#Arcade Ports

[gear-project]

. . .

Someone asked me a weird question, and I'm not sure I can give a straight answer but... based on what little I understand:

The Nintendo Wii version of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is based on the original PlayStation 2 port of the game.

The Nintendo Switch version of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R is "supposedly" based on the Arcade version of Plus R.

I don't have the precise details on this, so I can't confirm it or not.

All I can say is that the Steam version/PC version of Accent Core Plus R is probably the closest to the Arcade version, even compared to the XBox360 version.

This is largely why it might prove difficult to port Accent Core Plus R to the PlayStation 4/5 at this time... since the PlayStation 3 version of Accent Core Plus R is a "bad port" of the Arcade version... they would likely have to make a port of PlusR from Scratch for PS5 (if they ever decided to).

If anyone has more details on PlusR they could divulge to add to this post, I'd appreciate it... but so far, all I can really say is that Plus R itself is fundamentally an "arcade version" of Accent Core Plus (ACPlus was an "append" to the original PS2 port of the game, but later ported to Arcades in a completely different way).

It took nearly a year to "patch" to the PS3 version of Accent Core Plus to a semi-stable "Plus R" build... so that should give you some idea why the PC version is probably the most stable version in existence.

Prior to ACPlus on the PS2, was the unstable builds of Accent Core, which are famous for the I-No Fortissimo Crash bug, among other issues it had.

Prior to that was GGXX Slash and GG Isuka builds, which were based on Blue Reload, which was based on Red Reload which was based on the original "unpatched" Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival.

GGXX had several "Arcade Naomi ports" based on the games I just listed, but they aren't nearly as big a project as Plus R was to reverse-port.

Again, I have no idea if they will ever port this game to PS4 or PS5... but I have my doubts.

It's also why it's less likely to see a modern port of GGX1.5 or Guilty Gear X Plus on anything beyond Naomi/Atomiswave/PS2 console emulation.

Ported from the arcade by PCE gurus Hudson Soft rather than by Capcom themselves. Lookit the size’a that boss sprite!

Here's some info about the upcoming AiPri Switch game (to be released on December 5th, 2024) as written in the Amazon listing:

The control scheme has been 'rearranged' so that children can easily play the amusement game Himitsu no AiPri's "Live Game" from home. Four people can play at once, so you can enjoy it with your family or friends. The songs included are the following nine: P.O.P.P.Y, Secret Dream, Stand Get Up, Muteki DUO Energy, Hikari no Kotoba, We're the World, Never Give Up Lover, GIRA GIRA STAR, Zenryoku Joshikakumei! You can also enjoy the songs and the live visuals without playing the game (PV Mode).

And then there's a bunch of minigames/party games based on specific episodes.

I could be wrong, but from the wording, it sounds like those are the only nine songs in the game. It's not a lot, but they aren't gonna stuff it with arcade-only songs for once? That's a surprise.

It's also interesting that AiPri of all series is getting a console game, considering it translates the least well. By which I mean, card sliding is impossible, so the rhythm game is going to be completely different. (From the screenshots and the wording, it looks super simple.)

Anyway, I would recommend preordering this game if you really like AiPri and would enjoy spending time with the characters. I do not think it is going to be a good representation of/replacement for the arcade game and it definitely doesn't look like you'll be able to make your own character. But, like I said, if you really like the AiPri characters, go for it!

(I personally don't think it's worth paying full price for because I imagine this game is going to be dumped into the discount bin in a month.)

all im gna say is a pretty series rhythm game would be huge. put pretty all friends to good use!! a unified art style so that every character could feature in every games songs and coords. and general rhythm game fans would absolutely bite w the sheer amount of songs

not joking btw i always find pretty series arcade machines in weird spots in my dreams. i used to keep a priticket in my wallet in real life because of these dreams because they happen so often and i never have any cards to wear.

They're definitely never going to bring this back, especially in the current era of Nintendo greed, but I do miss in how in Animal Crossing on the GameCube they just had wholesale copies of old NES games that you could play in game. Practically in full. And you didn't even need to cheat to get (most of) them.

I remember how handy it was back in the day (when time traveling still had consequences) that I could just play Ice Climbers while I waited for the in-game clock to get to where I needed it to be and then I could run out of my little house and go about my tiny errands. It was fun. It's also why I knew who the ice climbers were when we got smash bros melee.
