Opinions on these Saturn 2D fighters

[LoneSage]

Groove on Fight - 35.00
Marvel Super Heroes - 25.00
Waku Waku 7 box version w/ ram cart - 30.00

I'm about to buy these imports from a member here and I was just wondering what the general consensus on these 2D fighters are. All opinions are welcome.

Thanks,

Sage

Waku Waku 7 is one my favorites - quirky and fun with tight controls and a very interesting cast.

Marvel Super Heroes is good for mindless fun. Quick paced and flashy. There are lots of other similar Capcom titles out there that are a bit overlapping, but they're all fairly enjoyable.

Haven't really heard of the other one - you're on your own there.

Thanks for your opinions. I also bought Vampire Hunter (first DarkStalkers game in Japan?), KOF 95, KOF 97, Sam Sho 4, Galaxy Fight, and X-Men VS. Street Fighter a few days ago too. They haven't arrived yet, but I hope I like them all. The only one of them I've ever played was X-Men VS. Street Fighter, but that was literally ages ago.

Nothing like starting a Saturn collection with a 2D fightin' bang!

that's the second Darkstalkers game. the first one was simply titled "Vampire"

If you you have an open mind, and don't mind a surrealistic approach to VS. FIGHTING games then Groove On Fight for $35.00 isn't bad at all. I don't seem to remember in toto, but I believe that game also uses a RAM Cart, though I could be mistaken.

(Groove on Fight) Purchase
(Marvel Super Heros) Purchase a step above the PS1 port.
(Waku Waku 7) Skip unless you can't 'find it on Aes or MVS.

I believe the Saturn version of WW7 suffers from slowdown and choppy frame-rates.

Actually, pick up the domestic version of Marvel Superheroes for the Saturn. The Japanese version only uses 1 meg of RAM to make the game run smoother while the U.S. version uses 3 megs of RAM. Although even with 3 megs to get better animation and loading, there is some minor loading and the gameplay is a bit slower then the arcade version. Just make sure to pick up the domestic as it is one of the few domestic games superior to the import counterpart.

Waku Waku 7 on Saturn is absolutely terrible. Only pick it up if you want the soundtrack. Pick up Astra Superstars instead.

groove on fight - superb art and general presentation,so so sprites,meh animations on the saturn

i'd get it anyway because i'm a bit of a power instinct fanboy

first game to have tag in it,if i am not mistaken

 

[Ackula]

Waku Waku 7 is one of my fav games, but it does suffer from very bad slowdown, choppy animation and I believe smaller sprites than the Neo original. If you have no other way of playing it..go for it its still a fun game and will provide hours of enjoyment.

Marvel Superheroes is a decent Capcom game..if you like the Capcom vs Marvel or Street Fighter vs Xmen..then chances are you'll like it as well. It does have a pretty small roster of characters though.

The other one I have no idea on...never played or heard of it.

Did the first Darkstalkers game (Vampire) ever come out for Saturn, or any system for that matter?

Just the PS1 i'm afraid.

The Saturn only got the 2nd and 3rd Darkstalkers games.

Thats what I thought, and from what I can tell, the PS1 version is a little hard to come by and not even that good. Am I right?

I don't know ask around i guess.

I have one and compared to the arcade version, not too bad. Graphics and BGM are well done...HOWEVER the load time is a killer since it loads after each battle, after each ending statement and at the start of each battle

 

[gmfuss]

Sorry to take your thread off on a tangent, LoneSage. As for your questions, never hesitate to buy and Capcom fighters, you will not be let down. Total top notch ports from them. Waku Waku 7 is not a bad port, not quite Neo quality, but all Saturn-Neo ports are well done. And I have never played Groove on, so I can't really comment on that one.

 

[Tsubaki]

Samurai Shodown III is a good buy for your Saturn as it's a very accurate port.
Probably more so than part IV, then again I always preferred part III to IV anyway.

tsk tsk neo-phile

groove on fight is part of teh matrimelee family

infact its one of the power instinct games

</i think>

pretty good prices there btw

My personal recommendation:

Groove on Fight - A Great fighting game with an awesome cast of characters,might be a bit too light-hearted to some,but remains to be a very potent and interesting fighter,indeed. The loadtime,while it does take a tad longer than the average, isn't too bad,either.

BTW,is that Marvel Super Heroes or Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter?

That actually isn't true.

3 Megs on RAM simply indicates that the game uses the 2Mb of system RAM and supports the 1MB RAM cart 1+2=3

It's just Marvel Super Heroes.


Wow, thanks guys! I'm somewhat overwhelmed by the response, I didn't expect so much.

 

[Dancing Mad]

I am so looking for Street Fighter Zero/Alpha 3 for Saturn.

I heard it's way much better than the DC version.

Darkstalkers 3 isn't all that hard to come by. It suffers from animation cuts for surely. But once you start unlocking mode play and soundtrack options it more than makes up for cut animations.

 

[BIG]

It's just Marvel Super Heroes.

Grab the US version instead,since they go for about $5 or so...save yourself some money for imports!
