Its about time. Too bad they're not cheaper though. Hopefully the games will have the option of fm or psg sound.

Who wants to bet it'll be PSG only?

[guyjin]

WOOT!

[CrackTiger]

Who wants to bet it'll be PSG only?

It'll probably be PSG only here and any games that supported fm will be fm only in Japan.

[Joe Redifer]

Oops.  Wrong forum!  This shouldn't be in the VC forum.  Moving to whatever that one forum is where we discuss other consoles 'n stuff... Console Chat.

[guyjin]

almost a month later, and still no SMS? what's the deal?

[Kitsunexus]

I can't wait for VC Doom.

[nat]

Doom was ported to the SMS? No way.

fuck, I'd be suprised if the Brazilians hadn't at least tried it.

It is that's odd it's related to the vc oh well what ever 

[Turbo D]

apparently that forum is only for the tg-16/pce virtual console

Damn that is so bias ! I better write a letter to my congressman and demand a recount

It is the basis of what???

Hey man, I agree!  However I don't really think we need a dedicated forum to TG/PCE Virtual Console.  I should write up my consolidated, cleaner forum listing once I straighten it out in my head.

Also, write a letter to your Senator as well.  Might make things go quicker.

Fixed i ment bias as in ment there so anti about any non-TG16 vc talk  

[nat]

Well, these are the PCEngineFX forums, after all. God forbid we have an area dedicated to the Turbo/PCE on the Virtual Console.

Although I won't argue that the general PCE/Turbo areas should be merged.

Ah, ok I get ya.


As for the topic of the VC TG-16 forum, the only thread of importance is Virtual Console TG-16 Game List. Why can't we just mirror sticky (right) said thread in both the TG-16 and PC-Engine Discussion and get rid of the VC forum?

All the other threads are just rehashes of "Y SO BLURRY LOL" and "HAI GUYZ DO YOU WANT TO SEE DRACULA X ON VC", and that shit is perfectly at home in Console Chat.

As for bias comment i was kidding still to me if the,VC thread was more then about then just TG16 dicussion.Then there be some thing more to talk about then.

Such as the news regarding release for the snes,genesis and neogeo etc.

Guess i feel it would lead to more less confusion then.

Not to mention what happens when hudson runs out of "TG16 games" to emulate.

Yeah i can see that thread realy lasting then.

Just my 2 cents 

[Joe Redifer]

Kits actually has a great idea for once!     I like it.  There's not enough VC action to warrant an entire forum of it's own.  A sticky thread would be great.

I moved another thread out of that section (TG-16 VC forum) as well and was going to move more, but they were all locked and didn't feel it'd be worth it.

Maybe they put Tonka in charge of the U.S. releases.

[MotoRoaderMike]

Awesome! I hope they bring the SMS version of the first Sonic game there!

[TR0N]

Awesome! I hope they bring the SMS version of the first Sonic game there!

Uhh why the genesis version is enough i take phantasy star over the sms sonic.

[MotoRoaderMike]

Because SMS Sonic is a good game.

[Joe Redifer]

Yes, and it stands on it's own with unique stages.  It's not just a port of the Genesis version.  It also has music by Yuzo Koshiro (true).

[TR0N]

Yay well dunno i think there's enough version of sonic all ready.

Still i take a zillon on the vc as well.

[Joe Redifer]

Just as long as theres an option to switch the jump and action buttons around.  I hate jumping with button 1 and shooting with button 2.  That's the only thing that bothers me about playing those early SMS games on a real system.  I should probably take a spare controller and swap the button signals around.

[guyjin]

I know that people say there's a 'right' way and a 'wrong' way to have the jump/fire buttons, but I never notice; I just adapt to what the game uses.

However, it becomes more important when you get 3 or more action buttons...

[VestCunt]

Awesome! I hope they bring the SMS version of the first Sonic game there!

Are the SMS Sonic games all the same as the Game Gear versions?

[Keranu]

Yes.

[Joe Redifer]

Yes, with more screen area/resolution.

[MotoRoaderMike]

Really? So THAT'S the Sonic game he worked on! Awesome! I like it more now.

[KungFuKid]

It'll probably be PSG only here and any games that supported fm will be fm only in Japan.

Shouldn't be too difficult for them to use FM music. Most SMS games released in North America and Europe actually had FM on the Rom, it was the consoles that didn't support the sound even though it was there. There was a thread a year or two on another forum that listed the games that had FM music hidden on them, and links to emulated versions of the games with the better quality sound.

As you say though, it'll likely only be PSG since they'll just bundle the games on to disc....

[CrackTiger]

So far Phantasy Star is the only game I've found that had the FM sound support taken out.

[OldRover]

What's so great about FM sound anyways? We used it on the Commodore 64 and it was tough as nails to properly produce anything decent; PSG chips make it much easier to produce better-sounding music.

[guyjin]

From the clips I've heard of SMS R-type, the FM module really makes it sound like a Genesis.

one of the members here posted the clip, can't remember who.

R-Type is one of the best examples of SMS fm though... from what I've had a chance to play so far...

I like the music better than the arcade version.

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah... but to be quite honest, it doesn't take much to beat the arcade version's sound.  I like the PSG version better as well.

[CrackTiger]

Its just cool to have an alternate soundtrack in games. Like the option of PSG tunes in Dragon Slayer.

[CrackTiger]

Looks like Wonderboy and Fantasy Zone are first up and they're only 400 points.

http://www.gamingbits.com/content/view/3736/2/

Since both games didn't support fm audio, we won't yet know if it'll be available in future games.

Any guesses on how they'll attempt to censor Wonderboy's island "natives", or "Chibi Crow's" as they named in the Mark III manual?

[guyjin]

YES! about fucking time. $4 is very nice. I'd have paid $6, or 8 for Phantasy Star.

As for wonderboy... it shouldn't be too hard to recolor, right?

[Mobius]

Oh wow, only $4... Nice!

[CrackTiger]

YES! about fucking time. $4 is very nice. I'd have paid $6, or 8 for Phantasy Star.

As for wonderboy... it shouldn't be too hard to recolor, right?

I'm guessing that it'll also be altered/redrawn. Maybe as an animal, like the running fox/wolf or something.

[nat]

I don't get it. What are you guys talking about?

[Joe Redifer]

Must be some sort of in-joke.  As an SMS gamer, I sure as hell don't get it.

[OceanBlueKirby]

Perhaps can a screenshot be shown of the Chibi Crows from Wonderboy here? That way, there can be more of a proper understanding of this, and I'm curious to know what they look like, too .

[Keranu]

I don't know what they are referring to either, but I sense stereotypical black people (think DeeJay from SF2 or Lucky from KoF ).

[guyjin]

tried to google some screenshots, but couldn't find much.

[CrackTiger]

If people get offended by Loco Roco and Nintendo or whoever has decided to censor things like "Star of David" symbols, then I can't see anyway that they'd Wonderboy get released with an enemy character like this-




And although it shouldn't really be any more offensive, from what I've seen in American news over the years, the hero/main character makes it worse.
