Unholy Night: New fighting game by ex-SNK... for Super Nintendo???

Got mine today.

The packaging and overall presentation is really nice.

The game itself is okay. It's nothing really new but it at least feels like a SFC era game and not some aesthetically unpleasing homebrew garbage that most games that are developed for older hardware end up being.

The lack of music tracks is doing my head in though.



More people have old SNES hardware than old Neo Geo hardware = more sales I am guessing.

Have you got anymore updated impressions?

Just received an email that my copy shipped from Amazon.

Forgot to cancel my order since the game hasn't looked that good imo :(
 
Small cart sizes and lower screen resolution. GBA is way more powerful than a Neo Geo.

Yeah, it really is quite amazing that we had a handheld that was more powerful than the Neo Geo. The GBA really deserves more credit when it comes to raw power. The DS also looks amazing thanks to the extra power and the bigger carts. The DS was finally able to deliver handheld Neo Geo.

Still at a resolution deficit tho

I received my copy today. I contacted Amazon about not getting 20% off because it is a new game non collectors edition and they gave me $10. Must be a Prime member.

The boxart is certainly eye catching.

Thanks for the review BNGames! I was thinking about buying this but then I realized I don't even have a SNES or Retron. Too bad about the story though.

Guess it's either a Japan only boxart or it wasn't the true boxart in the end.

And the Engrish,and the framerate, and the spammy Emily, etc...

lol the review won't be so harsh though, it has some good points too.
