Playing this destroyed your hands though. The 3do was notorious for its stiff and poorly made dpads, and you felt it with this game.
Also keep in mind that this predated the playstation launch by two years, and and for people still playing the SNES and Genesis, this was a huge leap forwards. People who paid 799 were early console adopters to the 3-d era.
@jowrab actually the saturn had did have 3rd party suport by most developers,but they all transfered to sony towords the end of saturns life cicle,it had nothing to do with sony's money.capcom and snk leaned more towords the saturn then they did the playstaion,because the saturn had the ram to suport perfect ports of their games.
Go into my YouTube profile and look for the link to my blog. Click on the link in the "About Me" section of my blog to play Street Fighter 2 for free! (US only,+18)
It interests me so much for people to get that toolbar because I make $1 every time it downloads. (Thanks)
@jowrab Average? For its day it was much better than the competition that's for sure, only the loading times were a pain compared to cartridge based machines. Trip Hawkins bought out something special and could have nailed Nintendo but well it didn't happen and Standard Oil of New York (SONY) did instead.
I paid around $1500 for one of the very first Panasonic 3DO systems imported by MD Consoles in Dudley. The only problem was that when I got it I found out I had no TV to run it on as it needed to be sync'd unlike other NTSC machines before it. So I bought a Philips Matchline TV costing me $2500. Oh I also had to buy a quality step up transformer as I'm from the sovereign state of England and that cost me around 100$. The machine was good!
@anunnaki2006 I was happy with it at the time as I had a great featured TV that had picture in picture, photographing, pausing and all sorts along with the most powerful machine at the time when NO one could get hold of them as only my friend had managed to pulled a deal off with Electronic Arts in the U.S. to get hold of Panasonic 3DOs real early. I loved to have everything first and have everyone in awe at my wares at the time haha. Changed a lot since but yeah it was fun :)
@anunnaki2006 You would have been better off using that money on a slot machine. The 3D0 was a money burning machine. That's top end PC money you wasted on a white elephant. Only 2 years later it was already technologically obsolete.
@MrLicky106 You are wrong. This is direct from my 3DO. The PS2 and Xbox shared the same soundtrack which is probably where the confusion is coming from.
it was to expensive barely had any game's i like the game's though i didnt have good advertisement i dont remember seeing anything advertisement till 95. 2yrs after the release it was ahead of it's time i remember going to play it and my friends didnt know what it was i would play playstation and 3do i liked the 3do better but no games would come out.
@emailme23 you are right it was to expensive but there were loads of great games out for the console - i had a good run with this machine inbetween the snes and ps1 ,, never did i think once that i had expired its playlist - decent games were always coming out (NOT in droves admittidly) but on my budget it was great,, 6 player fifa was the ultimate!!!
@jonnythecroww alot of the game's were big portion of the game were puzzle and sport game's they released 238 game's super nes 1,568 ps1 2,418 ps1 was out 5yrs before ps2 came out 3d0 had at least 4yr life span it was 700$ when i first got it it was finally slashed down to 500$ later but by then it was to late face fact there marketing wasn't that great didn't have alot of games didn't have good variety and certain place's stop selling there game's b4 it even died it was horrible
This game looks amazing and sounds great on this console. It's a ashame it's other titles were absolute shit. No wonder no one wanted to pay 700 dollars for it. I mean who can take titles like Plumbers don't wear ties and Vampires in my house seriously?
Actually, there were quite a few pretty good games on 3DO. Star Control II, Space Hulk, Star Fighter, Alone in the Dark, Samurai Shodown, Need for Speed, Road Rash, etc. The thing is, it doesn't matter how many good games are on a video game console if that console is horribly overpriced. There's only a certain amount of money that most gamers, even the uber core early adopters, are willing to spend on a console. Look at PS3: launch $599 price messed Sony up for a bit there.
@spiffyvictory The other problem was many of the titles you mentioned were on other consoles for cheaper prices. I think if the 3DO were cheaper and had more support it would have still lost to sony's playstation though due to simple popularity.
those gamespot magazines would really make you want and dream about owning a 3do cause of the superior graphics and sound compared to the snes and sega vers.. also this would be the closest a game would get to teh arcade
@EricSchwin22 Agreed, because Sony are notoriously lazy when it comes to port forwarding. The PS2 could (and should) have had arcade perfect versions of this, Ghouls And Ghosts, Strider etc etc etc in their 'arcade collections' games but they couldn't be bothered. Microsoft are just as guilty. Same rules apply:(
@JuicyPlayer Capcom merely permitted (for a fee) Microsoft and Sony to use said games, It's up to MS and Sony to use their hardware to bring those titles alive, which they never did, same goes for Taito collection which came out on both consoles.
@00woolley MS , Sony and Nintendo have nothing to do with how 3rd party developers make games on their console. Their only role in the process is to make sure the games are bug free and that they follow the content standards that they have present in their respective systems. If that were the case multiplatform PS3 and 360 games would be the same performance wise.
