Street Fighter TurboGrafx-CD/PC Engine ports.

Fighting Street really isn't a very good game, I think I would rather play Black Belt on Master System or Last Battle on Genesis just because there is more to do than kick and punch one opponent at a time.

Champion Edition on the PCE is great, and now that I know the 3DO version of Super SF2 Turbo also has no parallax in the background it is even better for comparison. ;)

Eh, not to me. The PC-Engine version's voice samples seem even clearer than the original arcade's samples, whereas the SNES' samples are cut up, shortened, and sound a bit muffled.

The PC-Engine has the best SFX (including voices) out of any 16bit home console port. The SNES version only sounds better to those who play it via emulation with the sound quality boosted. Using mednafen for the PC Engine and bsnes for the SNES, both targeting accuracy, PCE wins by quite a bit.

Street Fighter II' on the PC Engine was a great port, although I do prefer the Mega Drive version of SFII': SCE over it. The PC Engine version looks great (in some cases, the color palette is better than the Mega Drive version) although the sound quality, at least for the sound effects, seems to be lacking a bit. The voices sound more clear than the voices in the Mega Drive port, although they aren't quite up to par with the SNES version of SFIIT: HF. The game play is great and the control is very responsive.

The color (palette) of the PC Engine version is vastly better than the Mega Drive version. It's in some cases better or worse than the Super Famicom version.

The voices and samples of the PC Engine version are actually much better (unaltered) clips and are reproduced clearer than the butchered, sped-up and muffled Super Famicom samples-






The Mega Drive version uses the same superior sound clips, but are reproduced at a noticeably lower quality.

Fighting Street is a great port of a horrible game. Shoryuken is impossible to pull off.

As for SFII' CE, it's a pretty good port of the game, but not better than the Genesis version

The 64 colors just don't hold up in SG version.
