I like Toshinden 2. VF is easier I think.

How do you like Evercade in general? I'm waiting for my Street Fighter Evercade Alpha to arrive, but don't know anything about Evercade otherwise.

Eh, it's ok. I bought it for the Duke Nukem 1 & 2 remasters, and for that I am happy with the purchase. But overall, you're buying something to pretend you're collecting for. It's retarded. If all you care about is boxes and licensing, there is plenty to love. But in my opinion, you're still playing emulation - you're just paying money for it.
That said, I have a handful of carts of some Genesis homebrews, etc. that would cost me $$$ if I bought them for Genesis, and I don't play Steam on my TV - so it works out. But it's a goobtarded system. But if you need more shit on your shelf? Might be a win. Easy to get sealed games for it too

Appreciate the insight. I looked through their list of cartridges and didn't see anything that interested me. But I guess it's cool that the Street Fighter thing does work with the cartridges. I'll keep my eyes pealed on their upcoming releases.

Never heard of any of those games.
The Evercade Alpha is a bartop with a built in arcade stick, so I'm covered on that front. How is 8BitDo in general? Never used any of their products.

I would skip the Saturn port of MK2 and stick with the excellent PS3 port and/or the still excellent SNES port if you want to play on console. The Saturn port looks the part, but is missing a bunch of sound effects and has some shit load times. Of course Sheng Sung breaks all CD versions of these games with frequent in-battle loads.
That said, the SNES port of MK2 is still my preferred way to play this game, even over the arcade original. It was, and I think still is, one of the most competent 16-bit arcade ports from the 90's.

Yeah, the run button was maybe the worst addition they ever made to the series... besides then making a bunch of even shittier 3d games.

I lost interest in the series after the first game.
The gimmick was always the OTT violence, I never felt it gained popularity because it was a genuine competitor to Street Fighter II, it just gained notoriety for the "finishing" moves.
Once you've seen one character have his spine ripped out Predator style, you've seen it all, really.
Never saw the appeal beyond that, as the gameplay mechanics are trash.
