Description

Gameplay footage of the Sega Saturn edition of Waku Waku 7. Gameplay is of Arina on normal mode with rounds set at two.

The Saturn release of Waku Waku 7 is strangely the worst of all the releases....and I'm not exactly sure why that is because there isn't really a reason for it to be.

The game required the additional 1-4MB cartridge in order to run which should have given it the edge and make it almost arcade perfect like what X-men VS. Street fighter, KOF96, Darkstalkers 3 are but instead this release of the game has Longer loading times, lower audio quality, lower sprite quality and worst of all the backgrounds have all taken a massive hit and have less detail to them. So basically compared to the Neo Geo/PS2 release this looks like crap when really it has no reason to.

The PS2 and Neo-Geo releases are pretty much arcade perfect whilst the Sega Saturn version looks terrible by comparison and it honestly should look better than this because other games like Marvel Super Heroes VS. Street Fighter have shown its possible with Saturn hardware.

Perhaps Sunsoft just couldn't understand the complicated method to how the Saturn Dev Kit worked or perhaps they just didn't care as much seeing as how this was a Japanese only release. Either way its very sad because this is a fantastic game that deserved better treatment for this port to the Saturn.
