What's your favourite platform for Shmups?

What do you want me to do, post videos? Why don’t you try playing the games yourself?

He has. He's asking for pictures/video/ real world comparisons. You are being very vague and "from what I've seen" you do massive amounts of drugs, pretty sure your perception is a little skewered.

And for the record, the psikyo collections on switch have input lag. This was confirmed by me with joy cons/pro controllers and wired controllers.

Maybe I gave you too much credit.

I assumed you may have known what you were talking about and I wanted to learn something new. Sorry!

When it comes to arcade ports, from what I understand, the only criteria that's crucial in achieving "arcade perfect" status is based on mechanics, speed, difficulty level and AI behavior mirroring the arcade game. Not color palette, sound etc.

Well that’s a bummer. Glad I didn’t waste my money.

of course a game isnt arcade perfect if the colors and sound and animations are slightly different. You could say the saturn is “almost perfect”

And if you don't like Sengoku Blade, it doesn't matter

I’ve always had the same viewpoint as ASID said, to me arcade perfect is arcade perfect gameplay. Many/most ports get arranged soundtracks etc so I’ve never thought of the music or color palette being a consideration. Unless it had some sort of effect on the gameplay, like making bullets harder to see or something.

PS2 for ESPGaluda, some other ports, and some choice PS1 games.

That's about all I need.

The 360 is on it's way to classic status with Mushihimesama Futari, Death Smiles, Ketsui, not to mention Ikaruga and RSG.

I still hold this opinion nearly 9 years later but I would include the PC Engine and PCE CD.

I don't know, they were never taken out of the plastic.

I had one with Alyssa Milano on it. Gifted it to ladyfriend who had the hots for her.

And for those wanting to know: They're very comfortable, distracting but comfy.

+1 on both points. “Arcade perfect” always boiled down to replicated gameplay mechanics, timing, framerate, AI routines and of course generally anything that had an impact on scoring and attempted arcade-play replication imho.

It’s why the dreamcast release of Street Fighter 3: Third Strike came up short among enthusiasts due to Capcom choosing to fix certain glitches and adjust move properties. Although it was a great port, the changed move properties meant that the game was not “arcade perfect” since the combos from the cps3 original could no longer be performed in the “improved” home release.

I also agree, with one addition, though: Arcade games often undergo several revisions, some may imply sensible changes. If a port is based on one revision, players used to an earlier/later version can still feel it's not "arcade perfect". Also, couldn't a port be regarded as just another revision? Maybe arcade perfection is best expressed in levels, with the highest being the Neo .

I remember an interview with M2 about their PS2 port of Space Harrier. Some players complained that they can't go as far with their avatar as they were used to in the arcade cabinet. After a thorough research, the M2 team found out, that due to extensive use, the sticks of the cabinet became loose, hence allowed those players to reach beyond the range set by the designers.

 

[Shmuppy]

Best shmupping consoles IMO are PCE(CD), MD, Saturn, DC and the 360 for its excellent Cave ports. Favourite platform? JAMMA PCBs the real Masta Race Since the Neo is not well known for shmups I have to give props b/c of Pulstar (no discussion needed) and ASOII which I find is a very original/unique SNK game with next to nothing "borrowed" from other shooters with an outstanding OST showing off how rich the YM2610 can sound.

 

[Massive Urethra Chode]

My favorite platform for shmups may be the NEO•GEO just because i’m a video system / sonic wings fanboi

 

[Shmuppy]

Most Video System shmups are so short which is a shame. Gunbird2 with double the amount of stages would have been wonderful. My fav V-System shmup is Rabbit Punch/Rabio Lepus from 1987. Nobody knows about this hidden gem with really really good graphics and art design. Probably the first cute 'em up ever.
