Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle
Coasting entirely on WACKY MANGA STUFF, this 1993 SNES Fighter was largely only ever seen in magazine ads in the US, and was never worth the trouble of tracking down to play anyway. Makes no attempt at explaining any sort of backstory whatsoever, you are just fighting 8 people because the principal said the character would get some mediocre thing they want and then all the endings are just disappointment as it was all a pointless lie. No combos here, this is one of those spam your special moves to win kinda games because regular attacks are weak and useless. For some reason jump is a face button, but you can remap it. Mediocre and unbalanced combat, extremely short rounds, cute animations but the character models are a bit on the small side.




The Firemen
Having never made its way to America for some reason, The Firemen is a 1994 SNES Bullet Hell(but with flames). It is relatively short and not very much variety, level variation is non existant, just a bunch of flaming office building rooms with various traps and hazards, with small bits where you travel outside. All the bosses are just various giant flames, and the end sequence felt a bit lacking. Good for a quick run through but thats it.

I bought this from toys r us when I was a kid trying to chase that sf2 high and I liked it well enough to have fond memories of its music and colorful graphics

Was very surprised as an adult to find out the premise of the IP and how unrelentingly horny it was, but I probably should have been tipped off when the guy that took my SNES trade in at funco land practically came in his pants when he saw I had a copy

My girlfriend has a physical copy that was burnt from an ISO when the prototype leaked. But I've only actually seen it run on an actual PlayStation, not in emulation.

It's pretty much just a lovely game tho, there's nothing to really recommend it.

Exploration is ill-advised.
The Firemen, that takes me back. Apparently it got a sequel that never made it out of Japan. Some of the music is pretty catchy, I thought the whole concept and presentation was a bit novel. They clearly did their research, as the game goes into concepts like firedamp and smoke inhalation, and makes a point of how the building design is a OSHA nightmare that's turned it into a deathtrap. (and they get the original architect on the phone to tell him)

So objectively, you're right, Ranma 1/2 Hard battle is a bad game and no one should ever play it.

But you're talking about fighting games on the SNES. The SNES had ~80 fighting games, and every single one sucked rear end (yes, even super street fighter 2 /mortal kombat / killer instinct.) It's easily a top 20 fighting game by SNES standards, but something was wrong with your brain if you liked those kinds of games back then because they were all bad.

I heard there's a Sailor Moon one that's surprisingly good. Probably still only by those standards.

On another note: most Game Boy games are really, really bad. Though I think it was definitely a case of the shovelware problem, since Game Boy games were probably relatively easy and cheap to develop and being put out for an extremely good-selling platform popular with young children whose parents didn't give a poo poo about quality.

Did Street fighter suck rear end by virtue of being a poor port, or by virtue of being Street fighter?

e; Port, not poet.

I got forcibly introduced to the singer one night and pretended to like them/didn't call them out for being a sad gang of four ripoff for the hour or so I was around him because I thought it would be less awkward, and he was a dick who seemed really mad that he was stuck hanging around 2 dudes instead of a swathe of women. Now people barely remember his dumb band rip.

It’s definitely a shovelware problem. The Gameboy had just an obscene amount of games released on it that would not be matched until the PS1&2 (two systems also famous for gargantuan amounts of shovelware) More than a thousand in fact.
