Post weird /vr/ ports
>>11499754Sonic... on a NINTENDO console??
>>11499839best version too
>>11499754The obvious one
>>11499839Sega needed some fast cash after the Dreamcast went tits up
The very last Genesis game, as late as 1998, was just a port of Frogger
>>11499754What's so weird about it?
>>11500420Not OP, but I own itIt was coded by chinese guys and has different physics and controls than the Saturn original
based gba
>let's port a random 1979 space shooter arcade game to Super Famicom in 1995
suikoden for windows
>>11499754
how about a bizarre port that didn't happen and casted the game into oblivion for 16 years
>>11500593Duke Nukem GBA is not a port
>>11500776SOUL!
>>11500593That Wolf 3D port is so badIt was made by 2 people
>>11500795Fun fact, the OST of this was made by Shogo Sakai, who would later make the Mother 3 OST
>>11500548Its annoying that the PS2 port was used as the base for the PS3, 360 and PC versions which never controlled right.
>>11500795This will surely boost Saturn sales!
>>11499754IDK if it's a "weird" port, but Sega Ages Dynamite Deka is very interesting, perhaps teetering on weird.This is perhaps the earliest game to employ a "retro graphics" option. You can choose to play with the new graphics, or the original Saturn graphics. It isn't on the fly, but the first game I can think of that did this in the west was Halo: Anniversary Edition on 360. If this is the first game to do that, then it's an interesting footnote.If anyone knows an earlier example than this, let me know.
>>11501004Panzer Dragoon, which I think came right after Dynamite Deka, also had the retro graphics option.Nights does too, I believe Nights was originally meant to be part of the Sega Ages series but then decided to make it a stand alone release, I think due to releasing a special edition with a reprint of a hard cover book from the Saturn days.
>>11501037Neat, I never played the Sega Ages version of this but that's above and beyond to add in the Saturn graphics especially because these were budget games. I forget these were released really late into the PS2's life though (2006) so Saturn nostalgia would have been a thing by then and be a selling point.
>>11500839have you listened to the games soundtrack they found in the games code? It is just awful and half of it sounds like high pitched farts and beeps. So bad they just removed it and you're left with a shitty port of wolf 3d and silence besides occasional German nonsense.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD8a7Ukjc_Y
>>11500116>PS2 and Dreamcast got Half-life portsSomehow xbox getting a half-life edition is rareCare to explain anon?
>>11500593Doom II port was even more weird.
>>11500829nothing weird with this.In 1994-2003 people played this in Europe in daily baises your mental illness about arcade perfect converation didn't exited until SOTN became good in 2007.
>>11500127this one is very interestingthe genesis version is literally a barebones straight portthe snes version is a very ugly and bland looking remake
minesweeper for turbografxwith a whole bunch of extra modes
>>11500593these would be neat but the awful framerates wear you down.
>>11500796Fine by me
>>11500776Based UI, I'd love to play this version
>>11500127>tire right about to bulldoze frogger's ass
>>11501237that's Half-Life 2, Anon.
ps1 getting ports of gba games
>>11501957
this one just felt like one of those brazillian gta sa mods but on the original mercenaries engine
>>11500839>>11501139The first time I played wolf3d was on this port and I beat it on there and thought it was pretty good. Even looking back it was fine for what it was even if it's inferior to basically every other port.
>>11500776god this ui looks comfy as fuck.
>crashes your audio quality with no survivorsalso it has its own unique glitches that werent present in the originals. what the fuck happened here?
Altered Beast for Famicom
>>11499754Doom. Sure, it's common place for us internet nerds, but doom being ported to everything plus the kitchen sink is a strange thing. Not as strange as the dutch eating the dodo to extinction, but strange enough I say.
>>11501957it got two sequels more.>>11501983I don't find it weird. If psone outsould some of 6thgen consoles, then PS2 outsold some 7thgen consoles. PS2 got good games after 2007.
>>11501964Bewbs
>>11500786>Advance engine >ISN'T actually made by Dimps>NONE of the original engineers behind the first 4 classic titles oversaw thisThis was a grand recipe of disaster, if only i knew how shitty was the port was when i was a kid.
