I just acquired Beach Spikers but haven't tried it yet. plus I've never seen the NAOMI 2 arcade version except for screenshots and arcade flyers on the net. what are the main graphical differences between the two versions? I am guessing that the original N2 arcade version is better in a few areas (lighting probably?) and the newer GC version is better in some other areas. (textures maybe?)

I'd like as many opinions as possible

Well for a gc game it could have looked better. The game is good fun although not special. Mutliplayer mode is your best bet.

The arcade version is pretty much better in every respect. I can't think of any areas where the GameCube version looked better or even exactly the same.

The port's suppossed to be pretty close (closer than VF4/Evo or Initial D on PS2) but the Naomi 2 version has noticably better deformable sand.

I asked the question before in another thread about Sega arcade ports, and Mazorya thought it was pretty close with the main exception being lighting and textures. I've seen some blurry screenshots of the arcade game at System16, but you can't tell what the hell is going on in any kind of detail.

I played the arcade edition over the summer, and they both seemed as close as they could get.

 

[GigaDrive]

so arcade version has

*better deformable sand
*slightly/somewhat better lighting
*better textures

 

[doncale]

although it's blurry this is one of the better arcade screens i could find

They need to make a sequel to this game, but do it with real AVP players and the full tour. After the success of beach volleyball at the olympics, there's probably a lot of people that would be interested in such a game. Slap May & Walsh on the cover and you've got a hit.
