If only the PCE was an SFC

[Black Tiger]

Don't you wish you could hear what PCE music would sound like if it didn't have a shitty 8-bit NES sound chip?

If Hudson hadn't wasted the game on a dead system, it could have sounded like this on the legendary SNES:








For those who are interested in having their ears bleed from bleep bloops, here's the Turbo/PCE version, recorded from real actual hardware:

Dat reverb!

Think I have heard better farts

I just played the two tracks over each other... pretty effin' weird.
They both have their charms, I think.

[SuperGrafx]

I have to say, there's a certain charm about PCE chiptunes. 
With that in mind, I prefer the PCE version of the track.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Holy hell, that's horrible!  I feel like I have heard much better SNES renditions of PCE tunes, but, still, I like the warmer feel of both the Turbo & NES, over the SNES.  There are some fantastic soundtracks on SNES, so don't mistake me, Actraiser is one of my fave's.

surely, red book audio on pc engine super cd rom is much better than chip generated snes music, for example Dracula/castlevania rondo of blood vs vampire kiss or castlevania 4

Red Book = cheatin'

Obviously the SNES Dracula X soundtrack doesn't compare with Rondo's CD audio.  That being said, I always liked the Dracula X soundtrack on the SNES; it does very well considering its limitations.

The SNES sound chip sounds very good in many games.  This Soldier Blade SNES rendition obviously doesn't rank among them.

[Necromancer]

Holy shit, that is horrible!

[Opethian]

can you do soldier blade on the genny sound hardware? I want to hear the brown.

Truth!  And seriously, you can't even say that Castlevania IV didn't rock ALL your genitalia off (both in music and in game) the first time you played it.

I actually expected to hit play and go, "that wasn't that bad...just different."


But nope, that's terrible. I never liked the SNES sound/music anyway. Most games seemed to always sound the same.

as far as music goes:

PCE>Gen>SFC

[BlueBMW]

It sounds like Mega Man X instruments but almost like they're off a bit or something....  Maybe muffled or something.  Seems like the sounds should be a little sharper.  Listening to that and then Storm Eagle's stage music...  yeah somethings not right.

I don't know why Hudson and NEC made the crappy PC Engine when they could have made the glorious SNES instead. They're so stupid. The PC Engine is like a NES only more NES-like than the NES. How crappy that system is. Everyone should hate it as soon as they can.

The TurboGrafx-16 kicks all sorts of ass, though.
