I'll take the 800x600!! Something is better than nothing!! I'm very grateful!!
i wish they'd re-release Samurai Shodown Fencing Pack for the PSX.Lyte Edge:
Actually, IIRC, SS3 came first, then SS4, then the SS "Fencing Pack," which was SS1 and SS2 together. SS3 was an abyssmal port; the PSX version is a disgrace and a scar on all 2D fighters. I can't believe someone in this thread actually liked it. :::shudder:::
SS4 is a much better port compared to SS3. In fact, I think that it's an overall better port than the Saturn version! Called "Amakusa's Revenge Special," this version added Cham Cham into the game, but unfortunately, she's only playable in versus mode, and her sprites are directly from SS2. While there are more frames missing compared to the SS version, the reason I think the PSX version is better is because it plays very smoothly; the SS version is plagued with slow down and was a major disappointment to me compared to the SS SS3 port.
KOF aside, IMO the majority of Neo Geo ports to the PSX after 1997 all turned out pretty well, with Real Bout Special: Dominated Mind being the best of them all.

"Well, pardon my ignorance, but I thought Samurai Shodown 4 wasn't released on the PSX. Even import. I've got the Saturn ports (damned great, mind ya), but I thought that the first 2 SSes made it to the PSX, then number 3 on its own."