@JuicyPlayer I'll concede this argument as you are right about 3rd party developers and I'm in the wrong:( But I must ask you a question - who's to blame for a poor conversion... I'm confused... I always thought that it was up to the console eg XBOX, PS2 etc??????? Although Ghosts And Goblins, Ghouls And Ghosts and Super Ghouls And Ghosts were sick on the PS2:) Hit me back...
@00woolley Its the fault of the developer if the conversion process is bad , most classic games can be run on current consoles with no problem. Although back in the day Arcade machines were usually more powerful than the console so developers had no choice but to downsize the game.
My 3DO Cost Me £300 in The Early 90s,The games were way ahead of there time,shame they flopped,that was probebly because possibly sony had paid the games companies to make games for the ps1 instead,and they all jumped ship..
The damn thing had 1 controller port, no matter which hardware version you bought, you had to connect the second controller to the first controller, as if it were handcuffed to one another. My brother bought this and ruined life for me as my Dad didn't get me a Playstation because he said we had the 3DO, and by then my brother stopped playing video games all together. I had to wait a long time before I finally got my N64.
True, it would've been nice to have two controller ports on the console itself, but then again the daisy chaining that they used made it so you didn't have to by a multi controller box for 4-8 player games. FIFA Soccer with up to 6 players was friggin' godly on this thing. Shame that there wasn't a Bomberman released on it like Saturn though, cause Saturn Bomberman's 6 player mode made it the best of the bunch.
@spiffyvictory You're right, it did make the use of a multi controller port obscelete. Also, I loved that it gave you that true arcade experience. All of the Street Fighter up to that point were good, but weren't up to par with the arcade version in terms of fluidity of the graphics, frame rate, and imo what the 3do did best, the sound. It sounded great on regular TV's, but it was even better if you had a surround sound system connected.
there's no denying the sucsess of the ps1 but I always prefered the 3DO I picked one up as the price was on the decline only to find the games for it were on the way out, I managed to hunt out some of the great games for it including this one and was so happy with it until I was burgled and lost it, I later replaced with a playstation and got some of the same games back but in comparrison they were blocky and jerky, nfs and road rash on 3DO for example pwned!!!
Wow the audio quality is amazing! Why did the 3DO flop so badly when its capabilities were so good?
The CPU wasn't very fast, but the graphics and audio were great and the OS was apparently pretty decent. Shame really, maybe it was just too expensive.
@batlin Purely on price. $700 for a console, even today, is well beyond what the market will bear. By the time the price came down to reasonable levels, the PlayStation had better capabilities and games.
@Gamereviewgod Yep, that is a lot of money. The PS3 was very expensive when it arrived, but it had the benefit of building on the fame of the PSX and PS2 (and more gamers with more money nowadays, perhaps).
@batlin It's just recorded music. The 3DO is CD-based hardware. The voices and sound fx are not so great actually, so I'm not real sure what you mean in terms of capabilities.
@neoalec Really? I had figured it played tracked music as well, similar to the PSF/PSF2 for PSX and PS2, and similar module formats on the N64, Dreamcast etc. Either way there has to be some audio mixing capability to get sfx and voices on top of the streamed soundtrack.
Dude the 3do was on the same level as PSOne (PS1). Graphics, audio were on the same level as a Playtstation One.
The main reason was the fact that it cost too much to buy one and some the games were lame.. But it still had some good games, even tho it wasn't many.. It was a great system in theory, but they market it wrong and design badly.
@WarshipAngelus Yeah I'm not gonna argue that the hardware wasn't superior the 16 bit consoles that would be ridiculous but the way it was utilized for this game is not very impressive.
@batlin 3DO failed for many reasons. The price is one of the main problems it had. The only reason why I owned one back in the day was the fact that I found an ad in a local newspaper. Some guy was selling his 3DO with 2 controllers and around 30 games for $400, which was a steal. I was young, but I had a newspaper route and I had enough money saved up to get it. If you didn't have one at the time they came out, you seriously have no idea how badass 3DO was. It was a quantum leap ahead...
@mp4podcastDOTcom The WP article gave one reason for the high price - the 3rd party manufacturer license, where manufacturers had to make a profit (compared to Nintendo and Sony's hardware which is sold as a loss leader, so they make the profit off the games instead). A shame really. I'd never have been able to afford one of these. In fact, like the Neo Geo, nobody I knew had one - you'd only seem them in big games shops or arcades.
I own this for 3DO and I will have to say the music is great and animation of the characters are quite good for the console.Also the loading times were not as terrible surprisingly enough.
This 3DO version is simply a newer version of Street Fighter 2 on a more powerful system than the Sega and Nintendo versions.
As with gamepads or arcade sticks, I`m sure there must be some decent alternative controllers for all systems.
I owned the Sega versions but that does not stop me from checking out different versions and ports of the game. It doesn`t matter if it`s 3DO, Sega, Nintendo, 16 bit or even 8 bit. They are all Street Fighter and that`s part of what makes them interesting.
Genesis version is better simply because of its controller. The Genesis 6 button controller owns 4 button SNES anyday. The special moves are much easier to perform on a genesis.
