Thanks!
I'm glad I got the second first with a random deal that I stumbled upon. If I enjoyed the first and knew that I wanted the second, I'd be so disappointed seeing how much it goes for.

Played and completed Final Fight 3 on normal with fellow gaffer Roboleon today. Looked and sounded great, but the gameplay was a bit too shallow, even for a beatemup. Especially considering this was basically the first time I tried out the game, and we beat it at the first try, not even having to discover some of the finer details of the game, like how the Super worked. Still enjoyably as a two-player game though, since the pretty shallow nature of it let us catch up and talk a bit as well as play. But compared to greater games in the genre, it was nothing special unfortunately, and definitely not deserving its price tag.
I really enjoyed it myself. I think it's pretty cool to have a cpu partner if you can't find someone to play it with you. I also liked that there were alternate paths through the levels. I agree it wasn't all that difficult, but I also enjoy games that aren't sometimes. I like to just veg out and feel bad ass even when I'm not

I guess I didnt comment on those two features since I didnt really use them, being my first time through and all. Definitely agree they are both cool though, and makes me want to replay it with alternate routes.
On the other hand, I progressed through the second dungeon in Wanderers from Ys. Man this game is brutal. Have anybody played it before? Just beat the dragon, and while his move set wasnt that hard to pin down, it just took fucking forever to beat him with hom much damage he could take - which of course makes it hard to keep up concentration and thus avoid getting hit. I can see why not many people talk about this game in the same regard as Book 1&2.
Nice. Been looking to grab Super Turrican but usually priced beyond what I'm willing to go. Hoping I can snag it at some point!
Remembering why I originally put down Cybernator. Level 2 is a fricking nightmare. The first half where it auto scrolls you just eat damage because you can't use your shield, and the boss just smacks you with tons of asteroids which, again, can't be shielded and move through the environment. Ill keep crackin away at it but jeez.

Try upgrading the punch, and focus on evasion instead of on combat in the second level.
This is how I finished it years ago, it's easier than it looks. It's worth the effort as the game keeps getting better with every level.

nice X3!
You weren't kidding, the later levels are great. Followed your tips, beat the second, and sailed clean through to the 6th level. Stuck on that now, but I'll get through it.

i haven't took out my copy of cybernator. what happens?
Anything under 100 bucks.

You get a OP napalm cannon that kills everything in 1-2 hits. I actually used that on my run also. That helped a lot too, but i tried not to rely on it too much.

Finally i picked up Super Metroid, I never played it before, so It seems im lucky.
Nice! Super Metroid is one of those games I wish I could play again for the first time.

yeah, my experience with my Super Everdrive 2 has been great so far - i've got MMX 2 & 3, so i'm good! didn't get the DSP chip but i have Mario Kart & such, and FX games like Star Fox, Yoshi's Island, bum-ass Stunt Racer FX etc. for me, the biggest draw for an SD2SNES is the instant loading times i enjoy with my mega everdrive...the wait isn't too bad on this model, but if its longer i go get more whiskey, haha.
though some of the crazy stuff posted on here was neat, like orchestral sounding music in LTTP etc. honestly, i play a lot of SNES but i didn't see the $100 difference between the two like i did/do with the Mega ED & the lower model.
When I was buying flashcarts, I got the best ones I could, so there won't be any regrets later on should there be updates. I haven't regretted it one bit since some of the MSU-1 patches are friggin' awesome, like the Zelda LTTP and Super Metroid ones. Plus the automatic region patching makes things easier for me running a PAL SNES with a 50/60hz switch. And the Megaman X2/X3 + DSP-1 support. Instant loading times are a bonus.
It's convenience to the maximum, worth the one-time extra 100 € cost (which I would've ended up spending on something frivolous anyway)

