PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.

[ceti alpha]

The SNES version seems to have only had additional colours added to the NES port, while the PCE version looks to have been completely overhauled, yet in keeping with the original.

I threw on the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden the other day, and man, it doesn't play well at all. I haven't played the PCE NG, but I can only assume it's better than the arcade.

Here are the Ninja Gaiden shots all matched up-

Congrats on the minimum effort they put into the SNES one.

Does the PCE version scroll choppy?

The screen scrolls normal, but sections of the bgs that scroll independantly using animated tiles look choppy. I don't know if it's bad timing, syncing, staggering or what, but it's more of a negative distraction than an improvement.

Many people see the PCE version, some even posting videos on youtube and say that it's basically identical to the NES version, except that it has a little bit more color and some scrolling in the bgs. The SNES version is closer to what many dismiss the PCE graphics as.

Congrats on the minimum effort they put into the SNES one.

At least they included all three games.

I forget, how was the music in the SNES collection?

[Joe Redifer]

They redid the music completely.

[ccovell]

But the SNES music is still pretty shitty.  A very, very minimal effort from Tecmo.

[Tom]

Yeah, the new musics on the SNES trilogy cart is total shit. It pissed me off. a$$holes!

[blueraven]

Wow. The PCE version is incredibly badass. 

And agreed; the trilogy SNES game has horrible music. I amazed it sells for as much as it does on eBay.

You should do a comparison between Bonk 3 & Super Bonk, alot of area's have similar gfx, but, he colors are darker on Super Bonk.

Could have done a better job of matching the shots up but i got tired of playing.

the sfc genjin looks so pale. no good. so no good.

I didn't realize that Super Bonk's giant Bonk was so tiny. Does the game support 2 player play? Aside from the size, I don't like how he was redrawn.

I've always wanted a Turbo Bonk with a fully shaded sprite, which Super Bonk actually does. But the colors make him look so gross. I also hoped with each Turbo sequal, that the bgs would have more shading, but for the most part the didn't make it work very well in Super Bonk. If ever there was a Turbo series that looks best in vibrant colors, it's Bonk.

I'm pretty sure its only one player, i didn't see a two player option. Not only is the sprite larger as you can see but  it also has more frames for the walking animation.


I was looking for a game with a military theme for each system and came up with these two, 1941 and sonic wings, i keep neglecting the Genesis.

That's a cool comparison. I'm guessing that screenshot-wise, a side-by-side of the arcade versions would be pretty similar.