The difference was far, far, far more than "minor". Go look over the 3DO game library, and compare to the consoles of the previous gen (TG-16, Genesis, and SNES). Games like Star Fighter, Need for Speed, and Alone in the Dark could not be done on the previous gen consoles. The difference was MAJOR.
It's still weird that there's little to no parallax scrolling in the 3DO version. Even the Genesis outdoes it in this area. Oh well, larger sprites, more colors and better audio make up for it. The music is debatable since some like myself prefer the CPS2 beats.
personally, I loved the music for the 3DO, it just helped make it epic. Considering everything else around at the time was all synthesized, 3DO at least pushed the limit for sound quality in most of it's games.
Also, don't forget the super frame rate and animations. After playing this game like crazy on my SNES and at my cousins house on his Genesis, there was nothing more satisfying than seeing your character, walk backwards, and using a different stride...lol
hey when I played the Playstation one I was happy to Guile's walk backwards with that one fist out. The 2 16 bits systems couldn't do that. to me his walk backwards says. "HEY! HEY! BACK OFF ME! YOU DON'T WANT NONE OF THIS!" I'M CHARGING! I'M CHARGING!.....but uh....yeah. very happy to see it :D
LOL yeah...I think 3DO came first though, I don't think Playstation was out at the time of this game's release (i could be wrong). So the only other console I had to compare it to was SNES
@ShinobiXRevived totally, i can't stand trying to do the strong tornado kick or fireball using those awkward L and R shoulder buttons, and even if i change the designation in the settings, i hate using the shoulder buttons for the low kick/low punch
@WebVMan Only four buttons though and the shoulder buttons were a nuisance to use. My favourite has to be Streetfighter 2 Turbo on Streetfighter Collection for the Sega Saturn played with the Virtua Stick
@ExtremeBogom I owned the SNES version and liked a lot but I played the 3DO one and I recognized it is better in every way except for the loading times.
The 3DO has more processing power than the CPS2 board but less RAM. Those 2D fighters were heavily RAM demanding games for their time. The system probably doesn't have enough memory to load the additional layers and maintain the right frame rate and character animations ...
Dude, as suprising as it may sound, this port to the console is actually superb, still wasn't worth shelling out like £600 for the console when first released...... FML
yeah man, you don't understand me well. I said that the 3DO, including the M2 project, had many problems in reading because it loads data directly from CD, instead of using a cache. A simply scratch could cause a disc error. I had a 3DO, and beyond that, the console was perfect.
Wasn't this the only SSF2T on consoles at the time? I still have this beautiful game in a CD case. Hanging out with all my other 3DO games and Sega CD games.
This is super street fighter 2 turbo that was it's full title,Cause remember in street fighter 2 turbo we did not have camey,Dee jay,fie long, or T halk, in that version yet,So you hade the title right just forgot to add super.
this is turbo not the regular SSF2 so there wasn't any super fireballs or anything like that just turbo speed and this is the first apperance of Gouki!!!!! So play the SNES version and tell i'm wrong again
no but they did on street fighter alpha wich is basically exactly the same as this game it was just named diffrent alpha is exactly the same as SSF2T it has got all the same characters same levels same moves and firballs and supers its just basically a clone i know cause iv got it
just say that i'm right and that you made a mistake man, SSF2 was a great game!!! God damn this SF has been killed by so many releases under differnent names fuck!!
there was a 6 button controller i have 2 of them . i have a panasonic 3d0 (not the fz-10 the later one) but at one point i had the gunmetal grey goldstar model . that one was awesome it even had a MPEG CART to watch movies!
@x6x6xryu The 3DO and PC version are on the same level. I think the PC version is even better although the actual game was terrible...Missing animations, only ran in MSDOS etc.
Was there even a six button controller released for the 3DO? The only gamepads I ever saw for it had only three buttons (plus a start and maybe select button). Do you have to switch between punches and kicks?
God, I have thi system and honestly this is the HARDEST console edition of this game. Also have the compilation for the Sega Saturn and it is not half as hard as this one!
I'm going to have to go on Ebay and try and get one. There is a "Play n trade" near my house but they never get anything 3do software or hardware. Goes to show how limited the units were for this system.
BEST CONVERSION OF SUPER STREET FIGHTER 2 TURBO EVER!! i loved this on my 3d0! only problem? play akuma on balrog stage and do an air fireball while balrog has a full super.. he will use it.. and then freeze in the courner ready for you to beat the living fuck out of him!!
I just bought a 3DO for $6 at a thrift store. They used to be $700! Anyway, this was impressive for the time, but you can play this game on the second Capcom arcade collection.
r yall stupid or somethin....this was way better than the snes and genesis..the music on this ver was way better than the both systems....this game is the best the came out for any system..genesis was crappy music and sound..
Why is everyone mimicking me? (I check dates) 1. This is Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (SSFIIT) 2. This is supposed to be a review, WHERE is it? Please check my name for the REAL review of Street Fighter II Turbo. Thanks and please leave a comment.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't think he meant that. The sound affects are kinda dull.... The sound affects aren't as bad as the SNES version or the Genesis version, but I agree, they're pretty terrible.
Still waiting for Capcom to top the SFII series' stages and music.

