Damn, those Master System conversions. Equally amazing at what they could achieve and awful in comparison to the Genesis/ Mega Drive.
I never even knew they existed to be honest.

The first one is reallllly bad but the second one is at least reasonable. Pretty amazing to play on a Game Gear, in fact.
Haven't watched yet, but just wanted to say John does an absolutely incredible job with all these videos! Thanks for all your hard work, John!
Halfway through and it's another amazing DF Retro episode thanks John!......Streets of Rage 2 was definitely the best for the music alone.
Pretty much.
Really looking forward to this one. I'm yet to watch the OG FFVII episode as well, very interested in that one too.
Yea...can't argue with that. DF's tech deep dives are engaging and also accessible to laymen.
It's a real treat, and offers some comfort in these stressful times. Keep up the great work, guys!
This episode of DF Retro was unbelievably good. It's also great to hear from someone who understands how legendary the SoR franchise is. I'm so hyped for SoR4 and I'm psyched John approves.
I'm really, really glad we get to have at least a serious Sega fan running a retro-focused Youtube series/channel, and the whole video is amazingly made, but i'm not sure i personally trust the guy anymore considering he overpraised the good but clearly flawed Monster Boy with similar tones too.
Anyway another fantastic video, thank god for DF Retro indeed.

Dude, Monster Boy flawed? In what way? It's one of my favorite games of the entire generation. I mean, any game can have its share of issues but they seem so minor in the grand scheme of things.
Not a big deal as opinions will always vary. That's just my raw excitement coming through.
We had a thread before where people stated their IMO legitimate concerns with the game. Sorry, i didn't mean to derail this one.
Keep up the good work ^^
Oh that's fine, like I said, anything can be critiqued. I just can't imagine what the complaints might be. I found it to be startlingly great.
Then again, you have stuff like Hollow Knight, which is superb as well, but it didn't grab me in the same way and I have a lot of nitpicks there. Yet others swear by it.
I love how you compare it with Sonic Mania, Monster Boy, Megaman 11... It gives me the same vibe as well.
MM11 doesn't really belong with the other two as it doesn't really feel like MM at all. The levels are too long and Wily's castle is too short. It honestly feels like Shovel Knight if you never hit one of the checkpoints.
Seeing all the graphical effects was cool. Just from watching trailers and gameplay videos I never noticed, but it looks really good. The lighting is great.
And hearing the OST is great is the best thing you could ever say about an sor game. It looks like they managed to create a successful sequel. I applaud them (with a purchase).

Dark1x damn this game is gorgeous, excellent video buddy, especially liked the behind the scenes dev parts showing art creation, animation and lighting. Very cool shit to see a games production, a lot of work has and does go into this game and others we should be grateful!
You can tell this was a passion project :)

While I agree with those specific complaints I'd still rate MM11 very highly. If nothing else, that team understands that solid robot master weapons are the crux of the franchise.
Great stuff as always, I knew Jon would love the game. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough!
It actually is an unusual example in that it's a completely different build with different mechanics and assets.
Really excited to take a crack at it.
MM11 hast he most thoughtful level and weapon design in the entire series. As someone that has played this franchise since the very first game, I fail to see how it doesn't feel like MM.
Quality work as usual. Watching the whole thing was a treat for us SoR fans.
I kind of wish you gave the SoR remake a shoutout though. That game was so damn good and eased the lack of a official SoR from Sega until 4. At least for me.
