It was discussed months back that the probable reason for a different game was Nintendo securing the exclusive rights to Turtles in Time just like they probably also did with SF II Turbo and SF II SCE. Hyperstone Heist was never an arcade game, a wildly changed AND RE-TITLED semi-port does not make it an arcade game. The next time you attempt to insult someone try executing a bit of research on the topic being discussed before you make yourself appear to be ignorant.Oh gee, I must not have done any research considering I OWN Turtles in Time on the SNES and Hyperstone Heist in original catridge form AND the ONLY arcade port of Turtles in Time (unlockable in TMNT 3 for PS2/XBOX/?Gamecube?) sans original music and intro (which blows ass). The answer to your absurd accusation is simply “No”. Konami insulted fans of the arcade game and owners of the Genesis by releasing this pitiful adaptation. TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist was a renamed, rearranged and butchered port of the arcade game known as TMNT: Turtles in Time. I believe the graphics and sound were better as well, but you can't tell that from an emulator since its all a matter of graphics filters and sound emulation etc. Having sub par graphics for an arcade game or being released after its console debut doesn't automatically make it 'not an arcade game.' It was released in a certainly different form and placed in an arcade cabinet, making it an arcade game, end of story. They are just as alike and different as an AES is to an MVS game. Pre-set number of continues and variable lives Goes straight to intro, then to title screen, then goes to main menu, then character select You get 3 lives per credit, and credits are only taken at continues No options menu, you go straight to character selection after the title screen Starts on Mega Play screen, much like Neo Geo bios screen The Neo Geo arcade is almost always referred to as the MVS because its easier than typing 'SNK Neo Geo Max 330 Mega Pro-Gear Spec Arcade Unit'Īs the Edge pointed out and I already knew via having the MAME version of SORII, I can attest that they are just as different as AES to MVS games. Like on the Nintendo Playchoice10 you insert credits and are allotted a certain amount of time to play the NES game and it is exactly the same as the home cart, no improvements.What's that I smell? *sniff sniff* fanboy bullshit? yeah. Rusty is talking about games from home systems being brought to the arcade. Like on the Nintendo Playchoice10 you insert credits and are allotted a certain amount of time to play the NES game and it is exactly the same as the home cart, no improvements.

The terminology multi-game just means that you can select from a set of games on that cabinet. The NEO GEO is only called an MVS (Multi-Video System) in 2 slot cabinets or more. NEO GEO games were created for the MVS arcade system first and foremost and THEN ported to the AES console (with added features like training modes in fighters). There are no downsides to doing a retro level, so you should try and find them all.The what is the Neo Geo? Every game on the MVS is available on the AES (maybe that tapered off toward the end of the life of the AES), technically making it 'just a game in a multi-arcade machine.' Both the Megaplay and Playchoice-10 games are completely different chips and are improved over the console variants via better colors among other improvements (mostly better video).

If you fail the retro level, you’re transported back to the regular game with the same amount of health that you arrived. This can be tricky in certain spots as you either need to ensure the arcade box doesn’t break during a brawl with multiple enemies, or you need to save using a taser until after that brawl has ended.Īs a reward for completing the retro level, you’ll get extra points as well as a star for an extra Star Move. You’ll need to use a taser on an old-school arcade box somewhere in the level.

They’re not always easy to get to, but they’re both fun and rewarding places to visit in every playthrough.Īccessing the retro levels is always achieved in the same way. Streets of Rage 4 is filled with tons of references to previous games in the series, but perhaps the coolest easter eggs you can find are the secret retro levels.
