Super Street Fighter II

Cammy. And a killer opening animation.

Gameplay

Same game as before although you can't pick a speed

3 / 5

Level Design

Tons of modes. The usual story and versus modes plus a couple of different types of Tournaments for parties plus a time challenge mode for speedrunners. I couldn't care less about any of these but someone probably enjoyed them.

5 / 5

Theme

Presentation is kicked up a notch with a demo reel that shows dossiers of each fighter and the best home menu animation of all time.

4 / 5

Art Style

Wow Cammy is 100% fan service. Somebody get that girl a pair of shorts.
I feel like they traded resolution on the sprites for more frames of animation. The art just doesn't look as clean as the original game.

2 / 5

Audio

The sound takes yet another step back. The music lacks any bass which makes it sound tinny and hollow. The sounds got way worse as well. The thumping hits are replaced by what sounds like crumpling a paper bag. Oh and the voices are absolutely atrocious. Poor Guile's "sonic boom" sounds like a total nerd. Even the composition of the tracks has been altered to be less interesting than the first game. Just lame y'all

Hey gamers. I first published this blog in July 2024. That initial release included my thoughts about every game that was released in North America during the 16-bit era.  At the time I was underway with the second, and final, phase of this project - to play and review every 16-bit title playable by an English speaker, regardless of region. As of right now, that goal has been reached. What lies before you is a heap of reviews for every game I could play on the following consoles: Super Nintendo/Super Famicom (1204 total) North America (716) Japan (450) Europe/PAL (38)  Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (849) North America (704) Japan (94) Europe/PAL (51) Sega CD/Mega Drive CD (158) North America (141) Japan (12) Europe/PAL (5) TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine (255) North America (95) Japan (160) TurboGrafx-16 CD/PC Engine CD (163) North America (44) Japan (119) ...

Super Hydlide for Genesis

Review #4565 Super Hydlide Easily the worst game of the 16 bit era Genesis 1990 Seismic Adventure Adventure › Overhead X 2 / 100 You've been warned Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 0 / 5 Gameplay Zelda clone... in theory. Includes an unbelievably annoying weight system, limiting both what you can carry and what your character can use as a weapon. If you’re overloaded, you are unable to move. After buying a few things at the weapons shop I thought the game was broken. I had to Google it and read about this weight mechanic. So stupid. It makes the game nigh unplayable. Even with a minimal inventory of a knife, a helm, and two food rations I could barely walk. The game has a clock and calendar and it took me 12 game hours to walk from the Shop to the exit to attempt combat. By that...

Review #109 Chrono Trigger Only by mastering time itself do you stand a chance against Lavos. SNES 1995 Square RPG RPG › Japanese A 100 / 100 Classic Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 5 / 5 Gameplay Battle system is special. There's an optional Active Battle System and an innovative Single and Team techniques system. No grinding necessary. An assortment of sidequests and minigames like the actions you take at the Millennial Fair which influence how the trial plays out. One thing that I greatly appreciate is that you are never alone in a one-character party. You are joined by 3 other playable characters within the first hour of play. Being able to switch your party members on the fly is also a welcome quality of life feature. No random battles. The Game+ feature! What an awes...
