaline surged as I braced myself for “the real battle” to begin. Sort of like the way that many action movies of earlier eras would drop out all sound to emphasize a dramatic line or moment before bringing the music back in more powerful than before.

[@jaymzx2587]

Great video, thanks for this! 3DO never appeared on my radar (other than in the emulation scene). Great to hear it from your perspective; an owner of the hardware during the time of release.

[@Not-Great-at-Gaming]

Find the way noble challenger. Find the Way of the Warrior. I'm not Herbert I'm not Herbert...

[@plowking813]

wong ba da

[@jojojoma3026]

Oh, no, no one should have to play that game, even if it is Naughty Dog's first. "SWAN DIVE!!!"

[@miketodo6776]

I bought my 3do in 95 and it had so many amazing games .My favorites Wing Commander 3 , Star control 2 and Myst and ofc the best version of street fighter

[@Suhadisgood]

I got the Panasonic 3D0 console I no longer play on it if you like street fighter games you should go on Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox one PS2 PS3 PS4 arcade 1 up the only street fighter I’m interested in playing is street fighter 6 that capcom hasn’t released yet