The main reason was the fact that it cost too much to buy one and some the games were lame.. But it still had some good games, even tho it wasn't many.. It was a great system in theory, but they market it wrong and design badly.

@WarshipAngelus Yeah I'm not gonna argue that the hardware wasn't superior the 16 bit consoles that would be ridiculous but the way it was utilized for this game is not very impressive.
Luigi84289 1 year ago
@batlin 3DO failed for many reasons. The price is one of the main problems it had. The only reason why I owned one back in the day was the fact that I found an ad in a local newspaper. Some guy was selling his 3DO with 2 controllers and around 30 games for $400, which was a steal. I was young, but I had a newspaper route and I had enough money saved up to get it. If you didn't have one at the time they came out, you seriously have no idea how badass 3DO was. It was a quantum leap ahead...

@batlin I bought the Panasonic FZ-1 when it dropped to 500 dollars and even the price drop was crazy people still did not want to pay that.
mp4podcastDOTcom 1 year ago
@mp4podcastDOTcom The WP article gave one reason for the high price - the 3rd party manufacturer license, where manufacturers had to make a profit (compared to Nintendo and Sony's hardware which is sold as a loss leader, so they make the profit off the games instead). A shame really. I'd never have been able to afford one of these. In fact, like the Neo Geo, nobody I knew had one - you'd only seem them in big games shops or arcades.

