|
|
I'm finally going to actually _buy_ one of the Parodius series, having enjoyed them via piracy long enough. But all I've played are the FC/SFC versions. Including the Saturn and PSX games, which is the best version of Parodius?
Excluding the UK SNES release, because PAL makes baby Jesus cry. |

Not that I know, but I've always liked the TG-16 version. The tg-16 has always been a good shooter system and Parodius was good, except for the fact that the damn clowns on the second level always piss me off. |

Sexy Parodius for PSX is very good. Parodius DA! is excellent, but I've only played the arcade version of it. I hear the console versions have slowdown. (You can get it for MAME... I think SP as well.) |

Did any other Parodius besides Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius include the crazy Japanese commentaries? Those really helped to increase the overall wackyness... |

So you understand my post, I said Wai Wai World 2 because technically it's a Parodius game, since it mocks a lot of different franchises. It's even got a Gradius / Twinbee section, heh heh. But it's not in the series.
Anyway, the PAL versions of the Twinbee games have ALL story references removed, if I remember correctly. :\ |

Well, the PAL versions of Pop'n Twinbee and Rainbow Bell Adventures have translated intros (and presumably endings) but I hear some between-level text in RBA was cut. |

Nope. Only Oshaberi had the commentaries. Hence the title (Oshaberi = Talking). |

And you can turn it off, thank god. I'm currently thinking Oshaberi or Sexy for the PSX.
Ooh! I just noticed that Sexy's covered by Mame! I'll go check that out...
Are there any noticable differences between the PSX and Saturn versions of Sexy or Oshaberi? As much as I love my Saturn, I suck at keeping the battery working. |

I mentioned Sexy was available for MAME, but I guess I should've put the full name instead of just SP. Sorry.
No differences that I know of on Sexy, other than the FMV might be a little better on PSX. |

DURP!! I am a retarded. Thanks, though. I'm going to get Sexy, and signs point to PSX, as that's easier for me to play imports with. Here's where I have a heart attack as I see how much the game goes for... Hmm! Not as bad as I expected. |

I don't know about MAME, probably not. Hm... It's been awhile since I've played it, actually... maybe Sexy doesn't have any story FMVs. I'm 99% sure it at LEAST has the "walking Konami logo" FMV though. |

Guess what? It doesn't have any FMV. Everything's normal sprites. The GX System was powerful, but not -that- powerful.
At least not without a hard drive anyway.
Edit:
And no, it doesn't have that walking Konami logo either. |

Oops! My mistake. I meant to specify, the PSX version should have the walking Konami logo FMV, not the arcade version. I just popped it in, and it does have that FMV, but everything else is indeed sprite-based.
Yeah, I nearly knew it wouldn't have any in the arcade, but sometimes they add FMV to the home conversions. |

Well, I've got the PSX version of SP in my grubby little mitts. It plays fine, and doesn't have the stereotypical lousy PSX 2-Dness. Must be the dark magicks of Konami. |
