Super Turrican: Director's Cut

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/...r-nt-hardware/

Apparently the Super Nt SNES clone will include the uncut, 6mb version of Super Turrican.

I've always felt Super Turrican to be better than Mega Turrican, being closer to Turrican 2, but the abrupt ending ruined it.

I have no interest in the Super Nt but I can't wait for the game to be dumped.
Hopefully it will end up in a store where I can pay for it legally rather than nearly 200€ on a clone console.

The trailer in the article is the worst thing ever made unfortunately.

You weren't kidding about trailer being trash. Can't stand to watch more then 1/3 of it.

Love Super Turrican... but ugh, the trailer is horrible! :S

Nice to see new "Director's Cut" from old games :)

Holy hell, I thought you guys were exaggerating about the trailer, it really is next to unwatchable. WTF were they thinking? Just show me some normal game footage and tell me what's new.

I really can't understand the thought that went into that trailer. One of the best things about the game is the awesome music and they decided to put horribly glitch sounds instead. And the crazy transitions and screen glitch effects that make the game barely visible. How does that sell the game?

C'mon, it's just a trailer and cannot be that bad

Nope (emphasis mine):

Analogue announced today that its recently revealed FPGA-based Super Nt hardware would come packed with a new expanded and "uncut" version of Super NES run-and-gun classic Super Turrican embedded on every system.

Your only hope is that Ars made a mistake and actually meant "bundled".

Hopefully this is a good sign that Factor 5 actually is willing to allow a license-free generic version of Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures for Sega Genesis to eventually see the light of day.

That trailer is terrible, but it'll sell regardless. Collectors will buy this no matter how it's advertised.

I can't believe that some people are praising the aesthetics of the Super Nt. I can appreciate the technical aspects of the console but that design is bland and very cheap looking. The Analogue NT was the same: just a block of aluminum with a curve up top. Couldn't they come up with a more visually appealing design?

Alot of thought went into the look and feel of the Analogue CMVS (Slim) but in my opinion they lost their creativity after that.


P.S. Watching just 1 minute and 26 seconds of the Super Turrican trailer video gave me a bleeding headache!

Not an opinion shared by others, but I kinda like the creativity put into the video editing. It just doesn't serve as a proper trailer.

To be fair, people already know what Super Turrican is so probably a trailer wasn't even needed. I didn't even bother to watch it (and judging from the comments, I dodged a bullet =P)

The less said about that trailer the better.

While I have no interest whatsoever in the Super Nt, new games are always welcome. Hopefully they make a proper cartridge of it and don't make it playable only on their specific SNES clone or something.

Well if I had to pich between the snes classic and the super nt. I think the nt would be a better choice here.

+1 awful trailer, too edgy.

The music of the missing levels is what i'm interested in the most. It shares the same OST as Turican 3 and Mega Turrican (which is my favorite) and i preferred the SNES version but it was missing a couple of my favorite songs in later levels that were cut apparently.

This one in particular:

If their goal is to get people to get people talking, then the trailer is a success.

No mention about the new cart possibly setting your console on fire.. interesting...:p

Dat trailer. That was stoopid.

Also, biggest Super Turrican problem seems not fixed : player sprite is gets too close to screen border when moving, even worse when in ball.

Yeah, it's annoying. They fixed it in Super Turrican 2 but that game has its own share of problems.

I mean, the implication so far seems to be the game is embedded in the console itself rather than its own cartridge.

I love the Turrican series, so finally having the complete form of Super Turrican available in some way are excellent news, but I hope this will lead to the following things happening:

- An independent release of Super Turrican: Director's Cut to play the game on real hardware without needing that Super NT clone (more like we will have to wait for the ROM to be dumped to accomplish this).
- The long awaited release of the Mega Drive version of Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures and in untouched form.
- The release of a Mega Drive version of Super Turrican 2 rebranded as Mega Turrican 2... ok, this is very complicated because I doubt this was ever developed and therefore someone would have to work on it, but wishes are free, so... :p

I made a SNES remix of that and the Amiga version of the first part of the final stage (the bonus stage in Mega) with ripped Super Turrican instruments a few years ago. If they're in this it will be awesome.

I hope this gets dumped like Star Fox 2, but I have no idea about this thing's hardware.

[EDIT] I've uploaded them to YouTube.

Here's the Screw Nut Hall remix:

I watched a play through of Super Turrican last night. The gameplay doesn’t appeal to me all that much, but that music is fantastic.

I still think Jim Power is Huelsbeck's best work, main reason why I want Piko to release the full genesis Jim Power. I need to hear the final stage theme as YM2612 FM bliss.

Lovely trailer... NOT!

The clone is probably gonna sell like hotcakes, as diehard Turrican fans grow on trees in Germany.

why no one share the f rom???

I don't have the ROM to share, but here's a video of the differences.
The Director's Cut has an extra level, a slightly expanded level, more bugs and still doesn't have a machine fight.
Not really worth it.

By the video, looks like they did some final touches on the original version after they removed the content, and this Director version lacks them.
Hopefully someone with the two rooms will hack and release a more polished version removing these bugs.

It's more than just cut content, the director's cut isn't even a finished game since there's no machine fight, you know, the guy you are told is your enemy at the start of the game? I wonder if when they found out that the game had to be cut down they didn't even bother making a true last level.
