Message: [QUOTE="Zachery2112, post: 63303, member: 214443"] I'm surprised no one has mentioned the absolute beauty that is the SEGA Master System port of Street Fighter II. [ATTACH type="full" width="229px" alt="1738641170618.png"]21290[/ATTACH] It's technically called Street Fighter II'. The apostrophe is often pronounced [I]DASH[/I] but no one calls it that or knows why its there. My best guess is that it is meant to reference the full title of Street Fighter II': Champion Edition even though it is not a port of that game. It is official. At least in the sense that TEC TOY, the developer, had the rights to publish Master System games. However, every source I can find states that they never got the approval of SEGA. They got the license from CAPCOM after giving a demo of the game that they said was running on the Mega Drive. After revealing at the end of the presentation that it was actually running on the Master System, the CAPCOM heads were impressed so they sold them the rights. It only released in Brazil, TECTOY's homeland. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1738642970813.png"]21306[/ATTACH] The Master System has only two face buttons so the majority of inputs do not exist. Characters only have two moves. Its roster is a unique selection of a few of the characters from Champion Edition. All art is taken from the first version of Street Fighter II but for some reason the select screen art is based off of The New Challengers. What ever art wasn't stolen was a TECTOY original masterpiece. It doesn't have a proper two-player mode. Instead, it has a single-player mode with three difficulty settings. There is technically a way to play against another person since pressing a button on the second controller during single-player starts a challenge. If the second player wins they continue the single-player mode as the character they selected. To put this into perspective, the first Street Fighter had no selectable characters and yet it still had a dedicated two-player mode. [ATTACH type="full" width="255px" alt="1738643552584.png"]21311[/ATTACH] There are no character specific endings to the game and the credits are just taken from The New Challengers with the developers of this port tacked on to the end. Also, according to [URL='https://segaretro.org/Street_Fighter_II%27']SEGARETRO[/URL], this game took about half a year to make and about 1-2 months was just TECTOY ripping the sprites from the Mega Drive versions of Street Fighter with an emulator. In general, it is kind of impressive that it runs as well as it does. I've played around with it a little and think that it is definitely worth more as a novelty instead of a quality port. [/QUOTE]
