Episode Notes:

1. PC Engine footage captured from real hardware.

2. There are a number of SNK fighters that transitioned to the PC Engine well. They used the Arcade Card for the CDROM to bring home those games far better than you would have thought possible.

3. Though the PC Engine version of Champion Edition has no speed settings, it still plays plenty fast. I imagine most will not miss the extra settings unless they really appreciated the higher speeds.

4. Similar to the Genesis, Capcom did not develop most of its properties on the PC Engine. Outside studios took up much of that workload. They did do this, however.

5. The HuCard for this is thicker than most games. It's similar to the Super System Card for the CDROM.

6. This was very well received at its release. Most gaming publications reviewed it even though it was a Japanese import, giving it scores similar to the Genesis and SNES editions.

7. I'd rank the console like this:

Visuals(2/3 could be a tie honestly) -
#1 SNES
#2 PCE
#3 MD

MUSIC -
#1 MD
#2 SNES
#3 PCE

SOUND EFFECTS -
#1 SNES
#2 PCE
#3 MD

GAMEPLAY(almost exclusively because of the available controllers and speed options) -
#1 MD
#2 PCE
#3 SNES
