Description

The Saturn version contains an original "Arcade Mode," a practically arcade-perfect conversion of the original, as well as an updated "Saturn Mode." In addition to including a new 3D opening cinematic, Saturn Mode also has cleaner, brighter, and more detailed sprites and backgrounds, even redrawn in some cases. The character select screen features 3D models of the Buster Gears. Certain animations are also smoother and redone to seem more 3D, particularly for the first boss. There are also some enhancements on the gameplay. For example, the Armor mode can lock its aim with the addition of a new button, allowing for independent aiming, a feature that was not present in the arcade version. Certain aspects of the game were also made harder. Overall, the Saturn version has more features. While the original arcade soundtrack used the native sound equipment of the arcade machine, the Saturn version boasts an arranged soundtrack that is CD quality.

Not a fan of how the arcade recordings were handled in this port. It was like whoever was in charge of recording deliberately offset the PCM timing just to make the CD-DA arrangements seem better than they really are.
That's not to say the CD-DA arrangements sound outright bad, but it still feels like a very dishonest move to sabotage one version of their own soundtrack to make another version look good. I doubt Tsukumo would've liked this if he ever found out, regardless of how unsatisfied he felt about the arcade version when making the CD-DA arrangements.

The arrangement here is well done.
