September 4 - September 10: Street Fighter II'
---------------------------------------------------------------------

(chosen by Nec.game.head, who also took pics and wrote a nice blurb. Thanks!)

My first impression when playing this game was wow, a very close to an Arcade acurrate port !! Timing speed and hit detection are all spot on compared to the original Arcade version. I especially really enjoyed the sound effects, character designs and beautiful colored backgrounds of the game. The only drawback to me was the background music in each level wasn't as good sounding as the actual sound effects each character makes. This version definitely outperforms it's 16 bit competition rival version's the Sega Mega Drive and the Super Famicom. One other thing that should be known is if you are going to want to try this game out sometime you will definitely need to get your hands on a Avenue Pad 6 as this is a six button game and if your really looking to get the most out of this game I strongly recommend getting a controller multitap and a secondary Avenue Pad 6 to enjoy this fantastic game with a friend. This is my go to game I pull out and show off to my friends after we've played the actual Arcade version of Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition at my place to show off the amazing power of the mighty PC Engine !! If you have not tried out out this game I definitely recommend this game if you are a fan of great 2D fighter games !!

I have this game, but my brother is the one who loves this genre, not me. He plays it.

However, since some of you are SF fans, you might like this stuff (it's about the promotion and marketing of SFII' PCE, which was released on... 06.12.1993...

I always loved the music in this port, but some people say otherwise.

I always loved the music in this port, but some people say otherwise.

It has the best composition/music of the 16-bit console ports. If anyone prefers signature sounds from other consoles, that's separate from the actual music. I love most of the instrument sounds of the MD version, but the soundtrack is randomly unbalanced and some parts are poorly "performed". The SNES remix isn't as good overall composition-wise compared to the PCE and arcade versions, but it also features some unfortunate sounds (like the farting).

Playing SFII' at home with friends months (an eternity at the time) before it hit other consoles and playing it on my Express during road trips was one of the high points of gaming in my life.

I'm looking forward to trying out my raffle copy!  I am going to have to get some avenue pad sixes and a tap to get the most out of it though.

[Nec.Game.head]

Enjoying your guy's honest opinion's from my little blurb. Thanks dudes and now I return back to some more STF2 CE action !!

I'm interested in Week 17, I'm gonna say Dragon Slayer for my post if that is ok.

[SamIAm]

I'm interested in Week 17, I'm gonna say Dragon Slayer for my post if that is ok.

I would love to...but I think we're going to have a problem with the length of that one. It's apparently a 10+ hour game. I think that within the span of a week, most people are stretching just to get in a solid couple of hours for GOTW. That's why I put "Please don't submit games that have a high language barrier or will take too long to complete (particularly RPGs)." in the rules list.

Would you like to submit a different game?

BUT, what I think would be cool is some separate thread for playing RPG's together and commenting. I've been wanting to play Dragon Slayer, as well as a few others. Black Tiger mentioned something like that in the other non-pce GotW thread.

I'd be down to play Dragon Slayer with ya!

[Duo_R]

Yeah makes total sense, yes just need to think of a different title.

Played for a little while last night, but the audio buzz during screen transitions was giving me a headache.  Anyone else have this problem?

The PCE got Street Fighter II' — Champion Edition on June 12, 1993.

This was the UPDATED version of SFII.

Famicom got a port of the ORIGINAL SFII on June 10, 1993 (SNES was only a month later...July 15, 1993).

So, PCE was a step ahead.

MegaDrive/Genesis got SFII' in autumn...

Didn't the original SFII come out in 1992 on the SNES? And Turbo in 1993 (which would relate to CE more directly than WW)?

Edit:

Re-reading it I see what you mean, Turbo came out a month after the PCE version of CE. Regardless, the PCE version came first

Yes, World Warrior came out stateside in summer 1992.
