Now this is a title I suspect @Yakumo will look at along with its many many ports at some point, which is Lemmings. This is a quick video of the PSP version which was a remake of the original Amiga game with 36 new stages and a level editor, it was also ported to PS2. The later PS3 version was in fact a sequel to this version. Still on PS Store to buy also and I believe it supports Vita as well.
The Shadow of the Beast levels are partly in (graphics and music changed) as is the 666 stage which was often removed/changed or edited in other versions. The extra stages and worlds seen in the SNES and Mega Drive version aren't here, but they were done by Sunsoft. It's amazing how many versions of the game each have their own extra levels.
PSP version is a great way to play it on the go.

This week we look at the rather odd Saturn port of Whizz, a PAL and NTSC/J game only.
Ported to quite a few consoles and each version has different changes between them. [MENTION=1524]Yakumo[/MENTION] do you have a Japanese version of Whizz by the way? From what I've seen the Japanese PS1 and Saturn versions adds in a running shoe power up and changes some enemies like the jesters on 4-1 to a spinning top, can you confirm? I can find very little information on the Japanese Saturn version and don't have a copy.
Passwords are World 2 - CBAACA World 3 - BCBAAB World 4 - CACBBA

I remember working in HMV back when this was released in the UK and feeling so pissed off at Konami. Every Saturn owner wanted Castlevania but what did Konami go and release? Yep this bollocks.

Originally posted by Yakumo View PostI didn't even know this was on the SNES. Wow.
We gave the OSSC a try with Virtua Fighter 2 as we needed a better mix of footage for a Saturn video, that hopefully will have finished in the near future. Yakumo has an idea of what's it is about, likely next month it will go live. In the mean time here is a selection of matches using watch mode.

We can't win either way as some people want commentary, some don't hence why we have a range of videos on the channel and blog. It's a balancing act you can never get right for everyone.
You'll like prefer these ones, which are fully voiced over:

Really great news for the channel this week as we reached the 2000 subscribers mark, so we did a special video to mark the event:
Also a new video where we looked at the Dreamcast version of the Atari Anniversary Edition, which only got released in North American. All these games did appear on a number of other collections, however. In fact I think the Atari collection for PS2 and Xbox was the best one as it included all these games and more. Still some great titles here:
