Best voices on the Turbo and/or PCE?

[Black Tiger]

Pro Yakyuu Stadium has nice voices if you play the sound rip rom and hear the samples on their own. The music behind them doesn't blend well in-game.

TV Sports games have some decent voices, I know the football one is easiest to hear examples from.

I remember Power Sports/World Sports Competition having nice voice clips, but they are sporadic.

Oh hey, forgot about Jackie Chan! Or the laughter from Devil's Crush from the skull when you lose.

[Joe Redifer]

What is he saying in Jackie Chan? Doesn't he just scream in pain?

He makes karate (hiya!) noises that echo when you punch. Kind of a interesting sound effect really..

Street Fighter 2 springs to mind, obviously.  It sounds pretty accurate to the SNES version at least.  Strip Fighter 2 has a bit of spoken audio though I dunno if you'd want to use it for gamesack...

in fact it sounds even better than the muffled to max-reverbed snes version.

The PC Engine and Genesis versions use the same full length clips as the arcade version. The SNES versions use terrible cut-up and sped-up clips before straining them through the SNES hardware adds the muffling and reverb. Screams and destruction effects are also reduced to a short blip painfully echoed over and over. It's just because the first console port appeared on SNES and that most people were used to ports not featuring so much voice that blind nostalgia still leads them to believe that the SNES versions have great samples.

If you can find the voice sample track from that Street Fighter arcade CD soundtrack, it's eerie how close the arcade sounds to the PCE version in quality (separate from the clips being identical) and pretty shocking how much the SNES versions don't even sound like they're from the same game/source.

I learned about the voice samples in SFII than I thought I ever would.

So the arcade had the scratchy voices like Genesis and PCE?

World Class Baseball? lol

Yeah, talk about garbled speech...


You could barely understand anything said during World Class Baseball, but at least the background music was awesome...

[Joe Redifer]

I thought the only things World Class Baseball even says are SAFE and OUT-O!

Not sure about the us version, could be change

But based on my Chinese ethnicity, it appears that that Jackie chan states Cantonese ' ai ya' which is close to English ' oh no/ohh' in colloquial terms on the Japanese pc engine version

off the topic, in regards to swearing, the uk developed ps2 game " the getaway' has real ' uncensored' Cantonese swear words probably due to the mature ( us) or 18 rating of the game
