which one you think was the best SNK port for the saturn ?

my takes are

Real Bout Fatal Fury
Real Bout Special

too bad the loading times are on the long side ( but nothing like the PS versions those are awful)

Samurai Spirits Collection was nice but SSIV has a lot o slowdown

the K.O.F. games on the saturn weren't that good mainly because the lost animation

altough ports aren't as good as the mvs games they're still great to play and practice before you go to sleep and/or are too tired to be playing standed up on the cab <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

I often forget that Waku Waku 7 was made for the neogeo... It's hard to look at it on the saturn and say it's a port <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

well. any game for the saturn maybe a great
port while in play but the load times are
pretty much always there.
the only real draw against the sat. versions.

was well.... near perfect <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Hehehe, loading is no problem for Saturn WHP. Also really benefits from the Saturn having a six button layout, with WHP going the SFII route of three punches, three kicks.

So when I heard SNK vs. Capcom 2 was gonna have six buttons... and how the Neo Geo characters would be converted.... *sigh*

As for RBS and KOF 97... their loading isn't AS bad as some people have made it out to be. Coulda been better, but it's not that horrible.

If you want horrible, try the PSX Samurai Shodown Fencing Pack (SS1 and SS2 combo). I could take a dump and come back and that sumbitch still be loading. <IMG SRC="smilies/shame.gif" border="0">

Metal Slug
KoF 97 - Loads faster than on the CDZ. Plus I like the pics of Vice and Mature during loads. <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0">

I love that KOF'95... it is a better port than the other KOFs. While 95 is perfect, 96 has some bugs (including an edit team game crash), and 97 has some cuts. 97 screams "SNK should've used the 4 Meg RAM cart." <IMG SRC="smilies/shame.gif" border="0">

Real Bout Special is a very good port as well. It's like playing on CDZ- load times are around 15 sec.

I heard some people say KOF 97, are you on drugs? All the KOF and Samurai saturn games had HORRIBLE sound, it sounded like they were talking into a tin can. That IMO brings the game down very much.

Metal Slug was almost identical, and except for the slow down in Waku 7, it sounded the same. Samurai 4 is also good, but the crappy sound and slowdown bring that down, do the 14 hit chain combos on a neo, then on the Saturn version, it's like slow motion compared.

some of the ports to saturn were pretty good while some were satisfactory and drift king,if u think that kof 97 on saturn was bad wait until u see the psx version.worse than tin can sound,long loadings,frames of animations cut and crappy graphics and animations.the saturn version was better but still not a perfect port.

i totally agree with you devil

If SNK ports are not perfect in the saturn they're awful in the ps

SS4 the K.O.F. series they're all awful in the ps

not to mention my beloved one Real Bout that meanwhile in the Saturn version had aceptable loading times the ps version was a lot worse and they took out almost all the animation <IMG SRC="smilies/mad2.gif" border="0">
