What the hell happened? I told my friend there was something wrong because it was taking to long for this series to come out!
They tried to cram to much game onto to little disk. They didn't do that with the Fatal Fury Series and those two collections are great!.
Problems:
You know in the display options you can either have the screen soft or normal, well that's not an option, you get soft and the whole game looks out of focus.
In the color edit you used to be able to hit a button and see what part of the character would be affected by the color change. But now you have to change the color to see what changes. You wouldn't think that's a big deal but I have never seen a color edit that wouldn't let you see what areas were affected.
Loading. The interface has a a quarter second delay while using the menus, it really messes with you. The in game controls seems to be OOK, but it makes for pain in the ass navigation.
It also seems that cut out as much as the could to save memory. In the Fatal Fury games you had all the options in the games that the Carts had. Now you can't change languages at all in the game. I guess the reason it took so long to get this game out is they decided to cram those games onto one disk and it shows they were having problems.
The games themselves despite the looks handle fine. But believe me that soft filter makes you think there is something wrong with your TV.
But the Button config almost makes you forget all the poor production, especially in Sam Sho 1 and 2. To have a Hard slash button and not have to hit 2 buttons is the sweetest fruit.
I do like that Earthquake just sits at the character selection screen in Samurai 1 just like the original cart version. That would have upset me if they changed that.
Get this only if you have no alternative to play these games.
I will have my revenge. I mean my Saturn version Samurai 3 and 4 is better than this monstrosity.
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
