hi /vr/;
just wondering - were any games ported straight FROM the super nintendo TO windows or DOS?
pic is the closest example i could find; there were a few examples of SNES games being ported to PSX, but outside of "best of" collections and things, i can't think of a single SNES title that was ported straight to the PC.

There would be no reason to, due to emulation. Back when SNES games were still being sold PCs had a hard enough time running the games. It would have been a lot of R&D to get smooth decent framerates on a port of a SNES game and the potential of sales wouldn't have been high enough to justify it since people were already starting to emulate and PC has always been prone to piracy.

There were Megaman X1 and X2 ports on MSDOS in China, I think.

MMX1 came out on PC in Europe too. Not sure about the rest.

MMX3 had a PC version too, but contrary to X1 it seems to be a port of the PS1/Saturn version (CD music, fmv cutscenes)
>>
Be aware, MMX on PC sucks.
>>
Not off the top of my head but there were a few Genesis/Sega CD games ported to PC

Isn't the Sega CD version generally considered the best?
>>

Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers is literally what you're asking for, it's a straight port of the SNES version to DOS

And it runs like hot monkey ass.

I suppose if you count the SNES and CD's as ports.
