"Arcade Perfect"

[DarkSavior]

Hilariously, when I first played Virtua Fighter on the Saturn I 'remembered' it as being arcade perfect but now if I play it I realise how ridiculous that is Flickering into nothingness replays are brilliant! Still love the game though

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Killer Instinct. The SNES port was damn close to the arcade, surprisingly so in fact given the difference in hardware, and although I can't remember for sure I'm fairly certain the N64 port should have been 'arcade perfect' as it was developed for the N64 hardware, amirite?

Not a great game admittedly but one that will always be remembered for those C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER moments

The Snes port was miles off the Arcade in terms of graphics , In fact I never thought the Snes version looked that hot .
KI inthe arcades was never using N64 hardware that was bullsh8t from NCL, The N64 port was pretty close though, with at the time amazing graphics . I have the Mame version on my X-Box and have to say that the Arcade versions still looks pretty impressive.

"Arcade perfect" ports only really became a reality with the advent of the Dreamcast.

I think the Neo Geo beat the DC to it , and to be fair there were a lot of perfect ports to the Saturn , more so with the Capcom fighters

[Kongster]

For 2D games, yeah.

[Skull Commander]

I'd agree with the dreamcast being the first machine for regular arcade perfect ports. Even today a lot of the ports stand head and shoulders above other systems, even if they are not based on games running on the naiomi board.
Obviously neo geo is arcade perfect but they are not ports, as they are the same as the arcade.

Now I think about it, the PC Engine was probably the first machine which had versions I really couldn't tell apart. New Zealand Story

The Speccy version of NZS is nearer to the arcade original than the PC Engine one. NZS on the PC Engine is dire...

How I loved the Ultra64 logo on the arcade machine

Gawd do i remember this!
Esp when it came to Double dragon on the SMS and then Stryder on the Megadrive..

but lets face it Dreamcast is the only perfect port overs.

[MikeRox]

Dreamcast is effectively an arcade cabinet crammed into a little box though and I love it for it, infact main appeal of the Dreamcast was the arcade perfect home ports.

I still generally prefer arcade games for alot of genres to much deeper but less perfect designed 20+ hour adventure games etc.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo X on 3DO. It was actually arcade perfect. The SNES SF2 claimed to be and it was close enough to keep me happy but 3do had the power to do the real deal. Shame the pad was retarded.

It was close, but was missing frames and some of the paralax layers in the background

And feet in the grass, amirite?

The Saturn version of OutRun is very, very close to the arcade game. I'm sure there are minute graphical differences, but the timing is perfect. I can switch between the two without having to adapt my driving in the least (except for the controls, of course).
