Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this game some time ago.
Any rom yet?

Looks like a casual as fuck fighting game.

Looks like it uses sex to sell. Not a good sign.

I hope it never gets dumped.

Nice job impersonating the average 16 year old poster. Should've just gone the distance and called it a "Dad Game," though.

If you're not playing competitively what's the point of a fighting game? They should have made a beat'em up instead.

People complaining about framerates probably didn't played a snes fighting game back in the 90's. This is what a snes fighting game is supposed to run. With a few exceptions like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and some Snk ports, most of the fighting games was like this and we had fun playing it anyway. I think this game looks great and I can't wait to put my hands on one of these cartridges.

>>3828242
so why not develop it for neogeo... or saturn / ps1 / dc. why snes

>>3828057
>>3828064
This looks terrible. Literally the on ly reason it's noteworthy is it's a new SFC game, but it would be an easily-dismissed game if it were released in the 90s.

That's really the case with most homebrew games in general. Look at this shit people actually paid up to $50 for it.

Nothing wrong with fanservice, but for games that rely on it so strongly (see: Senran Kagura, DoA Extreme) the fanservice tends to be the only thing going for them (the gameplay sucks).

>>3828057
>for your faggoty western FGC.
And the japanese FGC isn't any different so I don't know what's so faggoty about it. They do play some older games more regularly though like Vsav.

One thing that doesn't help this game is being on the SFC. Look at how slow and bland it is.

>>3828242
>This is what a snes fighting game is supposed to run.
Yeah that's the issue here. It wasn't a good console for the genre.

>>3827921
This was mentioned some time ago here. It's a game by former SNK employees. It seems like an OK-ish fighter, better than your usual doujin I guess.
But SNES is not the greatest choice for a fighting game really, especially for inexperienced devs. I'm not sure anyone could approach the level of Gundam Wing, as it was pretty much the peak of SNES fighters without special chips, released late in system's life cycle.
The character designs are pretty lame though, IMO… That werewolf screams Jon Tolbain.

16 bit fighting games on non motorola cpu's are futile. Furthermore this game looks pathetic.

Not a terribly good conversion to be honest, aside for pseudo-3d arenas. The sprites are again choppy and look like poorly drawn SF2 clone. Honestly, I expected way better

> SFIICE
Pretty much on the same level as SNES, as most assets came from SNES version. Doesn't really prove much, as Capcom didn't try very hard with this one

There's a kickstarter for the NTSC version.

The development team is made up of designers and programmers from the King of Fighters and Samurai Showdown series amongst others.

The Genesis was decent for fighters if you had a 6 button pad, but really both 16 bit systems weren't quite enough to really make fighters shine. This game OP posted looks like a total waste of development time. It reeks of a game that was never going to be stellar so they shoved it onto old hardware in the hopes that nostalgia will cover up it's mediocrity.

32X development is no fun.

That's the thing SF2 isn't a console fighter. Just like Doom isn't a console FPS.

Endless Duel was amazing and on SNES, and it's predecessor, Power Rangers Fighting Edition was also pretty nice.

Anyway, I don't get the hate for this new game. Sure it could be better on the Neo Geo, it could also be better on a modern PC, but the point is that the SNES, a /vr/ console, is getting a new fighting game, and although it doesn't look as good as Natsume stuff like Endless Duel, it still looks decent enough. I mean, if you're going to complain about graphics on /vr/, I don't see the point on being here to begin with, this board is for enthusiast of old systems and games, including old graphics. Has anyone actually played it or some demo yet?

>>3829707
Mainly because of the multiple CPUs. It's not like modern multi-threaded programming, either. It's up to the developer to make them work. Also, it's one of the first consoles to actually have a framebuffer, but it's kind of weird and primitive. Documentation is also kind of sketchy.

I'm not like a pro-32X dev so I don't know all the details, but there's a reason there's so little homebrew for it and what is out there is little more than demos.

Smooth framerate, but meh animations with lack of frames and pathetically limited palette. Try harder

I have. I liked it personally, but I don't think I can make any kind of frame of reference without getting another cart, seeing as my old one got lost in a move.

>>3830250
Preeeeeeety sure he was asking about Unholy Night. It's safe to assume if you're a fan of: Gundam, fighting games, rad SNES games, or any combination of the 3 you've played Endless Duel

>>3830268
Oh well, my fault then.
Also, dunno if I'd say I'm a fan of fighting games, but they are fun to piddle around on. I was always more into Sega, though. Ecco was a huge pull for me.

>>3829994
That was dyslexia rearing it's ugly butt.

>>3829747
Endless Duel is great for a SNES fighter, but it's not great overall. It would run better on literally any system and fighters are one of those games that totally rely on smooth gameplay so it's gimped from the get go.

Putting on SNES is purely a gimmick and it's a bad gimmick. If they wanted to make a SNES game they could at least do something the system actually did well.

>>3827921
ROM DUMP WHEN?

>>3830268
If you're a fan of Gundam Wing, sure. If you're an actual Gundam fan you'd have avoided that shit like the plague it is and played SRW like any normal Tomino cocksucker.

>>3831205
>It would run better on literally any system and fighters are one of those games that totally rely on smooth gameplay so it's gimped from the get go.
The frame rate of the game is just your average SNES tier, but the sprites are very well drawn. Like look at >>3829747 , see that sparkle on the left Gundam when it shoots? The palettes, the shading—everything's pretty top notch in the game. IIRC It also uses the transparency for lasers and stuff like that.
To say it's "gimped" is a bit of a stretch. Sure it's not CPS2 or Neo-Geo, but for 4th gen it does a pretty darn good job, IMO. And it actually feels really tight, the hitbox/collision detection is excellent and never did I feel the game was clunky or experienced slowdown.
That said, I totally agree that SNES is an awful choice for making a fighter today, just like Genesis, let alone anything before it.

>The frame rate of the game is just your average SNES tier
Which is why it's not really worth playing anymore, along with every other fighter on the system. It's one thing dealing with it when it was a game from that time and they were dealing with the limitations they had. But now making a fighting game with those limitations is just completely pointless.

You can disagree, and more power to you if you find it fun but watching a video of it running was plenty for me to know I had no interest in it.

>>3831258
>Which is why it's not really worth playing anymore
Well I pretty much agree. After all it's an anime fighter, the balance in it is far from perfect, with one obvious infinite too. You'd be way better off playing other airdashers.
But if we're talking about 4th gen only, I think it's one of the best-looking and and at the same time most advanced games of that console era.
Other SNES fighters aged even worse though, all those SF2WW wannabes specifically.

>>3831267
>But if we're talking about 4th gen only, I think it's one of the best-looking and and at the same time most advanced games of that console era.

Is that this thing or Gundam Wing you're talking about there?

Anyways as I pretty much said, I never thought 16 bit systems were really powerful enough to do justice to fighters in the first place. And though there are a ton of old games I love, I almost never see the point in making a new game on one of the old systems. It always feels like using the inherent limitations as a crutch to me.

>>3831284
Gundam Wing of course. Ranma is a cute comfy fighter, but doesn't hold a candle to Endless Duel, which is pretty much Darkstalkers clone with its own features. That's one thing I miss from modern fighters though, those cute backgrounds and characters.

>>3831301
Endless Duel is as good as they come and very impressive for an SNES game but I don't think it holds up very well. Fighters are an odd genre though since many of the retro ones like platformers and shmups have largely died out, fighters have kept going and in my opinion been steadily getting better and better. 16 bit ones just can't hold a candle... for me anyways.
