Can't believe no-ones mentioned the Sega Ages PS2 remake! Comes with the original saturn version, a new version with better graphics and extra game modes (golden axe, altered beast cameos as well)
Segata Sanshiro Cameo in the last video. This game is still quite cheap to pick up.

I only played on this the evening I got it a few months ago and I got to the last boss so it seemed pretty easy to me. I didn't even know you could get extra credits so that is doing it on the default settings.
Enjoyed the game though, you don't really get games like this anymore.

Wow, you can play as Segata Sanshiro? I need that game.
After reading this post I decided to play this game last night. I have the Pal version but I played it on my new Japanese Saturn using the action replay and the game was in Japanese! Pretty strange or does this happen a lot with games on the Saturn?

After reading this post I decided to play this game last night. I have the Pal version but I played it on my new Japanese Saturn using the action replay and the game was in Japanese! Pretty strange or does this happen a lot with games on the Saturn? HEY MATTBLAH... I actually posted this in response to a similar point a copule of days ago, in this thread, but it was the last post of the previous page, so you probably missed it: "INTERESTINGLY... or, erm, not... as may be the case, IF... you have a region switch AND an Action Replay (multi-region cart) plugged in you can run Dynamite Deka, in 60Hz, while set at PAL region with the AR running the game for you (phew!).
"This actually (and I've only ever noticed in this game) lets you see the QTE's in English as opposed to Japanese! Same happens if you run DHArcade on JAP Region with an AR (thus changing QTE's to Japanese!)... although the optimisation removes the bottom of the screen @60hz
"Sooo... yeah. Now you know"AND, NO... to my knowledge, the differing bios settings do not affect the language in any other game 'I' have played, although, I too, would be keen to learn IF there are any others!?

It is a very interesting fact although I think guessing in the QTE is fun You can save some money this ways when you buy the japanese version that you can get for almost nothing. But atm I am curious to play the PS2 version...

The thing I hate about brawlers are their limited moves and things to do. No matter how good the graphics, how many extra characters or crappy modes, it can't hide how limited they it all is.
This became pretty obvious by the time Dynamite Cop 2 (Die Hard Arcade 2) was released for the Dreamcast. It had extra modes, separate paths, and lord knows how many weapons, but you still didn't want to have more than two games before you put it on the shelf and didn't touch it until several years later.
This is why Guardian Heroes is the only Brawler I care to play now. Multiple paths, some funny dialog, a whole lot of moves and strategy, and upgradable options.

[(p.s. I hope that makes a small slither of actual sense?) Yes it does make sense. A similar thing happens with the Saturn version of Soukyugurentai, as well as the STV arcade version of Soukyugurentai too.

Wow, I'm definitely intrigued by this! So... what do you have to 'do' and what are the side effects? I've never really bothered to play my JP titles using whilst set to PAL region (with the AR in the cart slot of course )

Got the chance to get Die Hard Arcade (PAL) for 18 GBP. Should i go for it or should i take the JPN version of Die Hard Arcade. I'm not sure in fact of it's just 50 Hz setting in the PAL Version

I got the game for £5 back in 09, but having a look through what it's going for now. Anything below £20 would probably be considered a good deal. The big advantage of playing the PAL version is that the quick time cutscenes are easier, but the whole 50/60Hz issue is purely down to your own preference.

Well it depends where you are from t0bs. ARe you from North America or PAL regions? If you are in the States then pay the extra $ and get NTSC copy, why play at 50hz? linkt is probably right about the quick times being easier with any US version.
I know its more obvious to the UKers and PALers on this board but I personally have never witnessed the difference between 50hz and 60hz before. Ive been told by alot of gamers that its a big difference especially with games that have borderline slowdown or fighting games. I have no way of knowing myself. Either version you get you are getting an amazing game.

Honestly? I can't really tell the difference either. Sometimes, in rare circumstances I'll notice 60hz is a little smoother. Most of the time I can't tell the difference at all. I just choose 60hz all the time because I know deep down in my hear that it's better.

If you play 50/60Hz all the time, then you'll become accustomed to it. In much the same way as using or not using inverted controls. However, after switching you'll become accustomed to it after a while. Of course, nowadays with PAL60 mode, playing at 50Hz is a relic of the past. The difference is fairly noticeable in this game. You only have to look at the two videos below PAL Versionwww.youtube.com/watch?v=mF3pMZzISJ4NTSC Versionwww.youtube.com/watch?v=rUGVt1Zr2-s

Oh wow its night and day. Although a fairer comparison would be side by side in person. Youtube has all kinds of factors going against it like compression. However it seems the PAL version has alot of slowdown, even almost some ghosting. But Ill admit it looks like a poor quality upload as well. Kind of disappointing because DHA is one of the smoothest best looking arcade conversions on the system to me. To have it running less quality than it should is a crime
