It's fun. SNES port better than Arcade if you can believe that.

the evil scientist guy's stuff has logos of the same organization that you fight in In The Hunt.

A small imprint of irem's attempts to make a universe, however brief it was. there was also a fighting game where the final boss was a bydo representative. perhaps it would have tied together eventually.

anyway, the game itself, amazing pixel art, kung fu jesus is my favorite.

I love the Irem M72 color palette.
Play the "Alpha Renewal" version, the "World" version is messed up.

>>12360326
Never heard of it prior to this thread and I like beat em ups. So thanks for telling me about this game

It's good, beautiful graphics, nice gritty urban semi future dystopia and fun gameplay.

>SNES port
Shame it lacks 2 player, has too few on screen enemies and the graphics took a big hit. They ported this in mid 95, shame it wasn't to the PS1 and/or Saturn which could actually handle the game.

>ported this in mid 95
It was actually made in large part before then (there were Japanese ads promoting the release and the game was in a presentable state at CES 1993). Apparently IREM was going to release it themselves, but shelved it for whatever reason. Varie picked it up a while later and released it.

Irem America had an early death, they didn't even publish the western R-Type III release (it was Jaleco).

Not much to say. The M72 was Irem's first NEC V30 based arcade machine and had many variants (UC Cops is on the M92, specifically). They featured a very distinct color palette with fairly muted/desaturated colors, which I think looks pretty cool.

Akio and the guy who later did KOF's sprites (I forgot his name) had a very detailed technique, it's crazy how they evolved with time, specially comparing Akio's R-Type (which was already great) to his later work.

>>12360492
what games are these? i love their look

Kinda boring.
Great visuals tho.

>>12360326
Crazy how much of a gooner character Rosa is yet all the skin we see is the one shown in that pic. 90% of her sprites are sexy (sometimes also goofy) poses, but shes doing them while wearing baggy casual clothes that cover almost everything. I think they originally wanted her clothes to rip off when she does her ultimate move but they discarded it.

sm_izumi ranks snes port S tier so it's S tier in my book

>SNES port better than Arcade if you can believe that.

What makes it better? The extra moves that are already in the Japanese arcade original?

>>12361167
>The Japanese version features several attacks: wake-up attacks (mash the buttons/joystick after being knocked down), running jump attacks (double-tap forward then jump and attack), Super Desperation Moves, and all but one type of throw (including unique auto-throws at the end of combos). All of these attacks were omitted in the International versions.
For what reason?

That's why, when it comes to arcade games, I only play the Jap version.

Imagine if Rosa were your mother and she fucked your bully

Have a look at their whole library, it's not that large.
M72: https://system16.com/hardware.php?id=738
M92: https://system16.com/hardware.php?id=747

>>12361348
Yep. They also made Metal Slug.

>>12361339
anon please...

>>12361303
sometimes shit gets fixed in the international version. its really a case by case basis.

>>12360326
Cool aesthetics, B tier gameplay.

>>12362280
It's not a beta, just intentionally stripped down because japs thought american asshoes r too stupid for supeliol japanese gamepray.

another irem arcade beatemup that had significant changes is hook. they totally changed the color palette and took out the female boss fight from the us version. replaced with an extra hook fight

Pretty fun beat em up

The US version of UC Cops was released on March 1992 while the Japanese version was released on July that year, this heavily implies that the US version was unfinished.

>>12363771
ah ok, then you're probably right

>>12363143
Stfu retard it's obviously a beta/early revision, King of dragons was a similar case
