Imagine adding realism to a Namco arcade game... Couldn't be me.UltraEpicLeader1002021-10-02Version 1.0

I tried this hack but I couldn't stomach it. Though if the mods of RHDN don't mind. I'd like to use this as a rant.

Usually when I see an arcade port for NES (or any system that for that matter) be labeled as "Enhanced" usually I think it'll be like "Oh. I improved the title screen to make it more like it's arcade counterpart" or "I overhauled all of the ingame sprites to resemble the Arcade version and changed placement of music to make it feel even closer to it's arcade counterpart"

With this in mind. I was thinking it was to either cram in the N-163 to make it sound closer to the arcade version (Not unlike Mappy 30th Anniversary Editon) or maybe you cleaned up some of the sprites to better resemble the arcade game.

Now throw all that out because you thought it'd be funny to add "le epic realism".

I mean if you'd look at the artwork for the game (https://images.launchbox-app.com/b286c629-f946-46fe-95a2-dbec9509df00.jpg Artwork in question.) You could tell it wasn't going for "muh realism".