@batlin (1) It was $700. (2) It had few games and most were terrible.

I own this for 3DO and I will have to say the music is great and animation of the characters are quite good for the console.Also the loading times were not as terrible surprisingly enough.

This 3DO version is simply a newer version of Street Fighter 2 on a more powerful system than the Sega and Nintendo versions.
As with gamepads or arcade sticks, I`m sure there must be some decent alternative controllers for all systems.
I owned the Sega versions but that does not stop me from checking out different versions and ports of the game. It doesn`t matter if it`s 3DO, Sega, Nintendo, 16 bit or even 8 bit. They are all Street Fighter and that`s part of what makes them interesting.

Genesis version is better simply because of its controller. The Genesis 6 button controller owns 4 button SNES anyday. The special moves are much easier to perform on a genesis.
ShinobiXRevived 2 years ago 3
you have to admit that the music , graphic and sound on the sega genesis is total crap compared to the superieur 3DO Version
SuperDave341 2 years ago
The 3DO was a commercial failure, and music, graphics, and sound don't matter when the difference is MINOR, what matters is gameplay.
And Turbo was never released on the Sega, we're talking about street fighter II in general.
ShinobiXRevived 2 years ago 2
@ShinobiXRevived
The difference was far, far, far more than "minor". Go look over the 3DO game library, and compare to the consoles of the previous gen (TG-16, Genesis, and SNES). Games like Star Fighter, Need for Speed, and Alone in the Dark could not be done on the previous gen consoles. The difference was MAJOR.

dunnono00 1 year ago
It's still weird that there's little to no parallax scrolling in the 3DO version. Even the Genesis outdoes it in this area. Oh well, larger sprites, more colors and better audio make up for it. The music is debatable since some like myself prefer the CPS2 beats.
dunnono00 1 year ago
personally, I loved the music for the 3DO, it just helped make it epic. Considering everything else around at the time was all synthesized, 3DO at least pushed the limit for sound quality in most of it's games.
Also, don't forget the super frame rate and animations. After playing this game like crazy on my SNES and at my cousins house on his Genesis, there was nothing more satisfying than seeing your character, walk backwards, and using a different stride...lol
but hey that's just me :)
LuvPlayN 1 year ago 3
hey when I played the Playstation one I was happy to Guile's walk backwards with that one fist out. The 2 16 bits systems couldn't do that. to me his walk backwards says. "HEY! HEY! BACK OFF ME! YOU DON'T WANT NONE OF THIS!" I'M CHARGING! I'M CHARGING!.....but uh....yeah. very happy to see it :D

malducci 2 years ago
@malducci
The 3DO has more processing power than the CPS2 board but less RAM. Those 2D fighters were heavily RAM demanding games for their time. The system probably doesn't have enough memory to load the additional layers and maintain the right frame rate and character animations ...

3DO reads data directly from CD, this causes the loading screens and the frequent disc errors.
This was the only problem with 3DO...
mruppel2 2 years ago
in that case it must be the problem with all new systems that uses discs and OMG have loading screens.
"frequent disc errors" - i guess you've never had a bad cartridge before have ya.
and CDs/DVDs last a long time if you take care of them. usually the drives wear out before the discs do.
aj0049 2 years ago
yeah man, you don't understand me well. I said that the 3DO, including the M2 project, had many problems in reading because it loads data directly from CD, instead of using a cache. A simply scratch could cause a disc error. I had a 3DO, and beyond that, the console was perfect.
mruppel2 2 years ago
oh oh I get it now. god daaamn. so did like all CD consoles before Saturn/PS1 not have a cache on their drives at all? wtf is up with that.
