In round 2 we look at a classic Capcom 2D fighting game that was released early in the Saturn's life, and the Playstation version that was released years later. How did the two fair against the arcade original, as well as one another?

Episode Notes:

1. I did not go into detail about load times because my Playstation version has a couple of scratches that cause it to skip on one of the music tracks a slight bit. I did not have confidence that this would not affect loading as well, so I decided to play it safe. In general, it does load slower than the Saturn game in most instances.

2. The Playstation versions animation really is quite decent. You really have to look for differences, at least until the action heats up and the fighting begins. When the frames start to drop, it really impacts the visual beauty of the experience.

3. I have owned the Saturn version of X-Men Children of the Atom since its Japanese launch.

4. There was also a PC version of this game available back then. I wish I owned it so I could compare it. Arcade1up also released a Marvel Super Heroes cab that had it as well.

5. When it comes to voice samples, the PS1 seems to have a slight edge over the Saturn, but both sound really good IMO.

6. This game is hard no matter which version you play. Defeating Magneto is no joke, and he is easily one of Capcom's cheapest boss fights. I couldn't even get to him in the Playstation game. That controller is a hell of a handicap for me.

7. The sprite work, voices, and even the music of this game would go on to power Capcom's Marvel games for years. You can find something from this game in Marvel Super Heroes, X-men vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter, and even Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2.