Likewise, I haven't exactly regretted my SD2SNES purchase. Having said that though, I'd probably be happy with a Super Everdrive as well. It's not like I use the extra features of the SD2SNES all that often really. Though after having tried my friend's Super Everdrive, the load times were noticeable. Like wow I didn't know how good I had it with the SD2SNES in regards to that. But really, it's a minor inconvenience.
Did not know about the lack of region auto-patching on the ED though.

yeah, region-switching isn't an issue out here...me, i put that extra $100 towards the other everdrives i have (N64, N8, etc). again though, if the SD2 would've offered savestates or something extra like the Mega ED does, i'dve been all over it.
that said, Mega's savestates aren't perfect, and i still wanna try that Nanitek Game Saver one day. there's so many games i'd likely finish if i had more than 1 sitting with them, haha.

wait, post a pic - '91 teenage design can be fun, haha
i mean, all my everdrives just have a simple DOS looking OS, with the exception of the N64 one

It is era appropriate lol
Now that I look closely at it... I don't think it's that bad. It's just graffiti.
But yeah I'd go in a different direction, myself. SNES' core image isn't street. It's friendly early 90s Japanese edutainment. I want something that looks like the UI theme of Pilotwings or Mario Paint...

ugliest default flash cart UI has to be the GBA EZ Flash IV with some shit based off Star Wars Episode III

This it totally unrelated, but I was looking for a photo of that UI and I found this monstrosity of a UI. I'm not even sure what this is, I just needed to share this.

haha that's the one i have, yeah...need to sort out how to change that

Glad to see that you're enjoying it
Also make sure not to skip the laser weapon on the fifth level, upgrading it will help you a lot.
Today's arrival
Shame about the rip on the front, but it was pretty cheap so I'm not going to be too picky. I played the first level and I like it so far. Definitely seems more like my kind of shooter, not so hectic and crazy as others I've played/seen. Also it's super colourful which I love.

Ys III? Just grind. That's the solution to all problems in that game, grind some more. It's a short game, but yeah, I lost interest in it after a while too...
I've never been a Final Fight fan, so yeah, this is about right. Final Fight 3 is actually my favorite game in the series, because it has the best gameplay of the three by a good margin (that they added special moves, etc.), but it's hardly great. While I like beat 'em ups, and love games like TMNT beat 'em ups, Golden Axe, or Streets of Rage, I've never found the Final Fight games, or the similar Knights of the Round, to be as good. They're just kind of bland, with average gameplay and really boring level designs which are nearly exclusively straight left-to-right corridors. Final Fight 3 is a little better in this respect than its predecessors, but it's still weak level design-wise compared to most Sega beat 'em ups, or, to mention Capcom's best beat 'em ups, their two D&D games. I like beat 'em ups to be more creative with their levels than you see in the Final Fight and Knights of the Round games; the interesting levels is one of the reasons I love Golden Axe and TMNT III for example.
And yeah, while Capcom has some tougher beat 'em ups, Final Fights 2 and 3 are a bit on the easy side, that is true. It didn't take long for me to beat either of them, after getting them in the mid/late '00s. Still, they're alright games. If they were cheap, sure, I'd say go pick them up if you like the genre... but for the absolutely insane prices the third game goes for now, no way is it worth it. I'm really lucky to have found a super-cheap complete copy of the third game back in the mid '00s... otherwise I'd never own it.
Yeah, the space levels in the Assault Suits series are the hardest levels in those games for sure, and probably are the least fun stages too. You'd think a free-flight space level would be good, but instead they're less fun than the rest of the games...
They are very good games for the most part, but I'm not so sure about the space levels. Still, all three Assault Suits action games are great. (The other two are for Genesis and JP Saturn, of course.)

One of the best games ever for sure.
By the way this was successful, I don't know how many people here contributed to it(I did) but at the very least if you didn't I expect the ROM will be dumped sometime in not too distant future.

I also did.
I'm pretty sure the ROM was already dumped; how else could they be bug-fixing it?

Yes, Stealth was released on the Super Famicom in Japan only.
