Quick Look: Sega Model 2 Fighting Fun!

I love the old AM2 fighting games! Let's hope the ports are good!

Bring on Fighters Megamix!

I bought a Saturn literally a month ago because I wasn't expecting those gamesto be released anywehere else, and now this. Teerrific. Ohh well, I still have fighter's Megamix and Donpachi!

This is cool.

What is this?

Is the audio unusually low for anyone else?

Huh...

6 minutes to S-Rank Sonic The Fighters last night.

Yeah, the audio is low :/

Zots ARE delicious!!!!

I'm not the only one that loves the graphics on Fighting Vipers, right? It looks straight-up bizarre and I really dig it.

I bought a Saturn over a Ps1 solely for Fighting vipers, and its likely my biggest regret on a console purchase. It did have some great games for it though, and many more that took me over a decade to discover.

Do share, I'm trying to fix a Saturn collection but it seems most cool games for it have better sequels or are craaazy expensive (Panzer Dragoon Saga). But yeah, tips on what's great for the saturn would be appreciated.

Didn't one of the 'Street Fighter II' compilations/upgrades include the feature Jeff's talking about where the picture fills the full 16x9 but the two fighters are constrained to a 4x3 area? I seem to remember being able to have Chun Li bounce off invisible walls like a mad woman.

I feel stupid..

Because of the Quick Look title I thought this was some sort of collection. Then 10 minutes after the quick look started they reveal they're looking at different games.

The sounds for sonic fighters are god awful.

@Cozmicaztaway: Haha, me too. But whatever, I've been getting a lot of weird import games for it that I'm extremely sure will never be released on XBLA like this.

Vinny's mixing the audio way low again.

Well, I'll be...

I really hope they do end up releasing fighters megamix with online support and stuff.

Is Bean the Dynamite not a character from Dynamite Düx?

Yeah, gotta turn my speakers way up!

Sonic's pupil looks like it's trying to escape from his horrible face during the win pose.

oh model 2....sigh...

Jeff doesn't use Sarah's flash kick enough.

Bean the Dynamite is from sega classic Dynamite Dux btw.

edit: beaten

I never knew that there was a Sonic fighting game. Weird.

I've seen this posted before and I just am not getting it. I'm at 14% volume and it's perfect.

Man, Fighting Vipers. Such baaaad character designs. Seriously, this could compete with Killer Instinct and Tattoo Assassins for worst fighting game characters.

I love the cymbal hits in Fighting Vipers.

I was going to say yes, Bean is apart of the Dynamite Dux. Fang is a Weasel.

CONGRATULATION

@SexVicar: Oh yeah, I'm not saying Fighting Vipers is anywhere as awful as Killer Instinct, just the designs. Goddamn "Raxel".

Sonic the Fighters feels like a bootleg game. Doctor Robotonic. 8 Chaos Emeralds. Amy Rosy the Rascal (whatever that means).

Retro Quick Looks are the best Quick Looks.

Sonic's no fighter, he's a runner!

I'm just going to parrot what other people have said. The audio is way too low. My laptop speakers are awful, but this is a lot worse than normal.

Fighting vipers was the first polygonal game that looked good enough that I didn't hate the direction that game visuals were heading

I couldn't get it to come out! Any time you see me randomly jump back and kick in this Quick Look, that was me trying to do it.

so much memories - I never played fighting vipers but just released, the breakeable arenas and such - hey from fighters megamix!

if they would release that - would make so happy

dumb question, but are these actually the games that were released for the arcades , or PC versions that were released later on

Jeff's fighting game quick looks are my favorite and I know dick about fighting games.

@MindChamber: these were actually on arcade machines yes.

Ryan, the duck is from the classic Sega game Dynamite Dux, so he certainly have a legitimate place in the game since they had to find some cameos for Sonic to play with ^_^

@Phatmac: there are two

I prefer sonic battle for the gba

Played and beat Sonic last night - was actually pretty awesome to play. It's crazy-town for sure, but it's a $5 ticket to crazy-town... so why not.

Always good to hear a timely Bone Thugz N Harmony reference. Tha Crossroads is a classic!

Man, those animations in Virtua Fighter 2 still look pretty impressive and smooth. It would have been nice to see Fighters Megamix released as well. Thats an oddity I've been wanting to check out for years now.

Also, that Sonic fighting game is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. Kind of weird that the series seems to take itself so seriously now.

I had never heard of this SOnic Fighting game that inital thought sounded awesome. This was not looking so awesome.

Bean the Dynamite

The backgrounds for Fighting Vipers are ridiculous.