Shenmue II on Xbox. They should have ported Shenmue I and II to GameCube.
>>11502967We certainly needed a 4-disc GameCube game.
>>11502981I'd like it just for the novelty, maybe even sell it as a complete set and have 7-8 discs in 1 package, that would be interesting to see.
>>11501241can you rephrase this in english?
deus ex on the ps double
>>11501237It's hl2, and just barely runs.
>>11502981How many discs do you think Shenmue has on Dreamcast?
>>11501241esl
Doukyuusei 2 on Super Famicom is mind boggling on many levels. Also while looking for picrel I discovered that elf made a strip mahjong game for the Game Boy Color, except instead of the girls taking their clothes off when you win, they dress in lascivious cosplay instead. Not a port of anything in particular, but I would feel remiss not to mention it.
>>11499839Only weird thing about it was people consistently calling it SA2 Battle instead of simply saying SA2.
>>11502836There's now a Neo Geo port of arcade Shinobi.
>>11503952Because Nintenyearolds make up the current bulk of the Sonic fanbase and the Gamecube version was their introduction to Sonic.
>>11501237https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdBM0ldx0Q0
>>11501983>>11502761>then PS2 outsold some 7thgen consoles. PS2 got good games after 2007.This, plus after '06 or so the PS2 along with the Wii became the dedicated budget port machine. See Sonic Unleashed or the countless PSP ports.
>>11502457its purpose was to give us mother 3
>>11501237Biggest game on PC, xbox ran basically windows, you do the math
>>11500982Porting a Saturn game to PC sounds like a real nightmare.
>>11501004>>11501037Ive been wanting to import a ps2 just to try out all these budget games and ports like the ages series. Maybe 2025 will be the year i finally do it.
>>11499754Granted, Evolution isn't a complicated RPG to begin with, but you don't see too 3D RPGs converted to 2D. It being on the Neo Geo Pocket Color is icing on the cake.I kinda wish Evolution 2 got a similar port.And speaking of Evo 2, that got a Taiwanese (?) port for PC that barely anyone knows about.
And this is the version I played the most.
>>11504772Based console warrior
>>11501237It's not uncommon>Halo BTFO the PC FPS market>Valve panics and decides to port HL2 to XBOXI don't know how far this panic was but I believe that XBOX was responsible for the downgrades in HL2. Compared to the Big Budget releases of the time HL2 is a rethread of the PC trends of the time, despite its “next gen features” it feels like last gen compared to other PC releases of its time.
>>11501004Virtua Fighter 4 on consoles did this
>>11501004Metroid Zero Mission had the original Metroid as an unlockable extra
little known factridge racer 64 has a secret port of galaga 88
>>11505708doubt it desuif so, valve would've tried to put half life 2 on ps2 like they ported half life with graphical/gameplay extras
>>11505769Sony had no response. HALO was the sixth generation FPS that outsold everyone.
>released after the N64 already launched, a system completely devoid of any good arcade fighter ports
>>11505782>>11505708What is this fanfic?
>>11502495That art looks like some low quality TMNT wannabe cartoon.
>>11506317Don't forget the PC version of R. Kinda goes for all the SEGA pc ports, like Daytona, Touring Car Championship, Bug, Billy Hatcher, Sonic Heroes, etc.Also I own pic related too.
>>11505708The fuck you blabbering about?
>>11501004>This is perhaps the earliest game to employ a "retro graphics" optionI'm pretty sure SNES space invaders had a retro graphics option
>>11506209Always wondered why they did 2 instead of 1.
>>11506294It's a bit of a Head Canon but Valve has started releasing games simultaneously for consoles. And even the CSS console port became Global Offensive which was a console exclusive
>>11506454Nah, that's full headcanon
>>11506209MK3?
>>115064482 made 1 obsolete fairly shortly after 1.
>>11506454Console market has always been larger than the PC market, and even then, Valve barely dabbled in bringing their games to consoles past Portal 2.
Virtua Racing on Mega Drive is peak 16kino segaludo.Virtua Fighter 2 on MD also good.
>>11500980And a couple Kirby games
>>11505371Just emulate. They're on cdr iirc
What the weirdest game that was ported to Nintendo switch?
>>11508675It's funny seeing this game get new ports pretty consistently since the early 90s
>>11508695Seriously why does this have so many ports? It's the definition of quantity over quality.
>>11508695Jokes aside, this is actual game preservation in action: rights holders doing everything to keep their old game in circulation for modern platforms.Now if only they gave a shit about James Pond 1 or 3.
>>11509621I find it pretty sad that out of all the games you'd think would be worthy of being ported officially like that, we're stuck with James Pond 2 being that game.
>>11506861>no money for nothing on the soundtrack
>>115064481 was on the gbc
>>11500116Never knew classic Xbox had this until it became a plot point in Interloper, insane they even bothered to try
>>11510474>became a plot point in InterloperWhat do you mean?
>>11510487TLDR; Interloper is a Source horror series about a guy finding a weird console command in the engine that ends up spiraling out of control into a massive rabbit hole mystery that's too complicated to explain. At one point the protag gets stonewalled by Plot(tm) in his investigation until he decides to start fucking around with bugs in the Xbox port to see if he can replicate things happening to him in the PC version
>>11506317JUST
>>11506209Nintendo had nothing to do with it.Crapcom had nothing to do with it.Crapcom outsourced it to some other company who managed to create a miracle out of the shitty limitations of the snes and create this.Yes it has a lot of problems but the heart of the game is actually there.Sfz2 is also being ported to the MD by a single guy
>>11501241nig what the fuck is you saying
>>11499887Only compared to the ports.
>>11500829>biggest arcade titles by capcom>ported to most popular consoleThat's not weird you zoomer. They were shit ports, but the practice of releasing them wasn't out of the ordinary.
>>11510613Ohhh, yeah I completely forgot about that. I remember watching the first vid a while back. Took me a lot longer to figure out it wasn't real than I'd like to admit. Didn't know it was a series, I'll give it a go.
>>11503952>>11504772It's slightly different from the original.
>>115064481 was essentially a beta release that also ended up being a cheapie cps-1 game for operators who couldn't afford cps-2 boards
>>11512842The CPS1 SFZ was for that failed console they tried to do. The one game released for both systems was the first Megaman arcade
DOS port of the SNES port of Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengersfor some reason it was released AFTER the DOS port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo
Old DOS / home PC ports of Japanese console games are interesting
>>11501004When did those monkey island special editions come out on 360? 2007ish? You could switch on the fly in them.
>>11501139To be fair the originals on PC adlib sounded like a dog farting most of the time and that's being generous
>>11501004>This is perhaps the earliest game to employ a "retro graphics" option. You can choose to play with the new graphics, or the original Saturn graphics. It isn't on the fly, but the first game I can think of that did this in the west was Halo: Anniversary Edition on 360mario all-stars on the snes
>>11513075Usually really bad though. DOS, C64 and Amiga Castlevanias are so bad, the AVGN is preparing a special high budget episode about it (it's supposed to tarnish the Amiga reputation forever)
>>11513737There are no graphics options in Mario All Stars to use the NES visuals, I think you're misunderstanding his post.
>>11503948Dragon Knight 3 also got the same smut-free SNES port by Banpresto, too. And speaking of GBC, there's picrel.
>>11499754All of them
Gunvari Collection + Time Crisis, a compilation of PS1 ports of the Point Blank trilogy and Time Crisis 1 that was only released in Japan. In return for that, Japan didn't get the Crisis Zone port.
>>11506345>baku baku
>>11506317Literally had this right on a shelf on my desk.How the fuck is the cart alone worth more than the Saturn Version? It's a piece of shit port that runs at about 3fps!
>>11510362>>11509621James Pond 1 wasn't great but James Pond 3 was a pretty solid platformer.Aquatic games was also really good.
>>11502495There are other Sega games ported to Famicom like Alien Syndrome and Space Harrierthat's the Tengen version but iirc they were published by Sega in Japan
Aladdin on NESI don't even of all time
>>11505714Oh no, it didn't.VF4 has a 10th Anniversary mode that plays like VF4 but with moon jumps and graphics similar to the first VF, but it's not the original Virtua Fighter with a modern graphics option.
